Nope. Even though this is not a bon jovi setlist thread, which has been discussed a million times on here before, I can look at the setlist from, say, a Dublin show of each tour from These Days right up to 2011, and the setlist is significantly different each time. Even between the two back to back shows in 2011, totally different sets. Some lousy choices and/or performances of course, but this band do (at least more than DL) attempt to represent their entire career catalogue across a tour- with the exception of 7800 of course :(! - I'm talking about mixing sets up, not playing rarities btw.
As for Sebby there;

However, would it have been different if they'd have focussed on the past but would have selected different songs from their back catalogue?

Meh, not really, but that's just me. I like hearing new fresh songs by a band I that I am seeing live who I have seen several times before. That ''current'' feeling, knowing that your listening to a current song, written recently by the artist in front of you is a good vibe. The song might suck of course, but I still find it exciting. That is why I like watching support bands too, or when an artist I like says they are going to play a brand new song I haven't heard, I am very interested and usually would take this over a song I've seen them perform countless times before.
I love a bit of nostalgia, don't get me wrong - but the reason I probably won't be going to see bands like Aerosmith or Leppard again for example is that I have seen them already and could probably predict 95% of the set, and I know they won't be playing any of the newer stuff, especially once that tour is over. I Liked 'Just push play' and 'Songs from the sparkle lounge'' for example, but it sucks that it's pretty unlikely I will see the songs live at a new gig.
