It's possible it was from early in the writing sessions and he didn't make the trip to the east coast, it could still make sense. I for one never took the song never to be ABOUT Richie. I think I treasure the lyrics too much to think about Jon having premonitions or whatever.

This replacement is criminal.

Ewww. Guess it's going to be hard to hear anything other than Always as the encore opener, but BWC? Really?

That's it?

I hate to be negative but that setlist was terrible. We lost Saturday Night & Blood On Blood and didn't get any new songs. Half of the songs in the set should be dropped (pretty much everything from LH to WSYCGH should stop being played at every show). Why doesn't Jon realise that they can still play these songs, but not all of them at every show. They're not hits, they're not deep cuts. They don't get the crowd excited, they don't promote the new album. They honestly serve no purpose. I saw Bruce in concert for the first time last night and it made me realise how awful this set is. There's no improvisation, no spontaneity, no surprise. You can go a Bon Jovi show and predict just about every song that's going to be played... and in what order.

They need a major revamp in the way they approach their sets, with only a few songs (Prayer, Wanted, Bad Name, Bad Medicine) being played at every show and ALL of the other songs should be rotated.

Except that I think both Jon and Richie have gone on record saying that it's about Richie; but I'd have to check. I've slept since then. But I didn't get the impression that it had anything to do with premonitions. :)

What does being from the early sessions have to do Richie not making the trip... I'm sleepy and may be missing something here.

WTF ???
I'm speechless. Really ...

I wonder that nobody's celebrating that Work For The Working Man is dropped :-D

I was distracted by the other garbage songs in the set (Sleep, BWC, and Who Says primarily) but happy that Working Man has been dropped, at least tonight
