Photo Fever @ Carrousel du Louvre, Paris, From Nov 14 to Nov 16 2014

Photo Fever @ Carrousel du Louvre, Paris, From Nov 14 to Nov 16 2014

Another photo Art Fair in Paris, we've been to Le Grand Palais for Paris Photo, it's very expensive and not very rock even though we saw a Pic of Bon Scott in a frame for 225 000 euros and the guy from the galery told me it was Keith Richards (?!?), had to prove him wrong. There were also a few Pics from the Clash but that was it.

Here at the Carrousel du Louvre it's more rock with 3-4 galeries selling rock pics:

 Dominique Tarlé @ Galerie de L'Instant with ROLLING STONES pics from Nellcote +  Gered Mankowitz pics from the Stones as well.

 Other photographers including Norman Seef & Tony Franck (Rolling Stones, Ike & Tina Turner, Serge Gainsbourg...)

 Gerard Malanga who worked with Andy Warhol @ Factory in NYC

Iggy Pop, Velvet Underground, Mick & Keef, Patti Smith...

SLASH @ Zénith, Paris Nov 12 2014

SLASH @ Zénith, Paris Nov 12 2014

This is the first of two shows @ Zénith in Paris

Tonight is sold-out

Arrived too late to see opening Monster Truck , we've been told they were good.
The Zénith is packed with people from all ages and many girls, I mean more girls than the average heavy metal concert.
The atmosphere is hot and to my surprise lots of youngsters, who all know songs from the new album. The band is firing on all cylinders.
SLASH doing a great job on guitar apart from the 10 min (yes 10 min+ ) guitar solo on "Rocket Queen" that is plain boring and useless. How to ruin the ruin my favorite song from GNR.

The bass player is singing two songs and is doing a great job. Myles Kennedy is a very good showman even if his high pinched voice is sometimes annoying.

  Great set

Les Vieilles Canailles: Johnny Hallyday, Eddy Mitchell, Jacques Dutronc @ Paris Bercy, Nov 09 2014

Les Vieilles Canailles: Johnny Hallyday, Eddy Mitchell, Jacques Dutronc @ Paris Bercy, Nov 09 2014

Soirée Best Of... pour nos trois gloires nationales, public de quadra, voir de quinqua, ambiance un peu calme même si le public dominical du parterre se "révolte" en se levant et en se précipitant devant la scène bien avant le feu vert officieux "Gabrielle".

Quelques canapés sur scène,qui ne serviront pas,  un écran géant au fond et un bar sur la droite pour permettre a chacun des chanteurs de se reposer pendant que l'autre , ou que les autres chantent.

Quelques titres en solo, quelques titres en duo et puis bien sûr les trois ensemble.

Ils sont en voix, Johnny assure le mieux , quant au pauvre Dutronc , il fait peur à voir, il ne doit pas fréquenter la même clinique Suisse que Johnny. On dirait une momie de 80 ans, il a du mal à marcher et lorsqu'il s'aventure, un peu, à coté du micro qu'il ne lâche quasiment pas du concert , très certainement de peur de tomber, il marche bien difficilement, jambes bien écartées de façon a garder son équilibre, que l'on devine bien précaire.On est bien triste de le voir comme ça.

Schmoll assure mais c'est quand même Johnny le Boss qui recueille la plus grande ovation et qui tient la barraque.

Les titres s'enchainent bien chacun y allant de son petit tour de chant pendant que les "collègues" observent, tranquillement assis derrière, au bar.

Un concert assez sympa dans l'ensemble mais pas de quoi casser trois pattes à un canard.

"Les Vieilles Canailles" très certainement une trouvaille de producteurs afin de payer son dernier tiers ou son redressement fiscal.
