Setlists, Predictions, Videos, Disappointments, Complaints...

This is likely one of the most important shows of this leg of the tour. Bon Jovi was the last band to perform at the old Wembley stadium, and was going to be the first to perform at the newly constructed one during the HAND tour, but that plan was foiled due to construction of the stadium being delayed.

The last time Bon Jovi played in London (apart from the 2016 promo show at the palladium) was in Hyde Park on July 5, 2013, as part of the British Summer Time festival, during the Because We Can tour. The setlist was as follows:

01. Rockin' All Over the World [John Fogerty Cover]
02. You Give Love a Bad Name
03. That's What the Water Made Me
04. Raise Your Hands
05. Born to Be My Baby
06. Lost Highway
07. It's My Life
08. Because We Can
09. What About Now
10. We Got it Going on
11. Keep the Faith
12. Someday I'll Be Saturday Night
13. In These Arms
14. Captain Crash & the Beauty Queen From Mars
15. We Weren't Born to Follow
16. Who Says You Can't Go Home
17. I'll Sleep When I'm Dead
18. Bad Medicine [with Oh, Pretty Woman and Roadhouse Blues snippets]
-------------------------------------------------
19. Dry County
20. Wanted Dead or Alive
21. Love's the Only Rule
22. Have a Nice Day
23. Livin' on a Prayer
-------------------------------------------------
24. Always
25. These Days
26. Blood on Blood


Hopefully the band will pull out a few rarities at this show!

2019 Setlist:

I have a feeling that they'll be one surprise. Possibly London Calling or God Save The Queen.

As it gets closer, I’m disappointed I won’t be there. Haven’t been to a show since 2013 obviously and the last one I went to left a bad taste in my mouth. But, hardly any of the stuff they play interests me and they don’t change their set anymore. Add in Jon’s voice problems, no Richie and Shanks being there and I just can’t justify it.

Hope all those going have a cracking time and they put on a great show. Hopefully they mix things up and open with King Of The Mountain and end the show with Fields Of Fire.

Looking forward to this tomorrow! On my way down from Scotland now. Last time I saw them in London was Hyde Park 2011 and that was a awesome gig

Just to let you all know that the green man pub in Wembley are playing jovi songs before and after the concert.

Anyone know of any other good bars around the area that will be doing that sort of thing?

Ah, good old Hyde Park 2013. The show where Jon delivered his last honestly GOOD/great vocal performance on any song:

https://youtu.be/VNtLjw1DKsM

Even Always sounded very solid, and Phil's solo was truly spine-chilling:

https://youtu.be/B3w3IF4Kv9I

After looking through the vids on YT a bit more deeply, I also found a great version of Blood On Blood (which will unfortunately kill Jon's voice for good at Wembley in case they play it):

https://youtu.be/NDymruTn3KM

Jon's energy on Love's The Only Rule was absolutely immense:

https://youtu.be/12UwBK86rH0

And, of course, who could forget Dry County, with one of Phil's best solos to date?

https://youtu.be/9oeMxRZ2A9M

How I miss those days (prior to 2016-17, I never thought I'd say this)... compared to nowadays Jon could still sing quite well back then, the set lists were much better - just look at that Hyde Park encore, or Slane, Manchester, Birmingham, Prague, Milan, Madrid, the whole sets of Cologne and Bern, etc. -, FFS, even the crowds were better. Just look at the crowd on that Always video and you won't see many, if any, people holding out their cellphones (whereas nowadays pretty much the whole view of the audience in the video would probably consist of phones)...

That acoustic intro is absolutely awesome.

Are you by any means bipolar? You went to see a shit show this tour, said it was a great experience and then trash everything the band's ever done a day later by romancing the past to extreme measures so you can be sure whatever's going on now deserves no praise whatsoever.
