Succubus is track 22 from my new release 'Vava Vol and Zilon Lazer - (1983 - 1987)' and is a clip from a performance '...Is Nothing Sacred' filmed live at the Sayde Bronfman Centre by videographer Paul Antoniadese at the opening of the art exhibition “Montréal Est Au Centre”. Zilon Lazer also did a one hour live painting performance the opening night.
This is a photo of The Essentials before a show at the hip Studio One club in Montreal's downtown core in June 1981.

I was already there with my friends having drinks when they walked in. Our guitar player and lead singer Mick had painted a large promo poster of the band and it was still up on the wall near the dance floor.
After grabbing drinks at the bar, Kraftwerk sat down on a bench below. As I walked over and introduced myself, I told them The Essentials was a band I was in and the poster was from a recent show at the club.
They all turned around to look up and Ralf Hutter said, "Good! Don't stop doing your music! Stay with it!"
That was a tremendously beautiful moment for me and still is!
Then they got up to dance!
Have a look at this cool site:
