If I witnessed Novocaine, Blood On Blood and I Won't Back Down all in the same night, on top of a solid set (IMO), I'd be pretty happy with that. :)

BTW, anyone who has seen I Won't Back Down live on this tour so far, how good has it sounded? If it's similar to the original, that would be a cool addition to the European tour. Well, I am hoping, anyhow.

I Won't Back Down is OK. They only play a verse of it, and it's acoustic. Nothing special.

Kind of a short setlist for a Jersey show.

26 songs is pretty long when you take into account Jon's back.

Bounce back, BOB back and no Just Older: Nice :D!

The coversongs out there together with CC, Sleep, replace Welcome with I wanne ba loved and away with the coverssongs. Then add some other songs and there back in business :D!

I'm anxious to see which songs they do as a third acoustic song the 3rd night. They always switch Always and BOR during two nights, so I wonder which song the'll play the third night.

What, no more Radio?

Radio will be played the second show I think :).
