Definitely Paris. The large avenue, the pavers (which have certainly disappeared since), and the bar on the right, with the mention PMU (official betting agency). I'm quite sure I have other pictures of the session. They played Pavillon Baltard that year (maybe the same day), and, while the concert went perfectly well, dozens of crazed fans destroyed subway wagons and a station after the gig. This episode didn't help to improve the image of Metal in France. It was the very moment I began to listen to Maiden, and a few years later, when I asked if I could go to a gig of the World Slavery tour, my parents mentionned that episode to refuse. I had to expect Somewhere on Tour.

Didn't the fans show better behaviour in 1983? That's what your parents should not have overlooked.

Well, in a perfect world yes, but they choose to recall the bad events. And I have to say that I've been pretty lucky to attend the 1986 gig. A few months before, there had a bombing campaign in Paris, which affected the subway and large streets (for instance a large FNAC building) and my parents absolutely refused to let me go in those conditions. But the campaign, which was linked to a Iranian issue, stopped and I was given the permission. All this came to mind again when I booked the ticket for Download and learned just afterwards of the Bataclan slaughter.

I made this today. This will resonate with people watching the new season of South Park and Play Classics fans.

Not my collection, but it's damn impressive.
