Good point. He did leave out a couple songs, some of which you mention, but I have a bootleg DVD of the entire show somewhere, and he definitely DID do Riding the Scree, because the keyboardist executed that solo perfectly, with an entire audience full of keyboard players anxiously holding their breath waiting for him to make a mistake, then cheering supportively when he made it all the way through it :-)
