Flying in the Face of Love
Fall At Your Feet
Distant Sun

Something So Strong
Pony Ride
Don’t Dream It’s Over (Neil dedicated the song to the late Phil Everly, incorporating most of “All I Have To Do Is Dream”)
Weather With You
Locked Out
I Got You
Better Be Home Soon (Before Neil launched into BBHS, a large rubber dingy appeared out of nowhere onto the stage, Neil then proceeded to perform the song lying in the dingy. After finishing the song, Liam & roadies carried Neil, still inside the dingy, off stage)”
