I'm happy to see "Knockout" gone again despite my affection for This House Is Not For Sale overall, and I think "Raise Your Hands" is a stronger choice for that second spot. "When We Were Us" was also back in the set, having not been performed since the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction.

A few days ago, Anthony Kuzminski sparked some debate by ranking each song in the Bon Jovi and Jon Bon Jovi back catalogue for Ultimate Classic Rock. He was also at this show and live tweeted from behind the stage. Here are a few of those tweets:

The ticket Gods work in mysterious ways and someone offered me a ticket to the show tonight. Tepid opening, quickly reversed by “Raise Your Hands” pic.twitter.com/tviiPqS68q

Ok, after a lot of blank stares from a good performance of “When We Were Us”, crowd wakes from their nap for “Born To Be My Baby”

— The Screen Door (@thescreendoor) April 27, 2018

I’m behind the stage as a gift from someone, so aside from a perfect view of their asses, I can see the entire crowd. It’s very rough going so far aside from the SWW and NJ numbers.

— The Screen Door (@thescreendoor) April 27, 2018

“It’s My Life” plays like the mega hit it is. Now it’s “We Weren’t Born To Follow”. People back in their seats and on their phones.

— The Screen Door (@thescreendoor) April 27, 2018

Not going to lie, there’s a huge gap on that stage without @TheRealSambora , that being said Phil X is damn good and a lot of fun to watch. If Richie ever came back I’d like to see Phil take on some mean rhythm guitar. @BonJovi #KeepTheFaith #BonJovi

— The Screen Door (@thescreendoor) April 27, 2018

I adore “Make a Memory” but it’s not a great encore song. “Wanted” without Richie’s harmonies is blasphemous. In the end, most people formed over $100 to hear “Livin’ on a Prayer” which has the place on their feet.

Bon Jovi in Atlanta 20/04/18

Bon Jovi's Atlanta show brought with it a couple of changes. "In These Arms" and "New Year's Day" were played for the first time this year, the latter replacing "God Bless This Mess". "We Don't Run" stayed in the spot that "Knockout" had occupied for most of the tour (which is fine by me, since I've said a few times that "Knockout" is my least favourite song on This House Is Not For Sale).

Here's the full set list:

Atlanta, GA, USA - Philips Arena - April 20, 2018

1. This House Is Not For Sale
2. We Don't Run
3. You Give Love a Bad Name
4. Whole Lot of Leavin'
5. Lost Highway
6. Born to Be My Baby
7. Who Says You Can't Go Home
8. It's My Life
9. We Weren't Born to Follow
10. Runaway
11. We Got It Going On
12. Keep the Faith
13. Amen
14. Bed of Roses
15. Lay Your Hands on Me
16. New Year's Day
17. I'll Sleep When I'm Dead
18. Bad Medicine
    
    Encore:
19. In These Arms
20. Wanted Dead or Alive
21. Livin' on a Prayer

Videos from Atlanta

"In These Arms". In the same way that I don't really understand why Bobby Bandiera used to play the solo for this song when you had Richie Sambora in the band, I don't know why John Shanks is playing it now when Phil X is there... No disrespect intended to Bob or Shanks. As for Jon's voice, it is what it is; I remain hopeful he can turn it around like he did in 2008, but accept that may not be the case. It's still nice to see "In These Arms" in the set:

"We Don't Run":

"Bad Medicine":

Bon Jovi in Orlando 18/04/18

Fresh from their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (and apparently sipping themed cocktails at the after-party), Bon Jovi resumed the tour in Orlando.
