Official May 26, 2013, Ratina Stadium, Tampere thread
 

Last time they played in Finland was in 2011 at Olympic Stadium, Helsinki. This was the show where Jon hurt his leg. Because of that they dropped some songs off. Still pretty good show with two rarities: Thorn in My Side and Wild is the Wind. The setlist was following:

1. Raise Your Hands
2. You Give Love a Bad Name
3. Born to Be My Baby
4. We Weren't Born to Follow
5. In These Arms
6. Lost Highway
7. It's My Life
8. Runaway
9. We Got It Goin' On
10. Captain Crash & the Beauty Queen From Mars
11. Bad Medicine / Roadhouse Blues / Shout
12. Love's the Only Rule
13. When We Were Beautiful
14. Bed of Roses
15. I'll Be There for You
16. Who Says You Can't Go Home
17. I'll Sleep When I'm Dead
18. No Apologies
19. Have a Nice Day
20. Keep the Faith
Encore:
21. Thorn in My Side
22. Wanted Dead or Alive
23. Wild Is the Wind
24. Livin' on a Prayer

Ratina Stadium takes 30 000 people in concert. This morning there were 115 seats left + some seats on the side of the stage. Also tickets for GA, GC and DC are still available. So the stadium will be pretty packed.

Stand out song on that set for me was, Thorn In My Side - this they could bring back anytime.

Yes it was very good and worked very well as a first encore. I think it's crazy that they dropped off Love's the Only Rule for this tour. Amazing live song. One of those "new songs" which would definitely have a place in every show.

Aloha !

What a brilliant idea, starting topics for shows you're attending yourself. You'll be offering everyone a great service when, while walking out of the venue after the show, you're changing the first post and add the setlist.

Ok, sorry. Should i delete this thread so you can do it yourself?

First 30min of the show will be streamed live! The show starts at 5pm (UTC).

Here's the link to watch it:

Thanks. What time is this in the U.S./Chicago?

Great news, thanks.

After a quick Google search, it's currently a little after 3am in Finland. So that's what, 9am for the concert? Simple math is not my strong point. :D

Ok I think the show starts at 6pm(UTC), in Finland 8pm. I'm little bit confused because of the Eastern Europe summertime....
In Chicago it should start then 12pm.

For those in the UK, that's 6pm.....

Is it over or is just my idea? :P

Current time in Tampere, Finland is 1:20pm Sun 26th May

I'm quite far from the stadium now, but if I heard correctly they soundchecked at least BWC and IML. So even soundchecks can be boring. :).

EDIT: Sorry, it seems it was just somebody boring playing those songs of a CD over a PA.

All who are going, have a great show!

They haven't done the soundcheck yet.

EDIT: sorry i saw your edit just now :D

Sitting in the afternoon sun in the FC DC line. Still no soundcheck yet. For once, it seems it's not going to rain tonight.

The early entry should be in 20 minutes. I still haven't heard a soundcheck.

I do believe I was off on the time difference. :D What the heck was I drinking last night? ;) Currently it's 10:47am Central time in the states, 6:47pm in Tampere.

That's great! Thanks a lot ! :D

I'm seeing Bon Jovi advertisements and can hear audio before the show. Added: Just now said show time in 5 minutes!

Is it a tradition that the band plays Hells Bells before shows everywhere? I noticed they did the same in Stockholm.

Same in Sofia and Munich. Maybe it'll sticks for this tour.

Is anyone else's stream skipping and lagging like mad? I have a crazy stop-start thing going on. First time i've had this with a live stream before.

Really great audio and video! Graet stream!

All is fine here.. no stop start skipping thing.

The mix is indeed better in this one. A lot better. Lets see what happens when a song that is more vocally challenging comes up.

Well, someone wanna tell me what their playing? Though I'm guessing Water.

1. Water Made Me
2. Bad Name

Correct...

1. Water
2. Bad name

Is the show sold out? Looks empty in the back :(

Bobby with the solo, a lot bett but still horrendous.

This wasn't too bad. Maybe my expectations are that low. But I'm enjoying myself to be honest.

1. Water Made Me
2. Bad Name
3. Born To Be My Baby

Am I the only one that really cringe when Jon tries to sing the chorus to Bad Name? He can't even sing the words!!

Alas, BTBMB now.

Jons voice = still quite bad, but definitely an improvement from the last few nights.

Yeah nevermind.. voice cracks like a 13 year old boy.
