Setlist

Recording information

There's a (partial) recording of this concert. The setlist is mixed up a bit... probably the way WRTL radio edited it for their radio broadcast in France.

Trivia

En route to Orange a truck with sound equipment had an accident - gear had to be unloaded with the help of some of the support acts. The truck could eventually be lifted upon its wheels again. The concert was only delayed for about 40 minutes.

The DJ in the radio intro talks about a WRTL T-shirt that radio staff gave to Andy, who wore it under his jacket during the concert.
