The man has fantastic songs, band was neat, probably our best show this year
free concert, rockin'

rockin'
Best heavy Metal band, great setlist, kicking ass like never before
another great concert even though paul 's voice is now very weak
great show , too bad security was a pain in the ass
with Josh Homme on drums, average songs for an average band it probably saved our life on Nov 13
3 days of music on a beautiful site near switzerland, 5000 people max, lots of great blues bands, felt like holidays
great to see Richie after all these years, music is ok but Richie can still deliver
free concert outdoor, nice set
Kicking ass
August
Rock en Scène Festival with FFS ( another great show) , Benjamin Clementine ( average) The Libertines (overated band with very average songs and poor playing), Etienne daho ( better than expected)...
September
Jay Jay Johanson @ Plaza Athénée Hotel
Short set in one of the hotel's room, nice
Crosby Stills & Nash @ Olympia
Every time we saw them these last few years they were great, at their best in 2015

very poor concert, too bad
Stunning venue, great set even though we've never heard the new song before, we stayed there a couple of days and the weather was hot: Holidays
L'évenement de l'année, la fausse reformation de Téléphone.
Putain de concert

tres bon musicien
tres bon musicien

un des rares chanteur français écoutable
un des rares chanteur français écoutable
superb once again with Horses played for head to toe
2 shows , playing mostly tunes from the last two records and a miracle happened: his voice was listenable.
one of the last bluesman alive , a legend
cool set
November
Poor show , average songs, in fact I realized they were shit
great concert better than with Depeche Mode, electric but respectful atmosphere
felt like seeing Mad Dogs & Englishmen alive
good rock concert, not their best though
well... too many average songs , nice stage if you're seating on each side of the huge screens
first concert after the terrorist attacks, a relief...
great double bill, both delivered great sets
great composer/songwritter, classy
December
better than the november shows, with Eagles of Death Metal and Patti Smith as special guests for the encore, one each night
Music is crap, most of the time she's not singing live but the show is stunning with dancers...
free show for 1200 people: nice for the fans but the band sucks badly
Bertignac est un "killer" à la guitare, petite "surprise" avec 4 titres des insus pour le rappel afin d'annoncer la grande tournée de 2016
2 charity shows with Patti Smith, Thom Yorke, Flea and others... Patti was rocking as usual, Thom Yorke played a couple of new Radioheads songs which made the headlines in the whole world the day after, Flea as mad as you expect him to be
our last concert of the year, a legend from St Germain des pres

ROCKERPARIS' list of TOP 10 Rock concerts of 2014 & The Worsts...
ROCKERPARIS' list of TOP 10 Rock concerts of 2014 & The Worst...
THE BEST CONCERTS:
.jpg)
.jpg)
1) THE ROLLING STONES
We attended only 3 shows on this Tour @ Stade de France, Circo Massimo & Werchter festival and I have to say that we had a blast each time even though they were probably far from being their best shows on the tour.
Each time we were in the Golden Pit ( Platinum for Paris) with a great view, we took some nice Pics, our favourite was probably Rome @ Circo Massimo (though not their best show) because of the location and the fun we had for 3 days in Rome, probably the most beautiful city in the world.

2) AC/DC Video shooting for "Rock or Bust" in London, Black Island Studios.
A dream come true : attending a video shoot with AC/DC. Not a proper concert but the highlight of the year for us.
Too bad Phil Rudd was NOT there but being with the boys for a couple of hours in such an intimate setting was perfect. If you're looking closely at the official video and extras you can see Rockerparis in the audience. That was Christmas before it's time.
3) ENNIO MORRICONE @ Paris Bercy Feb 04
Just in the middle of the Rolling Stones's rehearsing @ Bondy Studios, Ennio Morricone playing his famous soundtracks in front of a sold-out Bercy. I've never seen so many people on a stage: 86 piece orchestra and 75 voice choir.
Amazing concert and we could met him before the show and get my "Good Bad Ugly " American Vinyl signed by the master himself.
Then we did a few other concerts that we will remember for 2014:
Prince, concert n°1, 6:00 pm @ Zénith, Paris June 01st 2014
Two shows in one day, you don't do this everyday

THE WORST show of 2014:
YES @ Grand Rex, Paris May 13 2014
By far the worst of the year is YES, After reading our review written straight after the show, I Guess that we were a bit rough... in fact NO. Boring music played for & by boring old farts.
We have nothing against Prog, we're great fans of RUSH but this crap was beyond everything...
We've also attended a few disappointing , average or boring concerts:
Bryan Ferry @ Palais des Sports, Paris , Nov 21 2014
I guess he was sick. Very average show
Mlle K @ L'Album de la Semaine, Canal+, Paris Dec 08 2014
just boring, no good songs at all
The Do @ "Coming up session #1" France Inter, Paris Sept 24 2014
electro pop boring
Herbie Hancock & Wayne Shorter @ Olympia, Paris July 15 2014
Very disappointing concert, we were expecting a lot from these two legends but it turned out very... de-constructed and experimental...

We can ad this two as well:
Jack White (2nd show) @ Olympia, Paris June 30 2014
New record not as good as the previous one and a bit disappointed by the show even though it was an overall good show

Cat Power solo @ Gaité Lyrique, Paris Oct 30 2014
Very strange concert, she was confused for the whole set, ending songs prematurely, not remembering her own songs, but we still love her very much , she's so sweet.

The Year in Rock 2014 by ROCKERPARIS
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...

Ennio & Rolling Stones with Bobby Keys

Depeche Mode @ Paris Bercy Jan 29 2014
Warpaint @ Album de la Semaine
Feb 2014
rolling stones rehearsals: one month of rehearsals in Paris which culminated with a secret private show for 27 lucky fans in the rehearsals studio in Bondy. After numerous attempts to organize a proper club gig in Paris that never materialized.
Ennio Morricone @ Bercy:
the best of the numerous soundtracks of the Master with more than a 100 musicians and chorists on stage in a sold-out Bercy.

We were expecting MT but no sign of the gunslinger, maybe tomorrow ?
Chances of having The Stones playing a "secret" show @ Trianon on Feb 10th... well... I give it 10% ( Note: only MY personal opinion)
It could be in another club (on the same day ???), maybe the Trabendo one more time (?)

TOP 10 Rock concerts of 2013 (and the worst) for ROCKERPARIS & the events of 2013 to remember.
TOP 10 Rock concerts of 2013 (and the worst) for ROCKERPARIS & the events of 2013 to remember.
THE BEST CONCERTS:
1) BLACK SABBATH @ Paris Bercy Dec 02
It is our most recent memory, Fantastic gig by Birmingham legends, Bill Ward not included, too bad.
Always suspicious about OZZY's vocals on stage (live or tapes? ) Nevertheless they've rocked Bercy
No need to tell you it is one of our favourite band
2) BLACK CROWES @ Cigale June 27
Great come-back gig from the Crowes in Paris with a best of setlist
Without Blac Sabb playing in December , it would have been on top of the list.
3) THE WHO @ Paris Bercy July 03 (Part 2 here)
Quadrophenia is one of my favourite Who album, show was fantastic, perfect conditions for us, 5th row in the pit with people seating in front of us so we had a prefect view. Great sound, lightshow...
4) BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN @ Stade de France June 29
Another 3h+ concert by The Boss maybe not as fantastic as the concerts from last year @ Paris Bercy.
Hes' playing a stadium and it felt like a club gig !
Once again almost perfect show for CSN, lots of great tunes, both shows were terrific.
6) ROGER WATERS @ Stade de France Sept 21 (part 2 here)
Last show on the 2 year tour for "The Wall" in Paris @ Stade De France. He played a few shows the previous year in Paris, we've been to 2 out of 4 in Bercy.
Roger is still miming almost all the vocals so it's not a concert but more a "show" but it's faultless.
Still have part of a brick at home
7) BABYSHAMBLES @ Place de la République July 08
Short 30 min come back gig from Peter's Babyshambles but it was rocking
8) SIXTO RODRIGUEZ @ Cigale June 05
Sixto's resurrection for this set after the catastrophe of his concerts @ Zénith the previous days
Well it's hard to say anything, it was one of the event of the year, these 3 shows @ Grand Rex theatre, we've been to the 3 of them.
Is he a genious ? is he a real bastard that doesn't give a shit ? I Guess he's both
Is he a genious ? is he a real bastard that doesn't give a shit ? I Guess he's both
10) JACK BUGG , MILES KANE& ANNA CALVI
JB @ Album de la Semaine Nov 20 2013, MK @ Olympia Oct 30 & Hotel de Ville July 18, AC @ Gaité Lyrique Sept 26 & Album de la Semaine Sept 25
THE "let down" CONCERTS:
Peter Doherty & Babyshambles @ Zénith Oct 03
Very average show By Peter & Co, blame it on Peter's being wasted once again too bad specially after the gig @ Republique.
@ Olympia Oct 22 Once again Peter was probably too wasted to turn up and the show was cancelled at 11pm
We were expecting to see Sixto for the last 4 years, when we discovered his music a few months after he played the Nouveau Casino in 2009, all we had was a drunk old man lost on stage, very sad.
Fortunately he came back to life @ Cigale a couple of days later.
CAT Power @ Olympia July 17
Don't like the new album and we couldn't really get "into" the show
Arctic Monkeys @ Album de la Semaine Sept 11
Great band but the singer's attitude trying to impersonate a crooner from the 70's is ridiculous and completely ruining the gig, too bad, some songs are great specially when Alex is on guitar for the faster songs. Too many slow songs either
