Vernissage Exposition Yann Tiersen " Skyline par Frank Loriou @ Galerie Chappe, Paris Oct 27 2011

Vernissage Exposition Yann Tiersen "Skyline" par Frank Loriou
@ Galerie Chappe, Paris Oct 27 2011

We arrived there just in time for the 30 min set of Yann Tiersen & Band on the stairs of the Galerie Chappe, Lots of people as you can see on the pictures. Sound is quite loud, I'm surprised the neighbours didn't complain, I guess they're used to.

Sorry for the lousy pics it was too dark to do anything good. Sorry no video either.

Remember Jarvis Cocker played a whole week there a couple of years ago.(click for pics).
Cool set.

Then people tried to fit into the tiny galerie to have a look at Pics from Franck Loriou.
Hard to make a move but it was fun as all those hangers on were very disciplined.

Steven Wilson @ Bataclan, Paris Oct 26 201

Updated Oct 27 with links to videos from the show:

Steven Wilson @ Bataclan, Paris Oct 26 2011

Lead singer from Porcupine Tree is playing a solo show, the balcony is full but lots of empty spaces in the pit downstairs.
The stage is hidden behind a very thin white veil on which is screen some home movies.
The gig is starting on time but with the worst way possible: musicians are getting on stage one by one with drummer first.
Have you ever seen a rock concert starting with a (small) drum solo ? We did tonight.
First song is a jazz rock instrumental... humm well...
Then we have some proper songs if we can say that.
After a few songs the white veil is down and the projections are now on the backdrop.
The Music ? A kind of heavy rock version of the Pink Floyd with some jazz rock thrown in.

We don't know any of the songs played tonight as we only have a couple of Porcupine Tree albums but we liked what we heard.
Technically it's perfect, Steven is really into his music for the whole set playing keyboard or guitar and of course singing.
The show ended with a 20 min song from the new album.
If you're really into that kind of music it was probably a fantastic if you don't know any of the songs it's more difficult to get into it, even though it was a good show, a 100 min was enough for us and the end of the show was welcomed.
The audience kept asking for more so Steven went back on stage just to say that they've played everything and thanked the audience.
