Notes:
- Same main set as on Night 1.
- The crowd’s energy was insane, making this one of the best shows of the entire tour!
- The live version of the Blood On Blood video clip was, in large portions, taken from the performance of the song here.
- Once again, the encore opened with a repeated rendition of Lay Your Hands On Me for the band’s video shoot. Jon complimented the crowd for their energy afterwards.
- Richie’s lead-in solo to Wanted Dead Or Alive was scrapped again. After the song, the band started taking requests from the audience. Jon told the crew to turn up the lights so he was able to see the banners that were held up.
- The band went for Never Say Goodbye and started out like in the acoustic version, but Richie was still carrying his electric guitar and played his parts on that. Halfway through the song, the entire band joined in and Jon’s vocals were incredibly passionate on top of it, making it one of the best live renditions the band has ever pulled off!
- Jon seemed to be “in the zone” after this and the band went ahead with another cracking performance – this time of Living In Sin!
