Background

edit

The tour was originally planned to kick off in Japan, but instead, the band decided to headline the charity concert on Melbourne's Colonial Stadium on March 24, 2001, to raise funds for flood-stricken farmers. There were 34,000 attenders and the concert grossed $850,000. Because of the falling Australian dollar, production costs soared close $500,000 and it involved transporting 70 tons of Bon Jovi's equipment in a jumbo jet from the United States. Paul Krige, managing director of Universal Music Australia, said that A$300,000 were made from ticket sales alone. Approximately $50,000 were raised from telethon that was hold nationally on April 15, 2001 by Seven Network, which screened the concert on that day. Proceeds went to State Emergency Services and Volunteer Bushfire Service. Six tracks from Bon Jovi's set were included on Australian only bonus CD of the Bon Jovi's debut live album One Wild Night Live 1985-2001 (2001).[1]

The Japanese leg of the tour kicked off in Yokohama with two concerts in Yokohama Arena on March 28 and 29. The Japanese leg of the tour lasted until April 5. Following five shows in Japan, the band embarked on the first North American leg of the tour on April 18, playing concerts in arenas and amphitheaters. Through May 2001, the band headed to Europe for a month of concerts before returning to United States for a series of concerts that culminated on July 27 show at Giants Stadium in New Jersey.[2]
