    • Trivia
      It's a cold January evening in Paris 1972. Outside Le Bataclan an estimated 2,000 disconsolate rock fans are milling around in front of the ornate Chinese-style theatre on the Boulevard Voltaire. They are ticket-less and unable to gain access to a concert which would later be considered the venue's most famous. For the first time since the demise of the original Velvet Underground, co-conspirators Lou Reed and John Cale with 'chanteuse' Nico were to perform a one-off acoustic set at Le Bataclan for the benefit of French TV show Pop 2/INA and one thousand grateful fans.
