It's about time that they play (It's Hard) Letting You Go. I really don't see the point in soundchecking all those somewhat rare songs if they never play them anyway.

Philadelphia is in the Eastern time zone. That's GMT -5 hours. Daughtry should go on at 12:30 AM GMT, and Jovi about an hour later.

(And I'll vote for (It's Hard) Letting You Go, too! It really did sound good at soundcheck in Chicago. I was stunned when it dawned on me what I was hearing and that it was LIVE. I listen to the old stuff so much that it didn't seem odd to be hearing it . . . until I remembered where I was!)

its crap aint it, i remember the last couple of nights at the pru they were soundchekin in and out of love, i really thought they were goin to play it. Must of been 5-6 times they did was gutted mate they dint play it

If they were going to pull out those songs then it would have been at the Pru. A 10 gig run and the chance to play some rare stuff knowing that some fans would be back night after night. Missed opportunity I think. Instead the fans got:

Bounce
Living in sin
Blaze of glory
These days (Richie)
Stranger in this town (Richie)
Lay your hands on me
Joey
Last man standing
Bells of freedom
I'll be there for you

Now on the face of it they are all good inclusions but I think after a 10 night run that is a poor return to be honest. The fans would have gone crazy for 'Get ready' or 'In & out of love' or 'Silent night' or 'Edge of a broken heart' or 'Wild is the wind' or 'Homebound train' or 'If I was your mother' or ' Dry county' or 'Always' or 'Hey god' or 'Something for the pain' or 'Damned' or 'Real life' or 'Next 100 years' or 'Say it isn't so' or 'Neurotica' or 'One wild night' or 'Undivided' or 'Hook me up' etc, etc, etc.

There is no reason why they couldn't have mixed it up more.

Good choices but safe rather than exciting IMO.

alot of those songs people wouldn't know and be like "whats this?"

I'd be happy for its hard letting you go to make an appearance and for them to bring it over to europe for a couple of shows, maybe living in sin could make an appearence tonight.. only time will tell

It's Hard Letting You Go sounded great, I believe in South Africa. I believe that's the version I have. In America, few and far between would "get it".

I agree with you. Just mentioning that they also played Right Side Of Wrong at the Pru.

I'm craving a Lobster Pizza :mad:
