I just found this "home made" video of the last sthow of the These Days Tour, at Helsinki Olympic Stadium. I was 11 years old back then. I remember it was on the news, "An American rock legend ending their long tour in Finland." I had been a Bon Jovi fan for a year or so and told my dad that "hey, you should've bought me a ticket!"
IMO this was the tour that they realised that they also do need some time for themselves between legs. And although the tour had lasted for over a year, I think Hugh still looked a little nervous, not just being a studio guy but also having to tour and be there for fans.
