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.

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