Compared to last time Bon Jovi played Dallas the band played a setlist containing fewer songs and just 3 different songs, which had all been last on the previous tour in 2013. Unlike 2013, no rare songs were played this time.

The last time Bon Jovi played here was a little over a year ago. Previous show's only surprise was Labor of Love. For a band who's visited Dallas on pretty much every tour they've shown the die hards not much love. The last time rarities were played in Dallas was 2013 with the inclusion of Last Man Standing and Always in the set.

Salaam Aleikum,

Holy shit, Seb - this is the first concert thread started by you since June 2013!

I'm hoping for a rarity or two (Always, maybe?), no matter how badly Jon will butcher them. Even Saturday Night (electric) would be ace - preferably with ad-libs and/or a speech á la Sao Paulo.

I'm expecting a normal set without any major surprises. I think that Blood On Blood and Memory might be played again though.

I hope they keep the momentum going from last night. Waking up to see blood on blood etc being played was nice. Jon needs to keep his vocal standards from the last couple of shows going. I'm holding out for Superman tonight replacing amen but I can't see it happening.

I actually hope they continue to play BWC at the beginning of shows and permanently dump Leavin', while BWC is by no means perfect it is more anthemic and doesn't stop the flow as badlly as Leavin'.

I still think that Diamond Ring might be played once on this leg of the tour. It's still doable for Jon and it can replace Amen in the set.

I agree with this. I would like to hear DR at least once this tour. Although I'm also still holding out for Superman, as it is the song that first sparked my interest in the band back in 2010

That's a pretty good suggestion, the acoustic Saturday night would also fit quite nicely. I'm hoping to see some stuff from These Days in the areas that have a more dedicated fan base.

Anyone know the set so far? Did they play BWC again or go back to Leavin'?

I heard both Whole lot of leaving and Because we can, now they are playing Keep The Faith, not jungle noises if you're interested >_< lol
