The last time Bon Jovi played Calgary was July 14, 2010. The setlist contained one surprise; Blaze Of Glory made its return to the set, probably to satisfy the many (wannabe) cowboys attending the show due to it being part of the Stampede, which is an annual rodeo, exhibition and festival held in Calgary every year.

A graph 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.

I've been to the last show in Calgary which was rather good and way better than I expected. With the band just coming from a short hiatus I expect the set to be rather similar to Lubbock but hope, for the sake of our beloved gringo Panda (who will be attending this show) that Jon will turn it up a notch.

Salaam Aleikum,

good to be back, this break seems like ages!

Show kick-off will probably be just after I've gone to bed. As it's the first show of a new leg I won't expect any major surprises in the set, but who knows.

Of course it will be good. I'll be there, so yeah.

This show will be legen.

...wait for it...

I heard a rumor that @erikddavis will be tweeting the show. ;)

When the show starts? It's already 1am in Finland....

Show starts in 3 hours from now bud.

Right well bring 'Blaze Of Glory' back now.

dary..........

PBP tonight?

Panda is tweeting it, as mentioned on page 1.

Oh, TLDR

Thanks!

Erik is tweeting the PBP? Get ready for Fast Cars then :p

lol I didn't think about that!

Brace yourselves then..

This show will go one of two ways. Either the break did them some good. Jon's refreshed and raring to get back into it and we'll have one or two songs for the die hards and some actual showmanship.

Or, more probable, it will feel like the beginning of a new tour and it'll be a pretty average show while they get back into the swing of things.

We'll find out very soon.

In my seats and ready. Terrible seats. but wasn't willing to drop 225 for a ticket. show start in 30 minutes.

How much did you shell out?

lol I actually kinda wish they would play it... I love Fast Cars :p

Can u plz check out my cover of amen and tell me what u think of it

Bonjovi.com says that Richie is out for this leg of the tour for personal reasons.

HMMMMMM

Wow. what an effing joke. An announcement saying richie won't be playing tonight. What the effing... gah. this show is going to blow. richie probably back on the juice

What the ****?

Wow. Not again....

Phil X back then? Please don't let it just be Bobby and Jon.

I suppose it's a relapse....

Was it announced by someone from the stage?

Don't think so. He looked so healthy even last week. Maybe he is just tired from the band.

Yeah from the stage. a very loud announcement followed by a very loud "Booooooo"

From what? It's the first show after a break. Maybe a death in the family? Read they're donating $100k to homeless shelters in the area to make up for it.

No. ****ing. Way.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Not again! ****
What the **** Richie? The week before my shows? Really?
This sucks.
Never let Richie have a few weeks by himself. Now my shows are going to suck.

Oh man...I can't believe that it's happening again...

It'll be just this one or the whole leg???

I know we don't know what's going on, but it seems a bit weird that this has only been announced at show time....

It's almost like he turned up too drunk to play and JBJ told him to go home.

They are. guard next to me said show in 2 min. wow. well.... Ill try to enjoy myself.

Maybe JBJ will work all that much harder to compensate.

Maybe it is an unexpected family emergency of some kind...but if it's a relapse, wasn't it after a break from the band like this in the last tour where, just as things were gearing up again, that he went to rehab? If so, it looks like a repeat of the same pattern.

The last tweet from Richie was about six hours ago...totally normal.

I just can't believe that it's happening again. And the worst part is that we won't have any official information from Bon Jovi.

Jon on lead.......

meaning that whatever has happened has just happened.

If he's out for the whole leg, then you would think they might try and get Phil X in to cover the other dates.
