Yes, both bands had roughly 90 minutes. Surprisingly, there appeared to be more people for The Flower Kings, the attendance seemed to decrease slightly after the intermission. I found it surprising because SB were officially headlining and in my opinion put on a much more punchy gig. I quite enjoy TFK but have always found them a bit boring live, with very little interaction with the audience. The fact that they played very few songs (because of their length) made their gig seem much shorter than Spock's (but looking at the start and end times they did have roughly the same length).
Unsually for Paris, the venue apparently had a 10:30 curfew which means that Ted Leonard asked for TFK to come back to the stage only to be told that the show was over. SB were almost rushed offstage, it was quite frustrating. So no encore with both bands onstage this time.
