Golly, gone a couple of weeks, catching up on A-lon List to an awesome surprise. Can't tell you how astonishing it is - a discussion about Ferry vs. Bowie mutates into Ferry vs. Palmer whammed out by Mark vs. The World! (My heart goes out to Aleks for having had the honesty and courage to address a double-standard that frequently runs rampant at this site. (Yes, my Dad is bigger than your Dad! - good tort, Colleen.)) Suddenly the old Bond thread is revived, and we all know the intimacies of the Chicago ticket sales and non sales. Thanks, everyone, for your incredible posts, but is there anything new? Good to see the set list changing with the inclusion of a couple old favorites. Richard, I believe the Bond material you've been treated to in Paris is part of a promo primer in advance of the anticipated 'new Bond film release'. BTW, could our John Barry be thee John Barry, or is that yet another coincidence? Stefan, "Paris can be a very intense experience". - May I suggest notching up its intensity by celebrating New Year festivities there? - now, that, is Paris at its best! To Paula and others who think Ferry reads our babylonian list; please send your "Dear Bryan" emails directly to his address. - Thank you, in advance, for your compliance. Mark S. - who are you calling fat! :) [i would say that TAO must go onto the funeral pyre along with greedy corporate CEO's, fat cats in the oil industry,] ME-OW! Doesn't hurt one bit!!! [btw, isn't avalon rather quiet - especially considering there's a tour on and all that??] Yeah - it speaks volumes, doesn't it.

Welcome back KP. only I wasn't taking on the "World" ...Rather discussing music associated with Ferry..and there is no doubting that Ferry and Bowie do have connections however remote. and considering both men have new albums and are touring at the moment comparisons are bound to be discussed. I thought that was what the site was all about, nothing wrong with differing views...I'd rather discuss music than use the site as a "Flirt Board"....Or am I wrong??? And what are you on about with Aleks....Aleks thought it was understandable for a person to leave the site and abandon Ferry's music because he his getting a divorce. there after i agreed with a third party that it was pathetic.

I was, however, able to find a use for formidable, manifique and merci, merci beaucoup (to Caroline). The jaunt began with an evening dining on frogs legs and crhme Brule in the long lonely shadow of Notre Dame - well it had to be done, and we'd missed our chance in Rotterdam (Jas!). Continued atop a Montmatre hill overlooking a starlit Paris for those who's energy levels had not been depleted by a marathon session of hedonistic hen night mayhem the night before in the Sanderson Hotel. A coq crows and a new day dawns. The lure of coffee, chocolat chaud, culture and couture beckons. The French, being ambivalent about their economy, elect to forgo the 10-4pm shopping frenzy that is now a modern day mainstay of Sundays in Britain and remain reticently ferme to all suggestion but relaxing. So we grab the papiers, retire to a little out of the way cafe (yet again in the long lonely shadow of said cathedral) and discuss all matters political, musical and paradoxical -'twas Ivor who discovered that the surrounding architecture prevented you actually finding a long lonely shadow of Notre Dame but that there was a rue named Shadow Road. We nodded sagely sure that Mr F was aware of this at time of writing and ordered more splats of rich dark chocolate and jugs of hot frothy milk for the best DIY hot chocolate in town. The day drifted past as we ambled through Paris ear marking points of return for the next day. Before we know it it's time to prepare for the first of our Olympian treks, but not without a moment of anxiety for young Ive who's croque monsieur wouldn't lie down and die. As a precautionary measure we had taken Reecey for a series of rabies shots the week before, and stuck him on a course of antibiotics just to be on the safe side. Unfortunately, being the ridiculous Parisian romantic he is, he psychosomatically developed consumptive symptoms, began hanging out in Les Deux Maggots writing stupid French poetry. He is presently incarcerated dans Une Hospital des Invalids. And so to Concert One. Thanks to Caroline everyone had plum front row seats, which Mr F, with a double take, noticed on entry. The first quiet songs seemed more at home in Paris, it wasn't that long ago that we were treated to the lounge delights of an Evening of As Time Goes By at Le Grand Rex and Falling In love Again seems to fit the feeling that the French capital always gives me. Then the beginnings of The Thrill Of It All. We're up we're down, we're up again, up, down more times than a courtesan's pantaloons. French audiences are actually very polite and if you stand obscuring their view they quietly accept it, but it makes you feel very apologetic, and then your reflexes get the better of you and then your conscience kicks in. Oh Ferry concerts can throw up such dilemmas! Anyway, the only surprise being Hiroshima slotted in straight after Fool For Love and then back to Tokyo Joe. Although a welcome inclusion and played faultlessly, it kinda broke the flow somewhat and was in fact swapped around the following night. The usual list followed with the audience finally joining in from Love Is The Drug onwards. Overall a very good concert, band playing well, Ferry in good voice, an educated appreciative audience and fun had by all. Into the cold night air and we're struck by another casualty. Water is administered and we retire to a nearby brasserie. Much chat later and some people have to make their last metros back. We jump into Joe Le Taxis and head off to the Latin Quarter. By some strange quirk we end up in a gay bar that is still serving late into the night, the piano player is a tone deaf young Ray Charles and his "relief" pianist is a cross between Mrs Mills and Fats Domino. Esther makes the mistake of applauding rather too loudly which attracts Fats Mills to our table " Ah see you 're musique loveurs" Oh please, please don't ask us if we have any requests, you just know he won't like the reply. Well at least it kept bloody O'Brien of the keyboard for a change. We stumble out into the cobbled back streets just before the garbage men rattle their way to work. And so to bed and groundhog day. Up at the same time, the usual breakfast and out into the big bad world to revisit found jewels from the day before. We're dangerously developing a routine here. So Ivor and I decide to explore the delights of the Pompidou Centre while Reecey re-enacts Amelie on his new found video recorder. I'm transfixed by the barbarism and just plain stupidness of Viennese Actionist Gunter Brus (whom my mother would describe as a "filthy pervert") but still think he's completely sane compared to Ferry's mate who had himself crucified as performance art. We pop over to say hello to the Duchamps just to complete the Ferry connection, then Ivor departs to become Reecey's Director of Photography elsewhere while I revisit my favourite haunts around the Rue St Denis. Again, much too soon, concert time looms. We meet the O'Briens closer to the venue this time and then realise the evening's gig starts half an hour later than the night before. This gives us time to marvel at the hopeless mime artists in the foyer of Olympia, who literally couldn't mime their way out of a paper bag, and despair at the very, very bad drags -trannie spotting in Paris ain't what it used to be. Ou est le Demi Monde vrai? And now mes dammes et masseurs le concert. This was Paul Thompson's concert. I have never seen him play up such a storm in donkeys years. He was amazing, filling in all over the place and practically sticking his foot through the bass drum on Cruel. In fact the whole band was cooooooking. Lucy went mental on the end of Hiroshima (which was a bit all over the place, as was Tokyo Joe) practically sawing the head off her violin. Julia played everything that wasn't nailed down - I've never noticed how much she contributes before. Colin Good grinned insanely throughout and was so intent on getting on with it that he counted the band into a false beginning on Tokyo Joe as Ferry was introducing Speddo. The two guitarists were fantastic, with Mick Green wearing his belly above his machine gun guitar and Spedding electing to wear his below. Iain Dixon mistook our squinting into the full blown lights for winking and kept winking back. And Mr Ferry did some very, very strange and terribly uncool...well...things. First he swung his arm over his head monkey like and muzzed up his own hair, then he ran an imaginary toy car up his arm, down his jacket and down his leg and finally stood legs astride pretending to ride a horse. What the heck was he thinking. He had us in hysterics. A great big sing along to I Thought and the best extended set I've seen so far was over. It was absolutely fabulous (darhlinks) much better than the first night and with a very loud but very, very good sound mix. Over and out and a cosmopolitan Chris Turner suggests an Irish bar (in Paris?!) where he let's slip that Katie Turner isn't in fact his niece but she could call him Daddy if she wants to. The United Nations of England, Ireland, Scotland, France and Denmark pledge their allegiance and then head back to their own H Q's. Thank you Paris. Je t'aime.
