A few days ago I uploaded very rare video footage from this concert on my youtube channel:

Only "When do I get to sing My Way" is missing, because the tape was damaged.

Great show. In hindsight, you can see how it points the way to the future. The new modern arrangements of the older songs are a foretaste of "Plagiarism," and the "unplugged" moments are a foretaste of "Two Hands, One Mouth." Some surprises, like "Singing In the Shower," the omission of 'This Town," and Russell playing drums on "Katharine Hepburn." Interesting how they make "BBC" sound like it's from 1974. And has there ever been a sight like Christi Haydon? Looking like she's at a 1920s cocktail party, wearing one of those Garth Brooks mike-headphone things while she bounces up and down behind a wall of electronic drums--you just don't see things like that every day.
