Notes:

  • The first open air concert at Maimarktgelände in 8 years. When Bon Jovi played there during their Bounce tour in 2003 a lot of residents in that area complained about the loudness. Further more Bon Jovi played 20 minutes over the curfew. This led to the city's executives making Robbie Williams, who played there about a month later, to play exactly until the curfew and even threatened to arrest him if he would play any longer. Afterwards both the city and every promoter weren't interested in any open air concert at Maimarktgelände anymore. Jon even makes fun of it before they kick into The Radio Saved My Life Tonight.
  • Raise Your Hands is added and opens the show, Captain Crash & The Beauty Queen From Mars is moved to the last part of the mainset.
  • The Radio Saved My Life Tonight replaces Lost Highway.
  • Runaway replaces Whole Lot Of Leavin'.
  • Start Me Up is payled during I'll Sleep When I'm Dead.
  • I Get A Rush is played for the first time since 2008. This marks the last performance of that song.
  • Mercy and Old Time Rock & Roll replace Pretty Woman in the Bad Medicine medley.
  • Lay Your Hands On Me and (You Want To) Make A Memory are dropped.
  • A girl had a banner requesting Never Say Goodbye. When Jon and Richie were out on the catwalk Jon thought about playing it for a second and even strummed the first chords but they kicked into I'll Be There For You anyway.
  • Miss Fourth Of July makes its debut on a 2011 setlist. This is the last time the ever got played.
  • Someday I'll Be Saturday Night is added.
  • Work For The Working Man is dropped.
  • Hey God replaces Superman Tonight.
  • Richie Sambora sang the second verse of Wanted Dead Or Alive.
  • In These Arms is added to the encore, the first verse was sung by David Bryan.
  • Hallelujah is added to the encore.
  • I attended the show myself and I can tell you - it was awesome! The band was on fire, the audience was on fire, the setlist was great. That night the band remembered me of their best days in 1995.
