Haha, two minds think alike here ;-).

I think it open with Living on a Prayer, end with Keep the Faith.

They are preparing a video for the giant screens, fans playing maracas, this is a test that will be the end of the concert.

Closed: Keep the Faith

In my opinion will be something like this.

It's a shame, because it could be better, for example strong start with a song from the new album, but for now there are none.

.

given it's an American show, it won't be longer than 22-23 songs.

They opened with Bounce at one of the shows I went to in 2011 and it went down like a lead balloon. Not enough people know it.

For opener I think it might be Prayer, RYH or maybe a new one?
I think BWC will appear as second in the set, like Follow did last tour...

and yeah, instead of Richie singing a BJ tune, maybe Every Road.
But not sure these changes will happen in these firsts concerts...

BJ. com are live streaming a pre show and the first 30mins of the gig

really hope its not Prayer! Has to be the end of the show or encore, it is the one everyone knows and sings loudest. Also a tingle down the spine when it happens, if at the start then half the crowd are lost already!

I saw that about the stream. What time does that start at UK time then?

And before we all argue after, the show will be just ok, Jon's voice wont be great and it will be standard set to be shown online like they did at the start of the tour last time. Just remember how good the tour ended up in various places!!

The UK is 5 hours ahead of NY so it will start at 12:30 / 1:00 and 1:30 / 2:00 here in Germany.

Because its being streamed Jon will put Because We Can in the start and one more new song rest will be popular fan songs
