Marseille was a great show. However after attending Twickenham gig a week earlier, we can say Twickenham show was greater: performance, sound, riff, solo, audience, venue,... Forum: Tell Me
The first time I heard the Stones was in 1963.
The first time I attended one of their gigs was in Nice on June 13th 1976.
Since then I saw them on stage 45 times. Forum: Tell Me
On French Radio RTL, Mick Jagger spoke in French about gig in Marseille. His interview was recorded in Chicago a few weeks ago. His French is quite fluent. Forum: Tell Me
Great show at a brand new venue. The Stones were the first ones to play in there.
The Stones have been terrific as usually...
I'll be there again next Sunday and Wednesday. Forum: Tell Me
I got my tix for the 3 gigs at U arena near Paris this morning at 10:05. I got them by the skin of the teeth.
The venue is still under construction. Let’s hope electricity will be fixed on schedule! Forum: Tell Me
John MAYALL to-morrow night at the Olympia in Paris.
In 1973 I saw him for the first time at the Mississippi River Festival in Saint Louis, Missouri.
In the meantime, I saw him in 2008 at the Bataclan in Paris. Forum: Tell Me
The subway Duroc Station in Paris is full with Stones pictures for the release of Blue & Lonesome.
The pictures on the walls were taken during the gig at Stade de France. Forum: Tell Me
It seems that Blue & Lonesome has been recorded in the 60’s.
The bass is not loud enough on CD; as a result, the sound is somewhat disappointing.
However the Stones made great blues versions, such as “I can’t be satisfied” during Milan rehearsal on Bigger Bang tour.
Anyway, it’s good to hear pure blues. Forum: Tell Me
Thanks a lot for posting this very rare footage.
This was the first time I saw the Stones in person. I had been waiting during 13 years since 1963.
The first song of the gig was Honky Tonk Women. I remember the whole gig as if it was to-day. I was right in front of stage.
I am still keeping my ticket. Forum: Tell Me
I saw Havana Moon last night at la Geode in Paris.
La Geode is a spherical movie theater. The screen is huge and curved. The sound is prodigious.
The Stones are absolutely terrific. The Cuban audience is extraordinarily enthusiastic. Forum: Tell Me
