Videos from the first Circle tour show in Honolulu. You can read the full setlist here.
ROULETTE - Jon talks to the crowd before dedicating this lost treasure to "the hardcore lunatic fans who gave us such a hard time". If there's one criticism that can be levelled at the first two albums, it's that they sound comparatively dated (New Jersey, for instance, is much more timeless. But I don't believe the 80s are anything to be ashamed of.) But "Roulette" still holds up well in 2010, and it's such a cool song. My face hurts from grinning so much. :P
DIAMOND RING - Love the intimacy this song brings. Check out the response from Richie when Jon asks if anyone's married or wants to be. ;)
BED OF ROSES - One of the first Bon Jovi songs I ever heard and still in my top five of all time. So glad they brought it back on the last tour.
LOVE'S THE ONLY RULE - Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine this song (catchy but fairly lightweight to be honest) could be so epic in a live setting. Jon fluffs some of the words and his voice is a bit thin (though better than at this stage of the previous tour), but I was almost shaking while watching this... and I wasn't even there!
The same YouTuber has Superman Tonight and WGIGO up as well :)

Love's The Only Rule absolutely soars on the album as well, IMO. Best song from The Circle, bar none. Should be the next single.
ReplyDeleteI think it should have been the first single and they should have dropped Born to Follow, but that's just me. :P
ReplyDeleteI'd love for Brokenpromiseland to be a single but I think the next one will be Working Man.
