Some sources indicate that "Showroom Dummies/Mitternacht" was played but not recorded. It was probably played like that since they played some songs from the album "Trans Europe Express" in late 1976.
The track list for Geneva 1976 included Tongebirge, Autobahn and Les Mannequins on Side B of the cassette. We got a full track listing but only Side A of the tape from a contact in France, regrettably. Side B has been lost. The closest we have is an instrumental performance from L'Olympia, Paris in February 1976 where Ralf introduced the song as "The Düsseldorf Vampire". It seems plausible that it had lyrics in later concerts but we have no proof.
Did the 1976 concerts actually have showroom dummies or was it just never recorded? (I mean the later ones, like paradiso and london roundhouse)
