Aerosmith + The Cribs Part 1 @ Paris Bercy June 29 2010

AEROSMITH + The Cribs
@ Paris Bercy June 219 2010
Part 1

Part 2 ( here)
The Cribs Feat. Johnny Marr

We're getting into Bercy as The Cribs is starting playing, I really wonder what the hell they're doing here opening for Aerosmith.
It might be a rock band but their music has nothing to do with our rockers from Boston.
They are wwaaaayyy to English, even though they've done a decent set no need to tell you that the audience wasn't impressed at all.
They're a club or theatre band certainly NOT an arena band and the music is average.
Some members of The Cribs were watching Aero's set with some of their friends on the side.
Nice to see Aerosmith back in Paris after all the things that went on those last few months with Steven Tyler. It would have been "funny" to see Aero without Tyler ( personal opinion).
Anyway, TYLER is back and kicking ass like never before.

Steven "close-up" Tyler

Bercy is not sold-out but packed.
Really good start with " Love in an elevator" &" Back in the saddle" unfortunatelly things are getting ugly early in the show.
First the sound isn't that good, too much vocals and not enough guitars, hard to hear Joe's guitar clearly.

The stage set up apart from the huge screens in the back is very poor , the lightning's stunning But what is VERY disappointing is the shitty setlist, tonight we had all the shit from the late 80's early 90's : "falling in love", "pink", "what it takes", "jaded", "crying"," rag doll","I don't want to miss a thing" ...
WHAT THE FUCK ???
The Toxic Twins

AERO have done so many great songs, how is it possible to play so many shitty songs in just one set ? Are they trying to punish us or what ?

Steven is back and is looking really fit & rocking like never before and telling funny things between songs or in the middle of the songs.
There's an "ego" catwalk in the middle of the pit and Steven is always on it, Joe is also joining him very often too.
Steven's voice is not as great as before but he's making the show, the mother fucker's a real showman, one of the best.

Joey Kramer

"Eat the Rich":

WAAOOWWW !!!

Aerosmith Part 2 @ Paris Bercy June 29 2010

AEROSMITH @ Paris Bercy, June 29 2010
Part 2

Part 1( click) with video
Joey Kramer

Joey Kramer is having his minute of fame with a drum solo ( hopefully it's not too long), Steven is joining in for a few seconds.
Joe Perry is also having a solo spot singing one on his own " Stop messing around" ...well OK.
Great guitar playing but the vocals are poor.Keith Richards' syndrom.

JOE "FUCKING" PERRY in action !
The last third of the show is fantastic, hard to beat Aerosmith when they're playing their best songs : Sweet Emotion, Baby Please Don't Go ( great version), Draw The Line, Dream On, Walk This Way, Toys In The Attic.
See Ya Paris

Mixed feeling about this gig, they could have done so much better.
With the correct setlist they can kick anybody's ass but NOT tonight.

Green Day Feat. Melissa on vocals @ Parc des Princes, Paris June 20 2010

Green Day @ Parc des Princes
Paris June 20 2010
an all generations show

After playing Bercy a few months ago ( click for review, Pics & Video), The tiny Trabendo (click for...) & L'Album de la Semaine TV show for Canal+; Green Day is back in Paris.
This time for the Stadium Tour @ the Paris St Germain football team homeplace Le Parc des Princes.
As you can see on the Pic below there are still a few seats left in the back but the rest of the stalls (on both sides) is packed.
Once again with Green Day it's a VERY early start (8:00Pm) so I'm 45 min late.
I can't believe what I'm seeing, it is the shittest stage I have EVER seen in a stadium. There are a couple of small backdrops on the sides and a couple of screens and... That's it.
Complete crap compare to MUSE, AC/DC or U2 ( click for Pics of these shows).

The music is... what it is, a funny power pop, Billy is always running, making the audience sing all the time (OOoohhs & AAaahhs ).
Massive response from the kids in the pit, in the stalls where i'm seating it's all age everyone jumping up & down to the music.
Lots of hits & catchy tunes and a few average songs too.
As usual Billy is having a couple of people on stage to sing with him (see video here) giving away his guitar to one of them ( see end of video).
A few pyrotechnics & flames all along the gig, too bad it started so early as we only get the full light show after 2/3 of the show.
So it was like seeing the headlining band with the same conditions as the opening acts on that shitty stage.
They've done extracts from a few covers, including GNR's "Sweet child O mine", AC/DC's "Highway to Hell" and a few others ("stand by Me", "Shout"...)
They had a girl from the audience call Melissa to sing with them on "Longview" (here on video) maybe not the best singer but that teenager girl has turned the Parc des princes upside down with her inner-power.
A bit annoying when they're streching out songs to have the people sing or clap their hands.
