I have been looking for this video forever. I saw this in '96 when it was in Santa Monica and could never describe it to people. thanks for posting.

Thank you so much for posting this! How exciting to finally hear another previously unpublished piece of music from the show--that first 3 & a half minutes. Cool!

Mathieu was still the lead singer with Audrey at the time. Rivage is probably one of the best tracks from Quidam, I remember seeing you guys in 1996. :D

Saw Steven perform at Knott's a few weeks ago with Boom Town. John Gilkey, "ring leader" character, was there watching too.

this video must have been taken after the middle section was longer but before the roll overs were elongated in the final few months of touring it seems? the beat of the song here is a little faster than previously when you guys were in production in montreal, but maybe that is because the balls you were using from japan had to be switched to the switzerland balls and they are a little smaller (therefore the technique faster and hence the faster tempo)??
