"...A very contrasted show, they played very loud, maybe too loud at some times but there were some great times with some fucking good versions of Ceremony, Your Silent Face, Temptation and a very great end with a memorable version of Blue Monday. ...Very good atmosphere in the audience and the band seems enjoying to be in Paris." Thanks to Thierry Dory! 

"The mc introduced the band as "those five lads from Rochdale", but of course only four lads took to the stage. Also, spray-painted on the speakers on stage was "VIVA SALFORD". Great show by the boys.

Bernard and Hooky were in fine form, and the "assistant guitarist" Filthy Phil Cunningham played some hot licks, with the occasional impersonation of the Pete Townsend windmill style of playing. During the show, Bernard made his football supporting allegiance plain, when he enquired of the audience "Any Manchester United fans in?". A few cheers went up, and when he carried on with "Any Liverpool fans in?" he received even louder cheers, to which he retorted "Well, you can all **** off, the lot of you". Hooky gave one of his drumsticks to an appreciative fan on the front row and threw the other into the balcony. Two supports came on: Benjamin Biolay and Bosco, who tried hard but unfortunately got a mixed reception including some boos, but hey we did not come to see them."

So it appears that there may be some confusion in terms of what happened on which Paris date, since the above appears on the audio ascribed to 11 Nov 01, but which could be from this night instead.
