What songs do you want on the 2nd leg of the tour?
Pick songs you would like to see worked into/rotated in the set list.
Obviously, this isn't a plan for every night, but just some songs to add variety. New: Living with the Ghost I Will Drive You Home New Year's Day All Hail the King Devil's in the Temple 2000's Superman Tonight Love's the Only Rule Make a Memory The Distance Who Would You Die For Beautiful World (This never got played, right?) What's Left of Me 90's These Days I Believe Saturday Night Keep the Faith Destination Anywhere Blaze of Glory 80's Wild Is the Wind Blood on Blood Let It Rock And please never play again: We Weren't Born to Follow Work for the Working Man Happy Now |
I'd be happy with anything that isn't the same overplayed combination of Lost Highway, Whole Lot Of Leavin, We Got It Goin On and Sleep When I'm Dead.
Obvious ones that need to be put in the sets are I'll Be There For You, Bed of Roses, In These Arms and Blaze of Glory as they're all well-known hits. I think the reason we haven't heard IBTFY or BOR yet on this tour is because Jon knows they're both going to be especially difficult on his vocals and so he picks Always instead (which is even more difficult): if you're gonna go big, you might as well go really big. I like all of your picks, I'd especially like them to play I Will Drive You Home a couple of times as it's my favourite song from the new album. I'd like to see Blood on Blood and Saturday Night get played a little bit more frequently, I was happy that they got played as often as they did but Saturday Night was rather neglected towards the end of the leg. Runaway should also get played regularly, as has been done closer towards the end of the leg. I think it's a great encore song that everyone knows. I'd love to see them play: One Wild Night & Bounce (two fun little rockers that could easily replace WGIGO) Wild In The Streets (I can't emphasize enough how much I want this to be a staple) Never Say Goodbye (In my perfect world this would be the final song, probably played acoustic, to end every show. Kind of like how Bruce often ends his shows with an acoustic version of Thunder Road although admittedly NSG is no where near as popular a song amongst casuals.) Story of My Life (Kind of in the same vein as OWN and Bounce). Anything from These Days!! (Such an underappreciated album in live shows. Jon knows full well how much it is loved by the fans so when he throws in a few songs like Hey God or Something to Believe In he knows the die-hards will appreciate it but in my opinion it deserves a bit more play time. Why not play something like (It's Hard) Letting You Go, surely that song isn't too painful on the vocals. I honestly do believe that the band is ready to play around 90 songs as David claims, but Jon just wants to stick to his guns (another song I'd love to see get a spin!!). I think most of the 90 are one-offs or very rare songs like Dry County, Hey God etc. They will get played, just not as often as they could be. |
More Burning Bridges songs besides WDR... And Loves The Only Rule as Jon mentioned
|
Anything pre-Circle. Literally anything.

I Wanna Be Loved would be great. Has a similar mood and feel to the general atmosphere of the new record.
There's a fair bit of great stuff from the 00's that he could still just about pull off I think. Happy Now, Bounce and Born Again Tomorrow!! Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk |
My list.
Living with the Ghost These Days Dry County Wild I the Wind Goodnight New York Beautyful World I'm With You Bounce Joey Just Older Two Story Town Last Man Standing Story of My Life Bells of Freedom I Belive A Teardrop to the Sea Saturday Night Gave Me Sunday Morning I'm Your Man Burning Bridges Diomnd Ring Bullet Thorn In My Side Superman tonight Happy Now That's What the Water Made Me What's Left of Me |
I'll try be realistic here....
Throw in a brief acoustic snippet of NSG in a few encores here and there. Maybe, instead of always, give bed of roses a shot (I am open to a reworked, downtuned or acoustic version) . I hope they keep the 6 or so THINFS songs in the set, but be sure to mix them up every night. I would love ITA, something like this: https://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=lop29BPAvE0. Also, imagine how awesome it would be if we got a snippet of lie to me! Like this, https://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=3nyxhcRt0K8. I don't think these days is realistic. Could IBTFY be made to work? I hope it is at least attempted once or twice. Definitely throw in BAT to the set every few nights. |
I'd like to see In these Arms played a couple times (give DB the lead!) also, I wonder they could still do Roulette... I think it sounded okay in 2010 when they played Hawaii. Oh, and Let it Rock, I bet Phil would rock that solo if given the chance to

How come songs like last cigarette or novocaine or maybe even story of my life dosen't get performed?? Jon should be able to pull that off
Anyways my list would be Living with the ghost Real love Blind love Brokenpromiseland Live before you die Fast cars Learn to love I wanna be loved Welcome to wherever you are Wildflower Last cigarette Novocaine You had me from hello Love me back to life Everyday Undivided Next 100 years Say it isn't so Just older Save the world These days Something for the pain Something to believe in Bitter wine Anything before or from these days is fine with me |
I would LOVE to hear the songs NEVER performed live like Hearts breaking even...
|
Honestly, just variety. I know I've said it before but the repeat songs they're choosing aren't bad but don't need to be highlighted every tour. Give some of those non hits a rest. 99 in the Shade would be a fun party song, One Wild Night, Bounce. Just switch it up a tad, if not show to show then tour to tour.

It's really time for Everyday to return. Comercially it's a top 40 hit in the States, Top 10 hit in Canada, Germany, Australia and a bunch of European countries. It has a sold 8 million plays on Youtube and was a first single.
Musically it's an utempo energetic song that actually has a heavy rock feel to it. It's easy on Jons vocals and would be perfect to play early in the set instead of songs like Lost Highway, WLOL, Born To Follow etc. One Wild Night, Misunderstood, Bounce, Last Man Standing, Story of My Life, Any Other Day, Thorn In My Side, LTOR, Saturday Nights Gave Me Sunday Mornings, Water Made Me would be a good bunch of the 2000 material. Those are songs I picked thinking of what could actually work out live and mainly songs Jon could manage to get through. I'd love for the band to play all of NJ, KTF and TD but it's not realistic. He'll play the hits because he has to - but the days of hearing Hey God, Dry County, TAALS, Wild in the Streets, Livin In Sin and so on are gone. |

Kinda strange that Living with a ghost hasn't been played, but maybe the song is too much inspired by Richie so that Jon does not want to go through that emotion every night. When you write a song, you're in a whole other place than when you're performing it in front of 20.000 fans who are there to rock out. The list above contains some funny titles that - dreaming is allowed though - will never ever see the light of day anymore on a stage : bitter wine, save the world, I want to be loved, Cigarette, wildflower, You had me from hello, Novocaine ( so many hand songs in that list - was that your fav record?) Super rarities that i can see being played once are : - Story of my life - Undivided (would fit if ever doing a paris show in Europe since paris is the city suffering most under terrorist attacks - the song has a link) - Everyday : that's a great suggestion that was made - this band would nail it - Love is the only rule might be the rarity they pull from The Circle The old classic rarities of fan favorites - I believe, STBI, Hey God, Dry County, This ain't a love song, ... If i believed in god i'd pray for those songs :) Halleluja baby ! |
... Whooaaa... been reading the board from time to time but it has been a long time I've posted. Just saying : it feels good to write again :) - most unimportant post everrrrr!

Anything different. Literally anything. And more THINFS songs. They should ALL get an airing and the whole album should be switched up and played over the course of each few shows.
They keep missing out hit singles, I keep saying it but songs like Misunderstood, Everyday, One Wild Night, TYFLM, AALY & Say It Isn't So. Anything with a video pre-2006 got plenty of rotation on music channles so fans and casuals know them. It almost doesnt matter whether Jon can sing songs or not - he can't sing Prayer or Always but still does them, so what's another one? I'd rather he try and fail rather than have Sleep, LH & WLOL for the umpteenth time. |
Here's an extensive list of songs that I think they could (and should) still pull off:
-Shot Through the Heart [not a chance in hell it will be played, but it is well within Jon's current range] -Tokyo Road [also not a chance in hell of being played, except maybe a very slight possibility in Japan. Dave, Phil, Hugh, and Everett could help out in the chorus, in the same vein as they do in THINFS] -I'd Die For You [relatively well-known song, well within Jon's range] -Never Say Goodbye [acoustic version. within Jon's range. Also one of there more well-known songs] -Wild is the Wind [popular among die-hards, not as rangy as some of their other songs from the 80s.] -Love For Sale [well within Jon's range. Might take Phil a little while to learn it though] -I'll Be There For You [exactly WHY has this not been performed at all on this tour yet!? It's only one of their biggest songs of all time for crying out loud!] -In These Arms [Why this hasn't even been played yet is beyond me! It would be useful to give Dave this one somewhere in the middle of a show so Jon can rest his voice for a few mins. Also, it was played during the 2015 Asia tour, where Jon's voice was even worse than it currently is!] -Bed of Roses [quite rangy, but considering that it is one of there most well-known songs, it needs to be performed on this tour. If they can do "Always", who says they can't do this one? I wouldn't be mad if they brought down the key to D like they do with "In These Arms"] -Dry County [very rangy, but an extremely popular song. Definitely not one to be played often, but it deserves a few plays every tour due to its popularity. Also, Phil performs the solo excellently] -These Days [only if Jon sings it the way Richie does at his solo shows and lets Dave, Everett, and Phil handle the high notes] -Diamond Ring [well within Jon's range] -(It's Hard) Letting You Go [not a chance in hell of being played, but the other band members can sing the high "whooaa"s in this song if it ever is] -Lie to Me [another one without a chance in hell of being played, but if it is, it should be the acoustic version played in 2011] -Just Older [quite an anthem live, and not incredibly rangy. Maybe they don't perform it anymore because Jon doesn't want people to think he and the band are becoming irrelevant?] -One Wild Night [easily much better than WGIGO. Should be a live staple.] -Thank You For Loving Me [this would be a good way to thank all of the fans that have witnessed his struggles (both with Richie and his voice) over the years. It would also make a good show closer] -Next 100 Years [well within Jon's range, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks Phil would absolutely kill the epic solo at the end!] -Say it Isn't So [within Jon's range and would make for an interesting surprise] -Undivided [as mentioned in a previous post, would be an appropriate song to play in Paris considering recent events] -Bounce [good alternative to WGIGO. Also appropriate for Paris.] -Everyday [high-charting single, also well within Jon's range. Last performance was in 2008] -Misunderstood [well within Jon's range, and I believe it charted reasonably well in some countries] -The Distance [not particularly rangy, and one of the best songs off Bounce. Not a chance in hell of being played though, the last live performance of this song was over 10 years ago] -You Had Me From Hello [not a chance in hell of being played, but not particularly rangy] -Open All Night [Bounce Song] [acoustic, just like in 2010. It would definitely still sound good today if played this way, but there's not a chance in hell of that happening] -The Radio Saved My Life Tonight [like "In These Arms", it was played during the Asia 2015 tour. Well within Jon's range as he has always sung the chorus in a low octave] -Miss Fourth of July [well within Jon's range. Good acoustic song, but not a chance in hell of being played] -Last Man Standing [well within Jon's range, great when performed live] -Story of My Life [well within Jon's range, high energy] -Last Cigarette [same as "Story of My Life"] -Welcome to Wherever You Are [this song contains some of the best lyrics Jon has ever written. They can easily play it down a step or so like Jon did at that one Runaway Tours show in 2015] -Bells of Freedom [same as WTWEYA, except for the part about the lyrics.] -(You Want to) Make a Memory [the most well-known song off Lost Highway, and definitely one of the better ones from this album. It was played once in 2015, and is not very rangy. Maybe they aren't playing it on this tour because it sounds almost identical to "Scars on This Guitar"?] -I Love This Town [one of their most hated songs, but a live staple and well within Jon's range. Should not be played often, and only in places that Jon has a strong connection with.] -Summertime [fun, up-beat song and well within Jon's range] -The Last Night [only if acoustic, like they did in 2010] -Any Other Day [slightly rangier than other songs from Lost Highway, but by far the best song on the album. Phil would kill the solo at the end, as would Dave, and Shanks would probably do something more interesting than Bobby's one-note solos during his turn] -When We Were Beautiful [within Jon's range, and would add variety to the shows like it did in 2013] -Superman Tonight [only if Acoustic, like in Seoul 2015] -Love's the Only Rule [a bit rangy, and should not be played often. One of the best from The Circle] -Bullet [not all that rangy, and would add some interesting variety. Would also be appropriate in Paris] -Brokenpromiseland [not that rangy, and one of the best from The Circle. Not a chance in hell of being played, though] -Thorn in My Side [Well within Jon's range. I don't know about you all, but I'd love to see Jon and Phil do a dual-solo!] -What Do You Got? [well within Jon's range] -No Apologies [Jon doesn't sing most of the the chorus anyway!] -The More Things Change [well within Jon's range, and the message of this song would be a good one to give considering the amount of change the band has gone through in recent years] -This is Love, This is Life [within Jon's range, and arguably the best of the four new songs released on Greatest Hits] -Not Running Anymore [well within Jon's range and would add interesting variety] -Santa Fe [obviously acoustic like in 2010/2011] -What About Now [well within Jon's range, and still somewhat well-known considering the album What About Now is still relatively new] -That's What the Water Made Me [most fans should still know it considering it was the opening song for 3/4 of the 2013 tour, and also many of the 2015 shows] -I'm With You [arguably one of the best songs on WAN] -What's Left of Me [well within Jon's range] -Amen [a little rangy, but as I mentioned above WAN is still a relatively new album, and considering that it was performed quite a bit in 2013, should still be remembered my most fans] -With These Two Hands [not rangy at all, high-energy, and we know Jon can do it live as it was the opening song at quite a few Runaway Tours shows] -Saturday Night Gave Me Sunday Morning [second most well-known song from BB after WDR, and within Jon's range] -We All Fall Down [sped up to about the speed of "Bullet", since the original is way too slow to be a good live song] -I'm Your Man [because they need to perform more songs from Burning Bridges than just WDR!] -A Teardrop to the Sea [very interesting, slightly These Days-esque song. Would be a good encore opener] -Fingerprints [well within Jon's range, and they need to perform more different songs from BB!] -Who Would You Die For [very interesting song, and only a little rangy at parts, much like "Devil"] -Take Back the Night [lively, up-beat (but strangely familiar) song, would be great during an encore] -Born Again Tomorrow [exactly why isn't this song a live staple on this tour!? It's by far the most energetic song on the album, and could easily get people on their feet!] -Come on Up to Our House [like "Thank You For Loving Me", this song would make a great show closer, as it would greatly compliment opening the show with THINFS] -Goodnight New York [since they didn't play it at either MSG show, it likely won't ever be played, but it would still sound great in a live setting due to its energy] -I Will Drive You Home [possibly the least rangy song in their entire catalog, and would sound great in an encore right between "Wanted" and "Prayer". I can just imagine Dave, Hugh, Everett, and Shanks singing that ending harmony together. I don't believe there is much chance of hearing it, though.] -Real Love [this song is the reason "Blind Love" is not on this list. Not rangy at all, and would fit in the same slot as "Scars on This Guitar". -All Hail the King [Jon has showed us he can sing this one at those four promo shows in October] -Color Me In [not rangy at all, but would probably lull the audience to sleep if they played it live. Not a chance of ever being performed] -Touch of Grey [my personal favorite from THINFS. Definitely an encore song, and possibly even a show closer. Not a chance in hell to be played, though.] |
If only Jon could see that list. :(
It's a real shame that some of those songs aren't being played, Jon could easily pull off most of them. I think Jon just doesn't like improvising, he wants to be very prepared and absolutely comfortable with what he's singing, he doesn't like to take risks on the stage which is a shame. |
Great list Zakatar. I'd throw in Novocaine, Get Ready and Hook Me Up as well. I think HAND is an album that is recent enough that Jon could pull some of the album tracks, and yet is old enough to *almost* feel classic. Jon should also be using the BB tracks to add variety without straining his voice to an extreme degree.
How would we feel about the band playing some of Jon's other solo material with the band? Like the DA tracks? |

Zakatar, you do like the expression "not a chance in hell", don't you? :D
|
Have to again offer the thought that the complaints are after a North American leg. Other places WILL get rarer songs. Always have.

Just one simple wish: One wild night!

Come on, they never played that one even in the 90s. Today it's just impossible without reworking on the arrangements like Radio, so the songs becomes something else entirely. |

People with better memory than me will confirm or correct me. Once there was a talk that Jon checks YouTube and fan boards rarely. I guess it was Obie tgat said that but, once again, someone better informed can confirm that. |
Maybe 15 or so years ago Obie insinuated that this board is full of people who are never happy.

Jon may not read message boards or YT comments himself; but I'd bet my next paycheck that there are people in his organization or Azoff's - whoever is in charge of PR - who get their paychecks to do exactly that, and to keep Jon posted. It would just be stupid for them not to. It's free marketing feedback and the comments are more honest than what they could get from any focus group. You can track it over the promotion last fall, if you're interested. Note what was being said on the message boards about Jon's comments in one interview, and then compare it with how his statements were modified over the next interviews to reflect it. |

Everybody uses YouTube, right? Even the stars. Now, go to a fan board to check stuff, that I don't think he waste his time with - like you said, he has people on his payroll for that. |

I agree that it would be great if they gave Born to Be My Baby a rest. I would not miss Bad Medicine either, but I think it would be hard to drop that one and please the casual fans.
