Comments:

Source first archived in 2004.

Not the "sousmarin" source - this seems to be a different recording entirely, with better sound and featuring the entire show.

I believe Zappateers currently has this original source down just as "CB - 1977 11 19 Paris FR 89.23 AUD (???)".

Tape sometimes stopped between songs, only the first few notes of "Click Clack" seem to have been missed.

Speed corrected (slowed 4 %) in Adobe Audition, Jan 2020, now runs 93.11 min.

Don considered this show to have gone very well, being enthusiastically received by a very large crowd of French students, speaking in glowing terms to more than one publication in the days afterwards.

Note: like many CB amateur show tapes, this show has been released as a commercial bootleg which you can find on amazon and elsewhere. I'll gladly stake my uploading priveleges on the unwavering belief that this release is not legitimate!
