I don't mind ?? It's a pleasure and an honor dear Jon. Yes, they did Cry Baby last nite and Brian said, just before start to play, "this is my favorite" !! This said, no Blast Off, no Red Hot
The gig was... No word to tell you !! In particular, I realize the complicity between Brian & Johnny. Really strong links. Listening to Instru-MENTAL this morning, I realize the work made by J. Hatton (and N. Levy of course). This Rockabilly squad is a kind of "dream team". Next album will be dynamite !!

Thank you for the report, Setzerado! Glad you got to go.
The Riot Squad playing Cry Baby instead of Blast Off is good news. The fact that Red Hot was dropped from the setlist is very bad news.

You're welcome Rocky. Yes, a little sad for Blast Off & Red Hot but we had such a good time under the stars with Le Setz' and his Riot Squad. In Juke Box Magazine this month, Brian says clearly that his new record project is with The Riot Squad !!

I forgot this little word for Rickabilly : the "Put Your Cat Clothes On" played last nite is the wildest I've ever heard.
Thanks Jon, i know. Not so good for the promoter but i like it. I`m closer to the stage.

Oh yes ! Some fantastic t-shirts with some recents and new pix of Brian (and one with Jim too !!) Some CD are also on sale : Rockabilly Riot & Instru-MENTAL. But the T-shirts are really cool (30 € last sunday on Istres and last nite in Sète)
