Notes:
Setlist comparisons are to the last documented performance in Nagoya on January 10th.
Only two days after having finished the Japanese leg of the tour, Bon Jovi were back in the states for a mammoth run on home soil that was to last until October!
The catwalk, THE gimmick for the US tour, wasn’t used here. Just like in 2010, the Hawaiian shows were deemed as some sort of warm up and the full arena setup was to make its debut in Dallas.
Tokyo Road and Born To Be My Baby switch places.
I’ll Be There For You returns and Never Say Goodbye is rotated out of the setlist.
Jon joked about how badly he needed the sun because he was “the whitest man in America”.
For that, 99 In The Shade is dedicated to the Hawaiian fans. It replaces Travelin’ Band and I’d Die For You is dropped.
Contrary to many sources on the internet, the band only played two shows in Honolulu (not three).
