Best Setlist Ever?
 

I posted a torrent for a show on another website where that is appropriate behavior. It was for January 10th, 1990 the first Bon Jovi charity concert.
It has a setlist of 25 songs with 14 covers, 1 unreleased song it was the last time Bon Jovi ever played several bj songs and it has Jimmy page as a guest star.
A couple of people took great umbrage at my contention that this is the best setlist ever.
I figure this place has a lot wider variety of Bon Jovi fans, so What Is The Best Bon Jovi Setlist ever played?
Peace

That's got to be one of the best ever, no doubt about it.

I think you have to take into consideration the tour period too. The These Days shows, especially those in 1996 had some great set lists. The Japanese shows in 1991 were great given the much smaller catalogue they were pulling from. The Christmas shows usually had great sets. St. Louis in 2000 was one of the best sets I've seen (given that it was the Crush tour and you got stuck with songs like Thank You for Loving Me anyway). I think Montreal 12-93 stands out as a great show. (I do hope I really mean Montreal and my recent insomnia isn't affecting my memory. ;) Eh, some Canadian show in 12-93).

The last Giants show will go down in Bon Jovi history.

Some of the radio promos shows they did for KTF were incredible: 40 Principales in Spain, for instance. Evening With had a great set.

I look forward to Thierry's comment. I think he knows every instance of a rare or special song by heart.

Well it's hard to name one... let's say that whole These Days -tour. Awesome set lists there... Lie To Me, Something To Believe In, This Ain't A Love Song, My Guitar, Letting You go.... practically every song from TD-album.

Gotta be Helsinki, TD tour....

Yeah I was thinking that too... it is a shame that the house was just half full then... my parents were there though...

I thought the comment about the setlists on dime was kind of strange Paragon - but there are lots of people who love to argue at the drop of a hat.

I'd have to go with Helsinki 96 as another concert right up there. I noticed that you said you would share it - I'll bet the sound on yours is better than the sound on mine LOL.

Red Bank 94 and 95 Christmas shows were particularly good.

And I agree with Becky about Giants 2006 as being right up there.

Im gonna repeat what you guys have said:

- London 1990
- Helsinki 1996
- Dublin 2001
- Munich 2003
- Kiel 2003
- Giants Night 3 2006

Giants night 3 - great choice, a cousin was there and he thought it rocked

Now, I'm not saying that it's the best setlist ever but MK night 2 (June 11) felt just right the was a great flow from song to song. Even Everyday sounded great.

Hey, for a comparatively new fan, can somebody post some of the setlists you guys are talking about? Thanks!
