Default Concert Thread - Pinnacle Arena, Lincoln, NE October 20, 2013

I'm back from the show and surprised there was no thread already. So I'll start one. This may have been my favorite concert of this tour - and it was a last minute decision to attend since I was just in Vegas last weekend. Jon had lots of energy and the crowd was GREAT. I think this was the first concert in the new Pinnacle Arena.

It was Bobby's birthday, in case anyone wants to celebrate, lol. I know how many on this forum feel about him, but my seat was right in front of him and he really did make an effort to interact with the audience. I got to see his orgasm face up close and personal - lucky me!

I got a set list so I'll post below. The only downer was the second encore - Always. I think it was the worst performance I've heard. I felt really bad for Jon. He was really struggling.

Soooo, here's what was played:

1. That's what the water made me
2. Bad Name
3. Runaway
4. Lost. Highway
5. Whole Lot of Leaving
6. It's My Life
7. Because We Can
8. What About Now
9. We Got it Going On
10. Keep the Faith
11. Amen
12. Someday I'll be Saturday Night
13. Diamond Ring
14. Memory
15. Born to be my Baby
16. Who Says You Can't Go Home
17. Sleep When I'm Dead
18. Bad Medicine
19. Wanted
20. Have a Nice Day
21. Living on a Prayer
22. Always

Thank you for the info. I am glad you had a great time.
But I think it's obvious things have never looked this bad regarding a current Bon Jovi tour. I mean, there hasn't been any discussion on the Lincoln show so far. If we Jovitalkers don't show interest, then why would anyone else do so? Bon Jovi has definitely seen better days.

My view is this - Bon Jovi have now left Europe (more importantly the UK!) - Im not interested what shows or what songs they play now.

The tours over for me.

I hope everyone else that goes has a good time but Im not interested now.

I don't think we ever missed a concert thread until the show before this one. We also missed this one until well after the concert ended.

I can't get very excited when the song selection is clearly been limited by Richie's absence.

Chances of a surprise are slim to none, so why bother?

Also, I watched the diamond ring footage. Nice to see a these days song included, but without Richie's guitar work, stage presence on the ramp and bluesy backing vocals.... It's unbearably inferior.

I don't feel bad for Jon. I felt bad for him in 1987 as there wasn't much he could do about that. Now, if he put the effort forth, he could do something about his voice.

I concur with you on this one. Onwards and upwards. Steel Panther next year. Bon Jovi is pretty much dead to me until there is a statement with a conclusive answer about Richie. Great that everyone else is enjoying the remaining shows.

He was really struggling. The only downer was the second encore I think it was the worst performance I've heard. I felt really bad for Jon.
