TONY COOK 's Trunk-O-Funk with DANNY RAY Jun 19th NewMorning
After a short but nice set by Coldplay we headed to the famous parisian jazz club the New Morning to see James Brown 's former members : drummer TONY COOK and MC DANNY RAY .
Some people may think what's the point of going to see a drummer even if he's James Brown's
Well, baby it's gonna Funk & Groove .
And sure, it did funk & groove !
Divided over 2 sets of 60 mn Tony Cook and his band entertained us with JB covers ( "Sex Machine" , "Get up offa that thing" , "soul power", " i got you" ... ) and among many others Stevie Wonder's "superstition" , ottis redding's "try a little tenderness" Hendrix' " Voodoo chile" ...
Tony' playing drums AND singing, He's the Man helped by a smoking band ( 2 guitar players , 2 horns and a bass player ) and MC Danny Ray himself.
Ah Danny nice to see him back in Paris , The man who introduced Mr Brown every night for 30 years ( or is it more ? )
He was barely on stage for 20 mn ( remember he doesn't sing at all )but he was the Star of the evening.
A Funky Good Night !!!

COLDPLAY W9 TV Show Jun 19th
Coldplay is playing their very first "show" in France after playing in London ( Brixton Academy on the 16th ; BBC Television Centre, Shepherds Bush on the 18 th ) and Madrid ( on the 17th ).
Their brand new album " Viva la vida" is selling shitloads in England and they are the first English band to get a n° 1 in the US for ten years.
This tv show is being recorded for W9 and to be broadcast on Jun 27 th.
Get in there around 7 pm @ Dock Haussmann , north of Paris ( plaine St denis ) , the place holds around 500 people , some competition winners and lots of VIPs.
A french girl opens the show , called Chat ( cat in french ) she played 2-3 songs on the piano , from the VIP bar upstairs she seemed quite good.
Coldplay went on stage and had to answer questions from the audience ( with translation from tv presenter Frederique Bedos ) for at least 20 min, even though the questions were not really interesting ( why a painting of Delacroix on the cover ? Why did you call your album " viva la vida " ? and so on ...)
Chris Martin was always chatty and funny so were the other band members.
Time now for the proper concert, they opened with the new single " Violent hill" , cameras are everywhere, light show is sumptuous and the band on top form. they played a mix of new tracks and a couple of oldies .
I can't say that their pop is my cup of tea but they're lively on stage.
Show ended with confettis over the crowd .
The only downer is the short set, only 6 songs in 35 min.

McCartney & U2 @ Live8 2005 Rehearsals & Gig
Hi
Just a few pics from Patrice Guino 's archives for you :
" I get there around 10 30 am they already had started the rehearsals , they played Sergent Pepper 3-4 times and that was it.
Note : there is a Pink Floyd's backdrop.
Then it was time for U2 to rehearse on their own and finally Coldplay but we couldn't see them as we were asked to leave the premises as security wanted the pit clear before opening the doors a hour later.
We were lucky to be there the day before for the whole afternoon watching Macca & George Michael, Sting , Madonna ( who rehearsed her 3 songs set for more than 75 min in front of Pink Floyd's ( & family ) Nick Mason, David Gilmour and Richard Wright ). Believe me she's a real Professionnal.
And finally The Pink Floyd with Roger Waters at sunset , that was VERY emotional when they started performing the entire set they will play in front of more than 100 000 people in hyde Park and dozens of millions on TV the day after. We were just a handfull and that was THE FIRST TIME they were playing together for 25 years .
I will always remember these moments. "
