Selected videos from Austin

"Keep the Faith". Great energy. The band isn't what it was but that doesn't mean they're not good players: 

"I'll Be There For You". Same exit as St. Louis, where Jon kind of just waves to the crowd and leaves, except that this time the rest of the band wasn't caught off guard:

That's What the Water Made Me (opening song in Austin)

That's What the Water Made Me opened a Bon Jovi concert for the first time in Austin, Texas on April 10, 2013. (It was also the first show of the Because We Can Tour not to open with You Give Love a Bad Name.)

Water seems to be one of the most liked songs on What About Now... I'd personally love to hear it on the radio and be able to tell everyone that's my favourite band's new single (Not that it means a whole lot in the grand scheme of things). Do you think it works well as an opener?
