KISS @ Hellfest 2010

Queens of the Stone Age + Masters of Reality @ Trianon, Paris, June 19 2013

Queens of the Stone Age + Masters of Reality @ Trianon, Paris, June 19 2013

The hottest gig of the year so far, sold-out immediately but don't worry they'll be back on Nov 13 @ Zénith in Paris. We probably won't go as Bob Dylan is playing @ Grand Rex on the same day.

Doors opened at 6:00pm

Not a lot of scalpers outside as the security is checking ID on the way in, then they give you a wristband. What's the point of having a wristband once you're in ? anyway...

Masters of Reality is opening and it's their first ever show in Paris. Lots of Stoners were expecting this one, Cool 45 min set.

After a long intermission the band that everyone's expecting: QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE.
There are many songs from the new album "Like Clockwork" that are sounding "ok" for most of them but nothing can't be better than the old stuff.
There's a big screen in the back showing images from the recent videos that are looking a bit like the one from Gorillaz.
Josh is looking good with his short hair and is trying to speak a bit of french when introducing the musicians.
The band is tight and kicking ass even though the setlist could have been better.
Kick ass show !

SETLIST: "song for the dead" NOT played

ZZ TOP + Jesus Volt @ Zénith, Paris June 18 2013

ZZ TOP + Jesus Volt @ Zénith, Paris June 18 2013

ZZ TOP is back in Paris to promote new album "La Futura" after playing Bercy Arena  in 2010 and the Olympia theater in 2012, The Texans are now playing at the (medium size) Zénith (around 4000 capacity. Opening band French Blues rock band Jesus Volt did  decent set.
After a long intermission ZZ TOP is getting on stage @ 9:15, the stage is kept to a minimum, there is literally nothing apart from a screen in the back and two small ones on each side on the floor.
The light show is still as bright as ever which is perfect to take pictures.

Nice start (see setlist below for details )
The band is on auto-pilot, everything is perfect in fact this is the same show for the last two tours with a couple of new songs.

As usual they are playing a very short set: 80 min max including the Encore.

Good show but feels like seeing automatons with guitars.

Got Me Under Pressure
Waitin' for the Bus
Jesus Just Left Chicago
Gimme All Your Lovin'
Pincushion
Cheap Sunglasses
I Gotsta Get Paid
Flyin' High
