If Jon would ask you to write the setlist...

[Rike]

... how would it look ?

conditions:
-it is the Circle tour, so songs from the current album
-25 songs incl. encore
-3-5 audibles

I tired it and it is really difficult. And I'm ignoring the fact that most of the audience are not diehard fans.

here my setlist

1. Let it Rock
2. We weren’t born to Follow
3. Raise your Hands
4. Superman Tonight
5. Thorn in my Side
6. Lay your Hands on me
7. Undivided
8. Keep the Faith
9. Everyday
10.Made in America (Richie voc.)
11.Livin in Sin
12.Lie to me
13.Wild is the wind
14.When we were beautiful
15.Hey God
16.Something to believe in
17.Bad Medicine/ Roadhouse Blues
18.I’ll sleep when I’m dead/Mercy/Jumpin Jack flash
19.Bullet
20.Love’s the only Rule

21.These Days
22.Edge of he broken Heart
23.Live before you die
24.Midnight Rider/ Wanted
25.Livin on a Prayer

Audibles:
Diamond Ring
Happy Now
Hardest part is the Night
I love this Town
Fever
