Setlist:
Unknown
Notes:
Supported by Will T. Massey. Acoustic show. Jeff Healey pops in to listen. In 2000 Rob Patterson of the Orlando Weekly recalled this show: 'I even walked out of an Earle solo show at Antone's in Austin, Texas ... one where the junked-up, near-skeletal singer-songwriter, delayed by an unpleasant encounter with the local sheriff's department, took the stage and barely played, like the specter of his own doom.'
06/13/91 Paradise Theater, Boston, Ma.
Setlist:
Unknown
Notes:
Benefit for Fearless Hearts for Homeless Children Foundation. Probably an acoustic show.
06/14/91 Iron Horse Music Hall, Morthampton, Ma.
Setlist:
Unknown
Notes:
Supported by Will T. Massey. Shawn Colvin attends this show. One reviewer wrote: 'He was a wreck. Barely said a word to the audience. Shrugged his way through a set of songs, stripping them of their greatness with a ragged delivery, and a mindless thump of thumb on his hollow body, serving as an annoying percussion track to his lack of passion for the songs we, in the audience, cared so much about.'
06/18/91 Birchmere, Alexandria, Va.
Setlist:

07/--/91 Bird's Hill Provincial Park, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
Setlist:
Unknown
Notes:
Winnipeg Folk Festival. Steve cancels this show. Lauren St John implies that Steve missing this show was the straw that broke the camel's back in terms of his career at this time, but Steve played several shows after this one, including a mini acoustic European tour. Her chronology is, therefore, wrong.
07/07/91 * Shoreline Amphitheater, Mountain View, Ca.
Setlist:
Unknown
Notes:
Gathering of the Tribes Festival. Solo acoustic. A diverse, peaceful crowd. Deadheads and hippies danced alongside skinheads, punks, and art rockers. One watcher noted 'words will never be able to do justice to how bad this performance was to witness as I doubt there were five people paying attention to Steve, which was justifiable I might add'.

Notes:
Early show. Solo acoustic. A fan notes that Steve, "was at a very low point...I bet he didn't weigh more than 130 lbs. Solo acoustic, he was a wreck, the show was pretty awful. Stacey opened, she was good." This quote may relate to the late show, although I think we can all agree that not much was going to change in a couple of hours.
