                Notes:

  • A concert held on the Groton Naval Sub Base. There were no more concerts at this site after 1993.

  • After Born To Be My Baby, Jon asked the crowd to take five steps back because the band was told that people were getting crushed in the front.

  • Bed Of Roses is kicked out of the main set, but a wonderful piano-driven version opens the encore! Jon even played the harmonica on this one!

  • Jumpin’ Jack Flash is dropped from the medley in I'll Sleep When I'm Dead.

  • Before Blood On Blood, Jon addressed that the Naval Sub Base was about to get shut down, talked about the background of the song with his friends going off to the navy back in the day and dedicated it to the people stationed in Groton.

  • In These Arms is added to the encores while I’ll Be There For You gets dropped.

  • Richie played the intro of The Answer in his acoustic lead-in to Wanted Dead Or Alive.
