On 14 November 1967, at the Palais des Sports, Johnny Hallyday was the hero of a Musicorama broadcast live on Europe n°1. At the back of the stage, 450 spotlights and 800 car headlights provided the backdrop. For the first time, Johnny also used giant screens, where images scrolled while he sang. His role as a hoodlum in John Berry's crime comedy À tout casser in 1967 allowed Johnny to combine two of his passions: cinema and motorcycling. But the filming didn't go very well and he had mixed memories of it. He made up for it when Lelouch, Godard, Costa-Gavras and Patrice Leconte directed him. All lots are priced inclusive of VAT.
