Good Variety in Set Lists
 

I've read so many posts that the set lists do not have a lot of variety, but I looked at the last 20 shows and this is what I saw:

This is the core set list (21 songs) -- at least 85% of the shows:

Bounce 100%
You Give Love a Bad Name 100%
Wild in the Streets 95%
Livin' on a Prayer 100%
Everyday 100%
Undivided 100%
Runaway 100%
Just Older 100%
Wanted Dead or Alive 100%
The Distance 95%
It's My Life 100%
Misunderstood 100%
Right Side of Wrong 85%
I'll Be There for You 100%
Hook Me Up 90%
Raise Your Hands 100%
Someday I'll be Saturday Night 100%
'll Sleep when I'm Dead 95%
Born to by my Baby 100%
Bad Medicine 100%
Shout 85%

Here's the variety--18 other songs:

Twist and Shout 50%
Keep the Faith 45%
Rock & Roll Music 30%
Blaze of Glory 25%
Captain Crash & The Beauty Queen 25%
In These Arms 25%
Eve of Destruction 20%
Blood on Blood 20%
Always 20%
Bed of Roses 15%
Joey 15%
My Funny Valentine 15%
I Got the Girl 10%
Damned 10%
Heroes 10%
Diamond Ring 5%
These Days 5%
Never Say Goodbye 5%

I think with current world affairs, Keep the Faith will now become part of the core.

Could you imagine a concert where they would perform all of these?! That would be 39 songs!

Can't wait until April 3rd in Denver!

At every show, the first 12 songs of the main set have been exactly the same. At every show, the last 5 songs of the main set have been exactly the same. That leaves 1 or 2 songs in the middle, which they actually do switch around occasionally. The encores are usually just whatever songs they played in the middle of the main set the night before plus an inevitable annoying cover.
I was lucky to hear These Days a few weeks ago which was awesome but overall, no, there is not a lot of variety in recent setlists.

nope, not much at all

I definitely think they need more variety in their setlists. I did get lucky in Tampa though with the encore. Blaze, Blood on Blood and Never Say Goodbye. So, I really can't complain.

alot of bands dont change the setlists at all.

Variety is always good, not saying that. I don't have such a big problem with the set lists, but the encores aren't worth ending a concert to. Bon Jovi has so many amazing songs to end concerts with, let's see them in the set lists.

I think that the set list will change a bit when they come to Europe, tho.

Aloha !

No of course not, and everyone of know my opinion about that, but I really wonder who voted yes...That person must be completely blind.

They played 26 (?) songs in Yokohama acoustic and some of the songs were played only there. So if we take it and the other Japan concerts away I think the list will look pretty different. I was surprised when the Japan setlists were so a) long b) different c) just great, but the setlists in America don't seem nearly as good.

You forgot I Believe.... Oh, and has Raise Your Hands really been played at every show??? I think there was a couple times where it hasn't.. maybe I am wrong.... And if they play Joey, usually they won't play Hook Me Up...

BOUNCE,

Without a doubt, there needs to be more variety in the set-lists. Period. :roll:
