The Paris show from June 1976 had never been officially released in full before, so having a polished, band-sanctioned video of it, from the heyday of the band’s European 1976 tour, is a major archival win.
As part of the 2025 Black and Blue reissue, audio (both studio and live) comes with a new mix and remaster, making old material feel more immediate. Even live material reportedly benefits from improved clarity and better balance.
The concert captures the band in a transitional but energetic phase. Tracks like live versions of “Hand of Fate,” “Fool to Cry,” and “Hot Stuff” benefit from raw but spirited playing. One reviewer notes that the live concert “will thrill you even if you own the previously released live album.”
