Cat Power Postpones European Tour 2012

Cat Power Postpones European Tour

It's now Official !!!

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

The theatre was full tonight (all 3 levels) with numbered seat downstairs for vips and 1st balcony then unreserved for the rest.So I guess it was sold-out in this 1600 capacity theatre. Not sure if there was anyone on the top balcony, Haven't checked.
Security was tight, to get in and during the show, impossible to take pics , except for our photographer Patrice Guino, but he's the Man.
The band is on top form starting with it's only Rock'n Roll, no one seems to know the next song "all down the line" from where we were but downstairs down the front it was rocking with musicians from Americano-French band Moriarty, they could easily get tix for tonight as the bass player in the band is the son of M Carmignac who introduced the band on stage.
During "Miss you" Mick Jagger had a few problems with his ear'monitor and had it fixed by a roadie on the side of the stage: he was furious. so we had an extra guitar solo by Ronnie and of course a groovy bass solo by Darryl.
Once again Mick pushed Ronnie several times on the front of the stage.
Keith Richards ' playing is kept to a minimum which is very worrying.Ronnie is now holding the house together taking all the lead.
Bernard Fowler is back with the Stones (He rehearsed with them for the first time one day after the Trabendo on Oct 26, setlist below for the completists). -Now that I think of it I'm pretty sure that I saw Bernard backstage @ Trabendo-
Jagger is playing guitar on "Doom & Gloom".

The not so funny bit was when Mick Jagger talked about a letter M Carmignac sent to French President François Hollande (probably complaining about taxing the rich a bit more ) and Mick laughed with all those bankers saying that "he never read (or heard of any of ) Hollande's reply".
As soon as the name of Hollande was heard everybody booeed.
He also asked if Hollande has been invited to the gig ! With the audience laughing !
It really shows what a cunt Mick Jagger has become : a rich laughing with the rich
No surprise that's he's charging his fans so much for London & Newark, disrespectful for the working class who have bought and are buying his records. What a fucking shame !
The biggest Rock'n Roll band playing & laughing with bankers and brokers !!! so sad !

Anyway enough of politics it was a great show !!! Glad we could make it.
75-80 min set (?)
