After comparing to another 77-May-28 recording and the band members on the above recording, the show can ONLY be from 77-Oct 2-5, with 77-Oct-5 being the most likely date, as it was also at the Hippodrome, and that Hillage is playing to a French audience (he speaks in French during the entire show, though he obviously sings in English). The date mistake probably came from someone knowing it was from the Hippodrome and just assumed it was the most popular 1977 show at the Hippodrome, 77-May-28. Here are the other known France dates with this lineup (which only existed for one brief tour). Tim Blake was also on the bill for these 4 shows only, the only shows I can confirm that Hillage and Blake shared the bill. 77-Oct-2: Parc des Expositions - Colmar, France 77-Oct-3: Grenoble, France 77-Oct-4: Bourse du Travail - Lyon, France 77-Oct-5: Hippodrome - Paris, France Here is the actual setlist and band members for 77-May-28.
