Info: The band opened the concert with fast rock tune Came Unglued which all french fans knew from Pressure Drop EP, released two weeks before the show. Because the long play album wasn't released yet, the audience didn't know most of the songs. That's why Ju Ju Hounds played lot of covers including Highway 49 by Howlin' Wolf, The Surfaris' Wipeout, Ronnie Wood's Take a Look At The Guy or punk version of Bo Diddley's Pills and also a song called Goodnight Tonight which Guns N' Roses played in early years.

Info: The set isn't complete and probably not in right order. Ju Ju Hounds are back from Japan to continue the Australian tour. Many Australian fans were waiting for some GNR tunes, same as it was in Japan or Europe, Stradlin: "In Australia, there was a guy in just about every front row yelling for Dust N' Bones or something, and I'm hitting a chord every time they shout, going, 'What?!'. I can understand people wanting to hear that stuff - we were gonna rehearse some songs - but in GN'R, I didn't have any singles out. I wrote Patience but I didn't sing it. We just figured, 'Fuck it'. I don't miss those GN'R songs cos the stuff we've got now is better - better written, better to play. It's totally free form; we break things down, extend them. If I come in late on a verse or miss it, we'll just look at each other and Rick will keep going, do a solo or something". A really funny (scary) thing happened to Izzy after the show: "This kid came up after the gig in Newcastle, and goes, 'Will you hit me?' I'm like, 'What? I'll shake your hand, man, have a guitar pick', but he wanted me to hit him! That was a weird request".

He changed the lines in Cuttin' The Rug from 'I'm feelin' lucky...' into 'I'm feelin horny, cause I've got the will'. It took some time for the band to switch from acoustic guitars in Time Gone By into electric in Rocker. After Jivin' Sister Fanny Izzy said: "So it's called Shuffle... it's a new single coming out". The single was released on week later. And after Shuffle It All some of the fans were screaming for GN'R song: 'play November Rain' but Izzy just answered: "This is about smokin' and rollin'!!" and Ju Ju's played Train Tracks.

These five days before the first show of European leg the band spent at Stockholm's Sheraton Hotel jamming and preparing for the No Sleep Till Dublin Tour. The set of this show isn't complete - Bucket O' Trouble is the only known song played at this show. Izzy: "In Stockholm, we started with Bucket O' Trouble and everyone was in a different fucking key, man! After the first few bars you could feel your stomach turning; it was bad. I was looking over thinking, I don't know who's in the right key, but when we came to the verse, somehow everybody went back to the right key, the A. It was just one of those things. Rick's going, 'Maybe we should just do that every night, start it out all fucked-up and then click into the A!'. It happens. You gotta flow with it".
