Notes:
- In retrospective this is the most common (and shortest) show of all 8 Christmas shows. With the exception of the last 2 encores it holds nothing too special but it's for most part the setlist one could expect during the Keep The Faith tour, that was about to start 6 weeks later.
- The very first performance of I Believe and In These Arms.
- In These Arms, Blaze Of Glory and Keep The Faith were recorded and released on the 2-CD special edition of Keep The Faith and on several singles as B-sides.
- This is the first Christmas show that has Lay Your Hands On Me on the setlist. With this song being a setlist staple back than I think it's a good example of the "unusualness" of the Christmas shows where it didn't get played the 2 years before.
- I Wish Everyday Could Be Like Christmas (Bon Jovi original) and Please Come Home For Christmas (Charles Brown classic), two songs that Bon Jovi had just recorded and released, get played for the first time ever.
No recording from that night could be found.
