Bryan Adams served as the opening act for the tour, supporting his breakthrough album, Cuts Like a Knife; during the tour, he penned "Heaven", which was heavily influenced by Journey's "Faithfully."

In a review for the Dallas show, a journalist wrote for the local Fort Worth Star-Telegram:

Drawing card that he is, Perry isn't the group's only talent. Neal Schon, lead guitarist and a hard-driving singer in his own right... and keyboardist Jonathan Cain's instrumental talents were displayed in a spectacular solo intro to 'Rubicon'. Drummer Steve Smith and bass guitarist Ross Valory also had their moments to shine.[1]
