THIN LIZZY
@ Bataclan
Paris Jan 26 2011

This is Part 2

Part 1 Here with links to great videos from the show


The guys are on top form and Darren is sharing lead vocals with Ricky on "Still in love with you".
They've played some of our favorite songs including "Angel of Death" and "Wild one" here on video and the rarely played on previous tours " Do anything you want to " ( another version is HERE with "Don't believe a word")

"Wild One"


The set wouldn't be perfect without "The Boys are back in Town" (click for video)
Great finale with "Black Rose" & "The rocker".

We've been to more than 200 gigs for 2010 but we can tell you right now that this gig will be in the Top 10 for 2011 and it's only January.

PS: Nicko Mc Brain from Iron Maiden went to say hello to the boys backstage, here it is all smiling !

Bird on The Wire + Milk & FruitJuice @ Espace B, Paris Jan 24 2011

Milk & FruitJuice (far left)

The famous Oliver Peel is organizing, on his own, a show @ the infamous Espace B with French Pop-folkies Milk & Fruit Juice and Bird on the Wire from Holland.
We already saw Bird on the Wire yesterday @ Oliver's, they were playing acoustic tonight it's electric with organ, electric guitar and a "real" drumkit... and the addition of a trumpet for extra flavour.

Bird on The Wire

Cool indie Pop-Rock-folk , great songs and the musicianship is high.
Great gig , too bad the owner of the club is a fucking arabic crook who swindle Oliver out of the admissions.

Jean Michel Basquiat exhibition @ Musée d'Art Moderne de la ville de Paris

Jean Michel Basquiat exhibition @ Musée d'Art Moderne de la ville de Paris
Jan 22 2011


Saturday morning ( in fact 1:00PM) out with the girls to see Jean Michel Basquiat exhibition @ Musée d'art moderne de la ville de Paris just in front of the Palais de Tokyo.
Of course the girls are late, anyway tickets were booked in advance to we don't have to queue otherwise it would have been a 30-40 min wait.
White open spaces with many HUGE paintings, I'm not too much much of a modern art freak so it doesn't talk to me as much as some other painters.
There are great paintings but some others are really...
Not as many people as for the Monet exhibition @ Grand Palais so you can really enjoy it and take your time without having assholes pushing you.You don't feel at all as if you were in the tube at rush hour which was the case @ Grand Palais.
It's also a very different audience: much more young and "trendy" compare to Monet.
My favorites were the paintings done in collaboration with Andy Warhol even though at the time critics didn't like it.


Last day is on Jan 30 2011
