Notes:
Loreley, St. Goarshausen, Germany. 6/21/97. This is one of the band's last shows with Michael Hutchence, about 4 months before he was found hanged from an apparent suicide (or was it an accident?). Hutchence's problems may have begun in 1992 when he was hit by a cab while riding his bike in Denmark. This accident caused the singer to lose his sense of smell and taste, not to mention caused him brain injury as well. The band maintained he was not quite the same after that experience. In this performance I see a side of Hutchence never seen before. He uses foul language between songs, sometimes rambling and even smokes a joint! Overall, it's a very good performance. Songs include "Elegantly Wasted", "New Sensation", "Never Tear Us Apart", "Kick", "Don't Lose Your Head" and more.
