The Medusa Fora

Hi !

Awesome show...best I have seen in the last 10 years...

Good night !

See ya tomorrow...

I'll second that, although it is just not the same with out Philip singing 1000s. Shane did 1000s, very well I might add, and great to hear Andrew sing "Star" and Terry on "Ned". A splendid evening had by all. And meeting so many Medusans for the first time, excellent night.

This was amazing sound great the band great the singer was just that a singer in the greatest band of all time:)

How about a full report someone, if anyone is still on their feet! Or a set list would be good. What else was added to the normal list apart from "Star", thats one of my all time favourites. So wish I could be there. Enjoy tonight you lucky people, I'm sure this is going to be an all time classic live album.

I'm about to crash, however I will tell you Ella Finer did join Shane for FONY. She looked and sounded so lovely that even Shane, along with everyone else, was entranced with her and he forgot to jump back in when his line came up. I would not mind a bit if tonight's version made the DVD as it was still a thing of beauty.

Clas Cadillac i agree the version tonight was great of FON. It was was a greatest hits pack that will be great on dvd missed waltzing and boat train, white ci. Thousands was great even it was not Philip that sung it. looked like Shane put his heart into it. Everything was great 10 out of 10 looking forward to tomorrow:)

Simon, come find us at Kitty O'Sheas (only a block from the venue) before the show and say hello, just shout "looking for Medusans" if you don't see us right away, although the Swede's are hard to miss as they will be singing Pogues songs at the top of their lungs.

I will clash cadillac. Maybe i even said a quick hell as i been there for the last 2 nights. Tomorrow i will shout:)

Here is a photo of me from 6 years ago. I look about the same.

Has anyone the complete setlist?

Yesterday was just GREAT!!!! Met medusans, heard two songs i never thought i will,... I'll probably have a smile on my face for a while

Great show last night, set list was started with Streams, finished with Fiesta and did loads of others inbetween.

I have been to Paris several times before, but never at this time of year, is it common for it to snow here in early September?

Thought that it was a slightly older than normal crowd last night, though just as lively.

It made a change to see the singer under the spotlight, he even took his shades off for the second half of the show (maybe thiught that Spider may try and seek revenge for the New Orleans gig a few years ago.
