The stadium lit up as Bon Jovi do sound checks:

HAHAHAHAHA. One was most amused by that splendid link.

So any setlist productions? Phil's had plenty of time to learn tons of other songs now, and he clearly isn't afraid of playing difficult songs. I want to remain conservatively optimistic about the setlists on this tour but I'm hoping we'll see things similar to the tour in 2011. There were some great, great setlists on that tour and I hope the tradition continues even with Phil.

I really can't see them opening with Water anymore. It worked in an arena but I don't think it will work the same on the stadium leg. I'm also not sure if Bad Name will open either. I think it would be great to see another opener. Have a Nice Day would be my top choice.

The Zagreb show in 2011 had Hey God, and I wouldn't be surprised if this was the show Hey God finally reappeared at. Would also be cool to see Phil play some songs that the band hasn't played in many years. I think it would be cool to see the band pull out Everyday, One Wild Night, and Novocaine again. I'm also hoping for the return of Wild in the Streets, I Believe, and Lay Your Hands on Me on a more regular basis.

When does this show start? In how many hours?

Looks like its only an hour ahead of UK time as it seems to be just after 1pm there now, so assuming it starts at 8pm theres about 7 hours to showtime, 7pm UK time. A PBP at a reasonable time!

That's 3am here so I respectfully disagree. :p

Although I do have some great memories of light night/early morning PBPs when I was still bumming around as a uni student...

Finally! Finally we Europeans don't have to wake up in the middle of the night to follow a PBP! ;) It will be an interesting show! Probably they will play it safe though.

With Richie on board it would be so much more fun speculating about the setlist and the concert in general. I was really looking forward to their first stop in SA since 95, now not so much. Still curious how it's gonna be.

Hopefully the PBP is exciting. 2008 PBP's were class.
