2 graphs showcasing the order of album and single tracks. A peak indicates the chart position in the Billboard Hot 100, thus a crowd possibly knowing such a song. The more peaks, the more familiar a crowd is with the entire set. In case no peak is noted the song either didn't chart or wasn't released as a single.

The first graph is of this show, the second one is of the previous time Bon Jovi played Washington:

Well, let's just hope they can get there.

I really hope they make it to DC. I see they had to cancel the CT show tonight, so I'm wondering if they'll be able to fly out safely. Anyone think they might have to cancel, or will the show go on?

DC is their bad luck city so if anywhere is likely to get canceled it's there!

Keep the new songs from yesterday but do everything else differently!

CANCELLED !!!!!!!!






























:twisted:

Are they going to stream tonights show?

nope they are trying to do the stream soon...

Took me about 1 1/2 hour longer to get back home to NJ from Mohegan Sun and that was leaving at 7:30 am. Lots of I-95 still completely snow packed until you get to the NY state line. So with them leaving at probably around 12 to 1 a.m. or so last night they should be there.

And then you say my jokes are lame......

not necessarily lame. more like repetitive.

You know what definitely is NOT lame and repetitive?

These Days.

Did someone just mention These Days?

Ah, let me tell you a thing or two about These Days......

lol. and yet another one.

Am I right that the show starts in about 3 hours and 30 minutes ? I'm a total sucker when it comes to time differences... !

Should start about then yes. I't is 5:17 p.m. NYC time now.

I'll seed the list:
- Jon's on autopilot
- Richie looks bored
- Too much Lost Highway
- Too many/not enough new songs
- Richie's too low in the mix
- Richie messed up, Jon gave him the stink eye, and now won't look at him

What did I miss? ;)

The band should be on stage between 1am and 2am UK time.

why is everyone always this negative ? on the other hand, if something 'out of the usual' everyone cheers and regards them as heroes.. until they do a vanilla show again. Look, Jon said it himself (to a portuguese newspaper a few days ago): european crowds sing along to the entire songs, americans only sing the choruses. 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 whole point in Captmorgs post.

I think Captmorgs was taking the piss by predicting all the negative comments that are going to happen from people who aren't even at the show. I thought his post was amusing because he's dead on. Just add that "Jon sounds like shit and can't hit the high notes" and the entire future of the thread is covered. ;)

Aloha !

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.

I think the show will start anytime between now and the next half hour.

Isn't the show supposed to start at 8:30 pm Washington DC time ?? It's 7:30 pm. there now ...

So...one 1/2 hour to the show right?

It´s sold out?

Is there an opening act this tour? If so, 7:30 is when they would go on.

I'm hoping for no opening act. I LOVED IT that time I saw them in Atlanta with no opening act. Every show should be like that IMO.

TheRealSambora: Have a great show tonight! With you guys in spirit! Tear the house down tonight!!!

Usually when there is an opening act, they go on stage a little earlier, so my guess would be that there is not ...

There is no opening act for the tour, or at least thats what Matt said....

From what I understand, NO opening act for the arena shows in the US.

no, I got the sarcasm, I was only re-enforcing the idea of general negativity on this board !

Is that a tweet from Richie?
Sounds almost like he isn't there to play :D

Yes, that's what I thought ! Strange !!

Prediction for tonight...Not all of the new songs that have been played so far will be in the set, maybe only 4-5 of them. Bad Name will not open the show. BTBMB and Bad Medicine will be played. I know these arent typical predictions but theyre my expectations for the tour opener!

LH song for No1
followed by LH song for No2....

you get where i'm going here don't ya?

Umm. seems pretty predictable to me?

Please please , no Lost Highway and WLOL as songs number 2 and 3 ...

White mic stand on stage, here we go !

I meant theyre not typical such as prediction what songs we have a hunch they will play. I meant this as more of an expectation of what will happen, not as a prediction like saying In These Arms or Hey God are what i hope they'll play tonight, sorry for not being clear
