the first appearance since 1992 of the "Use Your Illusion II" song "Pretty Tied Up"; a version of the U.K. Subs' "Down On The Farm" from their 1993 covers album, "The Spaghetti Incident?", that hasn't been played since 2006; the live debut of The Stooges' classic, "T.V. Eye", with Duff McKagan on lead vocals; and, the first time the "Appetite For Destruction" track "Anything Goes" has been heard live since 1988.
