-M- + The Goastt + Johnny Hallyday
@ Paris Bercy Dec 17 2010

First on stage for the last time on this tour, Yes that's the end of the Tour for Matthieu, The Goastt is playing the same set as the previous day, a 5-6 songs set ending with Serge Gainsbourg's "Comic strip".
I love The Goastt when they're playing electric, maybe Sean should not apologise every two minutes for being here.

Cool !

Then it's time for -M- to take the stage in front of a full house and the show is broadcasted LIVE in its entirety (2h30) on a French tv channel.

Same show as yesterday and the previous day, some good parts when he's playing his songs and some less interesting parts when he's playing with the audience (people are loving it but we don't, yes I know we're boring old farts), he's asking for complete silence, then asking for people to do gym, then for everybody to sit down, including the standing pit and so on...Boring.

Lots of musicians , dancers... on stage, lots of guitars too as he's a great guitar player.
As you can see on Pics he's running around Bercy on his own saying hello to fans even at the very back of the venue. He's also playing a few songs on the catwalk

The Goastt are back on stage with him for a couple of songs and French Elvis Johnny Hallyday is doing a duet to rousing applauses (here on video).

He's getting lots of people on stage for a song many of them are relatives including lots of kids from the entourage.

Good show and this time we are, including our photographer Patrice Guino, in the vip stalls, always nice to have a different view from gigs to gigs.
It's also a nice way to relax.
It was our 208th concert this year

-M- with Johnny Hallyday:

We should go tomorrow @ Trabendo to see heavy rockers AIRBOURNE and maybe to Lady Gaga @ Bercy the next days, yes the music is crap but we've been told that the show was stunning.

-M- feat. The Goastt feat. Sean Lennon & Charlotte Kemp-Muhl

What about a review ?
-M- aka Matthieu Chédid is a great guitar player and composer, he's playing on stage for quite a long time , more than 2h30 min.
I Know he's a nice guy but he's playing a character on stage : -M- ,see how he's dressed up but it's from time to time a bit annoying.
There's always something happening on stage with dancers etc... but I think he should concentrate on the music and cut 30 min off his set to make it more powerfull.

Jimi Hendrix is in da house

Many people were complaining that Axl Rose (from Guns N Roses) is taking a break every 3 songs , well -M- is doing the same and nobody's complaining.
After just 3-4 songs he's going into the audience in the stall to the very back of the venue to play some guitar which is amazing he's running so fast that the poor guy from security is always running after him.
-M- is also playing on a catwalk for a few songs ( see video below) he's interacting a lot with the audience ( maybe too much as it tends to be annoying in the end).
He's welcoming Sean Lennon & friends twice during the set and once again we have french Elvis Johnny Halliday on one song who is much more confortable with it than yesterday.
It's a good show but 30 min should be cut off from the set.
