Uhmm......this is a whole other topic, but.......first off...Love Me Back To Life simply isn't played live, or hasn't been yet..but not because of the technical issues listed above.
Jon rarely plays guitar and only one? Ok, going by Shepherds Bush, which is the most recent reference I have on video.....Jon plays guitar on 9 of the 18 songs played....half of the show. So depending on your defination of rarely plays guitar live.....
Then you say he uses only one guitar......without re-watching it and noting the exact make and models, he played at least 3 different guitars. Finally, he's not exactly playing his electric guitars "clean." So that would wash out the "no effectsboard" theory. It may not be a rack but there sure as hell is one.
Finally, Love Me Back To Life can be quite ably played and sound good live as I just heard it done 3 weeks ago by the tribute band, Slippery When Wet. No one in the club knew it, but whatever. It sounded good. If they can do it, I'm quite sure the original can.
Bon Jovi isn't a band that doesn't play one of their own songs live because they lack the ability. You are thinking of KISS with their penchant for rehiring drummers and guitarists that can't play for sh**.
They may still play the song yet....the tour is still fairly fresh and surprises come up every now and then in the show.
