Motorhead @ Zénith, Paris Nov 21 2011

Motorhead + No One Is Innocent @ Zénith Paris, Nov 21 2011
Motorhead is back at the zénith in Paris, Medium size 4000 capacity.
We get there early, No One Is Innocent is already on stage, powerful show as usual.
The zénith though not sold-out is packed with fans in their 40's most of them fat & bald, we haev some youngsters too, it's sweat & beer for everybody tonight, like in the old days, good !

Nice start with "Bomber", they changed the first song of the show @ every gig but the rest is quite the same: meaning 2 songs from the new album, 3-4 songs from the last 10 year period and the rest is just oldies but goodies. (see setlist below for details).
Same stage as usual , just a small backdrop , a VERY loud sound not that good and some shitty lights, impossible to take a decent picture but Patrice is used so he gave up years ago.
We have a lousy drum solo in the middle of "The one to sing the Blues".
Not the best show I've seen them perform, far from it, it sounds like they don't play as fast as they used to which is a good thing on some songs: "Stay Clean", "Metropolis" (here on video).

Overall Good show.

Loney Dear + Oscar & The Wolf + Dillon @ Fleche d'Or, Paris Nov 19 2011

Loney Dear + Oscar & The Wolf + Dillon @ Fleche d'Or, Paris Nov 19 2011

Dillon

First on the stage of La Fleche d'Or for her French ever show is German Female singer Dillon with a guy on electronic devices, minimalist electronica music for Dillon, Her magnetic voice and her laid-back melancolic electro attracted people who listened to her religiously.
Don't know why but she broke down in tears in the middle of the penultimate song, everything went back to normal for the last one.
Oscar & The Wolf

Then we had Belgian pop-folk band Oscar & the Wolf for some slow-tempo songs, more joyful or up-tempo songs wouldn't be a crime.
Cool set tough.
Loney Dear

Swedish multi-instrumentalist Emil Svanängen aka Loney Dear is closing this night.
He left his band is Sweden and is playing on his own , well almost there's a Swedish girl on keys and backing vocals.
For this set Emil is singing, playing guitar, doing percussions & playing all the rest ("bass", home made live recordings & loops) with his feet.
I really wonder how he can enjoy playing gigs when he has to concentrate on so many things at the same time.
It looks like he can't all the time as he had to restart a couple of songs but he took it with a laugh so is the audience of dedicated fans.
An hour set of experimental pop-folk that went very well.
setlist:
Name
Violent
Saturday Waits
Young Hearts
D Major
Calm Down
Loney Blues
My Heart
-Encore-
Sinister in a State of Hope
Dear John
