Notes:
-
The first show of the Lost Highway tour and the first of 10 shows in the Prudential Center, which officially opened with
this concert series. Actually Bon Jovi's plan was to promote Lost Highway with those 10 shows only but changed their plans after the album and those 10 shows sold well. Before starting the
song Summertime Jon announced the upcoming world tour.
- While Bobby Bandiera (guitar) and Jeff Kazee (keyboards) joined them on the Have A Nice Day tour this time around Bobby Bandiera (guitar), Lorenca Ponce (violin) and Kurt Johnston (pedal steel guitar) were hired as additional musicians.
- The stage was designed like a bar. Instead of the usual intro the band members took the stage one by one with Kurt Johnston being the first and starting to play Lost Highway by Hank Williams. Every following band member joined in and when finally Jon came out last they started the show with their own song Lost Highway. That was a cool intro which suited that country setting very well.
- Like on the two previous tours Richie Sambora sang a song during the show. While he used to sing I'll Be There For You this was the very first time he took over lead vocals on These Days.
- Blaze Of Glory was performed in the This Left Feels Right style they already did on the Have A Nice Day tour.
- 8 songs from their current album Lost Highway were perfomed.
