                Notes:

  • I Believe returns to the opening slot after three shows and I’d Die For You is rotated out of the setlist again.

  • Born To Be My Baby is dropped!
  • Keep The Faith and I Can’t Help Falling In Love / Bed Of Roses switch places.

  • Dry County returns, but gets played after Lay Your Hands On Me. Even though Jon was having to fight vocally, he pulled out another spine-chilling scream right before the song’s solo, just like he had done in Hartford.

  • This was one of the main locations where video footage for In These Arms got filmed. Jon told the crowd about it and Wayne Isham also stayed on the stage during songs like Bad Medicine to get additional footage.

  • Runaway has its tour premiere!

  • Even though it was not filmed, Never Say Goodbye was on the original setlist, so it's unclear if it was actually played as a second encore!

  • A well-known interview with a Brazilian TV host was recorded right after this show. Jon talked about the advantages of being in such a band in comparison to a group of musicians like on his solo album, explicitly referring to them having pulled out Runaway on the spot without any rehearsal for the song on the tour so far. He also added that “Richie was as sick as a dog, but delivered with every inch tonight” and judged his own performance as “okay, but not great”.
