Notes:

  • Raise Your Hands is dropped.
  • We Got It Going On and Have A Nice Day early in the set.
  • Captain Crash returns.
  • Bad Case of Loving You replaces Roadhouse Blues in the Bad Medicine medley.
  • Make A Memory and Bed of Roses are rotated into the ballad section and Hallelujah and I’ll Be There For You are dropped.
  • Due to a request the band spontaneously played Never Say Goodbye on the circle. However, like earlier on the tour, Jon really screwed up the verses. The band were in a great mood and just laughed it off.
  • I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead is added to the setlist.
  • During Keep The Faith Jon almost appeared to be possessed by his own song, making this, along with the fireworks, one of the best renditions of the decade.
  • Always replaced Dry County in the encore.
  • Jon was in a much better condition vocally than the night before. He went for all he had on Always, but his voice was shot to pieces once they hit the final chorus. Richie asked him afterwards if he was okay and they joked along that they shouldn’t have written songs with such high notes in them.
  • The best of the three nights judged by the band’s energy and quality of their performance.
