Jon Bon Jovi debuts new songs in Napa Valley

Jon Bon Jovi (backed by Bobby Bandiera and Lorenza Ponce) performed an acoustic fan club gig at the Castello di Amorosa in California's Napa Valley on August 28, 2012. He talked about writing songs for the upcoming Bon Jovi album as well as the soundtrack of a movie called Stand Up Guys (starring Al Pacino, Christopher Walken and Alan Arkin) and played some of these new songs. Here are videos of The Fighter, Running, and Old Habits:

The Fighter - from the new Bon Jovi album


Not Running Anymore - from the Stand Up Guys soundtrack


Old Habits Die Hard - from the Stand Up Guys soundtrack (I wasn't expecting that opening line, haha)


So... What do you think of the songs?

I also haven't been able to find a set list for this show but from what I've managed to quickly piece together from different sources online, it was reportedly something like this:

• Superman Tonight
• (You Want To) Make a Memory
• Born to Be My Baby
• Running
• Old Habits
• The Fighter
• Livin' on a Prayer
• Santa Fe
• Hallelujah

Can anyone confirm what was played?

Here's Santa Fe for good measure:

I Believe, Roses, Santa Fe + more from Barcelona

As promised... Bon Jovi videos from Barcelona (July 27, 2011).

I Believe

Love this song! Looks like it's fun to play too. And Jon sounds awesome here.

Bed of Roses / Cama de Rosas

Bed of Roses with the Spanish chorus... a treat for the local crowd. I'm willing to bet Jon's Spanish pronunciation isn't exactly perfect, but sometimes it's more about the effort and heart than the polish. Case in point: Stick to Your Guns in Amsterdam 2008.

Santa Fe

This has only been played one other time (during Bon Jovi's residency at London's O2 arena). Just to give you fair warning, the Barcelona rendition also features an audible female voice from the crowd. ;)

Something to Believe In

Still one of my faves. I don't know what it is but the "hey hey hey heys" give me goosebumps.

Hey God

Energetic performance.

Always

Some videos from Bon Jovi's concerts at London's O2 arena.

I GOT THE GIRL (Show #10: June 23, 2010) - Jon reflects on how much Stephanie Rose has grown up since he wrote this song. Thanks to Maayan for sending me the link.

Other videos from the 10th show are at this link.


The following videos are from Show #11: June 25, 2010.

BLOOD MONEY


THE LAST NIGHT - When Bon Jovi played in Perth not long after Heath Ledger's death, Jon wore a Joker shirt and played this song. Not sure if it's a coincidence or not but this was the one year anniversary of Michael Jackson's death.


LAY YOUR HANDS ON ME - First time this tour that "Lay Your Hands" has been done with Jon on lead vocals.


SANTA FE (Show #11: June 25, 2010) - First time ever! A sombre acoustic rendition on the circle.


BAD MEDICINE/OLD TIME ROCK & ROLL - Featuring Kid Rock. Filmed from the pit. David "Tony boy" Bryan gets to start the jukebox song.
