The final night of the first leg of the Pyromania tour of Europe and the UK.

A number of older songs would be played for the last time including 'Lady Strange', 'Overture' and 'Rocks Off'.

These songs were retired from the show in advance of the US tour which would begin just a few days later.

The tenth French show of the Pyromania tour. They would return to France in October/November 1983 and play 13 more headline shows.

At 23 dates in all, this was the most shows played by the band in one country outside the USA on any tour since they began headlining there in April 1983.
