The Pretty Things - Live au GIBUS 19 Mars 2013


And yes Tuesday evening we were at the Gibus 300 for Pretty Things and 50 years Of madness, mayhem & music.....
The evening was very well start with a young band The BLOW UP French, worried before the start of their performance, not their appearance mods, but fear to hear again the inevitable covers of "My generation" and others that are the error groups we play again, I am more than pleasantly surprised by the performance of this band that we played his original compositions in the sixties would certainly rivaled with those WHO !!!

    De toute évidence un concert de grande qualité et une soirée réussie.
    Heureux Parisiens ,mais il semble aussi que Phil May aime la capitale.
