Also on the bill with the band that night was Durutti Column. The decision to appear on that famous French festival was certainly taken right away, even if they didn't have much rehearsals then. Hence the weird version of The Hanging Garden with drums slowing down and starting again after the guitar solo. Some lyrics were improvised on Three Imaginary Boys as well. Not the greatest performance by the Cure but they played the Pornography songs one month before the release of the album, attracting people's attention.
