Both Kathleen and Becky are somewhat correct with their argument: They started touring the USA in late July and the New York/New Jersey era got the first 4 or 5 shows (Jones Beach and Camden). This was still the point where the tour (setlist wise) transformed from the Crossroad to the These Days tour and at that point it was a far stretch to get more than maybe 2 TD songs at a show.
As the tour progressed and especially in September/October they had started to change the main structure of the setlist by dropping older SWW album cuts like Wild In The Streets and I'd Die For You and cementing around 5 new tracks into the the standard set (Hey God, Something For The Pain, These Days, Lie To Me and and Damned were rather regular with This Ain't A Love Song being a semi-regular). So the experience of the "These Days" tour was different at that point.
What Kathleen hinted at were probably the European shows in 1996 which had a completely different setlist structure and at least 6-8 album cuts per show with songs like Something To Believe In, Hard Letting You Go and My Guitar Lies Bleeding In My Arms being added to the above mentioned tracks. These 3 were, if I'm not mistaken, never done anywhere in the USA to this day.

Exactly - the Jones beach and Camden shows were the only shows near me - nothing in New Jersey or Manhattan. There were 2 These Days tracks played in Jones Beach night 1. The night I went - night 2 - there were NO These Days songs played. Also it was the last time I heard Dry County until 2006. Camden had the same 2 played at Jones Beach - Hey God and This Aint a Love Song. As far as I remember this was the 1995 Crossroads Tour. The These Days Tour was 1996 and never came here.
