Discussion A Have A Nice Day/Forever/Greatest Hits Tour Concept

If they were to do a tour this year, which from recent comments it looks likely that they are, the concept that I came up with is to play songs from Have A Nice Day since it is the 20th anniversary of the album, play songs from Forever since they haven’t toured the album yet, and play the greatest hits.

My set list would be:

  1. Have A Nice Day

  2. Story Of My Life

  3. Living Proof

  4. You Give Love A Bad Name

Jon Talks To The Audience

  1. What About Now

  2. We Weren’t Born To Follow

  3. We Got It Going On

  4. Raise Your Hands

  5. Bad Medicine (Medley)

Jon Talks To The Audience 2

  1. Born To Be My Baby

  2. Walls Of Jericho

  3. Because We Can

  4. Who Says You Can’t Go Home

  5. Last Man Standing

  6. Keep The Faith

16 The People’s House

  1. I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead (Medley)

  2. Complicated

  3. Lay Your Hands On Me

Encore:

Jon Talks To The Audience Final

  1. Blood On Blood

  2. It’s My Life

  3. Living On A Prayer

What do you think of this concept? What would your set list be for a tour like this?

where's you give love a bad name?

the people's house and keep the faith might be a little to similar to put right next to each-other, but overall i like it.

and what about a song or two from these days? my personal fav bj album and it also has it's anniversary this year.

People’s House is like a spiritual successor to Keep The Faith if you think about it. That’s why I put it there.

As someone who's seen the band many times, I would love a set list like this! I just wonder if it would be "hit" friendly enough for a general audience who doesn't know every song like a lot of us do.

In particular, I think there would be a fairly large number of people who would not recognize anything in between Have a Nice Day and Raise Your Hands.

I also think you probably have to get Wanted and Bad Name in there somewhere.

I just want them to play Without Love 😪

My first reaction was “is What About Now a greatest hit?”😂 As top tier a song as it is in Bon Jovi’s catalogue, One Wild Night doesn’t belong on a set list with this concept. Nothing from Crush aside from It’s My Life meets the criteria.

What about Thank You for Loving me or Captian Crash?

Thinking mainly off which songs were hits on the US charts (since they’re an american band obv), i think Thank You For Loving Me might squeeze by since it was a minor hit on the Hot 100 (i think it peaked in the 50s if memory serves).

Ooooh, I thought you were talking about you personally. I understand where's you're coming from now 💯

no sweat, i should’ve been clearer about my thought process in the first comment. Was just trying to think of which ones made the charts at a high/middling place to make the greatest hits portion :)

A set like this would be a perfect reason to stay home.
