Bon Jovi's set list was... exactly the same as that of the previous show in Denver. One key difference was John Shanks messing up the beginning of "We Weren't Born to Follow", which resulted in Jon restarting the first verse and chorus as an acoustic piece. (There's a video of it below.) Said acoustic version turned out to be way better than the original IMO, and I kind of wish he'd done the whole song like that.

Videos from Salt Lake City
"We Weren't Born to Follow" (acoustic part):
"It's My Life". Probably one of the better performances of this in quite some time. Jon wasn't glued to one spot and he went for some high notes. I'm keeping the faith that the JBJ we know and love is on his way back:
UPDATE 18/03/18: "Bed of Roses":

I'm going to leave the final word on this post to Phil X. If you frequent Wikipedia, specifically the Phil X article, you may have seen his name listed as Philip Eric Xenidis. That isn't his name, however, as he confirmed earlier:

ok. listen up. regarding @Wikipedia , my middle name has NEVER EVER been Eric. i’ve had friends correct it. heck, my own brother even changed it last month but low & behold, it was Eric this morning. my full name is Phil Theofilos Xenidis. Theofilos. it means “friend of God”.— Phil X (@TheRealPhilX) 16 March 2018
I miss this version of Jon (https://youtu.be/RS8nIDH8N2I) I also think that the lack of Richie’s backing vocals really emphasizes how poor and shallow Jon’s voice is now. Will be interesting to see the difference when Richie is back for the Hall of Fame induction.
