Set List Archive -> 1988 Set Lists



The 1988 Hot Water Tour, named for the album of the same name, was unique in that Jimmy seemed to have two different set lists he alternated with. One featured several more songs, so it’s possible that some set lists could be incomplete. But the two set lists did bring lots of variety, as you can see below. The set list also featured some “Hot Water” songs that haven’t been played since.
