Joe Cocker @ Zénith, Paris May 15 2013

WOW ! Jesus ! Finally there is a gig in Paris ! Our second for this month. 2013 has been the quietest year Concert-wise for years. June will be better.
Tonight it's Mr Joe Cocker not anymore with his Englishmen but with some very sexy female singers and a hot bass player, same band as for his last show in Paris 3 years ago.
The Zénith is quite full though far from being sold-out, once again it's an all seated event as most of the audience is in their 50's.
First song is a new one which is not the best choice to start the gig than we have some of the classics ( see setlist below). Joe Cocker has a sore throat tonight so the vocals are not at their best for the first few songs, he will apologize a couple of times for his voice. The lightning is great and the sound crystal clear and not too loud: it's perfect for the Senior in the audience.

The audience is politely clapping between songs, feel like being in a retirement home, even on stage it's "polite" with mid-tempo songs, we even have a semi-acoustic sections to put us all to sleep.
Fortunately people are standing up for the last part.

Overall good 1h40  min+ show, perfect for grannies.

 Dan Aykroyd @ Cave Fauchon in Paris for Crystal Head, May 15 2013

Dan Aykroyd will sign the bottle tonight at the Fauchon store in Paris

 

Limited Edition Rolling Stones Crystal head Vodka boxset with a double live cd

Should be 80 euros, Double cd with 18 songs

Very cool signing session with Blue Brother Dan Aykroyd, couldn't believe that there was NO Rolling Stones' box set with the cd available ( it's out on June 1st).

There were a few guys dressed up as Ghostbusters which was fun.

The limited edition gift set, which is available for US$89.95, features an iconic bottle of Crystal Head Vodka with an interchangeable crystal decanter top engraved with The Rolling Stones lip-and-tongue tattoo. Also included is an exclusive 2-CD compilation of live Rolling Stones hits, a bottle tattoo featuring the 50^th anniversary logo, and handcrafted display case featuring a real zipper reminiscent of the Sticky Fingers album cover.

A very limited whiskey set was released in October of last year (photo above)
