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.

The Kills' book signing @ Marck Jacobs' Bookmarc Paris, Sept 28 2012

 The Kills'  book signing @ Marck Jacobs' Bookmark Paris, Sept 28 201

The Kills  IS the Trendy rock band so when they are signing a book it is NOT at a Rock store but @ Marc Jacobs' book store Bookmarc in the very posh Place du Marché St Honoré in center Paris.
The shop is very small and there's a long queue of fans dressed up for the occasion. The atmosphere is very relax thanks to the staff and Alison, Jamie Hince and photographer Kenneth Cappello are nice to everyone signing and posing for pictures.
I've been told that if you're going to the store these next few days there are still signed books to buy, in limited quantities.

 Reminder:

setlist

50 min+ set (11 songs) with Prog rockers ARCHIVE for a free showcase @ Fnac Store in Montparnasse. It's lunch time and the place is packed with dedicated fans. Sometimes when you hear a band playing on acoustic the music or the songs can really sound different, not really the case with ARCHIVE, you can still feel their "epic" sound.The musicianship is perfect including the vocals, they do have a new girl who's voice is sounding amazing and she's very cute too.
We might not be great fan of this band but they've performed a very enjoyable set.
Unfortunately as the band had to go to do radio shows afterwards, so they say, they couldn't sign anything to fans. Strangely enough one of the guys was still hanging out there half an hour after the end of the show.
