They played it many times, even in 1993 - there's even a pro-shot video of it in "Reeling" documentary.

Thanks for the info!

I knew tapes existed! :grin:

Thanks for the info - I never would have guessed the interrupted song was M-Bike - shows how bad my memory is!
I don't suppose you could remember the rest of the setlist at all? Or maybe even find a copy of the tape?!?!

It's possible "jph" is the same jph that runs the (fan) web site:

There is a contact email shown there.

You could also try contacting some of the collectors here:
