Once again, Pearl Jam get away with what they do because they don't have 10+ hits that they have to play every show. Come on man, you have to agree by now that Pearl Jam are not the same type of "Hit makers" as BJ.

of course i udnerstand that - it is a simple concept, i just dont agree...
not one of these casual fans was dying to hear sleep, or WGIGO, or pick your non hit bon jovi songs that they play every show....jovi played them , they worked, people picked up on it, all im saying is that they have a HUGE catalog of songs that would fall into this category and we accept it for some reason saying that have to play 10 hits...okay, let them play 10 hits, fine if that is IMPOSSIBLE to deal with...there are 15-20 OTHER SONGS IN A SHOW....
they play SFTP acoustic all of the sudden - were people clarmoring for that...? No that was awesome - then they played that song AT EVERY SHOW from then on....they have 500 other songs that deserve some attention, thats where the laziness comes in....
i am not suggesting that you poke other fans at concerts - i am big believer that people READ boards like this.... if you dont think so i think you are kinda a spaz in this day of social marketing but either way SOEMBODY reads this stuff, weve seen plenty of evidence of that and people ON THIS BOARD give them a pass, not everybody but it seems most, and my ONLY point is that if WE can have a majority at least that want more, maybe we would get more, i think all levels of jovi fans would benefit as no casual fan knows all jovi songs and youwould not hear comments from casusals anymore such as wow i have sen the SAME SHOW for the last 10 YEARS....
cmon folks...if we dont care who will....
no one...
