SEX PISTOLS + NEW YORK DOLLS & BUZZCOCKS Belgium 2008
SEX PISTOLS + NEW YORK DOLLS & BUZZCOCKS
Live at the Lokerse Festival in Belgium.
Festival site is in the town center's main square which is unusual for a rock fest next to a funfair and a second stage with local bands. Price admission for the main stage is only 30 euros which is very cheap to see 4 bands.
First to play ( around 8 PM ) are local punk band THE KIDS we don't really see them as we are hanging around in the streets but they finish their set with Sham 69s " If the kids are united".
Next to play are THE BUZZCOCKS, Steve Giggle is in good spirit ( he was drinking a lot before the gig backstage ) They're rocking fast and the audience is really enjoying the songs ( "boredom", "fast cars", "autonomy", "breakdown", "what do i get","promises", "harmony in my head" , "orgasm addict", and " ever fallen in love" ). Good 45 min of pure rock ' n roll. At the end of the show Steve wrecked the drum kit à la WHO .
Backstage we had a chat with Glen Matlock ( Sex Pistol ) who invited us to the show courtesy of our english mate Ray Morrissey. He was the only one to come backstage the others prefer to stay in the dressing rooms.
Then we have The NEW YORK DOLLS, i really love them, their last record " one day it will please us to remember even this " released two years ago when they reformed is probably one of the best rock record done these last few years by any rock band. Live they're very enjoyable.
Lots of great tunes (" Rainbow store", "dance like a monkey", "private world", " dance on a lip of a volcano" and " we're all in love " from their last cd ) + some classics ( "Pills" , "looking for a kiss" , " babylon" ) some covers ( Janis Joplin's " piece of my heart" and Johnny thunder's " you can't put your arm around a memory " sing by Sylvain Sylvain ) .
They finish their 60 min show with "Trash" and "Jetboy" . they were brilliant and David Johansen is still funny to watch in his skinny baby t-shirt.
They were supposed to play an encore but the organisers almost kicked them out of the stage as they were afraid to run late. There was a funny thing when Sylvain Sylvain spoke french , the thing he doesn't know is that Lokeren is in Flemish country and they really HATE French speaking people.Ah Ah Ah !!! "Flemish Bastards" ( dixit our photographer Patrice Guino ) You could really feel their hate as we were in Ghent sightseeing in the afternoon.
Anyway, We are here for the SEX PISTOLS so let's forget about those suckers.
They come on at midnight , as we are the Sex Pistols' guests we stay in the photographers pit for the first 3 songs and than down the front pogoing with the audience for the rest of the gig.
Johnny is dressed with a very strange outfit ( see pictures ) Glen is sun tan and has a fresh "new romantic" haircut. Steve is steve ( fat) and Cookie is hidden behind is drum kit , the stage is so high that we can't see him at all.
Of course they play the same set over and over again for the last twelve years ( since they reformed in 1996 ) , remember they only have only ONE record .
The main square is full ( 15000 people ) and it's chaos in the first rows.
They open with " pretty vacant" and play all their classics ( " holidays in the sun", " no fun", " stepping stone", "seventeen" , " problems", "god save the queen" ) Last song is " EMI" before the encores " bodies" and "anarchy in the UK" .
As usual Johnny sometimes cannot remember the lyrics and as to rely on his lyrics book or the band is stretching a song when Johnny doesn't sing at the right moment. But that's part of the trip with them. Second encore is Hawkwind 's " silver machine " and " roadrunner".
Great gig !!!
After the show we hang around backstage and have a chat with Glen and Cookie just before they leave the venue back to Bruxelles. They have an early flight in the morning to Glasgow, where they're playing the day after.

CHICAGO Casino de Paris July 29th 2008
UPDATED JULY 31st WITH 2 NEW VIDEOS :
" If you leave me now" &
"does anybody really knows what time it is "
Another video will be uploaded tomorrow.
New York Dolls and Sex Pistols "live in Belgium" soon on ROCKERPARIS
The Casino de Paris is welcoming CHICAGO
From the number of microphones on stage you can guess that a power trio won't be playing tonight in fact they are 8. The rhythm section , a guitar player , two keyboard players and 3 horns.
Can you believe that this guys have been together for more than 40 years ? Of course many have left from the original band and for this tour there are only 2 remaining original members, usually there are 4 .
With this Nostalgia act like with most of these "old bands" don't expect them to play their entire new cd. What people wants , it's the Hits songs.
Divided over 2 sets Chicago has to split them , "if you leave me now " sung by the bass player and "does anybody really knows what time it is " are part of the first set. Ok " if you leave me now" doesn't really sounds the same especially when the singer is struggling to match the original singer. Both keyboard players are also sharing vocals duties.
When the band is not playing some dumb AOR ballads ( excluding ' If you leave...) they're really GROOVING.
A couple of 'new' songs are thrown in , including one from their rejected record ( by their then label Warner Bros ) "stone of sisyphus" of 1993 which has just been released 15 years after its recording. You can understand why the record company wasn't happy with the result , it sounds like the worst of Phil Collins ( at least on record , live it's ok )
The second set is more groovy " I' m a man " is absolutely GREAT.
Show ended with a fantastic rendition of " 25 or 6 to 4 "
setlist: 1st and 2nd set
Goodnight lads and see ya next year

THE BELLRAYS Paris Plage July 26th 2008
UPDATED JULY 27th WITH NEW -TOM WAITS- VIDEOS HERE:
http://fr.youtube.com/user/rockingparis
Free outdoor concert by the river left bank next to Bastille. Paris in the summer is full of free gigs , mostly jazz but tonight for -Paris Plage- we're gonna ROCK with The Mighty BELLRAYS.
Early start for support bands ( 5:30 pm ) .We arrived just in time, around 8 pm, to catch the last 2 songs of French rock band TANGER . Thir music is OK but they are singing in french which ruins everything.
8:40 sharp The BELLRAYS are on the stage and as usual, i've seen them many times , THEY FUCKING ROCK .
On their early records songs were like the Ramones fast and short. Now they've slow down a bit and injected some soul music into their rock. And it's even better than before. It gives you time to catch your breath between the fast stuff.
Lisa ( the singer ) is a real show(wo)man walking the stage like a lion in a cage. Her versatile voice adapts easily wether it' s a soulful ballad or a punk song.
People down the front are acting like they were at the Pistols in '76 at the 100 club.
The place is on fire with the last song AC/DC 's " Highway to Hell ".
Great gig !
Thanks to Patrice Guino for sending me the pics so quick and for once he shot the video , YEAH MAN .

2nd show for Tom Waits , almost same gig as yesterday , just a few changes ( 5-6 songs ) , the jokes were different involving 1) a spider and 2) baby Frogs he had injested in Paris after swimming in a pond which are happily living in his stomach.
Hard to get the setlists as he ordered his roadies NOT to give'em away. ( !?!)
Anyway our photographer PATRICE GUINO could manage to get pictures .
the encore ( 2nd song )

TOM WAITS Paris Grand Rex July 24th 2008
Hi Lads ,
Tom Waits Ah Ah Ah !!!
The hottest gig of the year in Paris
And here it is, on ROCKERPARIS Just for YOU ,
courtesy of Patrice Guino.
Check our VIDEOS too...
The Voice of Screaming Jay Hawkins , the attitude of John Belushi ( without the drugs ) for a great set of rock-blues-cabaret. Of course tickets were ridiculously expensive once again ( up to 140 euros ). For this tour it was more cabaret than rock.
He was standing up on a platform and didn't move at all from there only to play 3 songs on the piano.
Each time he was stomping his feet a cloud of "dust" was rising up to much effect.
We had the usual jokes between songs.
First time i was seeing him on stage and i wasn't disapointed.
Starting with THIS :

DIANNE REEVES Parc Floral Vincennes July 20th 2008
UPDATED JULY 22nd WITH VIDEO ...
She is considered one of the most important contemporary jazz singers and DIANNE REEVES Is playing for free ( at least for us ) @ Paris' Parc Floral of the Bois de Vincennes this afternoon.
I though it would be too Jazzy for me but absolutely not, the show was great, her voice is pretty amazing, the music is really cool too ...
Raoul Midon opened the show, we arrived too late to see him , we've been told he did a fine job and had an encore. He was invited back on stage by Dianne for a wonderful 13 min long version of the Temptations' " Just my imagination" .
The place was PACKED, impossible to get a seat down the front. So i will post a video later but it's shot from the back sorry ... of course our photographer PATRICE GUINO was front row ( bastard ! )
note : " Child is Porn " instead of " Child is Born " on the setlist
Even in Jazz they know how to be funny...
