Someone closer to the action (Sunila, est-tu là ? M. Thomas Vindrier,
pouvez-vous nous aider ?) can probably tell us more, but my guess is 
that the
show's producers thought Zep's music had affinities with the 
long-standing
French tradition of Surrealism and the theatre of the absurd, so they 
decided to
accompany "Dazed and Confused" with that nonsensical pantomime 
performance.

Other things about the broadcast are striking: the audience, for 
example. I see
maybe two people in the crowd actually grooving to the music. The 
rest seem
bewildered. There's even a woman with a baby directly in front of the 
stage, a
few rows up; maybe the baby was into the music, but s/he spends most 
of the time
hiding in the mother's arms. Maybe s/he grew up to become a fan; who 
knows?

So, is this footage now available on DVD? I'd better e-mail that dude 
Buckeye
was telling us about yesterday.
