                Notes:

  • Setlist comparisons are to the previous known setlist in Wiener Neustadt.

  • The excerpt of Gloria returns to Bad Medicine.

  • The electric version of I’d Die For You is played for the first and probably only time this tour!

  • Dry County is added to the main set and Damned moves up from the encores as well.

  • I'll Be There For You gets played acoustic for the first time this tour and takes the spots of the acoustic rendition of I'd For You.

  • Papa Was A Rolling Stone and Jumpin’ Jack Flash replace Brown Sugar in the I'll Sleep When I'm Dead medley.

  • The “These Days triplet” makes up the first encore this time. (It's Hard) Letting You Go replaces My Guitar Lies Bleeding In My Arms in that spot and gets played for the first time in Europe!

  • Rockin’ In The Free World returns to form the second encore with My Guitar Lies Bleeding In My Arms and These Days.

  • Always in the final encore.

  • Lie To Me and Blaze Of Glory are dropped.

  • It had been raining all day and the band were clearly surprised by the crowd still being in an overwhelming party mood which made for a great show! The encores make it obvious that they started throwing songs in on the spot. People often wonder why Zurich was chosen for the recording of the Crush tour video – this concert was the reason why!
