Yeah, I wonder if they actually filmed that day? I know the 19th was filmed cuz I have that and it's one of my top favorites. They were definately in a mode in those days. I've said it before, but I love how they would put Bad Medicine as the 2nd song, play the crap out of it, yet no false ending or dragging it out and getting it over with. It's like "ok we have to play this, but lets get it done with and get down to business" and then tearing into either Hey God or All I Want Is Everything.

It wasn't just the the songs they were playing that were fairly rare, it was also the performance of the mainstays that have always been there....such as Runaway. At a glance it might not seem different.....performed electrically as it always had been known.....but vocally it was done differently.....mournful.....conveying the tragedy of the song and in the end, fitting it better. I actually prefer these performances over the original and its one of those moments where you don't have to complain that Jon isn't screeching out the end parts anymore. The only thing I would change about it is using the original ending they had back in the 7,800F days or as heard on the "One Wild Night Live" album."
