What was the best bad joke of the tour ?

I agree that it's a shame that the circle wasn't used more. In Europe, or at least in Oslo (haven't checked other peformances) Jon used the circle on both It's My Life and Livin' on a Prayer and believe me, the crowd went nuts! And he used it on LTOR too, especially in 2010.

Richie should have gone out there. I guess it's because he deosn't use wireless guitars, so he is pretty trapped behind his mic stand. Pitty

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?

It was an improvement on the LH tour at least- that super duper stage that went up and down and Jon used it for WGIGO and that was about it.

And remember that Times Square promo show? How they kept promoting that thing on YouTube and how we could put in requests for the setlist, and the most popular songs would be played? The most popular songs were These Days, TAALS, and WITW, and the set contained nothing special. The most special song was probably Shout in Bad Medicine.

By now, any Jovi fan should learn to take anything Jon says with a grain of salt, or a truckfull of it for that matter...

I agree. I do not understand why they even bothered with setting up the "circle stage"?

Such a missed and/or wasted opportunity for Jon and for the band.

But, most of all, for the FANS.

Oh, and the exclusive circle seats in the states. I don't know why Jon and Richie stopped walking thru that area to reach the outer circle, for the few songs that they did use the outer circle on?

"Thru" being the key word, not around it, in the dark, which is what he ended up doing.

That was another huge disappointment during this tour.

At least, for me.
