Very rare brochure of the 3rd and last international rock festival which was held at the Palais des Sports in Paris. The concert was marked by a general fight and the destruction of the hall by bands of young people from many districts of Paris and from his suburbs. Vince Taylor, who was to be the star of the concert, was unable to take the stage as the security service was overwhelmed. This concert marks the date of the profitable arrival of rock in France but also in the collective consciousness, of the emergence of a new generation bubbling with energy and opposed to the old generations. A clash of cultures. Great rarity.
