Notes:
- Walk Away Renee replaces Heartbreak Hotel.
- The Boys Are Back In Town is added as the final song of the show.
- The show has only been documented from Get Ready onwards, but the only thing changing in the first part of the show at the time was the ballad. Since a Finnish fan provided me with information from various newspapers that all mentioned I’ll Be There For You being played, it’s pretty safe to assume this was the proper setlist.
- Some footage of the band arriving in Helsinki can be seen in the Access All Areas video. Furthermore, there’s the famous scene where David is playing piano in a hotel lobby with Jon yelling from above “anything but that same fuckin’ song!” and Tico coming over to hand Dave some money for his music. Even though it’s not marked on the video itself, it was filmed at Hilton Helsinki Strandille Joutsenmerkki, a hotel still active today. Thanks Tomi for the detailed research on this!
