Best shows of 2010 Part 2 with Foreigner, Europe, Scorpions, Johnny Winter, Clapton/Winwood

Some more of our best shows for 2010
Click on links for review , setlist, Pics & VIDEOS

Foreigner @ Grand Rex (Part 2), first time we were seeing this AOR band, I thought it might bit a bit soft for us in fact it was ROCKING, a very nice surprise (check video for this one).

SCORPIONS @ Olympia, last tour for these german veterans, in fact they will be back in Paris @ Bercy on Nov 23 2011. I don't know about their last albums but LIVE they're kicking asses and as it's the last tour they're playing all the hits.

EUROPE @ Cigale, first time we were going to their show, soft rock ? No, It was smoking John Norum is DA man on guitar.

Veteran Blues Rocker Johnny Winter @ Bobino, I've heard so many bad things about his performances (poor guitar playing... when he was playing) , very good surprise he's half blind and is seating on a chair for the whole gig BUT he can still deliver great licks on guitar. A great surprise including for people who had seen him these last few years when he was in very bad shape.

Clapton/Winwood @ Paris Bercy (Part 2). Fantastic double bill with Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood, lots of guitars from both. First time they were playing together for a whole show and a whole tour for ages. Everywhere they went it was a massive success including in Paris.
One of the best show this year.

* We don't go to see many French rock bands but we were glad to see the comeback on stage of French Dandy-rocker Jacques Dutronc @ Zénith

New Whitesnake album "Forevermore" artwork revealed

Whitesnake 2011

"Forevermore" artwork (left) "1987" artwork (center) Graspop Fest in Belgium (right)

Here is the artwork for Whitesnake new album " Forevermore", it's copying the "1987" album cover but in a very cheap way. In fact the new cover sucks very badly.
The album will be out on March 2011 via Frontiers Records.
