Jean-Claude labeled this "1971? arenes du Grau du Roi". Any more info would be appreciated. Ork Alarm has the following information listed about a venue called Grau du Roi.
1970-09-05 Le Grau-du-Roi, "Belin Biscuits" Contest
There is also another photo from Jean-Claude from this concert. It's a photo of Jean-Luc Ponty, and the caption says that JLP was a guest of Magma at this concert.
Update: Our friend Akoutikus sends proof of this concert in the two scans below:

According to Rock & Folk n° 45 (October 1970) this is the correct date.
ReplyDeleteThe article mentions date, venue and the presence of J-L-Ponty (who played with Michel Graillier) but it doesn't say if he played with Magma.
This show was a sort of contest sponsored by "Belin", a well-know brand of biscuits (see behind CV's back).
