EUROPEAN TOUR DATES 2009

Chris Cornell opening for Lenny Kravitz in May 2009

WHAT ?
Chris Cornell is opening for Lenny Kravitz in May 2009 on all his shows in France.
Guess that we won't hear any Soundgarden songs .
We'll have to endure his unlistenable new cd produced by Timba-land of sadness.
Chris Cornell AKA "how-to-shot-down-a-solo-career".

Christophe @ Olympia Paris March 13th 2009

French singer Christophe is playing his last show tonight at the Olympia theatre in Paris, he's here tonight with guests including Eric Truffaz on trumpet who came on stage 3-4 times.
Gail Ann Dorsey , who played for David Bowie among many others , was on bass for the whole show ; Eumir Deodato was lucky to conduct most of the time an orchestra of very sexy violin players.
Carmine Appice appeared twice and did two fantastic drum soli.

First part of the show consisted of Christophe new cd , some part are good , others a bit boring.

Gail Ann Dorsey on Bass

Second part consisted of his hit songs , some of them re-arranged.

The whole cast with Eumir Deodato conducting

& Carmine Appice on the right clapping

Christophe is a funny guy on stage , always sitting on a stool , taking pictures all along the show of his musicians with a disposable camera that he throws away into the audience at the end.

WHAT A FUCKING WEEK I HAD !!!

Toxic Twins

Kissing

They started the gig nicely with "Baddie's boogie" ( Here on video ) and then i can't bloody remember a thing , they've played hits after hits , it was a Libertines/Babyshambles Best of... they even played a cover from one of those shitty electronic duet from the eighties. ( "West end girls" from The Pet Shop Boys).

SETLIST included " Back from the dead" , "fuck forever" , "Unstookie titled", " I wish", "Albion", ...plus others , i'll get the correct setlist soon )

Pete and Mick were in high spirit , both having the time of their life , joking , kissing eachother ( see picture above ) .
Nice to have Mick back for Babyshambles songs as Graham Coxon seemed a bit lost playing them ( He was perfect on Pete 's solo material @ the Bataclan ).
Conditions were perfect for me as i was seating in a sofa just in front of Pete ( well , in fact there was no stage at all ) with 200 people behind me in this trendy club having also the time of their life.
A few posh people and very sexy girls ( this was the last day of the Fashion week in Paris ) but many fans were invited by band members ( Thanks Adam for putting Mathilde and I on the guest list ) including all the "hangers on" from the Bergerac café.
The band was on for a good hour playing 14-15 songs.
Pete was particularly WILD tonight singing in the audience , sofa-diving into the audience ( first time i'm seeing someone doing a SOFA-diving ) ; crashing his mike or the drums by jumping on it and finally tearing down part of the ceiling by hitting on it with the mike-stand .

Pete was really wasted by the end of this FANTASTIC GIG , probably the best I have ever seen from the Shambles.

Videos from MadameMime007 " I Wish " another version of "baddie's boogie".
Another video from the secret gig "There she goes"

AKA Roses Kings Castles

Elvis '58 is back

Dedicated audience

Really nice 20 min+ set by Adam Ficek ( drummer for The Babyshambles and Peter Doherty )
Many people came down to this free gig set up by Mathilde, i've already seen most of the girls present at the Bataclan for Pete's gigs.
It's a big family, everybody seems to know each other.

Peter was playing one song at 6:00 Pm for Canal+ tv show " Le Grand Journal " ( click to see Peter performing his single ) we couldn't get there in time as the show wasn't broadcasted live but recorded one hour earlier than usual , too bad !
Here 's another "secret" video from his performance

See our previous review of Adam Ficek' s gig at the Pop'In. a couple of days ago
