Shocking. (Score:0)
Just back from the gig (Score:3, Informative)
Just back from Le Zénith. I feared that Mozz would be tired, or not in a good mood, but it was OK, he seemed happy to be there, with some comments between the songs.
He wore a brown suit, with black shirt (then blue and red). He said something about being in Pigalle this afternoon (a neighborhood of Paris, famous fot his hot nights) and some other things i didn't really understood, except the fact he had nothing to do with music industry and had no company deal anymore...
The gig was a good one, but, as always with Momo, too short (just more than an hour, with just one encore). He played the same tarcklisting as in Lille, i think.
The best songs, in my opinion, were the Smiths ones. "Why don't you find out..." was a good surprise.
The band played too loudly for me. This "wall of sound" does not match with those beautiful songs, in my opinion. But the sound in that place is always awful, so no surprise in fact.
It was a good evening, Le Zénith was not full but quite crowdy enough. People seemed to be pleased, and I was, personnally.
Thanks Momo for this gig, hope to see you again soon in Paris.

Morrissey in very fine form. Great great voice. A few jokes. How Soon Is Now was amazing. The band ruined This Charming Man and, for me, spoiled Cemetry Gates. They're more at ease with big noise than melodies, that's a fact. Moz was quite punchy and concerned by the show. At one time, he lied on the floor as if he had fainted. THere was a kind of thrill than he woke up.

This Charming Man (Score:0)
Hmmmmm. However, I do wish I had seen his 'Years of Refusal' tour as that album continues to impress me and I now consider it the equal of his finest ever records.
It's between TQID, The Smiths, Vauxhall, Quarry and YOR.
Bernard Butler is presently between jobs! Find him Morrissey, track him down and it could be like meeting Johnny Marr all over again. What would have happened if you had never met Johnny? That is what you may be denying yourself by sticking with the dull and unhappening reformed former infatuation junkie.
YOR is wonderful but I cannot remember any of the guitar lines except a couple. Bernard Butler could make Morrissey's band great again rather than merely very good. There is a difference, though I don't expect the great minds of so-low to understand.

Nice gig, not the best (Score:0)
However, the band played with the subtlety of butchers in a slaughterhouse with a very average sound. Jesse Tobias is a disgrace when it comes to performing Smiths songs. Cemetry Gates was a complete letdown, so many rythm mistakes to be noticed in almost every song... God, you do need a decent band.
But in the end, things were fine. After the last year's gig at the Olympia, I really dreaded the worst for this Zenith, and despite a very cold venue, everybody went home slightly happier and, I believe, relieved that HE is still there.
PS Moz, forget Ganglord. It's a tragedy. And SISMS played on a lower tone may be easier for a strained voice, but it sounds really bad for an encore! We really missed a good exit tune.

Paris (Score:0)
The crowd was very quiet almost boring! The show overall was very energetic though. His voice sounded very good! Everytime I go and I think to myself "what else can he do, It's may well be my last time and everytime I walk out thinking: "I'll go back". Moz is just such a unique and charismatic performer!!!
Paris throws its arms around Morrissey (Score:2, Informative)
Morrissey referred to the long war and the lack of a record deal.It was a top show. After 'Is It Really So Strange' he said he never wanted to go back home again. 'Daddy's Voice' and 'Death at One's Elbow' rocked;
Salut!

Malgré la fatigue, Morrissey a encore emerveillé notre soirée. This Charming man était plein de punch. L'interprétation de "The loop" était magnifique. Morrissey était très poche du public.
L'ambiance était correcte.
Une personne a pris le micro et a dit "Bienvenue à paris, Morrissey, ici tu es un homme libre" Et nous nous étions très heureux. Nous avons quitté le concert avec le coeur rempli de bonheur et l'âme dans les étoiles. Vivement le prochain concert en France !!! Merci Morrissey.

He was in a very good mood and like I said, the show was great.
As for Doll and the Kicks, their singer is absolutely beautiful and incredibly sexy but they suck big time!

Dissapointed by the crowd (Score:1)
And it was, I had a great time, enjoyed the setlist and thought Momo was quite chatty and was giving everything... but the crowd wasn't! I was really shocked after being in Ally Pally the week before, where everyone was excited and the eneregy in the audience was amazing! Nothing to do with Paris!
You can call me naïve, but I was expecting everyone to go crazy with I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris... too obvious? Well I was a bit dissapointed when NO ONE even sang it or showed any symptom of excitement about it. No one but me, and I am not from Paris!
Irish Blood, English Heart seemed to wake people up a bit, but it lasted one song.
Don't get me wrong, I loved the concert, just a bit shocked by the people there. And I think Momo was too, at one point he said something like: "Thank you!
