                Notes:

  • After all the setlist changes having followed a certain pattern thus far, Bon Jovi decided to throw it all overboard for their concert in Frankfurt!

  • Helter Skelter makes its tourpremiere and opens the show!

  • You Give Love A Bad Name and Runaway move up past All I Want Is Everything and Bad Medicine gets placed right before the acoustic set.

  • No cover songs in either Bad Medicine or I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead tonight.

  • Lie To Me returns and is played very early in the set.

  • Diamond Ring introduces Damned instead of Bed Of Roses. The latter, along with Dry County, gets dropped.

  • Since the standard opening with the local marching band was moved to after the acoustic set, Lay Your Hands On Me takes this spot as well with Something For The Pain getting pulled upfront.

  • I’d Die For You returns to the acoustic set, but this time around, it’s actually the acoustic version of Wanted Dead Or Alive that gets dropped while I’ll Be There For You takes its spot. Wanted Dead Or Alive later on gets played electric for the first and only time this tour!

  • Stranger In This Town is dropped.

  • Jon entered the stage with a jersey of the German national football team which had just won the European cup while the band had been playing. He congratulated the audience on their victory before playing These Days and the crowd in Frankfurt, which is known as an enthusiastic sports crowd anyway, absolutely erupted.

  • Blood Money is played for the only time this tour as well! It forms the third encore with the also-returning Blaze Of Glory and Livin’ On A Prayer.

  • This Ain’t A Love Song is added to the fourth encore!

  • 30 songs! This marked the most songs in one show the band would have played all the way up until late 2007! What a night it must have been!
