Fantastic ! I remember seeing this show on French TV when I as 17. It was a shock seeing it then, it's been a shock watching it again for the first time just now, some 25 years afterwards. It has cheered me up for (at least) the next 25 years.
Thanks a lot, it's a great thrill !
Please, post more of this kinda stuff.

ps: could you, by any chance, help me find a dvd copy of Elvis Costello's Rockpalast show of 83 ?

Any chance you can rustle up a copy of Richman's "It's Time For Jonathan" LP/CD?
