5.0 out of 5 stars Impeccable!, September 12, 2003

By	Manny Hernandez "Author of Ning For Dummies" (Bay Area, CA) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

This double concert album almost runs in my blood: listening to it is reviving some great high school times! On a less personal level, every minute of it is impeccably performed and perfectly recorded, turning it into one of a handful of particularly powerful live albums: I put it up there, alongside Peter Gabriel's 'Plays Live'. To top the quality of the performance and the recording, every single song in it is a Supertramp classic in itself, with "Fool's Overture" being the one that benefits the most from the live performance. This is a must for all rock fans, and if you are new to Supertramp, this along with "Even in the quietest moments" will give you a heavy dose of what this band is capable of.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Reason Why, November 24, 2005

By	Livingstill "Mark" (Meadville, PA.) - See all my reviews

There's a reason why every review of this disc gives it 5 stars. Because it is truly an example of a classic live document from one of rock's more creative groups - Supertramp. The song selection as well as placement AND execution, makes this one a no-brainer. no. You know what makes this one a no-brainer? It is a great LIVE disc. So often I hear a live disc and i'm turned off because the 'magic' somehow eludes the live reproduction. This is definitely not the case with Paris. Top of the shelf walk down memory lane, when Roger Hodgson still graced the stage with supertramp.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magnificent!, September 22, 2005

By	MusicFan (Denmark) - See all my reviews

This CD is a document of an almost perfect live-performance!
What I like most on this disc is the scenes between the songs: For example the introduction to "Breakfast in America" when Hodgson describes the meal on the concerts' eve (with an amusing english-french language-mix):
"We went to a petit restaurant and had langostinos, deux types of spaghetti, une type of ravioli, beaucoup de vin and deux grande espressos. Sorry, but.... it was an italian restaurant..." (barracking from the audience, because the Frenchman wouldn't accept that someone prefers foreign food in THEIR country of "haute cuisine", but then he continues: "... but it wasn't as good as BREAKFAST IN AMERICA!" (Loud cheering from the crowd as the first sound of the song begins)!
If THIS doesn't give you goose pimples, what else does???
