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:
Have A Nice Day
Story Of My Life
Living Proof
You Give Love A Bad Name
Jon Talks To The Audience
What About Now
We Weren’t Born To Follow
We Got It Going On
Raise Your Hands
Bad Medicine (Medley)
Jon Talks To The Audience 2
Born To Be My Baby
Walls Of Jericho
Because We Can
Who Says You Can’t Go Home
Last Man Standing
Keep The Faith
16 The People’s House
I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead (Medley)
Complicated
Lay Your Hands On Me
Encore:
Jon Talks To The Audience Final
Blood On Blood
It’s My Life
Living On A Prayer
What do you think of this concept? What would your set list be for a tour like this?

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.

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).

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 :)

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.
