What was the best bad joke of the tour ?

I'm going to have to agree with the secret other option regarding how many songs off the Circle were played. Three songs were never played at all, and BPL was only played once. Bullet did not get enough showing either.

The red jacket was one of the best things about the tour. Combined with the Skull cane Jon looked like something from another planet. Which is what Rock & Roll is all about.

The biggest joke was putting Hugh to the back of the stage. Very un-classy move.

Of those choices, I went with the NMS encore thing. Of course I'm bias in that regard ;]

I don't seem to remember what the encore thing was about. Can you shed some light?

The encore of the fourth NMS show was:

23. Wanted Dead Or Alive
24. I Love This Town
25. Glad All Over
26. Livin' On A Prayer

Right at the start of GAO Jon hurt his leg. The next day on FB a message was posted, supposedly by Jon, that said he was ready to launch into an "endless encore" before he got hurt. Considering that they'd already played 26 songs, and the show had been terrible in every possible way, that was obviously a crock.

OK, that jogged my memory. The reports from that show were awful, so that does seem like a bunch of crap. It's interesting how the rest of that leg was very good, after such a shitty show.

You know, being a Bon Jovi fan, it's good to learn to deal with the bullshit. I rarely check the FB page, it's the same crap over and over again: tour photos and "OMG THANK YOU FOR THE X-MILLION FANS!!!!" videos.

The last two "Tour Highlights" post on their facebook page were:

.Wanted with Kid rock: Not only he missed the lyrics, but he kept strumming the D chord almost the whole song, and he even played it in the wrong fret.

.I love this town: If this was a tour highlight, I don´t know what else to say ...

Not playing BOBITA in every show. Nice one Jon. Funny dude you are.

Any bobby solos... they had to be a joke, right?

Another thing is the lack of use of the circle stage. Other than the circle set and other occasional songs, it wasn't touched. It should've been used on most, if not every song that Jon is mobile on. And Richie should've ventured out onto the circle during the solo in Dry County or the outro during Keep the Faith, much like he went to the other side of the stage on the Lost Highway Tour.

There's been bands who had catwalks of sorts and have used them on every song. What's the point of having something like that if they barely touch it?
