Hi there !



I saw this evening, in the subway, a tour date for the Chemical Brothers in Paris !

It was mentionned : 25th of february.



Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any info about it yet.

Could someone help me just to make sure that my eyes didn't play tricks on me ? ;)



Thx !

Otherwise, I guess that I'll have to wait for a few days

;-)

that should be right as they are supposed to play 26th and 27th in germany and they always visit paris (le zennith???) before playing in germany

Thx for the info.



You're right, they usually organize their gig in "Le Z�nith". :)

that was just a typo :) :-//

You guys should follow the Chems from venue to venue - Grateful Dead style (but without the pathouli!)

^ haha i watching VH! yesterday and it had a show called my coolest years all about hippies and stuff and they talked about the greatful dead. It was very interesting. My manager at Taco Bell was a total hippie and still is to some extent. He as all the 50 million Phish live cds. I saw his collection and was blown away by the number of bootlegs and live recordings. Ofcourse we smoked some pot after that. Ah good times

I went to see Jerry Garcia (and the Jerry Garcia Band) perform on Jerry's 50th birthday. It was a sort of last minute thing. My good friend was really into the Dead, and her brother & his girlfriend spent their summers following them around. My friend and I were supposed to go to another local gig (supporting a local band) but it was my chance to see the jam band legend so why the hell not.



The venue where we saw Jerry Garcia had actually banned the Dead from playing there, but Jerry Garcia could perform with "the Jerry Garcia Band."

(really stupid reasons, too) So... it was sort of like the Dead but without all the effects.



Anyway - the Dead shows were known for the parking lot fare, and the parking lot was insane just like I'd heard. I got offered so many drugs it was unreal! The whole Dead scene was a fascinating subculture, a sort of microculture that lived and fed off of itself. There were people who spent years and years caravaning all around the country watching the Dead, and they lived out of their cars and cooked food/made clothes/etc. to make money.



I didn't have a ticket when I got to the show. I felt really out of place, being the only goth n'all. ;) But everyone was really, really nice and really excited about Jerry's birthday. My friend's brother said, "don't worry about your ticket... just walk around with your index finger in the air - that says you're looking for a 'miracle.'" So I walked around the parking lot with my index finger in the air and in 10 minutes I had my miracle ticket.



Unfortunately the show was incredibly lack luster and only lasted a little over an hour. Nothing to write home about - it was probably the 2nd most uneventful and forgettable show I'd ever been to (Steven Stills being the 1st) He did do a nice version of Louis Armstrong's "It's A Wonderful World" which closed the set - but there was a lot of "Happy Birthday" singing from the crowd. I think Jerry ended up having a heart attack a week later, so I felt bad about being negative about his show. Anyway. Definitely an interesting peek into a subculture I couldn't identify with before.

I'm sure the council will employ you to clean up sewage.

i've got enough jobs... organize concerts, work as a youth language trips group leader, work for a theatre... nervertheless, money's always gone :(

I always thought the best way to travel and hear great music was to be a roadie, or be a part of the touring crew. It would be super hard work physically and emotionally, away from home and family and friends + long hours putting up and tearing down and loading away stages - but imagine how rewarding it would be to see all the magic pulled together, and see the people in the crowd enjoying themselves. And the memories of everything.



Of course even better is to just have the financial means to sit back and relax and enjoy the shows from venue to venue. That would be the life!!



My friend (the chick that was into the Dead) and I went to several U2 shows together during the Achtung Baby days, and we'd get to the venue early and watch the crew running around getting all the shit together. Those shows were so big, the set-up was massive and it was really neat to see a show evolve like that from the ground up. To go from nothing to something. And a couple of times after the shows, we'd hang out where the big rig trucks were, and watch the crew bring out the stage, trunk by trunk, wire by wire.
