I like the song selection. I agree, drop all but 1 song from LH. Enough of Who Says. Have A Nice Day should be a regular. 20-22 songs is not enough for the amount of money they charge for tickets. The new songs all sound great. I was surprised but I also think the early songs sounded great too.

I also agree with this. I'd much rather keep HAND than Who Says, but I'm afraid we're stuck with the latter. From what I've been able to find on YouTube, I'm very happy with the songs from The Circle. I thought they'd be good live, but so many seemed convinced that they wouldn't be. I can't wait to hear them myself!

So far no heavy complaints. LH should not open the show at all. I think Who Says and Got It Going On will stay. At the Meadowlands they should come full circle and open with Lay and play NJ in full. They need to add more songs from the new record like Bullet.

I really can't say anything new other than I agree WGIGO needs to be dismissed for the tour as well as keeping the LH tracks to a minimum.

I only very recently started truly feeling WLOL so I am more than happy to see it stay in the set and frankly they give the song plenty of passion in the performance, which is what I want to see. At max, I'd be down to hear Lost Highway as well...seeing as I skipped that tour, but NOT as the set opener. I'm hoping they played as many LH songs as they did more as a nod to Hawaii to make it the LH/Circle show dates to make up for not being there last time around

Everyone....you need to already accept WSYCGH as being along side Prayer and Bad Name. It's not going anywhere so save thread space bitching about it and go take a piss if you can't handle it when it comes up.

Collectively however, had I lived there and attended both nights...I'd be pretty stoked. Opening with Blood On Blood on night one would have been a highlight and quite unexpected with great flow into WWBTF, which btw....is hardly a shit song... it's a shit first single. I look forward to hearing and seeing it performed. So far, it appears the band may possibly recognize the song will work better as the 2nd song rather than as the set opener. Hopefully I haven't spoken too soon.

To hear Only Lonely and Tokyo Road done on top of Roulette (my favorite from the debut) and Shot through the Heart would be and were surreal to hear. I hope more is coming, but if these were it...I'd hope they get played collectively through the shows I'm going to be attending.

The Circle tracks collectively are quite satisfying. Personally, I'd like to see them play the majority of the album nightly rather than swapping out, in particularly I'd of course have BPL be a nightly staple along with the core three (WWBTF, WWWB, and ST.) I know more than a few of us are breathing a sigh of relief at knowing not only is Love's the Only Rule recognized as deserving of being a regular, but that Thorn In My Side is not going to be forgotten. Throw in Fast Car and Happy Now to the circulation and I'll be satisfied at their coverage of the album for the tour.

Apart from the rarities and a few of the new songs sounding good, the biggest positive of the first two shows appears to be the fact that energy levels are high and the band (including Jon!) really look as if they are enjoying themselves.

I agree with everyone who says that there is no need to play 3 LH songs! Some shows from the last tour had only four from that album?!?!

So pick some more songs from the 90's please, keep changing the opening song, keep the older stuff and keep it up for the whole tour please!

As the band seem to have listened to the fans for once, do any others have the feeling that when they come to Europe, thats maybe when the 90's stuff comes to the fore? Seeing as the 90's was when Jovi where at their biggest in Europe?

I knew some of you people in here would complain it's just so typical
If i was Jon i'd play the whole lost highway album just to pee you all off.
Some of you here are a complete disgrace,Thery have gone back to the first 2 albums,Played some new stuff,Gone back and played something from at least every album and we still have people complaining.
When you become Bon Jovi or as big as this band you can then all start to play your own set list live.
The band sound awesome and i congratulate them for going back and diving into there early stuff to please almost everybody.
As for the rest of you.DONT GO TO THE SHOWS.

Come again? I was not complaining, I was just wondering if other people felt we might see more KTF and TD's in Europe or not, as that is when they were biggest over here. I wasn't saying fcuk JBJ if he doesn't play KTF or TD's. At the moment I am more than happy with the sets, except for WGIGO and WSYCGH, but I accept that they are likely to stay.
