Rehearsal with the New Trio 23
Not Recording: 'Grace Kelly'
Not Recording: 'Creep'
Not Recording: 'Time is running out'
Not Recording: 'Eteins la lumière'
France 3 basement - 21:00 - 00:00 - P: Dude. Present: Dude, Thierry, Arnaud.
For the first we played not to many songs, but we spent a lot of time on them. This was due to the fact that we had a lot of technical problems with my Blue Devil amp.
So we worked hard on "Grace Kelly" and "Creep" and we played 'Time is running out', 'Eteint la lumière' and I guess that was it.

Hey, the great return after two mounts of vacation. It was a hard rehearsal: hard to perform, hard to hear ourselves.... But we managed to sneak in some new songs into the boiling pot: 'Creep', which was cool as expected, 'Grace Kelly', which the boys accepted much to my surprise, 'Eteins la lumière' which was smoking, and we also tried again 'Digging in the dirt'.
At the moment we were playing 'My friends', Kamel came in and he sat down with us for six songs. Apparently he enjoyed it.

I much obliged.

The very last rehearsal before the 21st show. We changed all our settings because we wanted to rehearse in the exact same conditions, with the exact same equipement we would use the day after. So the conditions were totally great. I could hear me singing. Really.
If only every rehearsal in the future could be with this equipement....

This is hands-up the very best rehearsal we ever did. Because I took some time with Mariette Hélou in the afternoon and she coached me into vocal training lessons, which I think helped a lot: I managed to fully sing all those intense songs for 3 hours in a row, without any throat suffering and without any voice loss ! The only thing I have to do is practice a lot, because I'm not comfortable with my new way of singing and sometimes my voice fucks up.
We did all the planned songs for the concert except "Hysteria" and "Exit music (for a film)". It was good.

Maison des Arts et Loisirs, Laon, France - afternoon - P: Dominique Grandfils. - Present: Dude, Coco, Jean, Phil, Mathias Bouyez, Filou, Mathilde, Rocking Cloud, Jean-Louis, Eric, JC OK, Laurent G. and a whole lot of people....
Jean-Louis Polard kindky asked me to participate in his Beatle Day in the wondeful and beautiful town of Laon. He asked for a majority of Beatles tunes, so I obliged. It all went very well, but I believe I sometimes sang out of key, because I could'nt hear my guitar loud enough in the PA system. I had bought my amplifier but I didn't use it. Never again !
My best memory of this day is the time I spent with my friends Calico and Coco. I never had such time in Mons so I tried to enjoy every second of it. We had a blast playing some lose stuff around a table. We did a lot of George's, and Calico played "Just like starting over", some Bee Gees, "Mrs Robinson"... it was great.
Thanks to Dominique Grandfils for the video, and to Rocking Cloud, Dr Robert, and Laurent G. for the photographs.

We didn't record this rehearsal. It was a strange night. We agreed not to play too late, because Nono was quite tired, and there was a kind of urge feeling thru all the songs. We didn't play very well that night so it's cool we didn't record anything ;)
I tried some experiment with the setlist: I made them play all the fast rock numers in a row, and then only the two quiet songs. It was special.

This is a really great rehearsal, because we recorded everything with an outstanding 5.1 device, consisting of a Holophone surround microphone and a digital multitrack recorder. And also because we did our very first, real proper jam !
It happened at the end of "Evil empire, which lasted 22 minutes :)

This has been recorded for the first time directly onto my laptop hard-hardrive. It's cool because I don't have to enter into transfer mode after recording, but it's in mono.
That day we played the usual stuff, and added "Wild west" in the process ! :)
And then, after the rehearsal, I stayed in the room and made good use of my now warmed up voice for some small repairs into the vocal parts of "The wall". I redid the final singing of "Hey you", some sentences in "Run like hell", and one phrase into "Nobody home". I also did the crowd chants at the end of "Waiting for the worms" and "The trial". And then I shouted: "Stop !" :)

I think we finally determined a proper ending for "Sunday papers". And we played a very good "I'm the man" and "Look sharp" duet.
