I dunno.... I just pulled the tour program I bought at the SF 
Warfield on April 27, 1991... and it is labelled Performance.  I 
don't have the show on VHS or DVD and have only my fading memories to 
go by.... but I recall leaving the show being a bit disappointed that 
I heard very little, if anything, to deviate from the album versions. 
There may have been small tweaks to the songs... but nothing 
significant.

But like I said.... fading memories... and there was so much 
excitement and so much to take in at once I wasn't very analytical 
that night... :-)
