Rolling Stones' Rehearsals in Paris Day 5 , Feb 07 2014

 Mick Taylor

Mick Jagger & Pair of Charlie's Sticks

"Historical" moment as THE ROLLING STONES  rehearsed WITHOUT Keith Richards (he's back to London as he's having a grand-child from what I've heard) and WITH  Mick Taylor.

They struggled a bit on a couple of songs, only one guitar...just needed to get it going without the Riffmeister at the very beginning but afetr several attempt it was steaming...
Difficult to say on which songs exactly Mick played  but to the best of our knowledge MT played on all songs rehearsed on Fri 7 Feb.

SETLIST DAY 5:

1) Silver Train

2) Ventilator Blues (intro only)

3) Sway ( several attempt -4 or5)

4) Get Off of My Cloud

5) Let it bleed

6) Live with me ( with false start)

7) Respectable

------

8) Angie (?)

9) Street of love (x2)

----

10) She's so cold

--------

11) Heartbreaker (x2)

12) Can't you hear me knocking ( fantastic version, sounded like on the original album)

14) Emotional Rescue

15) Moonlight Mile (x2)

16) Shine a light

Chances of having The Stones playing a "secret" show @ Trianon on Feb 10th... well... I give it 10% ( Note:  only MY personal opinion)
It could be in another club (on the same day ???), maybe the Trabendo one more time (?)

The good news is:
Jackie Lombard , who's the CEO of the French Promoter came to pay a visit to the Stones at the hotel.
So I guess that it's looking good for a future concert @  Stade de France for the summer.
HELL YEAHHH !!!

Ennio Morricone @ Bercy, Paris Feb 04 2014

 Ennio Morricone @ Bercy, Paris Feb 04 2014

So...Legendary Ennio Morricone is in town, it's been a while.
Last time he played in Paris was @ Palais des Congrès 11 years ago, backstage he was given the medal of the city of Paris.
Tonight he's playing a much bigger hall, we're @ the 13000 capacity (all seated) arena : Bercy and believe or not: it's sold-out with prices ranging from 45 euros (just a few) to 150 euros.

We have very nice seats in the stalls on the right but as Ennio is playing (read : conducting) facing the orchestra, we went to sit down behind the stage on the right side on what is supposed to be the worst seats which are in fact the best tonight as we're facing Ennio Morricone.

First there is a long introduction, an interview with The Master that is shown on the screens on each side of the stage , subtitled in French as The Master only speaks italian.
The short movie is quite long ( 5 min+) so the audience is starting booing but when Ennio is walking up the stairs to the stage , he's welcomed like a proper Rock Star but it doesn't seem to distract him at all.
I've never seen so many people on a stage: 86 piece orchestra and 75 voice choir.
We're getting treated to a Best of  with many famous soundtracks:

-Ist part of the concert with "Le clan des Siciliens", and the most famous parts of Sergio Leone's Western movies & "Once upon the time in America" plus a few others.
It's powerful

There is a 20 minute intermission
-Then second part with "Le professionnel"," Cinema Paradiso" and "La Bataille D'Alger" "The Mission" and many others

There is an encore with another version of The Good The Bad The Ugly's "Ecstacy of Gold" performed for the second time tonight to rousing applause.
Quite Amazing.

Rolling Stones' Rehearsals in Paris Day 1, Feb 03 2014

14 on Fire

Keith & Ronnie in Paris (thanks to Laurent D)

Finally the Stones are in Paris for the rehearsals of the "14 on Fire" Tour.
We were expecting them to start last week, everything was ready in the studio for a few days now just waiting for them to turn up.
The band arrived on saturday, Charlie and Ronnie from London on Eurostar, Keith on sunday from the US of A, from reports: he was on the same plane as Tenniswoman Serena Williams.
Chuck Leavell and Darryl Jones are here too, no one else...
Of course Mick Jagger is here , he was the last one to get into the studio,as usual, and waved to fans on his way in and out (from what I've been told).

Paris is freezing now.
The band after a few months' rest is very tight, they only messed up "Doom & Gloom" with several false starts and finally nailed it. They played it again for security.
The band is on fine spirit.

John Butler Trio @ L'Album de la Semaine, 8:00pm & Nouveau Casino 11:00pm Paris Jan 27 2014

John Butler Trio @ L' Album de la Semaine, Paris Jan 27 2014, 8:00pm

Nouveau Casino, Paris Jan 27 2014, 11:00pm

Album de la Semaine TV show for Canal+: 

Setlist for Canal+ above

JBT is back with a new album, he's promoting it with lots of press :interviews and live performances, tonight he's @ canal+ to play a short 7 songs set of mostly new songs.

I can't remember the last time we saw him on a stage, probably a few years. Same pop-folk-rock lots of nice songs and a bit of wild distorted sounding guitar on...acoustic guitar.

Great new songs. Link to the audio recording HERE

Album de la semaine du 08/02 - John Butler Trio

Nouveau Casino, Paris Jan 27 2014, 11:00pm

We then rushed to the Nouveau Casino club at the other side of Paris for the 10:00pm show. It will be a late start, lots of people are queuing on the pavement outside (see video here) to get in, its freezing outside.It's past 30 and the doors are still closed.

The band is getting on stage around 11:00pm, the gig is sold-out so is the Trianon in May, a new show had just been added @ Olympia theatre in July.

As usual John is smiling, we have lots of new song which are sounding very good indeed. Both his sidemusicians are leaving the stage mid-show , John is sitting down and we have a 12 min long instrumental on acoustic guitar that reminds me of the Led Zep acoustic break during their concerts with Jimmy Page on the twelve stings. Very cool.

The concert couldn't be complete without "Zebra" and the audience participation (he also played it @ Canal+ a couple of hours before).

People complained a bit when John said they were about to play the last song for tonight. I guess he was a bit tired with all the promo he did today.

Show ended with "Livin' in the city" (here on video below) after 75 min.

Nice set.
