For those going to the MSG shows
 

Since the shows are going to be filmed for a DVD, can you guys bring "PLAY BOBITA" signs? :)

I'd like to see that immortalized in a DVD. Thanks in advance.

Would it satisfy you if I just asked for BoB instead? Or maybe ITA? Or what if I had a sign for ITABOB?

Seriously though, while I realize that's neat, I'm hoping for the stuff they played in Europe instead.

The real name of the brigade is BOBITA brother! I'd like the band to be fully aware of the BOBITA brigade's existence.

I know the setlists in Europe were great and yes, it will be nice to get those as well. I mean, it's a 2 nighter, right? Assuming they play about 24 songs a night, and they will play the following hits in both nights:

1. Prayer
2. Bad Name
3. Wanted
4. Bad Medicine
5. It's My Life
6. Who Says You Can't Go Home
7. Have A Nice Day
8. Keep The Faith

They still have 48-8 = 40 different songs that they could play!
If they play 10 LH songs, that still leaves 30 songs!

I think:
LH
Prayer
Wanted
Medicine
Bad Name
BTMB
IML
Who Says
WGIGO
WLOL
KTF
HAND

That list will be played both nights IMO.
Hopefully the rest will change up.

You're forgetting the almighty Captain Crash!!!! ;)

What are you on? If you assume 24ish songs each night, you have to count those hits out of both nights, so that takes you down to 32 immediately anyway!

Looking at recent setlists anyway I'd assume the basic setlist each night to include...

Livin' On A Prayer
You Give Love A Bad Name
Lost Highway
Born To Be My Baby
Captain Crash And The Beauty Queen From Mars
I'll Sleep When I'm Dead
It's My Life
I'll Be There For You/These Days (Richie)
Have A Nice Day
Who Says You Can't Go Home
Keep The Faith
Bad Medicine ~ Shout
Wanted Dead Or Alive

So immediately you're looking at 13 songs, so that's 26 gone out of your possible 48, taking you down to 22. As you say they could do a further 2 or 3 new songs each night, taking it down to maybe 16 - but realistically the chance of getting 16 rare tracks is damn near impossible. I did a count on the shows that I went to over here (Manchester and both Twickenham) and found a basic set of 17 songs across each show, and then in Manchester we got 9 extra songs, then Twickenham 5 and 7. Of those extra songs there were a few good rarities - Diamond Ring, Dry County, Blood Money, I Believe - but a couple weren't so big, and in the US they don't seem to vary it so much. Obviously I hope that you do get good shows, but I think you're over-thinking it.

I can see ILTT being played at both

Yeah you're not over-thinking it at all :cool:

He's just putting things into perspective :cool:

I think he's over-perspecting a bit.
