Comments

Last of the french shows, near the village where the band members use to spend holidays or just take a rest. It was used as a headquarter during the European leg of the tour. Two different sources were mixed to make this recording, and the sound quality of the output is tremendous, really powerful with music and vocals coming through crystal clear. Crowd noise is noticeable, but they just add live feeling. Note that the final work is a little bassy in a pair of concrete spots (I Will Follow, for example). All in all, *outstanding* sound quality.

Standard setlist was played that night. Fans who attended the concert reported the band delivered a tired impression.
