1984-12-17 Bercy, Paris, France
Notes
DM playbacked two songs on a French show called "Cote D'Amour" in January 1985. Before the performance, the host did a very short interview with them. A recording of this episode was uploaded by someone named 'Jean Marc' on YouTube in 2013, but his account got deleted due to copyright violations. However, a fan also copied it onto their channel. This is a transcript of that interview:
Interviewer: I saw you at Bercy, I had the impression of almost, like, being at a James Brown concert or something, the mass hysteria. Is that what white kids do?
Dave: No, there was black kids as well. If you looked around.
Alan: Actually, there weren't many, were there?
Dave: Well, no.
Alan: It was a good - very good concert. We thought it was one of the best on our whole European tour. We were very pleased with it.
Dave: Sort of 'top of the tour' really, we had virtually finished up in Paris, and so the concert was really good. You know, we didn't know what to expect, we hadn't played in France for a long while. And it was a great suprise to us, to see how the fans-
Alan: -The last time we played in France, we probably played to 500 people or something, you know.
Dave: It's a bit of a difference, from 500 to 16,000. (laughs)
Matt Fretton was the support act.
