The Show: During the month of October 1996, BA spent some time promoting the 18 Til I Die album various countries. No more was it obvious that his record sales were sagging than in the fickle US market. As a result, BA's fall tour of the US never happened and he only did a handful of concert dates. This concert from Disney World (BA's first time) in Orlando was in front of a smaller than usual crowd - even for US standards. The audience was filled with radio contest winners from around the country and other lucky individuals who were able to find a way in. About 2500 were in attendance. Well below the size of audiences BA was performing for in Europe only three months prior. The gig is very loose and BA is particularly chatty with the crowd. Dave Taylor gets picked on during the show as being the oldest guy in the band. There is no obvious break between the end of the set and the encores which is rare. BA even plays a shouted request from the audience. It's a good 20 song set but due to the nature of the venue, no Bstage happens. As a result the concert is two hours long instead of an additional 20-30 minutes. Seeing how close the video camera is to the front of the stage, it's probably a good thing there is no Bstage since the footage would have been filmed from so far away. The Songs: The Recording:
