NOTES
- Black Session #27 hosted by Bernard Lenoir.
- The earliest professionally recorded version of “Zombie” known to this day (earlier versions exist and are audience recordings).
- Early versions of the songs “The Icicle Melts” and “I Can’t Be With You” (still untitled at that time and was simply identified as “New Song”)
- A rare performance of “False” (acoustic)
- “L’inrockuptible”, named after the French rock magazine, was the original name of the show which changed to “C’est Lenoir” after a few years and mainly known under this last name to this day.
- “The Black Sessions” was the name of the concert part of the show where bands performed live on-air in front of an audience. Sometimes the show aired pre-recorded performances with no audience, in that case it was called “The White Sessions”
- There was not a concert on every show. The very first “The Black Sessions” performance was in February 1992 and the very last in June 2011.
