Review: What to say ?
Expectations were high and they were met.
First, Bercy was packed with people from every possible generation (I even came with my pregnant wife ;-) ).
There were sitting places everywhere but it didn't spoil the quality. I feared that at the begining but no.
The stage was really nice with a huge dobro waiting to go down.
At 8pm, there was an opening part that last 1/2 hour. It was OK and was not too long.
Finally, in a really nice atmosphere, Mark and the guys appeared at 8:45am for a concert that will end 2 hours later.
It started with Cannibals : very powerful, giving a great atmosphere in the crowd.
Then, Wye Aye Man : also very powerful (the opener of the last Shangri La tour)
And a great What it is
From that point, I'm not sure of the order but it should be like that :
Sailing to Philadelphia
Marbletown
Hill Farmer Blues
True love will never fade
Daddy's gone to Knoxville
Postcard from Paraguay
Romeo and Juliet
Sultans of Swing
Speedway to Nazareth
Telegraph Road
... it stopped here for a few minuts... (usual encores)
Brothers in Arms
Shangri La
So far away
Going home (beautiful when the hall is lit up)
All songs were a highlight. People reacted better on Romeo and Juliet and on the other DS songs but everyone was so quiet in listening, like if we all wanted to catch every possible notes.
All in All, it was a really brilliant concert. Mark has the ability to fill up a venue like Bercy with hardly no publicity and I think it is much better like that.
Difficult to say which was the best song.
SOS and TR, even if they've been played hundreds of time are still incredible.
Hill Farmer Blues is very powerful. So is Speedway to Nazareth.
Postcard to Paraguay has a catchy tune.
Going Home is a great ending. I just hope that they would come back after that song but they never do. Oh well...
Thanks to Mark and all the other musicians, around 17,000 people spent and unbelievable evening.
Sound and lighting were amazing contrary to what was said about the first shows.
This was my only concert on that tour but I wish I could see 2 or 3 more.
Ah yes, before I forget, I have filmed most of the concert. Quality is perfect and I plan to upload it on youtube very soon. So...
