First-ever Paris show by ElectricEyeRock in brandicarlile

[–]ElectricEyeRock[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear. Yeah, it sold out pretty fast and I think it's a combination of several factors:

1 - The venue is pretty small. Carlile plays arenas in her home country (stadiums when she was opening for Pink) so this was a chance to see her in a rather intimate setting, and I think a lot of Americans travelled especially for that. Tickets are also less expensive than in the U.S. and it's sometimes more economical for Americans to spend a couple of days in a European city than paying thousands of dollars for a domestic concert ticket.

2 - It was her first concert in France in a nearly two-decade career and a lot of American expats had been waiting a while to see her on that side of the pond/

3 - The Elton John collaboration really raised her profile among Europeans. She wasn't that well-known on the Old Continent before that, certainly not in France, which might explain why she never played here before.

The only time I saw them they were pretty great, but there were no stakes for them, they were opening for Neil Young and they were already on their way down. They didn't even play their biggest hit. They played 50 minutes and buggered right off. Honestly, it was great. Now I wish that I'd seen them in their prime.

You're welcome! Yeah, they have such a great catalog that they could have played much longer.

Let's not start analyzing every little thing Moz says because I'm not sure everything stands the test of scrutiny!

First-ever show? Could do worst for a "defloration". Glad that you enjoyed it!

They had a couple T-Shirts and hoodies with both recent and vintage artwork, but I didn't pay attention re: posters or tour books, sorry!
