    In-Song Dialogue: We want to thank each and every one of you for coming out and joining us this evening. It's so great to see so many different people in one spot. I think more and more people are waking up to the fact that all of these different peoples have one common enemy. The enemy is capitalism! The enemy is racism! The enemy is oppression, sexism, and homophobia! We invite you all this evening to get involved in the struggle against that!

Show Notes

  • Setlist is taken from a tour report video from MTV. Wu-Tang opened and barely made it to the concert on time. The video features a couple of songs from the performance, including part of a speech from Township Rebellion.
  • RZA joined the band and sang "My Country Tis of Thee" at some point during the encore.
  • A separate, short review indicates that Rage played Darkness and performed Sound of da Police.
