I guess Becky will confirm whether or not BWC was performed after the show

I think they need to drop it. They are sounding like a bad cover band. They are already playing THINFS and GBTM which are essentially carbon copies and while HAND is the best song out of the three, it sounds the worst.

I like the outro in God bless >_<

Encore:
Blood On Blood

Blood on blood!!!

woo blood on blood with the acoustic intro...always loved that

me too!! -_-

I know right! So nice hearing it again! And Jon sounds quite good on it as well!

I heard it in Porto Alegre!!!

i lost my feed, any other links? -_-

Memory! Nice encore!

Now MAM... wow I hope he's saving me something for tomorrow night

JBJ is playing the audibles from last show (Memory, Superman and Blood On Blood)
We'll see if he plays Superman

still have no idea why he wont play IBTFY anymore...amen needs to gooooooo

I like Amen U_U

Wanted Dead Or Alive

Wanted Now

Livin' On A Prayer

good night!

Same...It would definitely be nice hearing it again!

mystery resolved, Lost Highway was before Because We Can: https://www.instagram.com/p/BgxXT_ZlUeB/

They missed the opportunity to play Queen Of New Orleans. Oh well, at least Blood On Blood is back!

What possibly made you think that was going to happen?

Since its such an easy song to sing, I thought it might make a surprise appearance. :)

Jon has never performed a DA song at any full band show. The only JBJ solo song I can see us getting this leg is Blaze, since he previously said it has been rehearsed.

What a nightmare...
No WLOL then I hope.

Because it's a Richie song?

Glad you got Memory (and Blood on Blood) Becky :) Hope you had a great night.

IML from last night. Jon sounds decent and is moving around and working the crowd, I'm happy with this version.

It’s 2:30 AM and I’m on the way home (not driving). The only thing I’m going to say about the show at this moment is that Jon was absolutely the happiest I have seen him in a LONG time. He was beaming and bursting with energy. It really made me happy to see him this way again.

And I got the meet Deb and she’s such a sweet gal!

To get it a bit organised around here ;)

Has Jon completely ditched the playback on the "Living on a prayer" before the solo? If so, that's a pretty big move.

It seems like he has ditched the playback before the solo but in my opinion he needs it back, because he sounds terrible on that part before the solo.

Glad you enjoyed the show Becky - my first is coming right up :)

Awww thanks Becky! It was so good to finally meet you after all these years!

I really enjoyed the show. I had good friends surrounding me and we sang and danced so that trumps any imperfections regarding vocals or set list! Loved hearing Blood and Memory. John Shanks seemed unusually energetic! Phil is amazing and I’m the girl that loves the addition of Everett. I have to agree with Becky in that Jon seems much more relaxed and in the moment which is great to see. I thought it was funny when Jon took Shank’s guitar from him on Sleep.

I'm the guy that loves his addition. He's been part of the family for quite some time now.

I really like Everett being with the band especially how he seems to be really happy performing and being there.

Count me as member three of this group. He has been around since The Big Dogs that I know of and he is a most dynamic member.

I had a fantastic time and enjoyed everything. I was even HAPPY when they played WEBTF because I wanted to sit down for a few minutes. (I need to have surgery for plantar fasciitis—standing on concrete for 2 1/2 hours is brutal.) I had a great view of the stage. I enjoyed the set list. I even enjoyed Amen, which is a song I never cared much for. They played until 10:54 and I swear Jon loked like he wanted to keep playing, but curfew is 11:00.

I talked to Obie and introduced Sandra as a NEW fan. I told him she became a fan with This House. He asked where had she been. She looked like she didn’t know what to say, so I said, “She’s been teaching, raising kids, stuff like that.” He said that would suck the life right out of you and we agreed. He asked who else had she seen in concert and she said no one. He said the Beatles were the greatest band ever and I told him he was being sacrilegious because Bon Jovi is the greatest band ever. Fun moment.

On the way out, I heard two older guys talking. One said, “This has to be at the top.” The other said they were “even better than Simon & Garfunkel because they played much longer.” Other people were commenting on how long the show was. I didn’t hear any complaints except about the merchandise prices.

Security was good, the crowd was good. One drunk woman fell flat on her face by the aisle in front of me during Make a Memory. Other people helped her. I was annoyed she went splat during a song I really wanted to hear. I just don’t understand why people go to concerts and get drunk.

I wondered if most of the audience had been like me, a teenager or maybe in their 20’s at their first Bon Jovi show.

Most people were sitting while the band played the extended solos while Jon left the stage. I wanted ask them all, “Do you have no soul? This sounds incredible!!!”

I’d go to every show if I could. Alas, I work for the school system in Mississippi so I’m po’.

How would you compare the show in New Orleans 2018 to the other shows of Bon Jovi you have went to (Before 2013).
