disc one:
back in the good old world
hoist that rag
you can never hold back spring
dead & lovely
two sisters
gun street girl
no one knows I'm gone
trampled rose
I'm still here
two nineteen
smuggler's waltz
if I have to go
serrano
I beg your pardon
murder in the red barn
take it with me
two sisters ( reprise )
the heart of saturday night
disc two:
earth died screaming
on the other side of the world
never let go
blue valentines
jesus gonna be here
how's it gonna end
buzz fledderjohn
fawn
little drop of poison
picture in a frame
burma shave
shiny things
night on earth theme
foreign affair
jayne's blue wish
