Bon Jovi in Birmingham 16/2/17

Bon Jovi continued their This House Is Not For Sale Tour with a trip to Birmingham, Alabama for the first time since the New Jersey Tour, if I'm not mistaken.

Here's what was played in 2017:

I was happy to see "We Weren't Born to Follow" dropped for reasons previously stated, but it's still not a terribly exciting set on paper. I do hope Jon stands his ground and keeps playing lots of songs from This House Is Not For Sale... though I feel like they could've rotated through the entire album by now instead of only playing the same few songs. (They repeated the live listening party four times so it's not like they haven't performed the other tracks before.)

Here's a video of "Born to Be My Baby":

UPDATE 20/2/17: Here's a video of Jon exchanging some banter with the crowd before the band plays "The Devil's in the Temple":

Were you at this show?

Always in Manchester + Birmingham

Bon Jovi's most recent two performances of Always -- Etihad Stadium in Manchester on June 8 and Villa Park in Birmingham on June 9 -- could well be the best ones of the tour so far. From a vocal perspective anyway... Jon's voice seems to have improved in the last couple of shows, so hopefully it's onwards and upwards from here. :)

Birmingham
