Just to let everyone know. The full April 22, 1992 concert of Painkiller + Houdini-De Sade tribute + Leng Tch'e is available at
www.dimeadozen.org.
It's the infamous concert that cost Zorn a 5/10 years exile from France.
The De Sade homage sounds pretty much like excerpts of Grand Guignol interpolated with readings by Arto Lindsay.

After listening to the concert, I came up with the following setlist:
01) Of Sade-Houdini (John Zorn, Arto Lindsay) (48:40)
a) Grand Guignol (23.30 approx)
b) general improvisation featuring Mike Patton reciting an explicit text (33.30 approx)
c) long solo by Stephen Drury (47.00 approx)
d) grind outro (vaguely resembling Osaka Bondage from Torture Garden)
[in the last minutes, I believe, we can hear the sound of the two dominatrixes whipping each other]
02) Leng Tch'e (John Zorn) (42:36)
a) short intro byYamatsuka Eye (00.46)
b) The Vault (a.k.a. The Inferno or The Catacombs), from the album Radio (4.50 approx)
c) Patton reciting a text (by De Sade?) at the end of The Vault (5.10)
d) intro by Baron to Leng Tch'e (6.54)
e) Leng Tch'e (Eye enters around 25.00, Patton around 30.00)
03) Applause (1:26)
Grand Guignol and Leng Tch'e are brilliant!
