I'd Die For You wasn't a hit, Runaway was. Very similar intros too. Maybe they weren't ready to remove the original hit from the set and decided to go with the reworked rarity. Sent from my HTC6535LVW using Tapatalk |

And I'd Die For You wasn't a rarity either. Since it got introduced during the Slippery tour it's been a setlist staple up until Crush. But we will never find out the truth unless the band reveals what was happening back then. And since they probably don't remember it, we will keep on guessing. |

In 1996, they were playing I'd Die For You because they had been experimenting with it just for fun in the studio some time before - Jon said that during one of the European shows before playing it. In 2000, the initial idea had been to keep the acoustic set and hence they were probably looking for a halfway-known song to fit in there in a different fashion. However, the acoustic section was axed after 4 shows on the tour, but Runaway survived. |

"Runaway" was never recorded with the current band, though at that time there were plans to put a "Runaway '94" on the album but it was never recorded. One other point. I always assumed it was acoustic style because of Prayer 94 and Runaway 2000 but it was never really stated... It could have been a one to one updated copy too. Discover Music also talks about it. I'm surprised this is new info for everyone. |

It's not really hard to believe that they would have included Stranger, when you consider that Ballad Of Youth was included on the Keep The Faith videos, and Every Road was on deluxe editions of WAN many years later. So Jon was not adverse to using Richie solo tracks on band releases. Stranger was a staple in the setlist around the time and Jon has been quoted saying that he wishes Richie would have saved the song for Bon Jovi....so this was a way of getting it on a Bon Jovi album. |

I remember there being talks about the band re-recording Runaway for Crossroad because no one bar Jon and Hugh were on it, but I always assumed they would've re-done the original version at best :D
