That setlists page is in the midst of being corrected and updated and the new version should be available in the next week or so.
Not gonna post the setlists here, but the shows Ive been at (and the openers - many of which I had to look up as there were many that I dont remember, didnt see or tried to forget) were :
1) Slane Castle, Ireland 24 July 1982 (J Geils Band, George Thorogood & The Destroyers. The Chieftains)
2) and 3) Parc des Princes, Paris 22 and 23 June 1990. (Gun) 4) Hampden Park, Glasgow 9 July 1990 (Gun)
Had tickets for Lansdowne Road, Dublin 16th July but show was cancelled.
5) and 6) Wembley Stadium, London 24 & 25 August 1990 (Dan Reed Network) (final shows of the Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle tour and Wyman's last full gig)
7) and 8) Hippodrome de Longchamps, Paris 30 June and 1 July 1995 (Bon Jovi). Fortunately I missed the opening act on the first night as I had a VIP pass. Not so lucky second time around.

12) and 13) Feyenoord Stadium, Rotterdam 29 & 30 August 1995 (Big Country). (final shows of the VL tour)

15) and 16) Civic Centre, Hartford, Ct 28 & 29 March 1999 (Goo Goo Dolls). (Didnt see them though. Having too much fun in the Hartford Brewery. I didnt get to see many opening acts from here on for similar reasons)
17) Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburgh 4 June 1999 18) Don Valley Stadium, Sheffield 6 June 1999 19) Shepherd's Bush Empire, London 8 June 1999 20) & 21) Wembley Stadium, London 11 & 12 June 1999 (all shows with Sheryl Crow as opening act.

22) Madison Square Garden, New York 26 September 2002 23) Giants Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ 28 September 2002 (both shows with The Pretenders. Saw the last five minutes of each)

26) Twickenham Stadium, London 24 August 2003 (Starsailor) (I had tickets for the show the day before, which was postponed until 20 September. I didnt go back for the rearranged show) 27) Astoria, London 27 August 2003 (the Thrills) 28) Wembley Arena, London 29 August 2003 (best Stones gig I've ever seen) (Feeder) 29) and 30) SECC Arena, Glasgow, 1 & 3 September 2003 (I flew home the day in between for 18 hours. It worked out cheaper) (Idlewild opened) 31) and 32) The Point, Dublin 9 & 11 September 2003. (Cooper temple Clause opened the first night (the worst band I've ever heard in my life) and The Thrills the second night) 33) and 34) Wembley Arena, London, 13 & 15 September 2003 (Tim Burgess on the 13th and The Darkness on the 15th). I had a spare ticket for the 13th and sold it to a complete stranger on the street, who just happened to be Mojoman)
35) and 36) Madison Square Garden, New York 18 & 20 January 2006 (Metric) 37) Olympiastadion, Berlin 21 July 2006 (Feeder) 38) Palais Nikaia, Nice 5 August 2006 (Kasabian) 39) and 40) Twickenham Stadium, London 20 & 22 August 2006 (Feeder/20th, Charlatans/22nd) 41) Hampden Park, Glasgow 25 August 2006 (The CHarlatans)
42) Estadio Alvalade, Lisbon, Portugal, 25 June 2007 (Jet) 43) Estadio Calderon, Madrid, Spain, 28 June 2007 (Jet) 44) Slane Castle, Ireland 18 August 2007 (Frankie Gavin, The Hold Steady, Tinariwen, The Charlatans) 45), 46) and 47) The 02 Arena, London 21, 23 & 26 August 2007 (the Kooks, Jet and The Enemy respectively were the opening acts each night). (Final shows of the ABB tour) (I think the only 2006-07 shows where I saw the opening acts were Nice and Slane)
48) 02 Arena, London 25 November 2012. (No opener) 49 will be Hyde Park on 6 July.
Just looking at that list and shows #1 and #44 were the only ones where I was able to go home the same night. All but four (#31 & 32 being the others) necessitated at least one flight and/or journey by boat.
