Trivia

  • Tickets went on sale on 30 October 2010 at 10 a.m., while a password-protected internet presale ran from on 29 October 2010, 10 a.m..
  • This was initially planned to be the second night of Welcome 2 America, but after the show of 14 December was canceled turned into opening night.
  • Tickets sales were initially slow for this date. So much so that everyone ordering tickets for the canceled 14 December show was offered tickets to the show for the 15th as a choice instead of a refund.
  • This show featured the first live performances of Laydown and Black Muse.
