I don't mean to push this convo off topic but those dates were not part of the band's tour for the album. The proper Bounce tour didn't start until January of 2003. Doing promo dates on someone else's festival doesn't make it part of a tour, just my opinion.

That's what I was saying. The tour started in Australia, not Japan.

That's what wikipedia says, but that's full of shit sometimes.
Yes, they played stadiums there, but as part of festivals and even at that time the band was talking about doing promotion there.
Just like 2001 in Melbourne, it wasn't part of the tour, just because they did play some shorter sets in stadiums.
In 2010, it was announced in a big way that the band was returning to Australia for their first tour in 15 years (also stated so in band interviews), meaning that they don't list these shows as part of the Bounce tour themselves. It was part of the 2002 promo cycle.

The Rumba Festival was not part of the Bounce tour. There was no Bon Jovi stage, it wasn't their crew, promos, merch saying Bounce tour or anything. Doing a show on a festival doesn't make it part of a tour regardless of what Wikipedia tells you. There's dozens of interviews with the band saying the tour starts January in Japan.

This is promo, not the Bounce tour.

Seems like it is promo and concerts,because they didnt come later in 2003 in Australia,all the three were festivals,but you can count them as part of the tour.

Great job as always, thanks! My takeaways:
- The atmosphere was absolutely electric, I can only imagine how that must've felt live! The pop that the first chord received, you'd think it's one of their bigger hits.
- it sounds like there are some backing vocals during the bridge ("now the oil is gone and the money's gone"), which surprised me, because I was not used to hearing that in post-2000 performances. I wonder when and why Richie/David stopped doing that.
- it was 2006 and Jon sounded very compromised at certain parts, which makes me a) appreciate how much better he sang it in 2008-2011; and b) dread how atrocious it would sound in 2018.
- In a perfect world, is there another song they could play that has been shelved for so long that its return would be as magical as this? In and out of Love?

Maybe Breakout or If I Was Your Mother?
