Hi there.
this would be the 1st time i’m gonna see Lu on stage in a small place.
(she’s not very famous in france, shame on us 😳 & deserves to play in stadium ,but it’s ok, in a small club we can appreciate her show with more comfort)I would like to know how a lucinda’s 2007 gig’s like?
of course i got all her official live cds & dvds…Did she met her fans @ the end of the gig & make some autograph session?
Can we purchase the live’s cds at this moment?
do you advise me the rey’s session or the Ny’ sessions?Joe, you are very fortunate to be able to see Lu in a small place! That sounds so good, I am tempted to fly over for this show, myself… NO STADIUMS, svp!!
I saw her 5 times this year, and each performance was very different. The one prediction I can make is that no show is predictable. I saw a raw, loose, emotional performance (Jazzfest in New Orleans) and a smooth, flawless show (in New Jersey), an energized rockin’ show (near Philadelphia), and in-between. I saw the last show in New York, which was lovely — the album set was sweet and even a bit melancholy, and the second set with guests David Byrne and David Johansen was fun, like a party.
There can be uneven spots — for example, she re-starts her songs sometimes because she wants them to be right — and these things affect the audience in different ways; some do not like these rough edges. My advice: Have no expectations, and enjoy the moment as a creative act. Her voice and songs are always extraordinary, and her band is just amazing.
(Others on this site are more knowledgeable than me, and I am sure can tell you a lot more.)
The live CDs of the El Rey and NYC are great and I recommend them both; however, she does seem more “at home” at the El Rey. (To order, you have to click at the bottom of the home page, not on the “store” link.)
A small, intimate club in Paris will certainly be interesting. I am envious!
Thanks Ray four your answer.
Yes this club can be filled with 700 people max 8)
This is not the club when big star play when they come in Paris but the good advantage is that we get closer to the show 😀
It’s a fact that Lu is unknown among the french whole people even though it’s says a lot of good stuff about her on french specialised music ‘s magThanx Lu for coming for your french fan’s.
I’m a huge one, know her since car wheels & fell in luv with her songs & was dying to see her in france (she toured in england,netherland but never in france 😥 )@joe_from_paris wrote:

Not in France, but at least in Belgium. Saw her last year in Brussels, pretty good show, very enthusiastic audience… Gonna be in Paris too.
I ‘ll see Lucinda for the first time live next Tuesday in Basel and then again next Friday in Paris. Looking very much forward to those events. Can’t wait!!! Joe from Paris: Is the crowd in Paris usually an enthusiastic one?
D-8 🙂 dying to be there 8)
❓ can’t answer you ,but people who gonna attend the show will be people very keen on music & as far as i’m concerned Me & my bro we gonna “rock” this place 😆 because it’s been a long time that we’ve waiting for LU’s show in Paris:10 years@broken butterfly wrote:

I would say Paris crowds can be very enthusiastic but they are also very respectful. So no partying at the back of the hall like the English often do. Everybody listens and then makes loads of noise at the end of the song as opposed to during the song. I have seen concerts all over the place (I’m not French) and Paris is best! … but I’ve never been to Basel!
Can’t wait for tomorrow’s concert. If you’ve never been to the Trabendo before it can be a little difficult to find. The first time I went we queued at the Zenith for half an hour before we realised our mistake! As you walk through the park from porte de pantin/cité de la musique, it is in a wooded area on your right. It is signposted but not very well. If you get to a very large concert area – the Zenith – you’ve gone too far!
See you all tomorrow!
😀 😉 yes!!!!!!! this is the DAY, 😀 watch out about the metro/rer because of the strike 😕 or come earlier with the car because it’s been a shit for 1 week in France because of the Strike 🙄
for the fun i’m gonna wear the same t-shirt (black/yellow branded Asics 😳 in the front) 😆 , Hope she gonna notice it 😳
I wore the same outfit as she did on the cover of “World Without Tears” to a show. I got noticed…but it wasn’t the good kinda noticed…. 😯
Great show !! less than 200 people i think?
just stand very closed from the stage (nearly 5feet, only 2 people in front of me)…
i was a little confused @ the beginning coz she stop the 1st song twice & made a joke about artist leaving the show 😕Ventura? 😀
