I don't understand why in the middle of a stadium leg of the tour, they play one indoor show on their circle tour and not even setting up the proper 'circle stage' ... Maybe cool for those seeing many shows, but probably disappointing for those only attending one show. (Unless this show had cheaper ticket prices)

It's a strange touring concept they have. I don't see U2 or the Stones doing this.

This show and the show at Saratoga Springs the night before weren't indoor shows. They were both in open-air amphitheaters. (We call them "sheds.") Here's what the Blossom Music Center looks like:


And here's a view from the stage:


As you can see, there's no room for the Circle stage, and we all knew that when we bought tickets. I think Jovi's "production" is very impressive, but I also enjoy a stripped down show like this when it's just the guys and their instruments.

We don't know for sure, of course, but it seems like there was room in the schedule for these shows when the fourth night at the Meadowlands didn't sell quickly enough that they wanted to add a fifth. The trucks were heading that direction anyway, and with time in the schedule, why not add some shows?

I have a question about this show...AND the saratoga one...cause both didnt have the catwalk, or inner circle...or the big LCD screens...

these shows...they didnt have that amazing Intro?
The one they play on the screens with those circles and words...and that music and the band walking...right before BoB (or HN, or LMS...whatever...) start????

Couldnt find anything like that on YT...

I was lucky enough to be really close for both of these shows, and I couldn't really see the screens that were at these venues. They definitely played the intro music, and I could tell that the intro video was shown on the screens at Blossom. I'm not sure about Saratoga. As I said, anyone buying tickets for these venues should have known that the production would be different since the venues are so different.
