NoteTHREE DAYS BEFORE THE WELL-KNOWN MTV UNPLUGGED SHOW, GEORGE PERFORMED AN ACOUSTIC SHOW FOR THE FIRST TIME AT THE PARIS THEATER IN LONDON. THE CONCERT WAS RECORDED AND BROADCAST BY BBC RADIO. THIS SHOW IS BETTER THAN THE MTV SHOW THAT TOOK PLACE JUST DAYS LATER FOR A FEW REASONS. FOR ONE, "THE STRANGEST THING" IS PERFORMED AND IT'S REALLY SUPERB, FOLLOWED BY BAND INTRODUCTIONS. THIS IS ALSO A BETTER SHOW IN TERMS OF PERFORMANCE, AS GEORGE IS A LITTLE MORE ADVENTUROUS WITH HIS VOCALS AND SEEMS TO BE HAVING MORE FUN. AS USUAL, HE IS BRILLIANT WITH HIS SINGING. THE BAND IS ALSO REALLY "IN THE ZONE" FOR THIS SHOW. AND LASTLY, THE SOUND IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC AND IS EQUALLY OUTSTANDING, IF NOT EVEN SLIGHTLY BETTER THAN THE MTV RECORDING.
