Lost Highway was a huge hit in the US and so gets played a lot. the usual 80s hits get played because everyone sings along to the chourses. as for the 90s, no, they won't play an awful lot of songs off KTP or TD. the later is considered 'too dark' for most soccer moms anyway. the majority of people on those US shows are completely blown away and have little to say about the show. that does it for the band. Jon knows he'll have to put on a little extra effort in Europe. I know it's a shame that the setlists seem to be purely based on statistics. e.g.: how many millions did These Days sell here ? How many people hail Lost Highway as our masterpiece there ? - you've seen it on the when we were beautiful documentary. so stop the complaining, it's not gonna change. what do you care anyway (unless you actually GO to the show?) most people here live either in the UK or somewhere in Europe. YOu'll get better set lists so what's your concern ? You'll have no 'Hey God' to watch the following morning on youtube so you can complain about Jon not hitting the high notes ?

You missed the sarcasm of the guy. He was being sarcastic about what he considers too much negativity on the board about the performances.
The thing I often wonder is how much of the stuff people complain about on here is picked up by the people that deem the people who complain too negative?
Yes, I reckon you had to read that sentence a few times, but I hope you get the point. Often those who start bitching about others being too negative rarely pick up on a stink eye from Jon themselves as they are too caught up with the show itself. Which is fine. Just don't get too wound up if someone else mentions it. Just because you missed it doesn't mean it isn't there.
It's not the negativity in regards to Bon Jovi that should stop on here. After all, it's just critisism voiced by a fan. It's negativity and bitching about users here that has to stop.
Salaam Aleikum,
