Executive Summary:
- Metro line 14 wasn't running tonight, so I had to take 2 buses to get there. I accidentally got off way too early on the first bus so I must have walked a good mile to get to the next bus.
- Got to the venue (that permanently docked boat on the Seine river) right as the first band was playing, they're French and are ok, nothing special (well, their bassist has boobs!).
- Roadie setting up the drums for Dead Boys and placing the setlists all over the stage floor is actually their original drummer, who's been back on drums for a few years. Rocks a mean skullet!
- They busted out with Sonic Reducer right out the gate, great way to get things going.
- Faux Stiv does a great job fronting the band. Tall/skinny guitarist on the far left looks like Steve Riley, except that the left side of his hair is died black, the other side blond.
- Bass player rocked a big Burberry scarf during the first two songs.
- Cheetah Chrome was having a bit of trouble with the Orange amp that the opening band's guitarist loaned him. Also, his guitar solos sounded like crap, but the amp was not to blame!
- CC mentioned that he always feels a bit sad playing in Paris as that's where Stiv died, he dedicated Flame Thrower Love to him.
- Venue was 3/4 packed, 90% dudes, ages within the crowd ranged from mid-20's to 60's
- I left 2/3 into Dead Boys set, right after I Need Lunch, because I needed dinner. So I missed the closer Ain't it Fun...
- Metro line 6 wasn't running either, so I had to walk 15 minutes to catch a bus home. (Was hoping to read *ech*'s Lucifer review on the long ride back but can't find the link!) This is probably the only time I've ever gotten to-and-from a show solely by bus. #punkrawk
