The Who performed at the L'humanite Festival in Paris in 1972, led by vocalist Roger Daltrey and guitarist Pete Townshend. The festival was held in the city's largest square, Parc de La (I was in France late in the summer of 72 ...but not there, this concert was Sept 9th)

A slight correction to your post.
Yes, in 1848 it ran dry due to ice.
What you pictured was the 1969 event that dried the falls. This was done by the Army Corps of Engineers.
When Niagara Falls Ran Dry—Twice
Two events separated by over a century gave visitors a look at Niagara Falls without the Falls. And it may happen again soon.

As the geologists worked, a walkway was built to accommodate tourists eager to see the dry landscape. When the geologists finished, the dam was knocked down. It took less than a day for the Falls to do the rest, flowing normally later that night. (Scientists decided to leave those boulders alone, thinking it was better not to mess with nature.)
If you think this was a sight to behold, there’s a good chance it will happen again in our lifetimes. The state of New York intends to dewater the Falls at some point in the coming years to repair two 115-year-old pedestrian bridges that lead to Goat Island. Only the flow of the American Falls will be diverted, which makes up roughly 15 percent of the water. While the remaining flow will be 15 percent stronger, visitors will still see a portion dewatered. New York State just has to get the $26 million in needed funding to make it happen—something nature accomplished for free back in 1848.
53 years ago today, April 4, 1971, the final episode of Hogan's Heroes aired. It ran for 168 episodes from September 17, 1965, to April 4, 1971, on the CBS network. Bob Crane starred as Colonel Robert E. Hogan, coordinating an international crew of Allied prisoners running a Special Operations group from the camp. Werner Klemperer played Colonel Wilhelm Klink, the incompetent commandant of the camp, and John Banner was the inept sergeant-of-the-guard, Hans Schultz.
(I've been watching some of these old episodes. Still entertaining)
