                Notes:

  • The performance was part of the Red, White, Boom Pop Music Festival by local radio station Mix 93,3.
  • Other artists performing that day were Melissa Etheridge, Destiny's Child, Enrique Iglesias and Pink.
  • Other than the playing of Livin' On A Prayer, You Give Love A Bad Name and Wanted Dead Or Alive, the Bon Jovi set is unknown.
  • Quote from a news report from June 29,2000: "After a l-o-o-o-n-g intermission, Bon Jovi emerged, and the crowd went entirely ape-shit as the Jersey boys plugged in and started the rock. A guy in red zebra-stripe pants started giving lap dances while Jon Bon Jovi informed the crowd that he could taste our sweat. My answer to both: Yuck! Jon noted that it had been a long time since he’d visited Kansas City and claimed it was good to see us again, apparently failing to note that most of the fans in attendance were, at best, in utero when a Bon Jovi tour last graced the heartland. His band ripped through such classics as “Living On A Prayer” and “You Give Love A Bad Name” before rating the evening’s first encore and responding with “Wanted Dead or Alive.” It was an admirable yet derivative set. To put it bluntly, Bon Jovi can expect fellow Garden State native Bruce Springsteen to call and ask for his act back."
