Default Very silly point within a Bon Jovi setlist

Two songs from 'The Circle'? Shocking. Abysmal.

However, what's worse, they are still playing more tracks from the previous album. 'Lost Highway' is clearly an album the band enjoys but when there's more songs from an album which isn't considered highly by fans over the newest album, there's a problem.

However, there has been signs of this previously on other tours, just in less extreme situations. Remember the 'Bounce' tour? The tour where four songs from 'Crush' every night was almost a given?

It's ridiculous.

It's The Circle Tour so why they're doing this, I don't know. They're not even trying to win us over.

Brokenpromiseland played once .. what's that all about?
Bullet .. 3-4 times? Ridiculous.
Learn To Love, Live Before You Die & Fast Cars haven't even been played at all.

I'd love them to have the balls to play this album in it's entirety.

2 songs?! That's ABSURD (I love that word)! At the LH concert I went to 2 years ago, they played 6 new songs! I thought the guys were very proud of this album. In my eyes, they should play more Circle songs than any other album on THE CIRCLE TOUR. The only album where it would be acceptable to play more songs from would be Slippery When Wet.

Maybe its sebs all powering influence over me (but really, I still like the album) but the circle songs are absolutely shit live. Work for the working man, when we were beautiful and I love this town were the only 3 boring songs of the night at calgary. I actually wouldve taken crash over any one of those 3 any day.

But i do wish loves the only rule or thorn in my side was played...

They are playing the wrong songs from it, or in some cases at the wrong spot in the set..... yeah Born to follow being played every nights I have no problem with, Superman I can live with, WWWB is just one new slow song too many. Broken promiseland, Happy Now and Thorn all deserve to be regulars. Maybe play Fast Cars once or twice for me personally Working man doesn't need to be played every night I don't care how much money they wasted on it's visuals.

I think they should just bin The Circle and just do a regular tour. That seems what it is.

That's right, they just don't rock enough and are about as fun as a shit sandwich. On record they are fine but out in a big stadium / arena they get gobbled up and spat out.

People need to realise Lost Highway was ten times more successful then The Circle, that's why it still gets aired.

There's no mystery to this, Phasing out The Circle is simply a justified decision on the bands part.

I thought Jon said that the Circle songs were meant to be played live - in stadiums? Seems he's had a change of heart.

I think when he saw people sobbing or running for the toilets it clicked "God darn it, I do believe we have a prize turkey on our hands"

That's true. I think it's because of that damn key change. That works for old songs, but not new ones. It won't kill them to take WWBTF or Superman up to key.
