Why do you think they aren't mixing these up?

Whatdya mean?
Like play different Pre-Perrys? Maybe they're sticking to a Pre-Perry list of mostly disc 1 of Time3 because they figure at least a lot more people probably own that now than the first 3 albums themselves. That's what I'd do. If I'm Neal and we want to play songs we haven't played since Perry came aboard, i'm going with mostly songs off Disc 1 of Time. That way you got half a chance at least a handfull of people other than the die hards each night like and know the stuff.

Well, I was figuring we'd hear "To Play some Music" and "On a Saturday night".

I assume you are right. Perhaps they feel they sound the best on these too?

Well, it's whatever they rehearsed which is rumored to be a healthy 75 numbers.
If I'm not mistaken they have busted out OASN at least once, too.

I'd have liked to have heard Hustler, which I think they did the first show only. Doesn't fit Jon lyrically I don't think though, it would be strange with him singing those words. I can hear Neal sing "so lock up your women like you know you should."
I'd like to hear Karma or especially I Would Find You as well.

Jon changed the lyrics to Hustler because he didn't feel comfortable with them.

Whay were the lyrics that bothered him? What's wrong with, "I'm a Hustler, baby, let me smack your ass all night."?

Seriously, here are the real lyrics:

I get beside women all men desire,
Crazy with passion I'll never be tired,
Money's no good to me 'cause lovin's my game,
I don't need no trouble and I'll show you no pain.
I move like a lover, so silent and swift,
Screamin' women love me, just can't resist
I can't be bought, your payoff's no good,
So lock up your women, like you know you should.

C'mon, Jon. It's not exactly Eminem.

I do recall that from the interview. Neal probably wasn't interesting in singing more anyway.

Wouldn't fit with his family man image, so guess I can understand that. I remember John Waite regarding Bad English saying something about not seeing lyrics he didn't believe in. But its just rock and roll at times, doesn't always have to be taken seriously. 98% of the people in the audience wouldn't even know what Jon would be singing anyway.

True, although those lyrics would make Spinal Tap proud!

Maybe they'll bring A Dunbar in to help with some lyrics in the future. Ha.

Jon appears to be a dark red stater.....I did say "appears"...

Maybe too that his kids are on tour and on stage with him..
