They didn't play Always and I'll Be There For You (Always was their wedding song).

Jon's vocals were very weak at times.

They still put on a good show for the casuals. But as a diehard, I honestly don't have any interest in paying to see them this tour, even though I love the album.
I understand not doing Always most of the time (given how it sounded in LA, I'll never complain about it not being played ever again), but I don't get not doing I'll Be There For You. It's a much much easier song to sing, he sounded OK-ish that one time he played it in a fanclub gig (and still very decent in 2013). It will obviously be tough, but I can't see it sounding worse than Bad Medicine or HAND, for example.

Without that signature Bon Jovi ballad the set just drags.

I think one of the reasons that Jon avoids certain songs, apart from vocal reasons, is that Richie's harmonies are missing. IIRC, during a Q&A last tour, he said he won't do Miss 4th of July unless Richie came back. I do not think he said that just because he lacked the original guitarist.

Good to see a few changes. Not the changes we wanted but at least it's mixed up a bit.

Shame that 'Devils In The Temple' got dropped.

I don't buy it. First of all, Richie's vocals are much more missing in Wanted, and secondly (more importantly), IBTFY was played plenty of times since Richie left. I don't see why this would be an issue when it wasn't in 2013.

May I ask how old your brother is? I just don't get people going to a concert, paying a lot of money for it, and not having listened to the songs before, not even those that are already 9-17 years old like LH, Crash, etc.?

I think this user is fabricating a story to prove a point... Just my opinion....

He posted that update about his brother being dissapointed seconds (I saw the post come through) after the show ended...
