Who knows, maybe this is the complete show. Opening for GNR, his set was often just an hour long.[/QUOTE]
This was a rare US headlining show, not a GNR opening set. I was there. :-) So no, this is not the complete show. The full set was very similar to Live at Brixton. 'Let Your Heart Rule Your Head' came after the '39 intro, 'Love Token' and 'Since You've Been Gone' were played, and I'm sure some others that I can't think of at the moment.

^ Thanks for info to you as a eyewitness!
As I know they didn't play Headlong in this US tour so the Love Token must be complete, not part of a medley.
Also possibly there was no Spike's Keyboard solo before Since You've Been Gone.
Of course '39 was originally sung before Let Your Heart Rule Your Head. There's a clearly heard cut between '39 and TMLWKY.

Definitely right.
Although they did do Headlong on the second US leg in the fall.

No prob, Bob, happy to help! Brings back a great memory of that show - it was very emotional for both Brian and the fans to have him up on stage again!
And no, I don't believe Headlong was played. Brian probably played a few bars of it as an intro to Love Token, as he likes to do with Fat Bottomed Girls, due to the same drop-D tuning in all of those songs.

But Love Token was definitely complete, with Brian's "argument" with one of the girl singers.
And thank you for putting this version together, and for the upgrade!
