------------------------------------------------
Alastair Dickson: The following year, I seem to recall that the Magic Band played Paris, either financed by or at a benefit for a French Trotskyist group ... And continuing on interesting concerts, around 77, wasn't there a double-headed Magic Band and Prime Time concert? That would have been wonderful, given that they were the only two bands to be operating a sound based on 2 guitars playing very different lines.

Robert Williams: One of my favorite shows was the one we played in Paris on November 11th, 1977 at the Hippodrome. There were ten thousand kids under the big top that night.

John Gray: How did it go in Paris at the Hippodrome?
Don Van Vliet: The people were dancing to Trout Mask Replica music! I mean dancing! In France!
