OK, it is clear now that the band are shaking it up and changing songs around more time than on any post 2000 tour.

Jon is singing better now than on any post 2000 tour.

So for those of us that have been whinging for years about the boring set lists we need to shut up for a bit - yes, some of the songs that have come in would not be the ones we would like (Misunderstood, for example) - but you can't have everything.

The bottom line at the moment is that this has got to be the most exciting Bon Jovi tour since the 'These Days' tour.

HOWEVER (and there is always a 'but') :

Because Jon has raised the bar with 'OWN', 'Always', 'Hey God' etc etc anyone who goes to a show and doesn't get a rarity or gets a bog standard set list is going to be mightily hacked off.
It makes me wonder why the band look at certain towns / cities / shows and characterises them as 'special' and therefore worth interesting choices or 'normal' and only worthy of the normal set. I haven't managed to spot a pattern as to the choices yet, has anyone else?
