Thanx totom for the recording ! You can visit his website at http://membres.lycos.fr/totombootlist
Txt file by jpflori. You can visit my website at http://mapage.noos.fr/jpflori and you can hear me screaming "Vive les crevettes !" on "La chanson des crevettes" at 2:15.
The concert took place in a barge on the Seine. The venue can't hold more than 300 people.
Frank was really nice, he took two photos of him and the crowd before the show and plugged/unplugged himself his guitar which looked very used and scratched.
The sound wasn't very good in the venue but it sounds nicer on the recording.
"La chanson des crevettes" is a French spoken version of "The Shrimp Song" that he sang in English just after. Really funny !
He introduced "New House Of The Pope" by saying "C'est une chanson de Chateauneuf-du-Pape", a French wine !


Flaws :

Noise at the beginning of "La chanson des crevettes".
Some noise on "Wave of Mutilation".
