The last time Bon Jovi played University Park was on February 9, 2011. The setlist contained no surprises.

The show was streamed live on the internet where many saw the band, and especially Richie, making mistake after mistake. Bootleggers classified it as one of the worst shows the band had ever done.

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 University Park:

My first show this tour and we splurged for the VIP (2nd row) as bday presents to my fiance and myself. I'm not hoping for a miracle setlist but I'd take the Pittsburgh setlist from Thursday night.

'This Is Our House'...

what happened at the show ? what were these nightmares ?

- richie had a cold and looks like he's under the influence which was probably true - he entered rehab a couple of months afterwards.
he's a bit sloppy on this one now that I'm listening to the whole thing

and jon sounded dreadful throughout. I have the answer to my own question then lol.

Ugh. I remember that show. Here's to hoping that tonight's show is way better.

I honestly think that that could happen.

I remember watching that webcast - that was awful. They even forgot the solo in Make A Memory.

Well I could be wrong but isn't this the venue that was temporarily renamed the 'Bon Jovi Arena' or something? Playing 'This Is Our House' would fit into that for them.

This Is Our House was performed once (well.. twice at one show) and probably will never be played again. This ain't exactly an "Open All Night" case where the song is "dear and close to Jons heart"

They renamed the venue to Bon Jovi Center, that's why they might play it.

That would make sense, but I hope it doesn't happen.

How on earth would that make sense?

Because is "Bon Jovi Center", it's their house. I hate the song, but it wouldn't be shocked if they played it.

Offtopic: Panda, please resize your signature image, is too big and it deforms the forum. Thanks.

That's probably why he did it, the little attentionseeker.

Is this better?


And shut yer hole, Thierry.

Wow, really mature.

I know you like to stir things up but PLEASE change it. Come on.

Only because you asked nicely.

My prediction for tonight, they'll break out Always and Just Older!

My prediction for tonight's curve ball... Blaze of Glory.

I hope you are right. They shouldn't be leaving such a good song out. Solo song or not, it's better than twenty-four songs currently in the set.

I honestly think that Blaze of Glory is not that great. I mean, I love the song but it's not Santa Fe.

I'd take Blaze Of Glory over Santa Fe live any day.

Then again, I've seen them both live and well... Blaze Of Glory goes over much better.

Yeah, Blaze of Glory sounds great live. I've never seen Santa Fe, though.

Even if they could perform Santa Fe like the album version, BOG would still be the better live song... But Santa Fe is in my top 5 favorite songs.

Yeah, might work live, but the studio version is not that mindblowing as everyone say. I could write a list of at least 50 songs I'd like to hear before Blaze of Glory :P

But I'd be a nice surprise and a good shake to the current setlist.

I remember 'Blaze Of Glory' going over really well at Twickenham, which by all accounts wasn't that great according to everyone here. I loved it as it was my first show though and I heard some great songs, regardless of whether they were rare. :)

I hope this is a decent show..I did not make the 5 hour drive based on how terrible this show was last tour lol!!

I hope you'll get a good one Deb!

Look at it this way. They might want to give a better show based on that. They probably won't remember, but who knows? :p

That's what I'm hoping, plus, the last tour this was the first show of the leg...there has to be improvement.

Plus it's State Patty's Day at Penn State. Great fun :D

Fingers crossed its an awesome show for u guys ! They could play a 5 minute show of Army of one and i would be satisfied !

Would you though?

I honestly cannot tell if you're joking or not.

I guess im sorta joking , but im obsessed with that song right now .... My luck is they will drop it by the time they get down here . Lol

My predictions for tonight:

-Blood On Blood;
-Bed Of Roses;
-Diamond Ring;
-Dry County and
-It's My Life (just to hit one at least :D)

Looks like the show has started
