Notes:
-
Since Bon Jovi had always struggled in terms of being popular in France, they had to play the only indoor show of this leg in France.
-
The “B-structure” of the setlist that’s already been used in Frankfurt, is back.
-
Helter Skelter opens the show and Lay Your Hands On Me moves to the spot after the acoustic set. Since the venue and stage were smaller, there was no local marching band this time around.
-
Something For The Pain moves up the setlist and Bad Medicine is placed right before the acoustic set.
-
Lie To Me and Damned are added to the first part whereas Diamond Ring and Bed Of Roses are dropped in their favor.
-
I’ll Be There For You replaces I’d Die For You in the acoustic set and furthermore switches places with Wanted Dead Or Alive. It was changed last second with Jon already announcing I'd Die For You, then saying "I don't wanna do that" and the band opting for the New Jersey ballad on the spot. At the start of the ballad, Jon told someone in the front rows to shut up which could clearly be seen on the arena’s screens.
-
I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead and Someday I'll Be Saturday Night switch places, as do Hey God and Keep The Faith.
-
Blaze Of Glory, These Days and This Ain’t A Love Song are added to the various encores, expanding the show to its usual length.
Some recording from that night (not mine).
