Haha you can clearly see the "What the duck" expression on their faces when they were given the first colourful gift!

"A "what the duck" expression? What "what the duck" expression?!"

As Bon Jovi pack out the Cotai Arena, we ask the band's entourage to put their questions to the legendary frontman

[...]

Tony, video director (and Jon’s brother): What am I getting for a tour bonus?
Tony, stop asking me these questions. Ask Mom.

A new possible explanation for the cancellation of the 2 Chinese gigs:

Quote:
While this seems a plausible explanation, some Chinese however believe that the main reason for the show cancellation could be something else.

During the QiXi Festival, or “Chinese Valentine’s Day” on Aug. 19, Jon Bon Jovi uploaded onto YouTube his personal rendition of the classic romantic Chinese song “The Moon Represents My Heart” (月亮代表我的心).

He sang the song in perfect Mandarin, aiming to win the hearts of Chinese fans ahead of the scheduled concerts.

The two-minute performance certainly gained a lot of attention, garnering more than 1.4 million hits on YouTube, and another 100,000 hits on Youku, one of China’s leading online video sites.

But government authorities were said to have been unhappy. The reason: the song is not a mainland China original, but something that belongs to the repertoire of Teresa Teng (鄧麗君), a Taiwanese pop singer.

Teng — who died in 1995 — had been very popular in Taiwan, but she wasn’t allowed to perform in China due to political reasons.

Teng had been a vocal champion of democracy and had expressed her support for the 1989 Tiananmen student protests, angering the Communist authorities on the mainland.

As Jon Bon Jovi sang one of her songs, Chinese authorities might have found it unpalatable, prompting them to retaliate by withdrawing permission for the band’s Beijing and Shanghai concerts, observers say.

NB: one article said that Jon's sister-in-law suggested that he records that song and she helped him with the pronounciation (he recorded it line by line as he explained at the KL press conference)...

That's ridiculous. Many chinese singers covered this song including Andy Lau and Leslie Cheung.

With a couple of additions this set list would probably work for the casual fan. Blind Love and Bed Of Roses in there and switch In These Arms to the encore.

1. Who Says You Can't Go Home
2. Lost Highway
3. Whole Lot Of Leavin'
4. Raise Your Hands
5. You Give Love A Bad Name
6. We Weren't Born To Follow
7. We Don't Run
8. It's My Life
9. Because We Can
10. Someday I'll Be Saturday Night*(Acoustic)
11. What About Now
12. We Got It Going On
13. Blind Love
14. Bed Of Roses
15. Wanted Dead Or Alive
16. I'll Sleep When I'm Dead
17. Keep The Faith
18. Bad Medicine*(+ Shout)

Encore:
19. Runaway
20. In These Arms
21. Born To Be My Baby
22. Have A Nice Day
23. Livin' On A Prayer*(Acoustic intro)

I agree. It sounds like it's practically a romantic national anthem -- Jon wouldn't have been allowed within miles of it if the government hadn't approved of it. On the other hand, if the government had bothered to go to Bon Jovi's web site and watched their official videos, they wouldn't have allowed Bon Jovi within miles of China anyway.

That would work better for sure.
I'd change the way the show was started and swapped some songs and keep it short enough for Jon's voice.

1. Raise Your Hands
2. You Give Love A Bad Name
3. We Weren't Born To Follow
4. Lost Highway
5. In These Arms
6. It's My Life
7. Bed Of Roses
8. We Don't Run
9. Born To Be My Baby
10. We Got It Going On
11. Who Says You Can't Go Home
12. Someday I'll Be Saturday Night
13. Wanted Dead Or Alive
14. Have A Nice Day
15. I'll Sleep When I'm Dead
16. Keep The Faith
17. Bad Medicine

Encore
18. I'll Be There For You or Always or Thank You For Lovin Me or Never Say Goodbye
19. Runaway
20. Livin' On A Prayer

I'm afraid the era of 25 songs or more is long gone now.
