About the concert in Lisbon, there are a bunch of things planned. For those who are coming, check out the Portuguese fan club page in facebook (https://www.facebook.com/IBelieveBonJoviPortugal) or Twitter (@IBelieveBonJovi). If you find the info in Portuguese still, just hold on, it will be posted in several languages soon.

There is also a tribute concert the day before at Meninos do Rio the night before, with Bad Name (a tribute band). Here:https://www.facebook.com/BadNameTributoBonJovi.

If you can't find info in English until the concert, at the doors, there will be some flyers being distributed with the schedule for the several initiatives.

We'll de distributing flyers and some glow wristbands. If you have any, bring them. But there is also a request for I Believe with simple printed pages at a certain point (I Believe is the name of the Portuguese fan club) and some more things that are being timed and negotated. But you will know about it.

If not, if no one hands anything, look for someone with a grey t-shirt with the sentence: “Portuguese do it better!” and the BJ heart. LOL It’s the official fan club t-shirt. People wearing that t-shirt will know what to tell you.

While I agree that Santa Fe was probably the biggest rarity/surprise of the tour, I don't think anyone was necessarily dying for it to be played. I think TAALS would be much more desired.

I hope for the best, but I don't know if I think there will be anything played that hasn't already been played. I think it will be more in line with what Seb said - a long show but not anything crazy. I think at best, some lesser-played songs from this tour will show up, like Bullet or Wild in the Streets.

I pretty much agree with this, we are more likely to get a spectacular performance rather than a spectacular set-list. It's easy for all us of to judge when we're sat at home watching the PBP, but let's try and save the (inevitable) bitching untill we get some reports from people who were actually there.

I'll be there too and I try to keep my expectations as low as possible. Whatever they deliver - I'm gonna enjoy to the fullest and soak it in. What I know for sure, that it's gonna be a very emotional night.

I was!
But after the Starland gig in 2009 I thought the chance was missed. Never thought I would be lucky enough to hear it.
Best song Jon ever wrote.

Some more info is now available, so I leave it here.

Also,there's a pdf doc with al the info concerning what the portuguese fanclub is trying to create, as far as the atmosphere of the show goes.

Nothing like this can ever be perfectly achieved, but I think the effort can bring about an incredible vibe to the show.
Hope to see you in Lisbon!


"The Portuguese Fan Club - I Believe - wants you to join us in lighting up Bela Vista with the Glow Bracelets!

We bought a few thousand bracelets to give away, but we need a lot more! So we invite you to join us and bring your own Glow Bracelet to the show.

We will light them up when the band leaves for the first encore. This
way they will have a big surprise when they return to the stage!

So please do not light it up before, otherwise it will ruin the effect.

We're counting on you!

More info: contacto@ibelievebonjovi.c​om

*Unfortunately we cannot afford bracelets to everyone, but we're
counting on you to help us reach as many people as possible."

There's a lot more planned, so if you're coming to the show be so kind as to visit the following pages:
