Paris gig

[Jay 2]

Just got back from the Paris gig and i have to say that the audience and Justin were amazing!

This was the fist Justin/Dean acoustic gig I have been to and I loved every minute of it, the two were on amazing form and Justin's rapport with the audience was a joy to behold. Loved the set as there were a lot of songs you do not hear in the regular NMA sets, not that there is a regular set.
I take off my hat to Justin every time I see him and on this chilly night in France I was even more ecstatic than usual to hear a crisp clean acoustic set filled with beautiful songs. The atmosphere was electric and at times you could hear a pin drop in hushed expectation.

 As Justin said to the crowd, "you know when to be quiet and when to make a noise," to which the crowd responded, " because we have respect!"

Respect indeed. Bravo!

[Otter]

yeah i really agree with that Jay2

I have seen NMA/ Justin 50+ times & that was right up there with the best

A really respectful crowd, Justin & Dean seemed to rise to the occasion (seemed a bit shaky in the first 2 songs while they got the sound right) and Another Imperial Day, North Star, You Weren't There & Dawn were moving beyond words...

[Otter]

btw i never heard the story behind Sky in Your Eyes before - I always thought it might be about Robert Heaton but clearly not

The show was amazing. Once again.

Got one question : what was that poem that Justin told us ? I was stunned.
"The goods are free to move but not the people,
The guns are free to move but not the people,
The money is free to move but not the people"
etc

I would love to hear it again.

Thanks. Shame on me ! I just made a search and found it.
Well, maybe the fact it was said instead of sung (and I guess cause my english is not that good ahaha).

Great show. Waiting for the next one already.

[Jay 2]

Stil replaying the gig in my head, wish I had an audio of it to treasure.

One question, what was the place in Paris that Justin said he visited that day, the one he liked to which the audience replied that it was touristy but beautiful.

Whilst I am in Paris for two days I would like to visit it.

Cheers! Jason

Yep ! it was Another Imperial Day. He did it a capella during the 30th anniversary tour too

[LN76]

Btw, really good concert & really good night with Mama & Stephany ! girls power        

Now (like everytime...) I want to go to see them again ...arrrg !!!

some pictures will follow but not now, I'm moving....

The show was really great, but I'm a little ashamed, two people above are speaking about what the "crowd" said, the respect thing and the tourist but nice place, and it was twice me  
The thing is that Justin manage, when he speak in between songs, to makes you feel like if you were in your own living room just speaking with a friend ... so next time I will try to not "show off" like that, sorry

So the beautiful place is not in Paris, it's in Normandie, and it's called Etretat. it's very well known in France because of a rock there, that have the reputation to be hollow, and it is were a very famous and very old french novel took place, "Arsene Lupin et l'aiguille creuse" (wikipedia link in english http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hollow_Needle).

Vanity was just ... can't find words, already my favorite song, and yesterday was my favorite performance of it, another imperial day, no music version, makes me chill every time, and Before I get Old was just the most amazing version I could imagine

[Nacho]

It seems it was great. I am sorry I missed it

It was all you!? Ha ha. No need to apologies, I enjoyed the "banter." Did you also call out "Justin for French Prime Minister!" too? That was funny, "petite problem, I cannot speak french." Such a good natured gig.

Thank you for the info and the link on the rock, very interesting and very kind of you. I have one more day in Paris looking at BD art and galleries and then back home to England after a brilliant wonderul concert and some chilly days in Paris.

Wow. what a gig ! very nice atmosphere, cracking setlist.
"Notice me" in accoustic is really stunning.

No, I wasn't the one that called Justin for president But yes, there was a really good spirit between the crowd and them, mostly after the first half of the show
If you're still in Paris, you can go to "le sacré coeur", not for the Church, but because this was the place of a great (but aborted) left wing french revolution, "La Commune". I had a walk with JS there some years ago, and I was amazed as he knew everything about la Commune, even better than myself
Again, wikipedia is such a good source for informations http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_Commune

A nice moving performance by JS & DW. Once again, are we tempted to say, aren't we, folks?? The first 2 songs werent up to the level the rest of the performance took us up to. A question of sound checking, i'd guess.  Notice Me was "the'' moment, as far as i'm concerned.  What was yours, dear NMA fans?
