Some songs from this concert appear on:

San Antonio – The newly-built Alamodome is christened by Paul and Band performing to 47,000 fans. All tickets for this show are sold out within two hours. Paul is presented with the keys to the city by Mayor Nelson Wolfe and during the show the band is entertained by the sight of a buxom young lady in the third row who climbs on her boyfriend’s shoulders, strips to her bra and then hurls the bra onto the stage as she jiggles to the songs, giving a new meaning to the ‘Hey Jude’ line “the movement you need is on your shoulder”.

Notes from Geoff Baker, Paul McCartney’s publicist – from Club Sandwich 66, Summer 1993

If You Wanna“, a song to be released in 1997 on the Flaming Pie album was performed during the soundcheck, after days of being written (it was written during Paul’s stay in Minneapolis on May 23th)
