Peter Doherty @ Jane Club, Paris Sept 25 2013

Peter Doherty @ Jane Club, Paris Sept 25 2013

Another acoustic show by Peter, this time at the Jane Club (former Rock'n Roll Circus where Jim Morrison supposedly died of an heroin overdose).
Only 17 euros.
Show supposed to start at 10:00 but people are still queuing outside when we arrived at the club long after 10pm.
We're still waiting in the staircase to get in when Peter is walking past us to go straight on stage. The club is packed but far from being sold out.
Peter is on acoustic guitar and there is a girl on violin (the same girl from the show @ Bus Palladium a few months ago where Peter complained all the time that he hadn't been paid)
Peter is in fine spirit, a bit stoned as usual, stopping playing when a girl is offering him a book and a letter, he's getting the girl to read some lines from the book then back to normal for some more songs, including new single "Nothing comes from Nothing" stopped before the end as he broke a string. Unfortunately they don't have any spare strings so he'll keep on playing his old beaten guitar with 5 strings. "Last of the English roses" is recorded below so enjoy !
After just an hour he broke another string so that was too much, Peter said goodbye and left as fast as he came
Nice gig .

Anna Calvi @ Album de la Semaine Canal+, Paris Sept 25 2013

Anna Calvi @ Album de la Semaine Canal+, Paris Sept 25 2013

 Very nice 60 min long set with new songs (and one oldie), same kind of music: still very atmospheric (ambient), "Piece by piece" probably not up to the level of other songs.
"Sing to me" being the best song tonight.
She seemed very nervous, not talking to the audience once, she just smiled at the end of the first set before coming to re-play some songs she was not satisfied with, still with no communication at all with the audience and just a smile at the very end.

Anna's concert @ Gaité Lyrique tomorrow (Sept 26) will be streamed live  here

Roger Waters "The Wall" @ Stade de France, Paris Sept 21 2013

Roger Waters "The Wall" @ Stade de France, Paris Sept 21 2013

Last show on "The Wall" world Tour that lasted two years.

Nick Mason at the hotel this afternoon before the show

Roger Waters is playing his last show of "The Wall" World Tour in Paris. It started 3 years ago playing arenas then stadium. Roger Waters has never been so popular.

We saw "The Wall" in Paris Bercy arena 2 years ago for two shows on May 30 2011 (click for pics a nd video) and on May 31 2011 (click for Pics and video). Great shows.

When we're making our way into the stadium, it's a good surprise it's full ( some of the press are talking about 72000 people out of a 80000 capacity).
The wall is already very impressive from the back going from the left hand side to the right hand side.

Show start: 8:40.

"In the flesh" is impressive with all pyrotechnics and the plane is going down in flames on time.

Will be too long to describe all the projections on The Wall, it's the album played in its entirety from the first song to the last with a couple of bits added and a couple of speeches from Roger.
For the people who were @ Paris Bercy , this is even more impressive: everything is bigger and projections are absolutely stunning.

This is perfect for a stadium where you don't have to be standing down the front to appreciate the show, in fact the best seat was in the middle of the pit to appreciate the full Wall projections.

Needless to tell you that the sound is perfect which is very rare at the Stade de France.

 

We met Nick Mason in Paris that afternoon, we thought he might join the band for the finale with all the musicians , in fact he didn't which is a shame, it could have been fun for the last show.

Probably the most memorable show I have ever seen in a stadium

London Grammar @ Fnac Forum, Paris Sept 17 2013

London Grammar @ Fnac Forum, Paris Sept 17 2013

 New English pop sensation London Grammar with the very sexy Hannah Reid on vocals playing 5 songs at the Fnac store in front of a young audience.
They are the flavour of the month in England, nice showcase with some very ambient & ethereal pop songs that reminds you of Lana Del Rey.

The band is doing lots of promo in Paris playing Le Grand Journal (click for video) yesterday night and doing many radio shows so you'll probably hear them somewhere these next few days.
