RARE: Neil Young Interview Broadcast in November 1982 on French TV
In response, we received the following link to a rare Neil Young interview broadcast in November 1982 on French TV. (Merci beaucoup VIP! Continuez sur rockin dans le monde libre ! )
The interview takes place at Broken Arrow Ranch, California and includes playback of the album TRANS.
From comment by VIP:
Avec plaisir !
Oddly enough, according to sugarmountain, this Annecy concert was only the second NY concert in France, after a 1976 Paris date on a european tour. Could someone confirm it ? It seems weird, since Harvest was a huge hit in France - and is still as popular as ever : French neo-folk band La Maison Tellier covered the whole album on stage last may and it was sold-out (listen to one of their covers on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnChclkATyU)
Anyway, while in the US Neil's popularity had started to fade by 1982, in France it marked a resurgence, with heavily covered concerts and his first ever interview on French TV :

Neil Young named The Clash as a band he liked repeatedly. I loved hearing him “endorse” my favorite band from my early teens. I missed out on The Human League, but now I must check them out.
