Notes

• Our Lady Peace performs in place of Jane's Addiction following Perry Farrell's injury at the show in New York City
• "Neophyte", "Disarm" and "Harmageddon" were on the printed setlist but not performed, possibly due to Billy Corgan's clear vocal issues throughout the show
• Katie Cole is unable to perform due to losing her voice at the previous show in Toronto
