American soft-rock(pop) singer Christopher Cross is playing at the beautiful Trianon theatre to promote his new album "Doctor faith".
He's well known for having a few hits on his first album published in 1979 with "sailing" & "Ride like the wind".Then I can hardly tell you what he did for the last 20 years.
It's the first time that we're seeing him in concert and friends who saw him recently @ Cigale (?) told us they had a good time.
The Trianon is almost full for this all seated event, lots of posh people down the front as the concert is sponsored by a insurance Cie, the guests had a nice food & drink reception before and after the gig.
This Cie probably bought a lot of the best seats for their best elements and clients ,I guess it's an easy way of having more people attending a gig considering that the tickets were quite expensive.You have to find the money where it is.It's a tough world ;-)

With an audience of posh people in their late 40's needless to tell you that it wasn't wild specially considering the music that is played tonight: the soft of the soft pop-rock.
Christopher made an effort to dress up with a nice costume as this show is recorded for a DVD.
He played some of his biggest hits and songs from his latest record.
The music as you can guess is very soft, we only had a couple of electric guitar soli for the whole gig, the rest is typical from the 80's with sax soli on many tracks.
I know It's the kind of music that people tend to hate but , we have our guilty pleasure and it's enjoyable from time to time.
The musicians are perfect, it's a well oiled machine.
Unbelievable but Christopher still have the high crystal clear voice he had 30 years ago.
The night couldn't be perfect without "Ride like the Wind" with a shower of ticker tapes and everybody dancing as if they were 21 again.
Very good show
