and yet, concerts in North America insist on having people sitting behind the stage facing the band's arses. I don't get it. I feel culturally limited. lol

In Argentina they don't sell those seats, neither the ones with "limited vision".

They should give old never played songs a chance like they did last time. But instead of 7800º songs, it'd be nice to hear 'ride cowboy ride' or '99 in the shade'. both these songs don't derive too much out of Jon's comfortable range and they'd both be a cool surprise that pretty much everyone who's there at the concert solely for the 80s albums would surely recognize. at least a good portion of people in their mid 30s - late 40s. But hell, we know it ain't gonna happen.
Wild In the streets should be a staple. it should become the opener for the second half of the tour IMO. but we both know what happens when he gets sick of opening with bad name: he'll put Lost Highway back there.

I agree, i think Jon is very aware of the state of his vocals and obviously designs the set list with that in mind. However there are other songs that they could play that are easier on this vocals. So instead of playing whole lot of leaving/lost highway maybe play Thorn or something less challenging just mix it up.

Show has started.

1. You Give Love A Bad Name

Sitting behind the stage in my opinion is better seats than across the stadium or arena. you get a new perspective, its way cheaper and its actually not a bad view.

I would never go to seats, to the field (stadium, I think is the word?) or nothing!

I on;y did seats at a stadium gig once at Hampden Park but actually it wasn't that bad at all. Great view and the atospherics with the sound rising up during I'll Be There For You with the whole crowd singing is one of my unforgettable moments from a Jovi show.

And now that I think about that...that's all I ask from a show, one song I've never heard, and just one of those moments burned in my memory.
