Unreleased studio outtakes, from PA (disc 2 tracks 10 & 11)

An excellent show, easily one of the best from the tour. A number of tracks played here - 'Proud Mary', 'Billy jack bitch', 'Race' and 'Superhero' - were featured less and less often as the tour progresed, so this is also one of the longest shows. The bonus tracks are taken from the videos played before the show began. 'P control' is only a snippet as only a short portion of the video was played.
