2014 is now over and we've done a short list of concerts, month by month, that we will remember for this year. 2014 was very quiet concertwise, several times we only went to a handful of shows for a whole month so this short selection isn't our list of the Best shows we've been to this year.
Just a good way to remember this year 2014:
L'Année 2014 a été assez calme, petit récapitulatif de quelques concerts, pour chaque mois, afin d'avoir une vision d'ensemble de l'année qui vient de s'écouler...
