Nashville 83

Quelle intro !!! Et quel solo !!!
Merci Lolo, ça devait 10 ou 15 ans que je ne l'avais plus vue...
Au fait, c'est début 84 ( )

Wouaoh, quel retour en arrière!! J'étais devant la téloche, le 10 mars 1984, à mater les Enfants du Rock" du père De Caunes!! Quelle classe!! (je parle des Cats, of course...). P... ça fait du bien, merci Lolo

This is from a french TV show broadcast in 1984 called "Les Enfants du Rock - Special Johnny à Nashville" and our french rocker played some songs with artists such Carl Perkins, Tony Joe White, Emmilou Harris or the Cats (That's all right mama & Johnny B. Good). Great memories!!

Unhappily... Yes ! (Even if "Rockin'" seems to be a big word...)

ui...

so bad?

Yes, really...
Here, in France, almost everybody say is "our national rocker" or some others compare him as the "french Elvis" ( ).
He's just a singer, a "regular guy" as Brian said one day, and a man with 45 years career behind him, thing I respect of course even I have never bought one of his records.
Just watching that video can help you to make an opinion : in 1984, he was 41 and... Brian (almost 25 !) sings so much better than him...

yes, when i was a kid in 70ies, i remember some TV-Shows with him.
But very small memories...

maybe it is not our personal taste, but much better than all these "plastic-castingshow-hip and hop-artists" you could see every day in TV.

Rock`n Roll...

Yeah, you're right! Regarding Johnny Hallyday, he did a lot for rock n' roll music in France in the early '60, nobody would contest this fact. And his gigs are very famous: think that he performed 3 times in the "Stade de France" in Paris, in front of almost 80 000 fans each time, just where the Stones couldn't do the same!
Since a decade or 2, he forgot rock n' roll music and I think he should stop his long career; but he still sales a lot of CDs, so....

he did an anniversary show not long ago, didn`t he?
I`m working sometimes a little bit for a french company (showlight & sound)
and i remember a show in Paris with Johnny Hallyday. But i wasn`t there...

Anyway, this is a Brian Setzer Forum and the Video with the Stray Cats is cool.

Greetings to France

Pic from this show :

First, he "rocked" (a very long time ago)
Second, it might be not true...
Third, it really doesn't matter
