Tour Itinerary: The tour itinerary for the first Bon Jovi tour included stops at several colleges in New York and Pennsylvania with capacities between two and three thousand. This tour would begin a life on the road for Bon Jovi that would span the next 40 years. ​

Club Xanadu: The success of the single "Runaway," which was released under the name "John Bongiovi," led to uncertainty about how to promote the band. A newspaper ad for their November 1983 show at Club Xanadu bills "Jon Bon Jovi," but adds "John Bongiovi" in parentheses.​
