Notes: This is the infamous show that was shut down due to overcrowding on the first floor. When The Spirit Carries On began, James did not come out on stage on cue and so Mike filled in. After about 30 seconds, Mike informed the audience that they were getting shut down to which the audience roared in response. Mike said they would continue until they were pulled off stage. As they did, Mike encouraged the audience to sing since he couldn't remember the words (which they did).
3 minutes into the song, they cut the power to the PA, but the band played on. Finally, just as they were nearing the conclusion of the song, they cut the power to the actual amps, thus ending the show. Of course, no one left and finally the riot police were brought in to move everyone out.
The setlist was supposed to be Metropolis Pt. 2 (complete) and the WI&WU medley.
