Ive got nothing against people who go to shows just to see Jon shake his booty or because they think he's hot, I just wish they'd listen to enough of the music to ask for something other than Prayer or Wanted. Much of the audience has a limited knowledge of BJ's songbook here in the US so we get less varied shows, because by the time Jon puts in the new stuff whatever it may be at the time, all these people want is their "hits", you just can't put much more unknown stuff intoa show and keep the crowd,whther that's what he wants to do or not. There are places, like Philly, Giants etc.... where the old stuff from 7800 will get played and go over, but overall those songs just aren't going to get a great response here.
