Recorded on December 7, 2023 at the historic Salle Pleyel in Paris during the band’s “Thicker Than Blood” world tour, the project delivers a recording that spans their entire career – from their 1989 debut to their latest album “Six”.
“Paris Rising” captures Extreme at the height of the “Six” era. Their 2023 album reached the Top 10 in Germany (#8), Switzerland (#4) and Austria (#6) – the band’s first ever Top 10 albums in three countries – and No. 2 on both Billboard’s Top Hard Rock Albums and the UK Rock & Metal Albums chart.
“Whenever a band decides to record a live album/dvd in a particular city or country, it means only one thing: that place is special,” says Nuno Bettencourt. “It means something to the band. And when it comes to Paris, for over 40 years, it has always been a second home to us. One of the greatest audiences in the world and that’s why we chose it.”
Gary Cherone adds “The people of France always Rise to the occasion! A night we will not soon forget! Forever in our hearts… Merci!”
