Rumoured Songs[]
- Wags The Dog, He Likes To Tango
- "Wags doing the tango" is mentioned in a description of the concert from The Wiggles' Website in 1998. It's most likely that the setlist was changed after that description was written/published, as there are already two songs featuring Wags the Dog in the final show (Tango likely would have taken the place filled by Tap Wags in the final show, if indeed it was performed).
- Zardo Zap
- The title character is mentioned in a print advertisement for the tour. This confirms the song or at least the character was planned to appear in the show, whether or not either appeared in the final show is unknown.
- Wigglemix or Get Ready To Wiggle
- In another reverberated dialogue during the backstage segment between Go Captain Feathersword, Ahoy! and Wiggly Medley in The Wiggly Big Show video, by removing the centre channel from the audio, you can make out Anthony introducing The Wiggle Puppets, followed by their high pitched voices replying. They most likely came out to perform one of their songs from the The Dorothy the Dinosaur and Friends Video, most likely Wigglemix or Get Ready To Wiggle. It would make sense that they came out between Go Captain Feathersword, Ahoy! and Wiggly Medley, giving the actual Wiggles time to go backstage and get into their shaking clothes.
- The poster for the show says "See Pirate Dancers". It is most likely, though uncertain, that this refers to The Wiggles themselves appearing in pirate costumes for Our Boat Is Rocking On The Sea and Captain Feathersword Fell Asleep on His Pirate Ship. However, considering it does show a photo of the pirate crew from TV Series 2 it may refer to another song or earlier versions of the above songs with dancers in pirate costumes.
- It's also likely that a song or long skit was performed between Move Your Arms Like Henry and Go Captain Feathersword, Ahoy!, to allow time for the dancers to change from their character costumes into the cheerleading costumes depending on the time.

Trivia[]
- The stage set from The Wiggles Big Show was repurposed for this tour. It was modified to include a spot for the Big Red Car.
- The tour would mark a number of firsts for the group.
- The first time they would perform at the Sydney Entertainment Centre on an Australian tour.
- The first time Greg would drive the Big Red Car in a live performance.
- The debut of Toot Toot, Chugga Chugga, Big Red Car, Look Both Ways, Our Boat Is Rocking On The Sea, Bucket Of Dew/Paddy Condon From Cobar, Do the Wiggle Groove, Move Your Arms Like Henry & Wiggly Christmas Medley.
- The 1st Melbourne show was performed on the same day that A Day with the Wiggles was released.
- For unknown reasons, the songs D.O.R.O.T.H.Y. (My Favourite Dinosaur) and Bathtime were cut for The Wiggly Big Show video releases and the D.O.R.O.T.H.Y song appeared in the episode "Imagination". Not only that but the whole Sydney concert has not resurfaced and is considered lost media.
- An unseen clip from Toot Toot, Chugga Chugga, Big Red Car was shown in Everybody Clap! Everybody Sing!, possibly hinting that the Sydney concert exists in full in the Hot Potato Studios archives.
- Since Bathtime is actually a Raffi song, it hasn't appeared in any form in an episode of TV Series 2.
