1982-06-04 Aix en Provence [by Laurent C.]

from Laurent C.:

I remember going backstage, meeting the guy's in their room which was a very basic camper van.
Everybody was really exhausted and the singer of Zera one (the opening band) was really wasted. He might have benn under the influence of drugs, for what I remember...
I've seen them in concert 7 times, but this first one really left its print on me. The show was extremely intense and violent, Simon totally exploded is bass guitar during the song "pornography", banging it on the floor several times lefting it plugged in and completely destroyed when leaving the stage (i am not talking about his 4300 rickenbaker, but if I remember it was a precision bass), before coming back for an extra couple of songs. The rumours said that the show was filmed, and I even went back to the concert place (it was a dance club) to meet with the owners... but never got a chance to find who might have filmed it...
