Jerry Lee Lewis @ Grand Rex
Paris Nov 5th 2009

The Killer is back in Paris with Linda gail Lewis less than one year after burning down the Zénith ( click HERE & HERE to see review setlist Pics & Video from that show with Chuck Berry).
This time the theatre is smaller but it's one of the most beautiful in France and it is situated in the heart of Paris., it has just been restored.

Linda Gail Lewis was a good starter.
After letting his band playing 4 songs, Jerry Lee Lewis is getting on the stage and all his fans are rushing to the front to get the best spot in front of him, including our photographer Patrice Guino.

Last time at the Zénith he did a Killer set but at his age years are counting double.
He still has that "Thing" in his eyes but it's getting harder and harder to move the rest.
He's barely looking at the audience as if he was on autopilot.

Of course he played all the hits : " Chantily lace","cc rider", " Whole lotta Shaking going on" ( here on video).

Motorhead & Izia @Zénith Paris Nov 4th 2009

Motorhead & Izia @ Zénith

Paris Nov 4th 2009

First on stage is French Janis Joplin called Izia, it could have been a problem to her to open for Motorhead. She did really well with her classic rock band, she's giving it all on stage and get Lemmy's fans eating in her hand.

Then MOTORHEAD, yes Lemmy we know you're Motorhead and you're playing Rock 'n Roll !!!
Nice start with the "Iron Fist" then " Stay Clean".
It's a small Zénith tonight ( 2500 seats ) and it's almost full , quite an achievement as Motorhead played here last year ( Click for review Pics & Video ) and there is nothing to promote today.

Sorry no Pics from our photographer Patrice Guino as this lazy bastard prefered to relax in the stalls.

As usual with Motorhead they always put on a great show , they have so many great songs ( see video of "Going to Brazil" & " Killed by death" ).
Once again they've played a couple of songs from " Another Perfect Day" one of my fav record ending the set with "Overkill"
90 min sharp including encore , not the best show they've done but they are still kicking ass.

Here's " Another Perfect day " from last year :

Bad Lieutenant @ Fnac Montparnasse Paris Nov 4th 2009

UPDATED NOV 8th with new video here:

Bad Lieutenant @ Fnac Montparnasse
Paris Nov 4th 2009 6:00 PM

Bad Lieutenant is playing the sold-out Olympia tonight opening for headliner Bat For Lashes ( Les Inrocks Fest ) but before that they're doing a showcase at the Fnac store at 5:30 Pm.
We were allowed in just before 6:00 as the band were rehearsing a long time just to play 3 songs, yes only 3 songs !!!
They've played 2 new songs and last one was from NEW Order ( Here on video ).

-Sorry I wrote down down Joy Division , I've been abused-

Then they did sign stuff to people , nothing was really organised as the band was in a hurry , Bernard Sumner signed records to whoever was next to him in a very relax atmosphere , no one was pushing and he took the time to speak to fans .
Cool !
it's time for some of us to go to the Olympia , I'm going to Motorhead @ Zénith.
