In the remote chance that someone is interested in knowing the details, here's the setlist from the 5/8/93 gig at First Avenue in Minneapolis, MN.
Ku Fu Fighting was the final encore, but I can't recall what was between that and COT, if anything.
The setlist that I have is the one that was taped to the floor by Robyn's monitor. I was up front watching the show positioned in front of the monitor on Robyn's left. Good place to watch a show.
I didn't get the chance to talk to Robyn, although I did get Andy and Morris to sign my copy of 'Element Of Light.' I guess I'll have to track down Robyn on his next tour and complete the autograph collection.

Helloo. I saw Robyn a few nights ago and "he rocked my ass." It was an amazing show and it lasted for about 100 minutes. I met him with my friend Craig before the show in the lavatorial facilities and we talked to him about his set list. He did not play anything new, like "Rabbit Train" but he did play "Kung Fu Fighting." I will type in a full set list when I remember to bring it with me to school.
"Wafflehead" is a lot better live than it is on the record. He was dancing around as if he were possessed by the ghost of Morrissey. It was an entertaining evening not soon to be
forgotten.
His twelve-string electric guitar that he plays is a "Set Zero." He told us that he liked to play it better than he liked his Rick. He told us after the show that the reason he got the Rick was because it seemed the rockish type thing to do. The guitar belonged to the guitarist from "Hanoi Rocks" and Robyn bought it from him and has played it ever since.
During "Kung Fu Fighting" he was karate chopping the air and jumping all around the stage as if he were Bruce Lee reincarnated. Oh well I won't take up anymore space or time until I type up the set list.
Cheers!
