The last time Bon Jovi played Lubbock was April 15, 1989. The setlist contained no surprises, though back in those days I doubt anyone knew what was coming next. The closest they got to Lubbock ever since was when playing Oklahoma City, Dallas or Austin though, but that's still 350 miles away from Lubbock so for most in the audience this will be their first show.

A graph 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.

Interesting, they still regularly play 8 of the 15 songs from that 1989 tour.

Yeah because they were all pretty much #1 singles.

So no PBP tonight? It's the last show of the leg, so they could get something special.

I have to go early tonight with class in the morning but I'll be around for a bit.. Per Serpephone show has begun... Bad name, RYH, LH

BWC and Water were the next two

Its My Life next well at least I think so, shes not tweeting a true pbp just posting pics with the song titles, she skipped BN and BWC but I assume those were played in the normal slots

What About Now up next, again I'm not sure if I am missing songs. Someone want to make this into a list for us?

I think she WILL post is something special happens :)

1. You Give Love A Bad Name
2. Raise Your Hands
3. Lost Highway
4. Because We Can
5. That's What the Water Made Me
6. It's My Life
7. (Probably another song here)
8. What About Now
9. We Got it Goin' on

This look right?
There may have been 2 songs between IML and WAN. There was a 10 minute gap between tweets. Probably some combo of Saturday Night/WWWB/Superman.

Yes that looks right, I'm following Serpephone on twitter, but I have to go, school in the morning. Here's to a good rest of the show!

8. (probably another some song)
9. What About Now
10. We Got it Goin' on
11. Keep The Faith
12. Bed Of Roses
13. I'll Be There For You (Richie on Vox)
14. Some song (probably WWWBTF)
15. Some Song?
16. I'll Sleep When I'm Dad

She has an awesome seat, so I can't blame her for not twitting everything!

she said only 2 songs on the catwalk but Jon let Richie sing I'll be there for You and she recorded it (maybe it was full, maybe it was part of it, but it was different - I THINK though it was just Richie singing so Jon left the catwalk ?)

Thanks for finding that. So was IBTFY not done on the catwalk? It's good to see MAM finally out of the encore.

It looks like a vanilla The Circle set with some What About Now songs.

Not sure if there's an encore break there, just guessing.

Serpephone says Jon almost fell off the stage during BM, but he is ok & joked about it. She recorded it.

Well, if Lubbock is going to get as many songs as other cities, there is potential for something different.

I really don't see more 5 songs...maybe two.

And there you have it . . .

Omfgssdvsjhassakj, Yes!

Am i going crazy or did i just see DC posted? Awesome if true!!!!

Or TwinFan ****ing with us.

:eating: .

Only 22 songs? How lame. This is probably the worst show of the leg setlist wise. I wonder if Jon had a sore throat or something? Would that explain Richie singing a song and only 22 songs?

Encore 2:


Fast Cars :eating:

ha ha.. he had me. I got pretty excited for the people of Lubbock.

So pretty similar set as last night, just slightly different order and without:

WWWB, Amen, Always, ILTT.. .only 3 songs from WAN.

No no no... This is a much better set than the first 7 or 8 shows. No Crash, No Love This Town, no 8 freaking new songs... it's good. Rather short than filled with filler.

So, Amen will be the next single and Jon don't even play it live? Lame. Start playing I'm With You already and release it, as it was intended.

Oh gosh, I hope not.

Well, I'm With You is at least better than Amen, with is only a Hallelujah rip off.

Agreed, I would like them to play more new songs.

Agreed. Even if I don't like Army of One, I feel like he should play as much new songs as in the start of the tour, just rotating Amen and The Fighter in the ballad spot. What's Left of Me is a good song, I miss it.

I agree to an extent. I like WLOM on the album... it's middle of the road for the new album IMO. But if they play Saturday Night and Lost Highway it might be a little much. I don't know... On paper I thought Amen, BOR, and IBTFY back to back was a bad idea and I'll gladly admit I was wrong.

The two I really want are I'm With You and Thick as Thieves -as long as they don't make the Make a Memory mistake and keep it from building to a powerful song. I would also take Beautiful World or Pictures of You over WAN any day.
