After hearing that good version again (first time in a while), I remain perplexed.
(Brian and Rusty looked a lot less boyish then -- and, man -- Abe was so skinny!!) 
Funny to think Rusty and Brian are older now than Robbie and Hamish were at that show!
Yes, but the magic of plastic surgery does wonders nowadays
It really does! Paul looks just like that guy in the Beatles!

Truly a world tour! I don't think he's done one that extensive since. At least in one go.

Audi, that is staggering! I remember reading somewhere, maybe Pollstar, that the 1993 tour had soft ticket sales in a lot of markets, so about half way through, it was decided to keep going to make up for financial short falls. I also remember reading in Beatlefan that there was to be a third US leg with stops in places like Sacramento and Tucson, but that was scratched.

Nearly every venue on the U.S. tour was a stadium -- a risky undertaking, even for Macca.

Yeah he came to the GA Dome (covered stadium) in '93. Bad acoustics there--glad he has since always come to Philips Arena.

I saw the 14 April 1993 Whitney, Nevada Sam Boyd Silver Bowl ...show was great , the trip and Vegas SUCKED . 2ND Rock Show @ that place and traffic afterward was awful..One WAY IN and ONE WAY OUT

We got out of Aggie Memorial Stadium in Las Cruces, NM fairly quickly. I don't remember any problems.

I really enjoyed seeing him during that tour. His band at the time & his current band are the best he's ever had.
