Notes:

  • Setlist comparisons are to the last documented concert in Mountain View on April 30th.
  • The main set remains unchanged.
  • The first encore block with the jam session is dropped again.
  • Like on the entire string of shows surrounding this one, the encore was opened with the band re-doing Lay Your Hands On Me for the video shoot.
  • Ride Cowboy Ride is dropped. Furthermore, the band abandoned Richie’s acoustic solo before Wanted and when straight into the song after they had wrapped up the Lay Your Hands On Me performance.
  • Before the show, Jon welcomed a 12-year old Columbian girl who is deaf backstage, also giving her presents. Her older sister had contacted a radio DJ who in return had set up the deal with Bon Jovi’s management.
  • The band's 100th show on this tour. Little did they know at the time that they weren't even halfway there yet.
