What a great night. The Rex is a superb venue with great sound and terrific ambience. This was my third time seeing Tom and the magic certainly hasn't worn off yet. If anything he seems an even stronger showman than when I saw him at the Rex in 2000. Highlights for me were You can never hold back spring, Cold cold ground, Tom traubert's blues and and awesome versions of eyeball kid and dirt in the ground. Tres bon!
This was the first time i`ve seen Tom live and it was everything I hoped it would be!! Great show, great venue and seeing the man himself and hearing THAT voice live was pretty special to say the least. So glad he played TT Blues and Bottom Of The World. Also the security weren`t at all bothered about cameras, I was snapping away and filming on and off all night with a security guy right next to me!! Only downside was that I thought the T-shirts were a bit naff!! No dates or venues on em and the XL was still quite small, but thats a minor gripe. Roll on Edinburgh and Dublin!!!
"You Can Never Hold Back Spring" is missing on that playlist. It was before or after "The briar and the rose", if anyone remembers.
My memory says "Briar" was the first number he played at the piano and "Spring" was next. Otherwise I think the setlist is correct.
ooops yep, I've checked, and 'Spring' was indeed
between Briar and the Rose and Lucky Day. One of my fave tunes
too, duhhh.
what happened that lucky day was aborted? anyboby !
He was less than 20 seconds into Luck Day when he hit a duff note and just stopped. Made a quick joke about it and then launched into Tom Traubert's Blues.
I couldn't make the UK dates so pushed the financial boat out to see Tom for the first time, not knowing what to expect. Fabulous nuit! The venue, the passion of the crowd, the exceptional band and what a showman! Delayed start added to the anticipation - maybe why he moved on to TT Blues (?). Get more dust on your boots and see him live, say I!
What a great and unforgettable night! Thanx Tom and Thanx Paris! i o c
hi there ! i was at this concert ... was my very firts one to see Tom. Just listen to him since nearly 30 years ! Unforgettable for my eyes and ears. Hope to see some recording. Cheers to all. N@e
This was the best of the three shows I saw this tour. Great performance, great setlist, great venue, great city.
The seats were something else - cheaper than both Edinburgh and Dublin - closer to the stage and more comfortable - whoever organised the Ratcellar take note. Also there were no constant streams of people interrupting you to go and get a beer as in Dublin.
Russian Dance is credited for the Dublin lists, but in fact in Paris Tom finished Rain Dogs with the melody of Russian Dance... In fact one of the magic moment of this night...
For me "Chocolate Jesus" version with the loudspeaker was deeply awesome... I've kept this song in my head since this night.
Tom is my man.
@bertrand.monier : I've corrected the Paris set lists and added 'Russian dance'.
