Will this be the last time you see the band live?

The average Latinamerican setlist last tour was the same than the North American one plus "What Do You Got?". They changed up things on Brasil and Argentina

Don't know - I'm not as excited as the last few times. Maybe it will change during the tour, I don't know.

It'll be the last time I do multiple shows, but that's thanks to having a little un on the way in August so I'll get my last hurrah this time around just in time! I'm definitely told no more multiple shows after that (despite being told that every tour so far )

Regardless of setlists, I generally always enjoy myself at a Bon Jovi show, I enjoy listening to Bon Jovi, so having the band play it live for a few hours is a perfectly good use of an evening. Yes, some shows are better than others and they are still a few steps away from an acceptable setlist (much more so in America) but Im not overly concerned about Europe yet- they know we like These Days over Lost Highway and will tailor accordingly.

The worry is with other fans- if you've seen the band on any of the tours since 2008 you've seen pretty much the show. It's solely the new tracks pulling people in- I don't think they are strong enough to do that, as people go because of the Bon Jovi catalogue, but with the stagnant setlists there really isn't much incentive for people who saw them in 2011, 2010 or 2008 to shell out ever more money this time around and in future. Add to that a static Jon and it's not looking too rosie.

This is the first tour I will skip since 1988.
The band isn't coming to Holland and with sets and performances like these there is no point in spending a lot of money and time going abroad to Germany for example.

Wont be the last but i'm cutting down on the amount. Only doing two shows this tour (although i've yet to buy the London ticket).

Fact of the matter is how long will it be until Jon stands behind the mic with a guitar and sings IML? I see the guitar becoming a prop, a way for him to age gracefully on stage and its becoming more and more common. As such I intend on seeing them on the next few tours whilst he's still willing to some what resemble the front man from the 80's/90's/early 00's.

I'm hoping when the band hit uk they start really pulling out all the stops.

Agree. Jon should understand that there're not such thing as and "untochable song", he should change up things the most he can, maybe not from day to day, but at least from tour to tour. Also, if you have 7 songs from the new record, 7 songs that aren't anthems or hit material, he shouldn't add another filling song IMO.

It started that way, but was thankfully dropped!

No, I just stopped having high expectations or let's say analyzing every single set-list.
The last tour was a bit of a letdown for me but mainly because I was on this board too much.
They are still able to surprise me live and there was just one show I thought was bland and it was still an ok show for a usually very good live band. I came to accept (for the most part) that things have changed and I am really looking forward to hearing the new songs.
Even an average show by BJ is good and sometimes they make it special by playing songs like Hard Letting You Go, These Days, Hey God or delivering a stunning performance of Keep The Faith.

This'll be my first Jovi gig ever! Really looking forward to seeing them at Soldier Field! Being 18 now, the last time they toured the city I was 15/6 so I never had the chance to go to downtown Chicago to see them perform.
