Thoughts so far?

I think Wanted belongs up there as well. CLassic! Could live without bad name

I agree 100%. In fact, I think Wanted should get an extended intro again.

Yes, something to refresh the song. It is kinda boring now. Just the keyboard riff at the beginning.

This may be quite controversial but I honestly believe the only songs needed to be played every night are:

Livin' On A Prayer
Wanted Dead Or Alive
Runaway

You can swap 'Runaway' with 'It's My Life' if you want. I know 'It's My Life' is a massive hit but it's just poor and lacks energy live. However, they always seem to enjoy 'Runaway' and it was the band's first single.

Bloody hell. Log on for the first time in a few months and suddenly it's 1987

I do know what you mean, but I feel if you are going on hits, then KTF and Always should also be standard in sets.

I agree that they should be staples, but they don't need to be played every night. These two songs need to be performed to the best standards, when the band want to play them and when they can pull them off, basically.

I think it's great that they have started to play songs from the first two albums again, they should have done that ten years ago.

The intro before the opener is just simply amazing. I totally love it. And I am sure when you are there and see it on those huge screens it is even 10 times better compared to what we get on youtube.

Set lists look really great, almost perfect. It seems that we will hear loads of rarities this time, so everyone will be satisfied. I can’t wait to hear Richie in HT, although personally I’d love to hear him singing Ballad of Youth or for example If I Can’t Have Your Love (for sure something from his solo albums). But it’s fantastic that he gets one song on lead vocals again. And it should (I hope it will) stay like that for the whole tour.

I would only add (or change with some) 6 songs to make it my dream set list. It would be: Keep The Faith, Dry County, These Days, Something to Believe In, BrokenPromiseland and Bullet or Happy Now (Undivided and Dirty Little Secret would be additional surprises). But if they keep rehearsing like they did so far I think it is highly possible they will perform them all on the road at some point. Hopefully all of them in Paris

Only four shows in, and already this has been a fantastic tour to follow on the internets. There's been at least four songs that I never thought they'd play (and both Only Lonely and Shot Through The Heart are sounding utterly fantastic), a number of other unexpected surprises (Blood On Blood opening, Something For The Pain, Richie doing Homebound Train), and some great performances of the new songs. All in all, I'm very excited about this tour, what we've seen so far really makes me want to buy more 02 tickets!
