Setlist

Show Notes

  • This setlist is sourced via three different sources.
  • The first is the Tom Joad 7inch single which features Vietnow.
  • The second source is a short review from Chris Nemeckay on the old tourdates.com website who noted Bullet as a highlight.
  • And finally, the third source is a review published in the Michigan Daily Arts on 1997-09-05 which provides a number of songs.
  • Interestingly, it claims that Fistful of Steel lyrics were thrown into the outro of Freedom.
  • My guess is that Township Rebellion actually closed out the set as per usual but given the jams that Rage was doing in the encore this tour who knows.
  • The only song on this setlist that I cannot source directly is Bulls on Parade but given that it was played every show adding it feels like a safe bet.
  • Possible that some of the songs mid-set are out of order but I feel good about marking this one as complete.

Notes

I have seen this on a handful of old lists, notable by a few Toronto/Detroit tapers. I think this is legit.
