Katerine @ Black Session #319 C'est Lenoir
France Inter radio, Paris Oct 25 2010

Katerine is still promoting his latest album with some private shows this time it's a Black Session after playing the Studio SFR (we were there, click for review and Pics), L' Album de la Semaine or the Maroquinerie club for Deezer.
When we saw him at Studio SFR it was our first time and we thought it was complete crap: music and lyrics. Not even funny.
We didn't really changed our mind tonight even though it wasn't as bad as last time.
Why this guy is so popular in France is still a mistery to me.
Maybe we don't have ANY sense of humour.

Robert Plant & Band of Joy @ Palais des Sports, Paris Oct 24 2010

updated with setlist

Robert Plant & Band of Joy
+ Justin Adams & Juldeh Camara
@ Palais des Sports, Paris oct 24 2010

Robert Plant has a new toy: The band of Joy ( after Alison Kraus) and they're playing for the first time in Paris.
Robert already played here many years ago on the "Manic Nirvana" Tour, the concert hall has changed a lot , it is now one of the most beautiful venue in Paris ( capacity between 2500 & 4000)The Beatles have played there in 1965 and Richie Blackmore played his last show with Deep Purple in 1975.

Even though the place isn't sold out it's hard to find an empty seat.
Justin Adams & friend is opening to the packed venue.Justin was the guitar player with Robert Plant, he's now back to the World Music. Not really the kind of music that I like a bit too Arabic & African for me.

Very simple stage for Robert Plant, just a small backdrop featuring the cover of the new album and a few lights.
Very relax atmosphere as most of the songs are mid-tempo and from the new album.
Things started getting hot when Plant played his first Led Zeppelin song " Misty Mountain Hop" (click for video) and all the confortably seated froggies rushed down the front ( It was all seated).
Robert thought it was funny " Allez les Bleus" he said.
He still has a beautiful voice but doesn't really push it as the songs are really quiet maybe too quiet for some of us.
We'd like to see him rock a bit more but it won't happen tonight.
Robert was reading the lyrics to every song includin the old ones on a book in front of him.

The other musicians had a solo spot first was his guitar player & producer (the old hippie with the hat above) singing one then the other guitar player sung one too with Robert on the harp in the back.

A couple of other Led Zep songs were played "Tangerine" (here on video) "Gallows pole", "Houses of the holy"and a slow version of "Rock 'n Roll"

SETLIST (tbc): Down to the sea, angel dance, house of cards, please read the letter, Misty mountain hop, twelve gates to the city/Wade in the water, Tangerine, somowhere trouble don't go, satisfied mind, move up, satan your kingdome must come down, centraltwo-o-nine, monkey, houses of the holy,You can't buy my love, Tall cool one, Gallow's pole ENCORE Harm's swift way, Rock n roll, and we bid you goodnight.

Last song was very quiet " I Bid you goodnight" as was most of the show
Good gig if you like the new record otherwise a bit too soft.




" Tangerine" & new song:

Relax atmosphere !

Big Brother & The Holding Company @ Boule Noire, Paris Oct 21 2010.

Big Brother & The Holding Company @ Boule Noire
Paris Oct 21 2010

The original members Peter S Albin (bass) & Sam Houston Andrew III (on guitar)

After celebrating Jimi Hendrix ( he died 40 years ago on Sept 18), it's time to celebrate Janis Joplin who died 40 years ago on Oct 4th.
Big Brother... her band is still touring. Unfortunately one of the original guitar player died a couple of years ago and tonight the drummer isn't there.
So we only have Peter (on bass) and Sam ( on guitar) plus Mary Bridget Davies as Janis Joplin

The singer's great, you close your eyes is it's like Janis' never been away.
See setlist for details, lots of youngsters in the audience.
The original members proved us that they still can play, there's a great "new" guy on the guitar.
Very cool night listening to Janis' songs


'Piece of my heart":

Great voice !
