Peter Doherty + Alan Corbel
@ Fleche d' Or Paris Jan 18th 2010

Alan Corbel

Get there around 7:30 PM doors were already opened, jeeezzz couldn't believe my eyes the queue is streching all along the block, pretty sure than 3/4 of the people queueing couldn't get in.

Hard to get in the venue as kids were pushing their way in & the security was strict and a bit rough at the door.
Anyway, French artist Alan Corbel opened the show , alone with his acoustic guitar, quite surprising there were lots of spaces at the back and on the sides of the pit , The promoter respected the capacity of the club and didn't crammed it in order to make more money.
Tickets were only 8 Euros ( with a drink ).

Time for a beer

Peter came on stage aroung 10:15 PM starting with " Can't stand me now" (Scroll down for the video).
He seemed a bit waysted as usual but didn't fucked it up at all. Songs were played (almost)one after another for the whole gig.
He didn't stop that much , only to sign a few autographs or smoking a cigarette, in fact several (Hey Man what about the no smoking policy ? )

He took time to take requests, reading a few lines from a book that a girl threw on stage as a present, giving away candies or wine and he gave numerous picks to the girls of the first row.
Lots of singing along from the audience in a cool and relax atmosphere, even though it seemed that it was pushing a bit down the front. Patrice , our photographer, this lucky bastard has found the perfect spot once again as he was seating on the side of the stage. ( see Pics )
No Encore Peter left the stage never to come back, he went afterwards for a drink at the hotel in front of the venue.

Great 90 min set from Pete
