The Rolling Stones' "One more Shot" Live from rehearsals and other stuff


 The rehearsals are over in France the band is on its way to NYC for some press duties, we have the post-Rolling Stones depression blues and ROCKERPARIS wants to keep the party going.

So here it is THE FIRST LIVE VERSION OF "One More Shot" recorded on Oct 11
The song has been released officially for a few days now, the band has left France so we don't think it should be a problem releasing this LIVE version ,I know the sound is crap but I think this song sounds much better LIVE that on the studio version

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR KIND WORDS ( Thanks Shidoobee)

We've done a pretty good job
We posted ALL the setlists of songs that the band rehearsed from Oct 11 till Nov 09.
We were the first one to share with you the recordings from the studio:
1) First live version of "I wanna be your man" since 1964 or 1965 (according to specialists)
2) the first ever LIVE version of "Doom & Gloom" (here below)

To keep up with the good work

Walking Papers @ Nouveau Casino, Paris Nov 10 2012


Walking Papers @ Nouveau Casino, Paris Nov 10 2012



Cool 75 min set of classic rock with Duff McKagan on bass , Barrett Martin on Drums, Jeff Angel on guitar & Benjamin Anderson on keys.
Duff 's new project WALKING PAPERS is in Paris, not a lot of people tonight, it's too bad, I've heard many good reviews about the album, nothing to do with Loaded. This band is more classic-rock blues orientated.
Cool to see Barrett Martin on drums as we're great fans of Screaming Trees and Mad Season.
We were standing in front of Duff and his bass sound was heavy and greasy as we like it.
They've performed only Walking Papers songs even though some people asked for some Guns songs, Duff felt a bit embarrassed by this.
After the show the whole band went to sign cds and vinyls in the pit specially Duff.
The band left to England, they are playing in London on sunday, they will be back next summer for festivals and some more club shows.

18- That's how strong my love is

19- Little red Rooster

To thank fans for standing outside in the rain and cold for the last 3 weeks listening to the rehearsals from outside and before the band is leaving for NYC , The Rolling Stones have let in 40 lucky fans and some members of the studio staff who are seeing the Stones rehearsing for the first time as only the RS team was allowed into the room.
After leaving jackets and bags and , of course, cell phones & cameras into the lobby we were escorted to a small balcony facing the tiny stage where the stones have been rehearsing since Oct 1st.
Chuck on the far left behind his keyboards with Bernard in front of him, Ronnie on the left, Charlie dead center stoical behind his drum kit, Keith on the right and Darryl on the far right.And Mick all over the place.
We can see that there are paintings stuck on the wall underneath us with the setlist written on it in big letters for each day they have rehearsed. I'de like to get a pic of that as we only have the setlist from Oct 11 onwards (courtesy of us)
They welcomed us with a few kind words and hand-signs
Even though the guys are working, you can see that they're "playing" their part: Ronnie's fooling around a bit, Keith with his trademark "kick" for the first song "Live with Me". Small gig just for us.
After that you can see they are back working properly as if we were not there watching every of their moves.
"One more shot" is started several times with indications from Chuck Leavell  who is coordinating the work on the songs, especially some of the transitions (OMS or Thats How Strong My Love Is")  He is guiding the Stones through it, he's the musical director and Mick Jagger the conductor.

It's really Incredible to attend such an event, we can see the Rolling Stones at work.
 And when Keith is missing a start, he looks at us with a grin meaning " yeah I fucked it up, sorry That's my fault" with everyone cheering but not too loud as we've been instructed not to act like fools as the band is working.
Some people around me have tears in their eyes and can't believe their luck.
This is the FIRST TIME in the Rolling Stones history that they are letting fans in for a rehearsal.

For the next song the roadies 'standing to attention' are changing the guitars and Ronnie is having is Weissenborn ready and Mick is on acoustic guitar. Michel standing on my left and who is the French RS specialist is telling me " They're going to play No Expectations". Hes' right.

For the next song Mick is behind the keys with his iMac in front of him for "Worried about you", Nice falsetto. One take.

MIck is back on the mike in front of the stage for "That's how strong my love is", once again we can see The Stones at work as they are trying different endings with Chuck and Mick's indications.
All along these rehearsals in france Mick's voice has been loud and clear: incredible.
He's done it almost everyday (except week-ends) for the last 4 weeks, 4 hours every day.

We've been there for more than 45 min and mick's assistant is asking him if we have to go, "One more song" he said and we have a blues one " Little red rooster" One take.

The whole band is thanking us several times once again for being there.
we're making our way out in the cold night but we have stars in our eyes forever

50 min of  private rehearsals with The Rolling Stones, once in a lifetime.

Incredible to see the Stones rehearsing the songs with the "false" starts ("One more shot"), the different endings possible ("That's our strong...") the indications, the work, the different guitars, the roadies 'standing to attention'... just incredible
Nice cosy studio with carpets , sofas, catering, dozens of guitars
And a very nice team: security, roadies...

A big thank you to The Rolling Stones to have welcomed us for this 50min  session

There was something wrong as she talked about it a couple of weeks ago then she said that the tour was on and now... 

She wrote a long letter on Instagram: "I have to postpone my European tour until early next year, so I can return home and re-engage myself back into my health regimen."

Too bad we were looking forward to see her in Paris

Steve Miller band @ Olympia, Paris Nov 02 2012

Steve Miller band @ Olympia, Paris Nov 02 2012

Steve Miller is back in Paris just two years after playing the Zénith on Oct 14 2010, this time he's playing the Olympia theatre in the heart of Paris.
Unfortunately and should I say once again it's far from being full, Hard to believe that Steve Miller is not popular in France. Steve has a new album out: Let Your Hair Down full of blues cover but no new material, his first albums before he hit big time with "The Joker" have also been remastered.
The stage is very simple, 2 years ago the backdrop was full of Guitars (see Pics HERE) tonight we have Big ears (?!?), the lightning is bright and the sound perfect and not too loud.
The show couldn't start better with "Jungle Love" Take the money & run" "The stake"...all classic songs from the back catalogue, in fact tonigth we're having ALL the classic songs plus a few blues cover.
Steve Miller is center playing playing some fine guitars, always with a kind word to introduce the songs and the audience is religiously listening to the man, maybe a bit too much as the atmosphere is much too quiet for a rock show, The acoustic part didn't help the audience getting wild.
The encore with "The Joker" had finally everyone standing up and getting closer to the stage, it was time.
Great 100 min+ set, too bad the audience was too quiet. Video of Rock n Me Here
