                Notes:

  • The first show of the These Days tour in 1996 and the setlist had undergone some structural changes:

  • Lay Your Hands On Me took the opening slot for the first time since the New Jersey tour. Each time, this song would be preceded by a local marching band “playing” the song on stage while, in fact, it had been prerecorded. But it still made for a good show effect.

  • Bad Medicine earlier in the set than ever before.

  • Not all setlists from 1995/1996 are known, but this presumably marked the first performances of All I Want Is Everything, Something To Believe In and My Guitar Lies Bleeding In My Arms.

  • My Guitar Lies Bleeding In My Arms had a longer outro solo from Richie than on the rest of tour and made, with the song reaching almost the 7-minute mark, for the most interesting performance of this song.

  • Another premiere was the acoustic section: For three songs, the band would come down to a lower stage part in front and play for the audience. This set included a completely re-arranged version of I’d Die For You. Also Wanted Dead Or Alive, while having been performed acoustically before, had gotten a piano solo and In These Arms got played the first time in this manner as well.
