REACTIONS AFTER THE CONCERT:
The first e-mail from Jacques in Paris dated 5 December 2007 with the subject: Gino à l'espace pierre cardin
Hello les amis,
What a night !! i m in a state of shock, you could imagine.
The concert was a huge success i ve listened may be 5 new songs.
Gypsy days, don t give up on me, rosebud.. a terrific "black cars" version, of course new arrangements for "brother to brother", "wild horses etc..."
What a drummer lol lol lol
It was a great night only 1 and half hour of concert but all the music was very very good.
For me it s the best concert of Gino i ve listened in the last 17 years.
It was impossible to speak to Gino you could imagine the girls like bees around a honey pot. Taking pictures, signing, crying, pushing etc...
Thanks to the manager i ve got some autographed cd booklets.
The most interesting part of the night was that me and my friend Guillaume had time to speak with Michiel, Boudewjin Lucas and over all we speak a long time with Ross yes yes. What a gentleman he signed my ticket and we had remembered the good all times i ve asked some news about Joe and you could imagine i ve tried to convince it to put on sale more stuff (beginning with a dvd). Michiel says that he co-wrote 3 new songs with Gino and the futur cd will be on sale next summer.
A great pianist...for me it s the best band Gino had to continue a long time with these musicians they are fantastic, really.
It was very difficult for me to come back at home and sleep, i was always hearing the music in my head at 2 o'clock in the morning.
Have a nice day
Jacques
The second e-mail from Jacques in Paris dated 6 December 2007 with the subject: Gino in Paris
Hello les amis,
The track listing of the french show :
- - Gypsy days
- - black cars (amazing new arrangements and nice sunglasses lol lol )
- - don t give up (terrific drumming of Erik)
- - wild horses
- - hurts to be in love
- - rose bud (i like it very much)
- - good thing
- - brother to brother (fantastic Michiel)
- - i just wanna stop ( thanks Ross Vannelli)
- - ENCORE: people gotta move (big applauses and ending at 10:30 pm)
The after show :
Everybody was waiting in front the tables with the cakes and drinks.
Gino surrounded by fans....you could imagine, in the nick of time Jacques (your reporter) was speaking and asking signatures to Michiel and Boudewijn, i miss Erik (what a drummer!!).
Michiel said that he co-wrote 3 tracks with Gino and the new cd will be out next summer.
Be patient les amis..
After getting from Gino some autographed cd booklets (by miracle and thanks to John) i was face to face to Ross. I shake his hands and congratulate him for the nice job he did in the past and tonight.
We ask some news about Joe and of course he signed the back of my ticket.
A gentleman very kind and a very simple man, very easy to speak with him. I ve tried to influence Ross asking a release of a dvd, he don t answer no but we need to be patient. My friend Guillaume ask for the release of the complete Gino's archive, i agree with him and we want to pay for these new stuff of course.
I forget to mention the presence of the beautiful french actress Matilda May she spoke with Gino and seems a big fan of his music.
Finally it was a wonderful night me and my friend Guillaume back to home near midnight.
I was unable to find the sleep untill 2 o'clock in the morning, probably the consequence and joy to meet again after a so long time an old friend.
Have a nice day les amis
