The second intimate promo gig in support of The Resistance.

Information

This concert was announced on the 2nd of September, while ticket sale and venue details were broadcast at 08:00 through French Virgin Radio, on the morning before the concert. Tickets were available to people paying at the venue's doors only. Although ticket sale was first stated to have been open to people paying with cash only, this was a mistake. It was in fact open to purchase with cash, cheque or credit card.

Muse got on stage 30 minutes after the planned start.

During Time Is Running Out, in the last verse Matthew Bellamy sang "bury it, I won't let you sm... bury it".

Media

A couple of fan recordings can be seen in a YouTube playlist here.

The official recording of Resistance was included in the German promo CD-R of the single and can be found here.

The bands' photos of this Paris gig and the later gig at the Taratata show (taken by Hans-Peter Van Velthoven and Tom Kirk) can be seen in a gallery on the official website here.
