Notes

First of two concerts given at the Olympia in Paris during the Comets' October 1958 tour of Europe. Portions of this concert were recorded in high quality for broadcast on Europe 1 radio and have since been released on CD along with tracks recorded at the same venue on 15 October.

The 1958 tour was plagued by raucous audiences and riots and the recordings of these two shows include Haley as well as Comets member Billy Williamson asking the crowd to stay in their seats. The recorded performance of Rock Around the Clock is abbreviated due to the Comets having to flee the stage.

Songs known to have been performed during the two shows (as released on CD): Saints Rock and Roll, Shake Rattle and Roll, Rudy's Rock, For You My Love (Al Pompilli vocal), Beecher Boogie Woogie, I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter, Feelin' Happy (Billy Williamson vocal; often mistitled "Jump Children" on CD releases, I'm in Love Again (Williamson vocal), Mambo Rock, See You Later Alligator, Rock Around the Clock, Rock-a-Beatin' Boogie, Tequila, Giddy Up Ding-Dong (Al Pompilli vocal).
