Followed a rendition of Chaos And Disorder (made available several days afterwards on his 3121.com website) and then a rare version of I Like It There (the 5th known live rendition of the title at the time) from Chaos And Disorder album. All Shook Up, an Elvis Presley cover, came next, before a rendition of another rare track live: Empty Room (the 2nd live performance of the song that year).
