June 8, 2000; The Bercy, Paris, France
Guillaume BON (willbon@hotmail.com): June 8, 2000; Bercy, Paris. It was the first time I went to see a Pearl Jam concert. It all began at 2 am in Lyon when we decided to leave for the show. 5 hours and 450 km later we where at Bercy. I didn’t enjoy that much the first part but the Vandals where perfect for that. And then it was them, the band I have been expecting to see for more than 8 years, and I had the best place (for me), in front of the stage in the second rank just between Eddie and Stone with a good view on Matt and Jeff. The 3 first songs were an entrance to the show, when the pubic is completely mad and the band not completely here, but when they start to play Gods’ Dice every body was in harmony. I was happy to ear how the new songs were grate on stage, and I realise that Insignificance and Grievance where as good as the songs from the first albums.
The Rearviewmirror we had that night is unforgettable, with a wonderful jam
in the middle.
The first encore was incredible, so electric, everybody went crazy. Mike
exploded his pink stratocaster on the corner of an amp, breaking the body in
two parts. And after having changed it for the metallic green SG, he just
run around the band’s place on stage.
At the end of Fuckin’up, Stone stand on the side of the stage to see
Mike trying to get the best of is SG’wood as if he were inhabit by a
Pete Townshend demon.
I really appreciate the show we had that night. Eddie told us how happy he
was to be in Paris. I hope that, the next time the band will make another
show in the south of France. |
