The context

In Bordeaux, as everywhere else, it was very difficult to get inside the concert hall
(an ice-skating rink!) with a tape recorder of this size and of this weight (look
at the picture : http://www.saturn-sound.com/images/jvc%20cd1635%20mk2.jpg). Hard work
to be honest...
At this time, I thought the "baba-cool" way was the strategy to use for this kind
of concert. So a hudge red mountain backpack, which everybody from the staff could see,
was used: the bigger it was, the easier it was to get inside! This was effective.
Small bags were searched thoroughly, but not mine.
In event of being searched, I remember, I put some smelly socks (specially prepared
for this event...) at the top of the bag.
For every concert of this kind, I used this strategy and nobody tried to open
the backpack, luckily for everybody... as the result is : this super performance.
Thanks Peter. During the show, Peter spoke french (well done and very good French).
I remember when he gave us his point of vue about the French movie "i comme Icare".
He tried to share the lack of conscience each of us has. Definitely, I love this man.
