I got this one from one of the Lou blogs, again. This text file is from lurid_uk's upload in 2008
and it looks like the flac files are from him, too. His track lengths in the info match the track
lengths of this upload. As he also points out this is a mono recording which explains the small
flac file size.

Lou's 1975 European tour was in full swing by mid-March and his voice was
suffering - he sounds very hoarse throughout this show and delegates lead vocals
on 3 songs to Doug. Despite that, this is another great concert, with Lou and
band very tight. If his drugtaking during this tour was at the level reported by
Victor Bockris then it is certainly not apparent from this recording! Despite
his voice problems, Lou puts a lot into his vocals - great versions of "Kill
Your Sons" and "Wild Side", and another chilling rendition of "Kicks". It's also
different to hear Lou himself doing the backing vocal in-fills to "White
Light/White Heat".
This is a reasonable quality mono audience recording.
The show in Marseille is particularly interesting because of the (presumably
extemporised) new lyrics to "Coney Island Baby". To the best of my knowledge,
this is the only time these lyrics were used.
"Coney Island Baby" (The Glory Of Love)
When the sun comes up at night
And you find that everything has turned out wrong
And the midnight sun comes to claim your soul
And you wish you'd never done half the things you've done
Remember the princess on the hill
(She'll love you even though you're wrong)?
And right now she'll come shining shining through
And the glory of love
The glory of love
The glory of love might see you through
When all your 2 bit friends have gone and ripped you off
They said you'd never be a human being
And you begin to regret all the things you've seen
And you wish you'd never been half the places that you've been
Remember that the city is a funny place
Like a circus or a sewer
And some people have peculiar tastes
The glory of love
The glory of love
The glory of love might see you through
The glory of love
The glory of love
The glory of love might see you through
(lyrics by Lou Reed)
