Update: I've been told that this poster has NEVER been seen before, too bad it's not mine (it's on sale somewhere on the internet). It's not in perfect condition and is pretty small (60cm X 40)
Jimi Hendrix @ Faculté d' Assas
Here's a very rare poster from his show @ The Assas Law University of Paris on March 4th 1967. That was his second show for the night as he already played a show in a club in Colombes just outside Paris.

Roger Hodgson @ Palais des Congres Paris Sept 24 2010
Great gig by Roger Hodgson, hard to do bad with so many fantastic songs Early start for Roger Hodgson , he's on stage at 8:20 PM for a good 50 min then there's a 20 min intermission and back on stage for another hour. The Palais des Congres is packed but not sold-out : there are still a few seats left at the very back of the venue.
Tickets are once again very expensive : between 60 & 90 euros for the best seats. For this price you expect to see the artist with a full band unfortunately like last time at the Olympia theatre ( click for review & pics) Roger Hodgson is only playing with one musician on Keys/"Bass"/sax so we have stripped down versions of his songs. [ check also our review with Pics from the show @ Fete de L'Humanité in front of more than 50 000 people]
It's not really a problem as Supertramp songs are great and Roger's voice is so recognizable and after all these years absolutely perfect. Lots of talking between songs ( and in French for most part) which are played alternatively on electric piano, grand Piano or acoustic guitar.
Part 2 : Child Of Vision Only Because Of You Lord Is It Mine Say Goodbye Know Who You Are Don't Leave Me Now Dreamer Fool's Overture Encore : Two Of Us School It's Raining Again (other video)
Lots of very dedicated fans as usual including the Spanish & french Fan club. We ven had a few kids singing on "It's raining again" see video Between Rick Davies' Supertramp ( @ Bercy in Oct for two shows) and Roger Hodgson , easy to choose from , It's Roger.
" It's raining again":
Oh Yeah

Jo Krasevich @ Gibert Joseph store Paris Sept 24, 5:00PM
American Folk singer Jo Krasevich is playing a showcase this afternoon @ Gibert Joseph store in Paris after opening for Ray Lamontagne yesterday night @ Café de la Danse. I've heard a few of her songs quickly on her Myspace page and I liked what I've heard. Always better to see artist in vivo. She's promoting her first album "Mery go round" featuring Doug Pettitbone (Mark Knopfler, Tracy Chapman) on guitar and Daniel Lanois who just produced "Le Noise" for Neil Young.(click for Pics & more from his last show in Paris) She's been compared to Chrissie Hynde for her voice but I personnaly think she's closer to Suzanne Vega ( we love her @ ROCKERPARIS... well Patrice does; click on link for more). We were treated to a 5-6 songs set from her new album including one unrealeased song ending with a great acoustic version of Neil Young's " Like a hurricane". We ( Oliver and I) had a nice chat with her afterwards well... she should be soon ( hope so) @ an Oliver Peel session.
Philippe Katerine @ Studio SFR Paris, Sept 23 2010
To promote his new album French singer Philippe Katerine is doing a few private shows for different medias & TVs, he played L' Album de la Semaine for Canal+ on Sept 20 ( We were @ OZZY) and tonight he's playing next to Madeleine church @ Studio SFR for OUI FM and SFR. The show is broacasted LIVE on the radio and on the SFR website. Katerine is a famous singer in France thanks to a couple of hit singles, he's also well-known for being a character and a singer with very funny lyrics a bit provocative and décalé.
First time we're seeing him on stage, ok he's always dressed in a funny way ( see pictures) his lyrics are also very funny ( for most of 'em) and the guy is also acting funny, Period. But the music really sucks, I mean when you hear a song on the radio that's ok but for a whole gig that's really too much. Hard to believe, it's so lousy, it's ruining everything. First and... last.
