Four Songs, Acoustic, in Paris
Both documents give the same four songs in the same order and call the set acoustic, but they name the place differently: the Pearl Jam Concert Chronology writes Virgin Megastore and Five Horizons writes Virgin Records. Only Five Horizons gives a running time, twenty minutes.
On Monday, February 10, 1992, Pearl Jam played an acoustic set in Paris. The Pearl Jam Concert Chronology places it at the Virgin Megastore; Five Horizons places it at Virgin Records. Both list the same four songs in the same order, and both compare the set with the band's earlier appearances at Tower Records. Neither prints an attendance, and Five Horizons alone gives the set a running time: twenty minutes.
The show
Megastore or Records
The chronology's heading reads "February 10, 1992 - Virgin Megastore - Paris, France (Acoustic)"; Five Horizons' reads "02/10/92 - Virgin Records: Paris, France (acoustic) [20m]". Neither document says which name is the exact one, and neither gives an address, a time of day or a figure for the crowd. Both names are kept here as each document prints them, and neither is taken for the other's error.
The Performance
The set is the same in both, "Wash," "Alive," "Black" and "Porch," in that order. The chronology calls it an acoustic performance similar to the Tower Records appearances in 1991; Five Horizons calls it similar to the previous Tower Records appearances and gives no year. Neither note says more than that.
The Next Step
Copenhagen, the night before, is told in Where the Encore Began. Both documents put the next night in Paris again, at La Locomotive in the Pearl Jam Concert Chronology and at Locomotive in Five Horizons; it is told in Not From Seattle.
Recording & sound
What the Record Preserves
Nothing hangs under this date on the Pearl Jam Concert Chronology's page: its saved markup carries no photograph, ticket or document between this heading and the next, and no file named for the date appears anywhere in the markup. Five Horizons links nothing under its entry either.
Paris on the tenth comes down to four songs, a running time in one document, and two names for the place.
