Well they promised us 72....

There is no way, objectively, that Dry County is not in the 72 best Bon Jovi songs.

As if Dry County kept the majority of the audience interested in 1993.

I know, I know. But still, if you're always aiming at the majority of the audience, they will eventually get tired of you. The majority of the audience wants the hits, and hits only. If you always target your shows at that majority, the majority eventually will say they've heard it all, and will stay away if you offer nothing new.

It's exactly what is happening in Europe nowadays. Fans don't care about the new songs and have heard the old ones a thousand times by now. Bon Jovi have been playing the same show for over 5 years now and people here are saying that they've heard it before, hence the disappointing ticket sales.
