"She's in a Bad Mood" was instrumental.
After "Shaking Hell", Lee says that the band will stop and play a second set, but the circulating recording unfortunately cuts during "Good and the Bad". I was contacted by somebody named Andy who taped the show and he was able to provide the rest of the set list (e-mail no longer active, please get in touch with me if you're out there, Andy!).
Reinhard Eggersdorfer writes to add further information: "I Wanna Be Yr Dog" and the improvisation Andy mentioned taping likely had "guest" performers from the audience, including Reinhard himself on bass, someone named Anatol on tambourine, and the Swiss tour manager on guitar. This may have just been a turbo-sized jam on "I Wanna Be Yr Dog" but sadly, without hearing the tape, we may never know...
Lee says they did an improvised rap song.
Lee's journals also indicate that their tour driver Christof played bass on an impromptu jam called "I Can't Stop It" - I don't know if this is separate from the infamous rap.
As the band tells it, they weren't allowed to stop playing, and the crowd became more and more drunk and began to come onstage and play instruments. After one guy wore out his welcome on drums, they wrapped him in duct tape and he started having a seizure or panic attack of sorts. Evidently it was quite a wild gig!
