Support: David Gray. The setlist above is incomplete and based entirely on the memory of two people who went to the show. It's possible that 'Planet Telex' opened the set.

These are the recollections of Robert Jonas:

When they toured with The Bends and played the TLA In Philly, they opened with 'Planet Telex', and some people kind of sat back down. Many were still of the Pablo Honey crowd, and they actually got a bad reception with Jonny playing a keyboard. It was so bad, that after the song Thom said, while looking at Jonny: "Well, this one will wake them up a bit", while strumming the beginning chords to 'Just' and the crowd went crazy. 'Fake Plastic Trees' was played, along with 'Creep'."

This is what Michael Beam remembered:

"Honestly, when I saw the show in '95 I was pretty young (13) and I don't remember the whole setlist. But certainly some songs stick out - 'Planet Telex', 'Ripcord', 'My Iron Lung' and 'Fake Plastic Trees' all come to mind. I'm confident they did not start with 'Planet Telex' because I remember the crazy strobe lights during the song (as seen in other videos recorded around that time) blowing my mind - and I'm sure they waited at least midway through the set for that. It'd be amazing if someone had the setlist from that day, but I'm pretty positive it's a lot closer to the setlists played on all the other '95 US shows, with 'The Bends' starting things off and moving to 'Just'. I guess my memory isn't iron clad, but that's how I remember it anyway. Also, they had David Gray in support for the show.
