setlist

The Hives are back in Paris, for a private show @ canal+, just a few months after playing a kick ass gig @ Gaité Lyrique in May 2012

All dressed in Tuxedos and playing new songs only (except for one ), The Hives are still kicking ass, even though the singer is acting as usual you can see that he's trying to make sure the vocals are the best possible even when he's jumping up and down and swinging the mike as it's a TV recording.
It's not an usual gig so you cannot feel the power of the audience pushing the band or it it because the new songs are bit less good than the old ones.
Good set but it could have been a bit better.

projected setlist, they've changed a couple of things
TBC tomorrow

The Jim Jones Revue are back with a new album and they're playing a few songs from it @ canal+ TV show, from what we've heard tonight most of the songs are more quiet if I can say so...more "classic rock" 70's era à la Alice Cooper.

They came back for a second set and played some of the old stuff that is much more heavy, a cover and they replayed a couple of the heavier new songs from the first set.
It was as if the concert really started for the second set with some of the vintage boogie-rock the band has always played.
I guess some people might be disappointed by some of the new songs, the band is aging I mean... you can't scream and jump like a maniac all the time, but they're aging well.

Van Morrison @ Olympia, Paris Sept 14 2012

Van The Man !

Once again tickets are ridiculously expensive, up to 220 euros for the best seats. WHAT THE FUCK ?!?
It's quite full tonight but not sold-out with people in their forties and fifties. Hard to afford a gig at such silly prices when you're a student.
Anyway... the opening band is Shana Morrison, I guess it's his daughter or his wife, nice voice but the music she's playing is an easy-listening-country-folk of no interest at all.

Then we have Van The Man standing in the middle of the stage among his musicians -guitar, bass, keys, several brass players & drums- with his trademark black hat & sunglasses.
He has two beautiful guitars just next to him that will be useless as he won't even have a look at them for the whole set.
He's singing , of course, perfectly playing a bit of saxophone from time to time, a bit of harp too, a couple of songs are played on the piano.
The sound is not too loud and as perfect as his voice or the musicianship of his band, fantastic bass sound, warm as I like it.
Lots of very relax and cool songs maybe a bit too many for my taste with some great covers "Fever" "Baby please don't go".
Unfortunately only one song from "Moondance" my favorite record, the title track.
Lots of classics. setlist included: "Moondance", "Brown eyed girl", "baby please don't go, "fever", "Gloria", "whenever god shines", "enlightenment", "here comes the night"...
great set too bad there wasn't any encore at the end.
