                 Notes:

  • The final night of the Japanese leg with the band shaking up and extending the setlist like crazy! An indicator of what was to come in Europe!

  • All I Want Is Everything replaces Hey God in the main set. The latter would be played in the encore anyway.

  • Bed Of Roses gets played for the first time in 1996 and takes the spot of I’ll Be There For You.

  • Wild Is The Wind gets played for the first time since 1991 and pushes Something To Believe In back to the encore.

  • Jumpin’ Jack Flash and Papa Was A Rolling Stone are added to the I'll Sleep When I'm Dead medley.

  • Dry County and The Boys Are Back In Town replace Always and These Days in the first encore!

  • This Ain’t A Love Song opens the second encore and replaces My Guitar Lies Bleeding In My Arms. Despite having been the album’s first single, it was to be one of the rare cuts in 1996.

  • Because The Night replaces Diamond Ring as an introduction to Damned which gets played without an interlude of If Loving You Is Wrong for the first time on this leg.

  • These Days is added to the second encore block.

  • Bon Jovi were firing on all cylinders and added 2 more encores with Never Say Goodbye and Something To Believe In / Hey God, both whom had been initially dropped from the main set.
