I don't think that's so far out of the realm of possibility. Jon can do what he wants. He could have repeated the KOS/Jovi formula the following night. Instead, many fans said that they found the idea of Jon being onstage before the Jovi show with KOS to be not-as-exciting--Jon can't make that entrance onto the stage with Jovi to the same applause if he's already been onstage with KOS! Might not have the same 'effect' (imo). Also, some said they wouldn't mind KOS as an opener, but didn't want to see them onstage all night.
So, what happens at Darien? KOS opens with no Jon. Jon appears with Bon Jovi, they do a Jovi set (and apparently just a couple of songs with KOS).
