He miraculously singer, musicians Pogues, the French producer of the show, BenjiProd all won their bet: to celebrate success in Paris in 2012 the 30th anniversary of this major Irish band of the 80s and 90s. They even did better than revive the forties and fifties nostalgia from all over Europe and the Celtic nation. They managed two nights during in a complete Olympia for ages and warm like a pub in Kilkenny, a very very big fiesta. To make a turn pale with envy Patrick Sébastien (note: that, yes, he used the song "Fiesta" as one of its generic variety shows).
When three years ago, the two patterns BenjiProd, show producers based near Avignon (which turns the particular Commitments and Dubliners) and especially fans of the first of the Pogues, had this rash but brilliant idea meet the group at the time of his thirty-year career, which is more in France, however, have not found many allies. Suffice to say that on Wednesday evening they savored their success by looking at the Olympia standing to cheer in unison and resume Pogues "Ditry old town", but also a warm welcome to their foals, carefully selected for their first night part two , The Moorings, Strasbourg youth who are natives of Cork that there would only fire.
Two words on this excellent group that had the opportunity to form his semi-acoustic. They only had a half hour to get their message across, but they managed to warm the spirits and legs with their Celtic folk-rock, not so far from the spirit of hard punk of Flogging Molly (whose they also repeat a title). The five musicians, led by a bearded singer physics old sea dog, a pretty redhead violin and flute and a banjo player to look very close to Paul Simonon (The Clash bassist) have also presented several tracks from their recent album, "Pints and glory" (is it necessary to translate?), whose very effective compositions like "Away from home" and again as "The Irish rover", including traditional Irish popularized by the Dubliners. Hopefully they repasseront only by Paris so we can judge them on a whole set ...
Speaking of the Clash, it is precisely they who have made the public wait for the intermission, when he was not at the bar to run the beer pumps with timeless pearls as "Magnificent sevent" "The call up" and "Straight to hell". But traditional twenty minutes turned into fifty minutes and the fans began to worry about not seeing their heroes. We know the fragile health of Shane MacGowan, the fruit of thirty years of various addictions, and his propensity to lose before an appointment. But at 21:20, the light was finally extinguished and eight Pogues returned one after the other ... Shane MacGowan came last, suit and tie on white shirt, sunglasses, gait broken, bent back, the rounded frame, with a cigarette in one hand and in the other it was to be a full glass of gin.
Twenty years they had not seen the full Paris! Inevitably, the Pogues have aged, more or less, more or less. Some wear the goat with charm, others hide their baldness as caps old school Spider flutist dry may be the one who has changed the least. But their music, it has not aged. When they attack "Streams of Whiskey", their first album "Red roses for me" 1984, and "If I shoulds fall from grace with god", from the album of the same name, the motor restarts smoothly stroke and unique mixture of punk and Celtic roots redone English effect immediately. Especially as a pleasant surprise, MacGowan is with them with us.
Even if his body now operates diesel, although his voice broken old hooligan is a bit slurred, the potion has a magical effect on him. Shane MacGowan looks happy in the midst of his friends and thanks in French as her screams cowboy punk concluding pieces pêchus are most pleased to hear. The group chained in a very festive atmosphere "Broad Majestic Shannon" by "If I fall ... shoulds" and "Greenland Whale Fisheries" "Red roses for me" before spinning a good old blow blues " A pair of brown eyes ", heartbreaking ballad torn and remains one of their greatest hits.
Shane MacGowan disappears to leave the microphone for Tracy Spider "Tuesday morning", as very clashien that he wrote for the album "Waiting for herb" in 1993, and again for "Kitty" ("Red Roses" ) and "The Sunnyside of the Street", which is the only track on the album "Hell's Ditch" in 1990. It is always a pleasure to hear "Thousands are sailing" and "Lullaby of London", two new excerpts from "If I fall shoulds" (which will be celebrated as the first two albums) but it is "Body of year american "just give a good boost to the room. The Pogues are then joined by a horn section, a small but sturdy, which wraps the title in a well-rounded and warm jacket. In the pit in the stands, half standing, the public is already swimming. And we are only half of the concert ...
It promises for the future ...
