This kick starts very soon.

Don't think they've ever played Green Bay before, but here is 2011's Milwaukee setlist;

Lost Highway
We Weren't Born to Follow
You Give Love a Bad Name
Born to Be My Baby
Superman Tonight
It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)
(R.E.M. cover)
It's My Life
Runaway
The More Things Change
We Got It Goin' On
Bad Medicine
(with Hot Legs)
Lay Your Hands on Me
When We Were Beautiful
Bed of Roses
Can't Help Falling in Love
(Elvis Presley cover)
I'll Be There for You
Who Says You Can't Go Home
I'll Sleep When I'm Dead
Have a Nice Day
Keep the Faith

Encore:
Whole Lot of Leavin'
Wanted Dead or Alive
Blood on Blood
Livin' on a Prayer

Encore 2:
Someday I'll Be Saturday Night

Milwaukee 2011 was a solid show with Phil. The crowd practically willed a second encore out of the band (so loud that JBJ covered his ears).

Water
You Give Love A Bad Name
Raise Your Hands
Runaway
Radio Saved My Life Tonight
Lost Highway
Its My Life
Because We Can
What About Now
We've Got It Going On

Thanks, what's the source?

Would love to see Radio Saved My Life in Chicago tomorrow night.

I love radio!

Twitter. Here are the continued songs.

Keep The Faith
Amen
Someday I'll Be Saturday Night
DR (what's this
Make A Memory
Born To Be My Baby

Diamond ring I assume.

I don't really understand the love for this song.

It's a decent song, the live performances I've seen on Youtube don't sound so stellar. But for me, anything that's not bare-minimum-standard setlist will be somewhat of a bonus in my eyes. Especially being the 2nd night in a row tomorrow, I'm hoping Jon will throw a bone in there.

Finsl Setlist:

Water

Make a memory
Born To Be My Baby
We weren't born to follow

Prayer

Audibles: When we were beautiful
Work for the working man
Superman tonight

Good to see some changes in there, I would be happy if I got this set :-) looks like Jon might have revisited the circle, hopefully loves the only rule will show up again.

I love happy now ! Awesome ..... I also love radio , but not the lame live version with the chorus sung down an octive ..... Shame bout that . But nice change in set .

Happy Now and Radio... I wanted those two here in Argentina!

Ahh I'm quite fond of the live version with the chorus down an octive. Gives it a totally different vibe and its one of the few pre 00's songs that has been adapted well to Jon's post 00's voice!

Happy Now is a favorite of mine from The Circle so I love seeing that song make an appearance.

Glad to see some mix up in the set, just wish it would include a song or 2 more from WAN.

Please give me at least one of those two tonight in Chicago!

You know the setlists are horrible when a shitty rendition of a great song (Radio) and a mediocre-at-best 2000's album track (Happy Now) make people go nuts.

Haha right?

Happy, Radio and Blood, woulda loved any of those at the 6 shows I hit this tour. I'm sure Jon is fine tuning as many as he can so when he hits Australia the band can play them all in the 27-30 song sets he'll deliver.

Indeed. It's so weird seeing the board dead when BJ is touring. Those surprises wouldn't make my night.

Radio should never be played like this. It sucks everything out of the song.

But it's being played like this for almost ten years now, it's not like it's suddenly go back to being played the day it was recorded. I'd love to hear him attempt the original vocals with a faster tempo.

If you want to make it happen, you will find things that make a show "to die for" and the best of your life so far, like for some fans hearing Radio.... LOL

Let's face it, the epic shows are very few and very far between lately, those forking out the $$$ for pit tickets have to somehow justify the expense.:rolleyes:

I'm aware that it's the live version it's always been, I was refering to any rendition of the song, be it 2004 or 2013. I think it should've never been played, it' so boring live. There are so many better choices from the box set..

While I would love to hear it in the original vocals and a faster tempo, there is NO WAY that could happen, not even an attempt. You know it would be a disaster. Dem vocals man, dem vocals..

I hope you are right !

I get your point but honestly the reviews that I have seen have been great. All the comments have been best show, keeps on getting better. Someone on twitter said that it was his first Bon Jovi show and he loved it.

I see the opposite. But comments about the shows are few and far between. Most don't care now. And that is perhaps even worse than the sharp criticism.

But you are a Richie fan. I am sure that you are following all the Richie followers and none of them would be commenting on the shows now.

I follow a lot of Bon jovi fans and even they waste more time talking about Richie being gone and trying to find someone to blame instead of talking about the shows.
But I'm not only talking about them. I'm talking about the casual concert goers.

I couldn't care less what the casuals think, or what their opinion of Bon Jovi is. I want the opinions of people that know their subject, and I'd love it if Bon Jovi were to cater to those people instead of the casuals.

But many people will say it's great just because of the whole live experience. Concerts are fun. Seeing a band perform live is fun. Jon is great at engaging those with close enough seats to make eye contact. If he touches their hand, it's THE BEST SHOW EVER!!! But these shows are nowhere good enough or varied enough to see more than once this tour. I suspect anyone who says they are, are the ones who get the winks and hand slaps. They go back for more.

+1

But there are songs that are played at just about every show that weren't even released as singles. We Got It Going On, Captain Crash and I Love This Town are perfect examples. Casuals don't know these songs but Jon keeps playing them. Lost Highway and Whole Lot of Leaving didn't even chart, so casuals probably don't know these songs either. There's five songs right there that he could exchange for songs die hards would rather hear. The "they've got to play to the casuals" excuse doesn't really fly when unknown songs like these have become staples. Jon could sell the hell out of something more rare just as well as he's sold the hell out of We Got It Going On, but he doesn't bother.

I believe that Going on, Crash and Love this town are specially catered towards the casuals. They are easy to digest wave your hands songs. Jon knows what songs the diehards want, you can tell that by looking at the "good mood jon" gigs, where he plays the real stuff.

I think that Bon Jovi has reached a setlist that caters almost entirely to casuals, because during Bounce tour or before, you had the hits for the casuals but in order to complete the entire setlist you had to have some great songs that we want to hear. Later on easy to sing "party" songs like the ones you mentioned came along and Jon can skip the other songs altogether (I'm talking about LYHOM, WITS, BOG, etc).

On the other hand, I believe that Jon plays the lost highway crap because he likes it, and THAT I can respect.

I can respect that too but not on my dime!!
