Magma - 1973 - Sous Chapiteau
Our good friend, Robert Guillerault from the Magma Web Pressbook, was recently the recipient of some amazing photos from a gentleman named Jean Jacques Le Moëllic. These rare photos are from 1973, and show the best Magma line-up, the one featuring Top, Olmos, Bikialo, and Grallier.
Robert says that Sous Chapiteau is near Pantin, which is a suburb of Paris. He thinks that this might have been the December 2nd gig, but he is not sure. More information would be welcome.
If it is the show from December 2, 1973, then here is the info that Ork Alarm has on the show:
Théâtre du Présent, Porte de la Villette, Paris (16h matinee - 21h second show)
C & S Vander, Blasquiz, Garber, Olmos, Graillier, Top, Bikialo
If we recall correctly the following morsels were thrust upon us: Köhntarkösz, Theusz Hamtaahk, Ptäh, MDK, Om Zanka, Soï-Soï and Gamma Anterïa.
When you see photos like these, it gives you hope that people still have Magma rarities stored in their shoeboxes.

Doesn't Anyone Have Memories from the June 1974 Tour?
For three solid weeks in June, our intrepid band of Kobaians toured the countryside of England and Scotland. All we have to show for it are two recordings. Doesn't anyone have more stories to tell?

Magma - Sheffield - June 17, 1974
A big thanks to our friend Snukehr (Steve Davis). Somebody on EBay is selling ticket stubs from concerts that took place in the late 1960's and early 1970's, and Snukehr was sharp enough to notice these Magma tickets.
Notice the words on the ticket : "Rarely is it our privilege to heard music of such intensity and integrity." Also notice that the concert was produced by Virgin.
