Notes:

  • Happy Now replaces Raise Your Hands and opens the show.
  • Superman Tonight replaces Lost Highway.
  • The More Things Change is added.
  • Runaway is dropped.
  • Roadhouse Blues replaces Hot Legs and Old Time Rock & Roll in the Bad Medicine medley.
  • Someone in the audience had a sign with Mercy as a request. During Bad Medicine Jon tried to sing the song but couldn't remember the lyrics. After a couple of tries they finally played it after I'll Be There For You.
  • What Do You Got replaces When We Were Beautiful.
  • Bed Of Roses is dropped.
  • In These Arms is moved to the encore. David Bryan sang the first verse.
  • Dry County, Always, These Days and Twist & Shout are dropped.
  • I attended the show myself. Many die-hards left disappointed and described the show as the worst they've ever seen. I wouldn't go that far - my impression afterwards was that I've seen a solid show that missed some surprises. It might have been a nice gag of Jon trying to get Mercy right but it would've been better to play another song instead. The band also didn't quite get into the flow the way they were on previous shows that tour.
