Great show yesterday in Evreux. Pierre (debaser) and I went together, spent 2 1/2 hours in a traffic jam and missed the opening band but got there on time to see Frank's complete show. I was expecting a very laid-back, country gig for some reason, but it was just the contrary, they rocked harder than ever. Plus Frank wore a black leather jacket, black t-shirt and black sunglasses which made him look really wicked. No Cold Heart Of Stone or Manitoba; the only 2 "slow" songs were How You Went So Far and New House in the middle of the gig, and the rest was really heavy and rocking. The songs from Show Me Your Tears really sound great in concert; I never cared much about The Snake but I think the live version was amazing. All the band seemed in a good mood (except that Rich threw his guitar away at the beginning of the show, I think he was pissed off because of some lights or something, but it didn't last). Frank introduced the band and thanked the crowd at the end. I'm seeing them again next month in Paris and I can't wait.
Setlist was as follows (in order):
Nadine
Black Letter Day
All My Ghosts
The Snake
Velvety
Hermaphroditos
I Want Rock 'n' Roll
How You Went So Far
New House Of The Pope
Goodbye Lorraine
Headache
Robert Onion
Everything Is New
Jane The Queen Of Love
Velouria
Caribou
Cactus
Bullet
California Bound
The Black Rider
Massif Centrale
encore:
Freedom Rock
Abstract Plain
When Will Happiness Find Me Again
Where Is My Mind

Mmm... It looks like they're alternating between "Goodbye Lorraine" and "Horrible Day".
This sounds like a really great tour. Wish it was (officially) recorded... It would make a kickass live CD.
Merci pour le compte rendu, Denis!

Nothing like kicking off the encore with Freedom Rock. Was this your first show, Denis?

No, did I sound like it was? It was my 4th, after Paris '96, St Malo '01 and Paris '03. But this year's parisian gig was a solo acoustic set, and I missed half of the St Malo concert due to heavy traffic, so I had never really enjoyed a full Catholics show until yesterday.
And yeah, Freedom Rock was awesome.

Very nice thanks! Did Frank converse in French at all throughout the night?

"Merci, à la prochaine". I think that was all.

I forgot the low point of the show: there was no merchandising at all, and I couldn't grab a poster from the wall, as I got out of the theatre too late. Serafin gave away free stickers and promo CDs, I listened to it yesterday, and it turns out it consists of 6 half-songs, which is rather stupid. They actually sound kind of good, but they stop abruptly after a minute or so. I guess they want to prevent piracy, but that's weird anyway.

j'ai raté ce concert et je m'en veux d'autant que je suis originaire d'Evreux!
Bien sur, je serai au Bataclan.
Personnelement, j'ai vu les pixies(dernier concert parisien au Zénith, 1990 ou 1991), j'ai raté la tournée Doolitle ou bossanova au zénith aussi (1988 ou 89) concert archi complet! j'étais dehors!
J'ai vu franck une dizaine de fois:
- Tournée TOTY, il avait joué une semaine entière dans le 13 ème arrondissement de Paris (1993?)+ une autre date à l'Elysée Montmarte quelques mois + tard.
- Pas vu le concert à l'olympia sur la tournée COR (j'étais ce soir là à Bercy ACDC!!!!)
-Ensuite, je crois que c'est la tournée Pistolero à l'Elysée Montmartre
- Tournée DITS à l'Elysée Montmartre (mon concert préféré)
Ah oui, j'ai oublié St Malo mais comme toi Vilain, j'ai raté la moitié du concert à cause du traffic (quelle mauvaise organisation d'autant que Frank était programé à 21H (il a joué vers 17H)En plus quand tu vois les daubes qu'il y avait après, j'étais furax!
Bon bref les gars,Qui dit mieux???

ça me paraît assez court ces concerts... par rapport à 2001 notamment... loin du concert de Rennes qui a duré quasiment 3 heures avec 36 ou 37 morceaux... mon meilleur à ce jour
j'étais furax aussi pour la route du rock... car entendre que frank a déjà commencé alors que t'es en train d'arriver sur le site...
j'ai hâte aussi de voir Serafin, car j'aime beaucoup leur album en ce moment... |
