Make a setlist!

Aloha !

Wouldn't work. You can't play a ballad right after one first rock track. Hook Me Up might sound heavy, the rhythm of the song is quitte slow compared to other rock tracks. And the last 3 songs before the first encore should be famous hits. Something like Sat. Night, In These Arms and IML.0 For ther rest it's quitte good, but what exactly do you mean with Damned/My Guitar Lies Bleeding and Captain Crash/Next 100 Years ?

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

a "dream" set list doesn't have to follow the usual pattern! its just a dream, they won't play it anyway.

Aloha !

Yes, but when you're at a gig and you've noticed that a ballad right after the opener won't work you'll think it's stupid. So why make a dream setlist that doesn't work ? If the order from the songs would've been different the setlist would be good.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

I wouldn't. I love bands that do things differently..... Best opener I've ever seen was Yes, who opened with a 25 min version of CLose to the Edge! Simply breathtaking, but wouldn't fit your usual rock concert format....

True more often than not a band woudln't do it, and it would sound different, and in this case, I'd sooner Bon Jovi didn't..... But then if they played Livin in Sin as song number two, I'd be a very happy bunny!

Plus last songs only 'have' to be hit's if you're playing to a crowd who aren't really familiar with your work..... My dream Bon Jovi gig is in the Manchester Apollo (3,000), so they could play what the hell they liked, because more or less everybody there would know even the demo's, and would want to hear the rare songs more!

I would enjoy if in Barcelona they perform this...(it´s a dream :roll: )

1. Lay your hands on me
2. Hook me up
3. The distance
4. Wanted dead or alive
5. Just older
6. This ain´t a love song
7. Undivided
8. Bounce
9. Runaway
10. Everyday
11. Livin´ on a prayer (people screaming and then....
12. It´s my life (Top moment of the concert: Livin + It´s my life)
13. These Days
14. Dry county (I would die in this moment :roll: )
15. I´ll be there for you
16. Blood on blood

1st encore:

17. Hey God
18. Next 100 years
19. Angel (cover Aerosmith)
20. Keep the faith

2nd encore:

21. Always
22. My guitar lies bleeding in my arms
23. Never say goodbye

Bon Jovi set list for Wolverhampton Limelight club.. (aprox 500)

finish

Bon Jovi come on at 9, and do 3.5 hours of requests, and actually play them! i.e no set list, they improvise the whole thing.....

that would be the best, no doubt. just like Hall and Oates did a few weeks ago on A&E. they took calls and stuff and played whatever was requested for the entire show. i don't even like Hall and Oates, but it was a good idea and took some guts.
