SETLIST, PHOTOS, REVIEWS, YOUTUBE LINKS... here we go
Will the band suprise us with something rare and new ?

Would Jon attempt Living in Sin this time? Then again, my prediction on them playing Always at Denver was off.

Probably the first time I follow a tour like if I am a band member but from the internet.

Me too. That's the 2nd leg of the tour I follow consistently after the South American one.

Hopefully! And please play it on acoustic version. The absence of Richie's harmonies will make the electric version sound odd.

Why do you mean the harmonies would sound different if it's acoustic or electric? When Jon did it acoustic on his Runaway trip the harmonies sounded fantastic and I'm sure Everett and Dave can recreate something similar.

Unfortunately for you it's not such an exciting time setlists-wise...

In the good ol' days places like this went nuts during the tour... especially during the European dates...

I remember my first tour following PBPs was Lost Highway, in those summer nights in Europe (10 years ago already, f*** me!) you could really feel the excitement even sitting at home in front of your PC

There was no mobile internet, no smartphones, no Twitter, no Instagram... people used to send SMS to someone which would post on the board

You really had the feeling they could pull off something special and rare every night... when someone called "lyric sheet has been placed on the stage" you started wondering which rare gem was about to being played

Ah, how times have changed!

Not that much interesting setlist wise as you said.
The reason I follow this tour is to see Jon's stage presence improvements, how he performs, etc.

The last Little Rock show back in October 2013 got a cover of the Conway Twitty song It's Only Make Believe (one hell of a rendition, btw) followed by acoustic Saturday Night. The band also performed I'll Be There For You as the first encore:

And man, I miss the Jukebox section on Sleep - FOUR covers this time around!

PS. Now that I really paid attention on watching these videos, Jon was still sounding miles better then than nowadays...

I've been following the tours consistently on setlist.fm and YouTube since the beginning of the Circle tour, but the 2015 Asian run was the first one I read the Jovitalk PBPs of. Also, Jakarta '15 was probably the first time I realized that Jon had no high range anymore whatsoever.

Within the first couple of gigs after the July '13 US leg of the BWC tour had started, I had stopped following the shows (I couldn't resist seeing the same set repeated every night - I finally had to get used to it last spring) and - from today's perspective, fortunately - wasn't aware of Jon having completely lost his voice within the time that had passed between; I had even spared myself from watching the Brisbane webcast (which I, after having read the original PBP from here after the Asian tour ended, ultimately wasn't brave enough to do until early 2016)... :D

I still remember watching IML and Prayer from the Jakarta show and thinking: "Holy f*ck, what has happened to his voice?"

That high part before the Prayer solo about made me want to throw up back then. That said, I honestly enjoyed KTF from Tel Aviv:
