Also on the bill with the band that night was Durutti Column. The decision to appear on this famous French festival was certainly taken right away, even if they didn't have much rehearsals then. Hence a bizarre version of The Hanging Garden (drums slowing down) and improvised lyrics on Three Imaginary Boys.
So that wasn't the best performance of the year but the Cure played the Pornography songs a month before the album was released, attracting people's attention. The show was filmed.
