The last time Bon Jovi played University Park was on February 9, 2011. The setlist contained no surprises.

The show was streamed live on the internet where many saw the band, and especially Richie, making mistake after mistake. Bootleggers classified it as one of the worst shows the band had ever done.

2 graphs showcasing the order of album and single tracks. A peak indicates the chart position in the Billboard Hot 100, thus a crowd possibly knowing such a song. The more peaks, the more familiar a crowd is with the entire set. In case no peak is noted the song either didn't chart or wasn't released as a single.

The first graph is of this show, the second one is of the previous time Bon Jovi played University Park:

Salaam Aleikum,

My first show this tour and we splurged for the VIP (2nd row) as bday presents to my fiance and myself. I'm not hoping for a miracle setlist but I'd take the Pittsburgh setlist from Thursday night.

'This Is Our House'...

what happened at the show ? what were these nightmares ?

- richie had a cold and looks like he's under the influence which was probably true - he entered rehab a couple of months afterwards.
he's a bit sloppy on this one now that I'm listening to the whole thing

and jon sounded dreadful throughout. I have the answer to my own question then lol.

Ugh. I remember that show. Here's to hoping that tonight's show is way better.

I honestly think that that could happen.

I remember watching that webcast - that was awful. They even forgot the solo in Make A Memory.

Well I could be wrong but isn't this the venue that was temporarily renamed the 'Bon Jovi Arena' or something? Playing 'This Is Our House' would fit into that for them.

This Is Our House was performed once (well.. twice at one show) and probably will never be played again. This ain't exactly an "Open All Night" case where the song is "dear and close to Jons heart"
