Paul performed "American Tune" in the first part of the tour - at least through March, 1991.

I´d Love to hear the March 7th show as well, it´d be great to hear him perform "Born At The Right Time" the day before my birth.

The 1993 concerts in South Africa have a slightly different set list because they include more songs from Graceland, like Gumboots.

The setlists weren´t that uniform. Paul shook up the BART setlist frequently. "The Coast" alternated with "Further To Fly" at the early shows, but then Paul settled on "The Coast" for the rest of the tour. "Proof" wasn´t performed until early March but then it became a standard part of the setlist. "Gone At Last" and "Mrs. Robinson" were added toward the end of the tour. "America" was substituted for "American Tune" fairly early on, I think in reaction to the first Gulf War. Paul moved "Cecilia" from the main set to the encore after the first third or so of the tour. Paul did some one-offs also: "Homeless" at Uniondale, L.I. and "50 Ways" in Pittsburgh. He would throw in little changes like singing "In The Still Of The Night" during the "ta-na-na" part of "Diamonds" at the Chicago show.

Don´t forget the change toward the end of the tour where "The Cool Cool River" went straight into "Bridge Over Troubled Water."

He Did Homeless and rearranged the set at Uniondale because Ladysmith joined him at the end of the show that night.

During the Australian leg of the tour, he did a medley of songs by the indie band Slowdive.

I must have slept through the Slowdive part of the shows :-) He did do Scarborough Fair and Hearts And Bones totally acoustic here in Australia,unlike the Hearts And Bones at CP91 where the band joined him halfway through.

At Central Park, he tripped and almost fell, then blew the intro to "America." That was all edited out in the official releases, of course.

While we´re talking about mistakes, in Chicago, Armand blew the bass solo in "You Can Call Me Al."
