So what do you know, I’m here in France, only 2h away from Paris and I wasn’t able to go see Paul Gilbert play in Paris tonight for his last date on his European tour. To be fair I kinda gave up on it when I added up all the costs of going, but even if I could have afford it, we’ve just had the worst snowfall for many years down in the old country so it was safer to stay in anyway.
But I’m told from La Chaine Guitare that the show went ahead, and was great so it’s good to hear everyone who could make it definitely had a good time. I’m just gonna hold out for the next chance to see him, perhaps when Mr Big tours Europe.
Meanwhile, here’s an audio interview made last year by La Chaine Guitare with Paul before Mr Big show in Paris (follow the link for a transcript of the interview by Jenn).
I will be back later with more guitar posts, I’ve been a little busy lately and now I don’t even know if I can access my old crummy guitar for a little bit of unplugged practice while I’m over here…
Bummer, J-L!
I missed all the shows too, for the same reasons. Too expensive and too far away.
The Internet doesn't best 'the live concert experience' but it's good enough for now.
There's always 2011 to look forward to.
It's cool that you're safe and not out in the snowy madness.
Happy Holidays to you and yours 🙂
I saw him live 2 years ago so I can't really complain. Thanks again for the season wishes, all the same to you 😀
