Notes:

  • It's their first visit to Omaha in 9 years. Their last show there took place on April 08, 2013 as part of their Because We Can Tour.
  • "Expectations are high" would be wrong. But since Jon (as usual) told beforehand that the band rehearsed some rarities, there's at least a little bit of excitement what they are about to play.
  • The Radio Saved My Life Tonight gets played for the first time since 2015.
  • Just Older gets played for the first time since 2011.
  • We Don't Run was played acoustic. This is the very first time the song gets played this way.
  • Love's The Only Rule returns for the first time since 2013!
  • Most of the songs were tuned down a full step this time around. 
  • With "2020" only having gotten two promo performances due to the pandemic, these new songs all made their proper tour debut: Limitless, Beautiful Drug, Let It Rain, American Reckoning and Do What You Can. 
  • Jon brought back the acapella intro to Livin' On A Prayer. Overall, the band sounded tight and the setlist finally had undergone some much needed structural changes. Unfortunately, Jon's voice had not really benefitted from the long break.
