Setlists
The setlist went through numerous different iterations during the tour, never remaining the same for extended periods of time. Due to this changing nature, not all dates are present in the tables below, only those that are known for sure. If one or more dates have an unknown setlist, but are grouped below, then it is assumed they shared a setlist with a known concert. When this is the case, a note will be present to signify this. The setlists of the TV performances on 19 April and 8 May 1997 are also not included here. Neither is the TV performance on 12 November 1998.
