". The initial set included eleven songs from their debut album and three b-sides
: "Subhuman
", "Girl Don't Come
" and "Trip My Wire". For radio festivals, Garbage performed around five tracks, usually starting with "Stupid Girl".
Garbage launched their 1996 tour in Dallas, Texas
by reordering the set, swapping "Subhuman" and "Milk
" around and moving "Queer" to the start of the night. The arrangement of "Queer" is based upon a Danny Saber
remix
of the song. Garbage debuted an electronica
version of "Dog New Tricks" and a cover version
of Vic Chesnutt
's "Kick My Ass
" at the start of the run, while also dropping both "As Heaven is Wide" and "A Stroke of Luck". This setlist remains largely unchainged for over six months, although "Subhuman" is dropped following a performance in Boston
's Avalon, although both the song and "As Heaven is Wide" are intermittently played as an encore towards the end of the run.
The end of 1996 and Garbage's support slot for the Smashing Pumpkins meant that the band finished the year performing an abbreviated set. Apart from at one final headline show in New York
's Beacon Theater, "Supervixen", "Dog New Tricks", "Kick My Ass" and "Girl Don't Come" are retired. Garbage perform a new guitar-heavy arrangement of "Milk" a number of times before it is dropped. The run of shows also saw Garbage debut two songs live: a second Vic Chesnutt cover version ("Supernatural") and their early b-side "#1 Crush
", which later replaces it.
