European intro predictions
 

What do you guys think the band will do in the form of an intro for the European leg of the tour. It's already been mentioned that the stage will resemble a car and the speakers being contained within headlights but as far as the intro goes do you think they will do anything special or unique?

Obviously last tour the intro was the same as the arena leg albeit with the main screen behind the stage due to being in a stadium but I don't think it will work this year if they keep the same intro as they are currently using as for me they will be coming on stage somewhere between 8:00 and 8:30 where most places the sun will still be up.

I will be surprised if they don't use the album cover as part of the intro - the walking out of it.

First I,ve heard of the "car" stage but bets are on theyll begin with Lost Highway if its true.:( Not much chance of the sun being anywhere in the UK in Summer btw.

I'd love I Believe to start the show, but I'd take Raise Your Hands again.

In regards to the stage, I think Hyde Park will just have the bog standard festival stage like HRC in 2011.

Just putting it out there...seen as the Hyde Park show is a festival I'd love to see Bruno Mars on the bill under Bon Jovi.

The most that things will change in Europe, IMO, is that they're going to play a few rare tracks per night. But the average setlist is going to be the same one. Maybe they'll take Memory or Amen and put Always, or take down a new song for a classic song, maybe bye bye to Whole Lot of Leavin' but not more than that.
Yes, last tour's setlist was great in Europe, but was basically the average 21 setlist of America + rare songs, raising the total number to 25-27 (there were some exceptions like Lisbon where they shaked up things a lot, but that wasn't in every show).
And yes, Lost Highway as an opener for Europe with that scenario seems logic. Or they might stick to YGLABN.

Yeah, Hyde Park has a special stage called The Oak Stage sort of moulded into some trees, so it won't be the same as the other shows. There are links to it if you find the websites for BST London which I can't link to on my phone

What is the world coming to?????????? :confused:

What is this car thing you are talking about? Have I missed out on something? :confused:

It's going to be this -
Trust me, I have inside info.

I don't see why not. He's better than run of the mill AOR rock bands we've had in the past. Live being a great example. IMO he produces good summertime music, and would get the crowd going. I imagine support won't be of Jon's choosing anyway as it's a festival.

Besides last time Jovi had a great rock band supporting, Biffy Clyro, the majority of fans crucified them for being different from the usual shit radio rock junk.
