I know they have support playing but seems a short set is on the cards. Glad I've not shelled out for the Runaway Tour package!

I'd say that's usual everywhere but the U.K. Your curfews are often at 10 while in the rest of the world it's either 11, 12 or even 1 o'clock. The last show at that venue started 9:30 and ended at 12 or something like it. The only thing that'll matter in regards to the length of the show over there is Jon's willingness to go on. :)

Salaam Aleikum,

I just realized this show is exactly in the middle day between July 20th and July 30th, so it should be pretty special. Not set list wise, but in the "holy shitting gang snapping clue game! It's the middle day between July 20th and July 30th" kind of way. Man the moon is looking awesome tonight! In about nine months some new people are gonna be born....

:) On a scale of 1 to 10??!

About a medium.

Lucid, aware, but also stupidly giggly :)

That last show at the Meadowlands, together with Foxborough 2010, were the worst shows I've seen in North America, and ultimately made me realize that no matter what venue or location Jon is playing there, it won't make a difference in regards to the quality of the performances. I've got zero expectations for this one and have never regretted not going after seeing 4 shows in the Metlife Stadium 3 years ago.

I do agree with this. Besides the firework display during KTF and the energy of the crowd, I've always expected a little more from the band.

Maybe some real random songs, first and only time being played such as Edge Of A Broken Heart or something.... Or some guest appearances... Or have Jon fly through the audience. Something a little more than the usual.

It's going to be the same standard set-list and then he'll make sure that he changes 5 to 7 songs for the people who are attending both nights such as myself. Tonight I'll get Always and Saturday I'll get Bed Of Roses.

That's quite optimistic considering their form this entire tour.

No guest appearances please!! The last time there were guest appearances, they did half of the show, mostly covers.

The only unexpected person I'd be glad to see on stage today is Richie.

But EOABH sounds like a great idea.

Being strapped to a harness might help him hit some of those notes. :D

How many back-to-back dates have they done this tour? Usually this would result in quite a few changes but I can only think of Toronto (?) where they played mutiple nights and there wasn't too many changes if I remember correctly.

Actually, from all the shows I've seen in North America, the energy of the crowd was at its lowest at the shows at Metlife. Despite the show being dreadful, Foxborough had a better atmosphere. The shows in New Jersey never felt like some sort of homecoming to me, there was zero atmosphere there.
