  • These two shows (early and late) were organized because Neil had to reschedule his L.A. shows for 4/26 and 4/27/91 due to a sickness. SY had already booked a Japanese show for that date, but didn't want to let down the L.A. fans, and arranged these 2 shows.
  • Late show is the last known non-acoustic, non-abandoned performance of "Cinderella's Big Score" (see 11/02/91).
