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.

Milwaukee 1995 was an amazing show. Do you have the final complete set list? My (incomplete) bootleg includes Hey God, Damned, and This Ain't A Love Song. Setlist.fm lists Lie To Me in the encore, and I swear I heard that played. Setlist.fm also shows These Days but not This Ain't A Love Song.
I think the Montreal shows August 2-3 also both included 4 songs from These Days. The summer of 1995 was the band at its absolute peak in my opinion. My favorite time period.
