Notes:

Fairview Police Department 1st Annual Showdown. A fan recalls that, "this was a benefit for the local police department ... it was basically a dress rehersal for The Hard Way tour ... it was hot!! Mid 90's and sweltering humidity in the middle of the afternoon, the full band played a full show, nearly 3 hours. The stage was two flatbed truck trailers parked side by side. Great show." This is also Stacey Earle's first show with the band.

Notes:

I was at this show. It was quite simply the greatest rock show (or for that matter any kind of show) that I have ever seen. The crowd was so loud (at times singing Scottish football songs - here we go, here we go, here we go) that Steve had to actually stop mid-song on a couple of occassions. I do think he was a bit pissed off at the songs aimed at Stacey. Despite this Steve generally calls the Barrowlands the best rock venue in the world, but of all the shows he has played there this is the best. A very average bootleg exists, but gives an idea of the intensity of this concert. Show finished at 11.55pm.
