The FM broadcast is mostly (the first five) Nico and harmonium doing some
Desertshore, but the boot's epic closer features Tangerine Dream. Oh, and I failed earlier to clarify that the show was at Notre Dame in Reims, not Paris.

When I went to a friend's house the other day he was playing some great-sounding early Tangerine Dream, and thus prompted the listen.

As a result, the Roman Catholic Church denounced these actions, ordered the rededication of the cathedral and banned future gigs on church property.

Years later, under the sponsorship of filmmaker David Lynch, Jocelyn Montgomery would try and rethread the path taken earlier by Nico. But within the confines of the Reims cathedral, the sincerity in Nico's delivery cannot be fudged or mistaken for anything else.
