Bon Jovi skips major hits during sixth Madison Square Garden residency show

Fans at Bon Jovi's sixth night of their Madison Square Garden residency on July 19 noted the omission of several staple songs, including the third‑most‑played track "Wanted Dead or Alive," the 1994 ballad "Always," and the 2024 single "Red, White and Jersey." The concert lasted two hours and five minutes with 20 songs, shorter than earlier shows that featured up to 23 songs.

The band has not commented on the set‑list changes, and speculation links the cuts to frontman Jon Bon Jovi’s ongoing vocal issues following previous cord surgery. The residency continues through July 26 before the group heads to the United Kingdom for additional performances later in the year.
