This is not the original running order but a later edit for TV rebroadcast. It is understood that the concert was broadcast live in two sections (and possibly on different channels) with a gap for other programming and songs repeated in both sections, with the following running order, however no privately held recordings are known:

Section 1:
01. Moving the River
02. Bonny
03. Faron Young
04. When Love Breaks Down
05. Appetite
Section 2:
06. Wicked Things
07. Cars and Girls
08. Goodbye Lucille #1
09. Tiffany’s
10. Bonny
11. When Love Breaks Down
12. Lions In My Own Garden (Exit Someone)
13. When the Angels
14. Cruel
15. Faron Young.


The edited concert was broadcast on German TV (Bayerischen Rundfunks, broadcast date from credits is 2000). There are at least three versions of the broadcast circulating on bootleg DVDs, one with slightly grainy video, and two higher quality video copies with variations in the BR logo. There is no difference in the content. It’s significant as being the only reasonably complete concert video known to exist.

The concert is also currently available on Youtube, and audio rips are available . The audio from the broadcast is a touch thin and toppy with an annoying approximately 357Hz tone audible in the quieter passages.

  1. So was Appetite, Wicked Things, and Cars and Girls actually performed live at this concert and broadcast on German television? If so that is very sad that the dvd is missing those songs. Sure would be nice if someone found them. That being said it is a fantastic artifact since it is all we have. I sure wish there was more live footage from this great period. Also, do you think that there were different versions of the same song in the television broadcasts (if they repeated songs in the concert for the encore)? Okay will thank you for your AMAZING web site which is like manna from heaven since this band is dear to my heart. All best.
