Notes So we continue on the bizarrely long tour of France in the fall of ‘93. Sixteen shows across the country in one month. From the opening Intolerance, you realize Danny's drums are mic'd up well. The toms are rich and clear and the snare is gunshot blasting – a sound consistent across and distinctive to these ’93 French shows. The mix tonight is one of the best of the French shows as well. And I don’t know, this could be the best sounding of Stephane’s ’93 recordings. My mind has changed about 5 times on that one. But it’s goddamned powerful.

Mother of fuck, Jerk-Off is madness and the clear highlight of the show. “DIEEEEE!!!” is shit-your-pants powerful. Danny and Paul smash and crash the song to a big ending, though even this is anti-climactic after that scream.
Danny is really banging it here tonight. His fills are extra-crisp and fierce and he’s all over the downbeats and accents. It’s hard to find much fault in these French recordings. They are must-to-be-having-in-my-collection type shows.

And again, Paul introduces a song (Prison Sex): “This song is called French People Suck.” MJ chimes in, “Especially the ones that smoke.” Yet another in a long line of MJ’s grievances about the smoking in French concert venues.
