Though i agree that there are better songs, i got the girl was at least Something fresh and unexpected.
I think this was just a special outing because jon's daughter was there, so I guess there is nothing to argue About.

I can't stand I Got The Girl but am absolutely stoked it got played. Am I correct in thinking that it hasn't been played since 2011?

Hate the song but love that they played it, just because it's something different. If we get a few random songs chucked in each night I will be a very happy camper.

It really isn't that hard to turn an average set into something more. Why can't we have this:

1. This House Is Not for Sale
2. Living With The Ghost
3. You Give Love a Bad Name
4. Lost Highway
5. Just Older
6. Roller Coaster
7. We Weren't Born To Follow
8. I'll Sleep When I'm Dead
9. That's What The Water Made Me
10. Who Says You Can't Go Home
11. It's My Life
12. We Don't Run
13. God Bless This Mess
14. I'll Be There For You
15. Devil's In The Temple
16. Lay Your Hands On Me
17. In These Arms - David Bryan on vocals
18. Have a Nice Day
19. Bad Medicine
20. Livin' On A Prayer

21. Blood On Blood
22. Someday I'll Be Saturday Night
23. Wanted Dead or Alive
24. Keep The Faith

25. Never Say Goodbye - Acoustic

It needs to be fresh even if only a few changes.

I Got the Girl has actually grown on me a lot over the years, so I'm happy it got played.

So they've thrown in A different song and people still moan!

But agree that living with ghost needs to be played

Come on... I got the girl? Out of all the gems it isn't a killer song.

Not the best choice but i think that this perfomance sounds fresh and good.
The voice seems to be a little bit better.

I Got The Girl


Whether people like that song or not, that was fun!!!

At least they've mixed up with a rarity. Made up to see a change. Fan favourite or not, it's a big change!

I love this song and I'm glad they played it for the first time with Phil-X :)

Anyone noticed what David Bryan did at 4:20 in the video? Ahah :mrgreen:

Some people are easily pleased. I had enough of I got the girl on the Crush, OWN and Bounce tours.

I actually really like I Got the Girl so I'm stoked they played it lol

I thought Dave would have handled the "Ah, let 'em talk" line in Richie's absense. An ok performance.

Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

Just curious, but how long do you think should they go back for their rarities?

Looked like Jon was genuinely having fun with that one, especially the jump at the end. I've always liked the song live, but it's waaaay better when Richie adds "say Jon let em talk brotha" in a goofy voice.

Rashbaum spits all the time up there seen it many times. Maybe he was spitting on the set list...

OMG that was sooo cute!

The drinking game is back on whooo :D

A semi-rare song that I love, that has to be worth at least 5 shots!

Really really happy to see Jon enjoying himself

It still not so much about how far back but for me it's what songs they are bringing back. Two story town, next 100 years, just older, one wild night... these are songs I'd like in rotation from that time period. I got the girl is filler. Also go for Everyday, the distance, bounce, undivided.

Ok, thanks for the Quick answer. I See your point.

But on the other Hand, it's still quite rare if you See the more recent past, rarities have been scarce so far on that Tour, it sounded ok and jon looked like he was enjoying himself. Maybe Not Something for every night, but for now i'm quite Happy with it :)

It's all about taste.

If they did Two Story Town or Just Older there would be other user complaining about ;)

It's good to see that they pull out some other songs, some rare songs. And I Got The Girl is exactly the kind of song Jon is most capable of singing.

Except for the chorus unfortunately, unless he resorts to shouting some of the notes, as he's done in the 2nd chorus here. But yeah, considering the verses it's probably one of the easiest songs for him, much easier then when they recorded it, since it's sung so deep ;-)

And considerung the "let 'em talk" line - isn't that Jon on the studio recording and Richie just took the part live?

Totally agree... Jon's going to play songs that he could sing... I'd rather him sing something that sounds somewhat correct then him butchering some classic...

On a side note, maybe there was a reason for him playing that... Not to start any rumors but maybe his daughter got engaged or something!!!! Or maybe he just had that daughter moment because she was there... That was cool !!! Good for Jon... That one was for him and I'll give it to him...

Part of me believes that this song wasn't one of the 96 songs they rehearsed and this was thrown in last minute for a reason... Just Saying!!!

I like got the girl. It's a fun song. JBJ enjoyed himself and the band seemed happy to play it.

People moan about setlists then moan when set list is changed and then moan again when it's not a song they like.

Preach! I'm not a fan of the song, but I'm happy they added in somewhat of a rarity. Would've been a treat.

It looks like the encore opener is where we are going to get most surprises (Always, Labor of Love, I Got the Girl).

Yep. Even though i have to admit that i would have liked One of These better, or maybe even next 100 years.

It was a good show, and I had a great time. Started out kind of shaky. Not sure if something wasn't working with Phil's guitar at the beginning of THINFS, but Jon seemed to point and shrug his shoulders like "WTF?". It was good-natured, not a stink eye. And then after the first chorus, the screen went up less than halfway and stopped. Stuck. Jon actually had to duck under the curtain to get out to the front of the stage. Awkward start.

I really enjoyed all the new songs. A shame that people, even in the first few rows, sit down for this. Especially loved Scars On This Guitar. We Don't Run was fantastic. Awesome live song.

Jon's voice ain't what it used to be, and you can notice at the show, but it didn't prevent me from having a great time. I'm sure YouTube will prove me wrong, but he actually seemed to get stronger as the show went on. It's weird, sometimes he's missing notes and shouting, but other times it felt
Iike he nailed parts of Born To Be My Baby and Keep The Faith (or he was helped by playback).

I Got The Girl was a real surprise to open the encore, and a cute moment with his daughter. Jon seemed in a really good mood throughout, maybe because of family there ( and for Phil too). Thrilled that we got Saturday Night in the encore too.

This is just me probably reading way too much into things, but I always like at the end of shows where Jon says "We'll see you next time!" Last night he said "I hope to see you again." I would go see them if you get the chance.

Glad to hear you had a great time!

He used to say that in 2013 (at least near the end of the tour), too, in addition to that awkward "last one (show) in a long time" line. So, while I fear this might be the last tour (and I'll only get to see them *if* they decide to tour Europe next year), I wouldn't read too much into it at this point, considering Jon's talk about "rebirth of the band" and so on...

Stephanie was great. Especially if that was her big stage debut...

I Got The Girl was a cool moment, good for Jon! That's probably why he was in the mood to do Saturday Night.

Let's hope the encores bring more surprises like this and less stuff like BWC.

Yes, I am not a regular poster but have read the forum and know of the constant complaints.

But Wow! Complaints about "I've Got The Girl"??!! I thought it was very touching he did this song and loved hearing about kids growing up so fast. And then Stephanie, his precious daughter, joins him on stage? Priceless!!

She's going to be 24 years old soon. I think it's fantastic she was at the concert and Jon showed how much he loves her. This is why I love him. Not just the music, but who he is as a person, husband and a father.

I will remember that moment on stage a lot longer than hearing any "rare" song.

Crush was 17 years ago and I remember Jon dancing with Ava 15 years ago at Giants Stadium like it was yesterday... For him to bring his daughter up at age 24 is a really cool moment... and I hope he does it again in 10 years...

Here is Jon around 15 years ago..

Just thought you might find it amusing to know that a friend emailed me a bit ago to tell me that rumors on some of the fanboards say the reason Jon danced with Stephanie last night is because she's engaged.
:D

Somebody "saw it online somewhere" but my friend didn't know where or if it was true or not.

Seems like JT is still the place ppl go to for info, accurate or not. Apparently, they missed the "Not to start any rumors..." part! LOL

To add onto the rumor wheel, I think I heard it or read it somewhere that she was dating the guy who models Jon's clothing line... but I just don't care about that stuff so it was in one ear, out the other... If it wasn't for I Got The Girl, I wouldn't even be discussing it... but felt I had to defend Jon for playing it...

I was looking at Jon's face during the line, 'someone's gonna take her from me' and although he makes a slight face, it could mean anything...

Are you 100% sure you're not a woman?

By the way you respond to my posts, I think you might have a little obsession with me and wish I was!!! Are you sure you're not a homosexual, DickToc??? I mean TicDick???

Don't encourage them.

Any more childish insults and we'll be handing out bannings. Please grow up.

Tictoc has gone from one of my least favorite people on JT to one of my favorites. :D :D

That's off topic and considered 'childish behavior' and you should be banned!!!
