                Notes:

  • The biggest contrast in back-to-back shows on this leg with the band playing 10 songs less than two days before.

  • Heavy wind and rain in the days leading up to the show had caused the crew trouble in setting up the stage in time. This, combined with strict curfew regulations and an obviously exhausted band, made for a short show.

  • As it is often the case in Belgium, Jon had a very hard time trying to get the crowd into a party mood.

  • Jon admitted to being tired and homesick and even called the crowd “Paris”, which in fact was to be the next tour stop, during the first songs.

  • The setlist is knocked back to its usual structure.

  • The snippet of Gloria returns.

  • Bed Of Roses returns in the spot of Damned.

  • The acoustic trio is played in its “traditional” way again.

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

  • Helter Skelter, Lie To Me, Damned, I’ll Be There For You, Drift Away, These Days, Blood Money, Blaze Of Glory, So You Wanna Be A Rock’n’Roll Star and This Ain’t A Love Song are all dropped.
