Friday, 4th April 1997

Location / Mexico City, Mexico
Venue / Palacio de los Deportes

The first show by the band in this city since September 1993 on the Adrenalize tour

The third time at this venue with Mexican band Guillotina in support.

The venue is located in the city centre and within a complex that also houses the Foro Sol stadium and Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez race track.

It was opened in October 1968.

The band ended the 'Adrenalize' tour here with two shows in September 1993.

'Breathe A Sigh' was played at this show but dropped for the next show in Mexico City and replaced by 'When Love & Hate Collide'.

As with the two 1993 shows this show had the back seats behind the stage filled with fans - making it a kind of in the round concert.

The show was filmed by a fan - not the complete concert. The recording is shot from the back of the venue with the quality very shaky. Both 'Foolin'' and 'Animal' cut off quickly.

9 songs are shown in full. Joe plays an acoustic snippet before it cuts away to a press conference. The band played in a charity football match the day before this show as they had in 1993.
