'The Black Session' captures a ferocious performance from Wire. Recorded at Radio France's Paris studios, the band performed in front of an invited audience.

Famously, John Peel once described The Fall by saying that they were "always different, always the same". To extend that description, Wire are simply always different - and that's why they're important.

Now embarking on the third phase of their career, Wire have not lost any of the artist vitality which drove their nascent punk phase. Returning with 'Red Barked Tree' in 2010, the band took off on a lengthy tour.

'The Black Session: Paris, 10 May 2011' captures a ferocious performance from Wire. Recorded at Radio France's Paris studios, the band performed in front of an invited audience. Obviously relaxed, Wire chose to mix material from their recent incarnation with a smattering of early cuts - including the classic "Map Ref 41°N 93°W".
