Show Notes

  • Setlist comes by way of a MTV News Report that calls out Bulls as the opener, Vietnow as the third song, Tire Me, and Freedom as well as a recording by bootlegconfession.com.
  • There were two encores: the first opened up People of the Sun, and the second Roll Right.
  • This is the last known performance of Wind Below and given their touring schedule I doubt that it was played again after this.
  • Zack tells the crowd it's Brad Wilk's 34th birthday after Fistful of Steel, and speaks about the Zapatista movement in Mexico before Wind Below.
  • Apparently Without a Face was dedicated to the United Farm Workers, although it's not on the recording.
  • This show was annouced the day before or a few days before so we're incredibly lucky to have a recording from it!
