Best shows of 2010 Part 3 with Stevie Wonder, Deep Purple, Steve Miller, Suzanne Vega, Air

Best of concerts Part 3
click on links for review , setlist,Lots of great Pictures & Videos

Stevie Wonder @ Paris Bercy. Lots of "smashing" songs for this Motown legend. Some parts were a bit average when he played his mid-80's & 90's songs but we had Prince & Sheila E as special guests on "Superstition". That was breathtaking (Check our video on link above)

Deep Purple @ Zénith (Part 2) Full House for these English veterans and no new album to promote, a Best of... setlist with a couple of rare tracks. Hard to believe they are still so popular. Everywhere they've played in France ( a dozen shows) it was packed.

Steve Miller Band @ Zénith, first gig in Paris for probably 20 years and first time we were seeing him LIVE, So many fantastic songs. Hard to believe that the Zénith was 3/4 empty, great show and we met him afterwards , the guy is SO nice. Hope he will be back in Paris soon.

Suzanne Vega @ Théatre Marigny, once again Suzanne proved that you have perfect songs you don't need a whole band to play them, she just came with Gerry Leonard on guitar nad the show was perfect. Check her cover of Serge Gainsbourg's "Bonny & Clyde".

AIR @ Cité de la Musique performing "The Virgin Suicides" soundtrack with The Hot Rats, This record is one of my alltime favourite so seeing AIR performing it in its entirety was a dream come true.

The Best is yet to come with Guns N Roses @ L'Arc Club + Prince @ New Morning and some more great shows including The Hellfest... so stay tuneD to ROCKERPARIS;

Listen to an unreleased version of Serge Gainsbourg's "Comme un Boomerang"

click on pic above to listen to it.

Serge Gainsbourg wrote the song " Comme un Boomerang" for french singer Dani, at the time of recording in 1975 he recorded himself a "vocal track" to help Dani, this version will be out next year with recently added music . Dani's version never saw the light of day but she recorded a "new" version in 2001 with Etienne Daho
It will be part of a Box-set of unreleased songs to be out in February 2011.
This version will be sent to the media on January 7th.
Enjoy !

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
