& Electric Soft Parade
Electric Soft Parade
When we get in the support band was already on stage, part of the audience wanted them out, they took it with a laugh; too bad they've done a great set ending with a smashing ten minutes song. I've been told later that it was Electric Soft Parade, I remember now that i probably saw them many years ago opening for another band ( may be Oasis) at the Royal albert Hall.
They really deserve more success.
Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds

This gig has been sold-out almost immediately when it went on sale, I understand why, it's full of English singing No-el for the whole set.
The band has a powerful sound and a great white light show.
The whole gig is being recorded by French tv Canal+ for a future broadcast, they've already did it last time Oasis played at the tiny Bataclan theatre in Nov 2008.
We haven't heard the record yet but we heard the single and it is sounding very good.
so it's no surprise that Noel's band is sounding much better than Oasis, probably because he's singing all the songs.
Needless to tell you that we're not Oasis fans over here.
Noel is alternating between acoustic & electric guitar, he's not a fantastic guitar player but he has very good songs including the Oasis ones which are sounding ten times better when he's singing them.
A few heavy tunes and some acoustic moments including acoustic versions of "Wonderwall", "Supersonic"...
He had a few requests but he preferred to stick to the setlist, he also had a few funny chats with some English members of the audience.

Paul McCartney joined on stage by Ron Wood @ O2 in London, Dec 05 2011

"Get Back":


Review with Pics, setlist & many videos: Paul McCartney @ Paris Bercy on Nov 30 (Part 2)

Combien gagnent les artistes avec itunes ?

Interrogés par le "Nouvel Obs", Claire Giraudin, Responsable des études à la Sacem, et Bernard Miyet, Président du Directoire de la Sacem, répondent aux préoccupations actuelles concernant la rémunération des artistes selon les nouveaux modes de distribution de la musique.

La Sacem, notamment garante du respect et du reversement des droits d'auteurs, explique percevoir « entre 90 centimes et 1,10 euros, soit 9% du prix hors taxes sur un CD de quinze titres ».

Acheté sur la plateforme Apple. « Par titre vendu, la Sacem perçoit 7 centimes d'euros au total pour le ou les auteur(s), le ou les compositeur(s) et le ou les éditeur(s) », sachant qu'un morceau unique coûte généralement 99 centimes au consommateur. Quant à l'interprète, on estime qu'en moyenne 2 centimes lui reviennent.

Déja que les maisons de disques escroquaient les artistes à l'époque de la vente de cds et il y avait les intermédiaires à payer ( fabrication, livraison, disquaire...) maintenant c'est encore pire pour les artistes avec le téléchargement légal et il n'y a plus aucun intermédiaires.

Question: OU VA LE POGNON ? Pas dans la poche des artistes.

Quand je pense qu'on nous a fait passer Steve Jobs pour un saint, Pourris en enfer charogne !

Very cool 5-6 songs acoustic set from this English folk artist, too bad there wasn't a lot of people even though there was a few posters in the store promoting this showcase.

She's playing tomorrow ( Dec 07) with other bands @ Fleche d'Or in Paris
