MUSE @ Paris Bercy, Oct 18 2012

MUSE  @ Paris Bercy Oct 18 2012

Well well well, we saw them a few times a few years ago including one time at the Trabendo club in Paris in front of 600 people.
Now this band has become superstars , filling up stadiums.
Surprisingly they only play one show @ Paris Bercy, it was long sold-out and touts are making a fortune outside.
Muse has always made some efforts to get a great stage with lots of lightning, this time they do have a pyramid and screens EVERYWHERE, I mean literally EVERYWHERE.
Sound is neat and Bellamy seems to enjoy what he's doing unfortunately we don't.
Musically it's getting worse with each album, this band is turning into a Genesis of 2012 and we hate that prog shit.

If the stage wasn't that beautiful we would have get bored all the time, even when the songs suck there's something interesting to see so...
Glad they played the old stuff at the end
They were just above average !

The Rolling Stones' rehearsals in France, Oct 2012

Rehearsals  (with Setlist)  of Oct 15 is HERE
Rehearsals (with setlist)  of Oct 16 is HERE
" I wanna be your man" audio from rehearsals is HERE


UPDATED Oct 16 with CORRECTED SETLISTS:

The Rolling Stones have a new Best Of... "GRRR!" out soon with a couple of new tracks recorded in Paris at the end of August.
As the band is getting ready to play a couple of shows at the O2 Arena in London at the end of November and a couple more in NYC at the beginning of December and maybe some more...

We left Paris for the country side for a couple of days to (try to) listen to the rehearsals, nice bet as we heard many songs from their back catalogue and a couple of new ones including "Doom & Gloom" (here on audio) and "One more shot", which was a world exclusive for us, as the song has never been heard anywhere yet.
Rehearsals started at the beginning of the month and will end in a couple of weeks.

-Here's a list of songs that were rehearsed on Oct 11 (not in order & corrected):

Miss you, It's only Rock'n roll, Tumbling dice, You got me rocking, Let it bleed, Sitting on the dock of the bay, respectable, far away eyes, Doom & gloom,One more shot,  paint it Black, I wanna be your man, Not fade away, Brown sugar, If you can't rock me, some girls

-Songs rehearsed on Oct 12 (in order):  CORRECTED on OCT15

Bitch, All down the line, rocks off,Dead flowers, Last time, Honky Tonk women, Going to a gogo, Ladyjane, Down & Gloom, One more shot, shine  a light, can't always get..., happy.Before they make me run, sympathy for the devil

To answer all questions: YES we do have recorded "One more shot", don't know if we'll post this one as we don't want to be in trouble with the Stones or people working with them... maybe later but the song sounds a bit like "doom" , less rock more groovy with a better chorus. It would have been my choice for the first single instead of "Doom"
We may post "I wanna be your man" as we love The Beatles over here.

The Rolling Stones' new track "Doom & Gloom" available & rehearsals in France

The Rolling Stones' new track "Doom & Gloom" is now available it will be part of another Best of... that is called "Grrr!" with a nice looking artwork (picture below), full tracklisting here.

 There is also a new film on The Rolling Stones: "Crossfire hurricane" (150 min) that will be out on dvd (I guess so) to be shown live in cinemas across the Europe (except France for the moment) on Thursday 18 October. Funny enough it's on the same day as Led Zeppelin's "Celebration day".
The band will attend the Premiere @ Leicester Square in London the same day.

Maybe they will announce some live shows as Keith Richards confirmed that they will play a couple of shows in London at the end of november ( 2 shows at the O2 on Nov 25 & 29 ?) a couple in NYC in december and maybe a few more including a club show in Paris at the end of the rehearsals, as it's no secret that the Rolling Stones have been rehearsing for the last two weeks in the south of Paris at a secret location.

In order to celebrate their 50th anniversary there is a collection of jewelry @ Agatha Paris.

setlist

Cody Chesnutt @ L'Album de la Semaine, Paris Oct 08 2012

see ya there tonight for this TV rexcording @ Canal+

Great 8 songs set from the new album including an unreleased one at the end, playing with an all English band, 8 musicians in all including 2 backing vocalists,  that is with him for only 3 days (That's what he told us) even if it's hard to believe as the band is very tight.
Lot's of great up-tempo soul songs in a Marvin Gaye style, funny how Cody looks, acts and sings like Marvin Gaye.
Great entertainer that is leaving the stage to come and sing closer to the audience, have the people sing several times the chorus in an extended version of a couple of his songs and as a preacher comes to shake hands and gives his blessing, well sort of...
After seeing so many black singers impersonating Mr James Brown (Charles Bradley for example) it is nice to see that Marvin Gaye is not forgotten.

Led Zeppelin French Premiere (press) screening of Celebration Day @ Paris' Gaumont Opéra, Oct 03 2012

 LED ZEPPELIN's "Celebration Day" Press screening @ Gaumont Opéra
Paris, Oct 03 2012 10:00PM

Early wake up call this morning to attend the Press screening of Led Zeppelin's new cd/dvd to be out on November 19 in the whole world and with Premières in France @ Gaumont-Pathé movie theatres on Oct 18, check Pathé Live for the cinema listing playing the movie.

As usual in France, many journalists didn't turned up, I guess it was too early for them so we had plenty of space to enjoy the show.

Recorded live @ The O2 Arena in London on December 10 2007. 

5 years, it took them 5 years to finally released it.

Needless to tell you it's AMAZING.

It's taking the band a couple of songs to get into it ( "Good times bad times" -" Ramble on"), you can feel the tension on their faces, for the third one "Black Dog" things are getting more relaxed,then for the rest of the show starting with  "In my time of dying" it's faultless.

Recording is perfect of course, Robert Plant admitted that he re-recorded a couple of things, Page probably did too. They also edited out a couple of chat between songs.
Hard to believe that after such a gig they, in fact Robert, never wanted to play again, even though a show at the Stade de France was planned for the summer of  2008 and ... never happened.

The show is really how I remembered it from that Fantastic night @ the O2 Arena, Yes ! Rockerparis was there to attend such an historic event.

2 hours of pure Magic & Rock'n Roll.

It's a must see, specially in a cinema on a big screen.
