Overview: You
would think that this tour would suck. No new material. This is the third tour
with the same material. BUT, for some reason, they pulled it off. This was
heads and tails better then the last two tours. I think the main reason was the
band was finally comfortable with the material.
The Songs That Were Played:
"24.000 Baci" (Adriano
Celentano)
Played just the way it was in 1995,
but somehow lacking something. A high point of the tour, none the less.
"Drug Me" (Dead Kennedys)
This was played exactly the same as it was in
1992.
"Ei Raat Tomar Amar"
(Hemanta Mukherjee)
This was generally played after Travolta. This
version was FAR inferior to the 1995 and 1996 versions.
"I Feel For You" (Jerry Reed)
"If You Had My Love"
(Jennifer Lopez)
Another end of song type thing,
which only consisted of Patton singing the lyrics over the end of another song.
"Say My Name" (Destiny's Child)
Another end of song type thing,
which only consisted of Patton singing the lyrics over the end of another song.
"State Oppression" (Raw Power)
"The Stroke" (Billy
Squier)
This was played exactly the same as it was in
1992.
"The Thing Strikes" (Henry
Mancini)
This was played exactly the same as it was in
1992.
"What The World Needs Now Is Love" (Burt
Bacharach)
A great
song. This was done very dramaticly, with a great instrumentation, and Patton
crooning.
Ars
Moriendi
This was similar to the album version, with the
accordion and violin played by a sampler. This song sticks out as one of the
worst songs on this tour in my opinion. It came off lifeless and boring at
every performance. The use of samples totally killed it.
Chemical
Marriage
Played the same as on previous tours, with ‘Love
Is A Fist’ inserted into the middle.
Desert
Search for Techno Allah
Played the same as on previous tours, with minor
differences in keyboard tones.
Goodbye
Sober Day
This song was, for the most part, played as it
is on the album, with the difference coming in the “kecak” section, and the part
immediately preceding it. Both were more “rock”, with different guitar parts. Click Here for an mp3 of the middle section.
Merry Go
Bye Bye
This was played fairly similar to the album
version, with the difference coming in the middle. Instead of what normal goes
there, they played a medley of songs from ‘Raging Wrath Of The Easter Bunny’. Click Here for an mp3 of the medley.
My Ass is
on Fire
This was played similar to the arrangement
debuted in 1996, but cleaned up and stream lined a bit. A good addition to the
tour.
None Of
Them Knew They Were Robots
Played as it is on the album.
Pink
Cigarette
Played similar to the album version, but with a
piano intro.
Retrovertigo
Played close to the album version, but without
out all the cool production.
Sweet
Charity
Played just as is on the album, with a slightly
different ending. Trevor sang the lower vocal parts, AND they were sampled as
well.
The
Air-Conditioned Nightmare
This followed the album version, with the big
harmonies in the “surf” section all coming from a sampler.
Travolta
Ok. They played this almost every night. The
same way as always. Always a dull point in the set list.
Vanity
Fair
This could have been done well, but sadly
wasn’t. All the harmonies were sampled. The only saving grace is the ending,
which is a repeat of the main chords and melody, but in a “punk” style. Click
Here for an mp3 of the “punk part”.
