Releases information

Originally released in select theatres in October of 1979. It features footage of the Harmonium trip and failed tour to California in 1977 as well as footage from the Fiori-Seguin tour (featuring an almost identical band line-up as Harmonium) in 1978. An almost full version of "Viens danser" is presented along with snippets of Harmonium songs. This mini-documentary contains (as of 2015) the only publicly released live footage of Harmonium, even though many of their TV and festival appearances have been filmed.

3 stars This is the unique chance to see Harmonium filmed live. Unfortunately, because the band was really impressing during live shows with the Denis Farmer's monstrous drum, the Serge Locat's keyboards, the multiple Serge Fiori's guitars.
