Warren Haynes @ Bataclan , Paris june 23 2010

GOV'T MULE @ Bataclan
Paris June 23 2010

Warren Haynes is back in Paris, last time he played at the tiny Trabendo, now it's the Hot & Sweaty Bataclan strangely enough it's not sold-out.

Johnny Gallagher opened the show but we were too late to see him.
Early start as Govt Mule is taking the stage @ 8:15 PM

As you can guess it was a guitar festival for more than 2 hours, I only have one album so I'm not really familiar with all the songs but believe me baby ! It was guitar, Guitar ... and more guitar.

Warren played a mix of bluesy rock tunes streched out to more than 15 min for some of them with also had a very long jazz-rock instrumental that probably lasted more than 20 min.
That's cool with us as we're guitar fanatics.
The band is usually playing over two sets with a short intermission in between but as the Bataclan has a strict curfew we only one ( long) set .
The poor Warren is sweating buckets so we are.
The gig ended in the nicest way with a cover of The Doors' " When the music's over".

Setlist & pass-sheet

The Black Keys @ L' Album de la semaine Canal+, Paris June 22 2010

The Black Keys @ L'Album de la Semaine
Canal+ Paris June 22 2010

Last recording of the season for Canal+ TV show L'Album de la Semaine and we're lucky to get a great band: The Black Keys.
They just have a record out and they're here to promote it.
Lots of people tonight more than 200 people for this "Private gig" ( Concert Privé) which means that it's , technically, NOT an " Album de la Semaine" as we're gonna get a full concert and not only 7-8 songs.

The Black Keys are playing a heavy blues Rock with lots of distortion on guitar à la Buddy Guy but more heavy.
They've enhanced their sound as they are getting two more musicians after a couple of songs for the rest of the gig ( but the last two songs).
The addition of a bass player and a keyboard player gives an extra flavor to their sound.
Maybe a purist would prefer then with a raw sound not us.
I'm prety sure than with this enhanced sound they're gonna get new fan I'm already conquered.

GREAT gig, see setlist above for details

Then I went to the Grand Rex Theatre to see the end of the "live"broadcast of the BIG FOUR with Anthrax, Megadeth, Slayer & Metallica.
I've watched the last twenty minutes of Metallica with a great jam on " Am I evil" feat. all bands,
So cool to see them on the same stage specially Dave playing with his old bandmates.

"Am I Evil" feat. Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax & Megadeth:

It will be out on DVD shortly.
