[Captain Walrus]

Nobody done an official thread for this yet? Guess I might as well then!

This will be the third time that the band have played Hyde Park, the last being on the 25th of June 2011 headlining the Hard Rock Calling Festival, and the setlist was:

Raise Your Hands
You Give Love a Bad Name
Born to Be My Baby
We Weren't Born to Follow
Lost Highway
It's My Life
In These Arms
Blaze of Glory
Lay Your Hands on Me
Captain Crash & the Beauty Queen From Mars
Bad Medicine / Pretty Woman
Hallelujah
When We Were Beautiful
I'll Be There for You
Who Says You Can't Go Home
I'll Sleep When I'm Dead
Hey God
Have a Nice Day
Keep the Faith

Dry County
Wanted Dead or Alive
Someday I'll Be Saturday Night
Livin' on a Prayer

Always
These Days
Blood on Blood

I Love This Town

So, who is going? Predictions, thoughts?

This will be a pretty special show for me, as it will be my tenth time seeing the band, and also near enough the ten year anniversary of my first full Bon Jovi show, at the same venue in 2003. What with everything going on with the band at the moment, I've decided to approach this gig as if it were both my first time seeing the band, and also potentially the last. So I've spent way too much on GC tickets (at over double the price they were ten years ago!), and I plan to just do my utmost to enjoy every single song that they play, even the ridiculously overplayed and unnessecary ones (although I may have some difficulty during Lost Highway!) I know it's unlikely that there'll be any mega rarities, so I'll just take what I can (although hopefully it will be a setlist closer to the one in Slane than the Isle of Wight!)

2013 setlist:
Rockin' All Over the World
You Give Love a Bad Name
That's What the Water Made Me
Raise Your Hands
Born to Be My Baby
Lost Highway
It's My Life
Because We Can
What About Now
We Got It Goin' On
Keep the Faith
Someday I'll Be Saturday Night
In These Arms
Captain Crash & the Beauty Queen From Mars
We Weren't Born to Follow
Who Says You Can't Go Home
I'll Sleep When I'm Dead
Bad Medicine (With Pretty Woman and Roadhouse Blues)

Encore:
Dry County
Wanted Dead or Alive
Love's the Only Rule
Have a Nice Day
Livin' on a Prayer

Encore 2:
Always
These Days
Blood on Blood

Just seeing the setlist of Hyde Park 2 years ago made me realize what difference these live broadcasts were then and now. In 2011 I was over the moon, totally pumped and excited by the band's great show - yesterday I turned it off at some point. Like night and day :/

I'm looking forward to it.
Got Diamond Circle and all paid for by father-in-law for wife's 40th.

Ooh yay my tenth time too! Very excited Haven't been to a concert at Hyde Park before so curious as to what it'll be like. Still on a high from Villa Park and counting down the days! Could only afford GA after going DC in Birmingham - will seem like so far away from the stage! Also have a flight early the next morning so that will be interesting!

Hoping for a good set-list - Jon loves HP so prospects are good but once the concert starts I'm so easy to please that I'd be happy even if it was identical to Villa Park.

Damn, I was gonna start this Thread. Was giving it time lol

I can't wait for this Show. This will also be my 10th time seeing the Band. I know it won't be like 2011, but I still think this is gonna be a Great show

[ticos_stick]

This is the show Richie's coming back for, right?

I'm going on the day and trying to score cheaper than face value (assuming they don't groupon it to try and boost numbers in which case I'll buy prior).

I hope the numbers there are ok - i always feel a bias towards Bon Jovi concerts in London, I want them to play to a packed and energetic crowd.

Regardless of the bullsh*t going on - Jon does put on a very good show on his day and there are few better ways to spend a friday night than Bon Jovi, beer and a huge park.
