Stereophonics, a Paris zenith filled for their return to France

On April 29, the Stereophonics made a very clean copy, faithful to their image, by offering their fans a very qualitative setlist, based on a Rock’n’Rollesque rise in power!

Five years after their last Parisian concert at l’Olympiaat the end of January 2020, the Welsh Stereophonics made their comeback in the French capital, as part of their tour No Hit Left Behind. Less intimate but colorful atmosphere, often with orange warm tones, fiery reds, and sometimes icy blue but that the sounds of guitars of guitars Kelly Jones et Adam who hate Warm without difficulty.

From the first notes of Vegas Two Timesthe tone is set: the group is there to offer a show without frills, but with an energy and an authenticity which have always been their trademark. They chain with I wanna get ost with you Then Do you feel my love.

However, the whole remains sober even if their music is still more incisive live than in the studio. Kelly Jones Proves us that time has no grip on him, whether on the physical level that vocal .. (what a voice ..!), Bearing the concert and almost the group has alone, despite the notable reinforcement of Jamie Morrison on drums and its exhilarating game, especially on Mr and Mrs Smith.

Kelly Jones reminds us of the whole path since their beginnings in 1992, in trio, with Richard Jones and the late Stuart Cablewho led them to France to The cicadaau Bataclanhas l’Olympiaau Stade de France (in the first part of Stones ). A dazzling career, deserved, haloed by 13 albums. Just that. The group has plenty of time to please us thanks to their repertoire!

Thus, between a few pieces full of passion, Kelly Jones takes the time to give us acoustic favors on You’re my star or on I Wouldn’t Believe Your RadioUkulele by hand, gift David Bowieas he will like to tell us that evening.

It is on these songs that the public will benefit from the best of the grooved voice of Kelly Jonesas well as on Graffiti on the train maybe, Maybe tomorrowessential titles of their ultra-wrinkle repertoire.

Despite the punch deployed on Superman et Geronimoit will be necessary to wait for the three-quarters of the concert, and this magnificent title in the Ukulele, that the atmosphere really rises to the stands. The public was far from stingy with applause, quite the contrary, but it is on a piece of their latest album, Seems Like You Don’t Know MeThen FLy like an eagle that the stands finally got up.

The set is generous, 21 titles. Kelly Jones Also, authentic. Without adventures, without too much audacity, Sterephonics Filled the hearts of fans, with a rigorous performance and all the titles that the room wanted to hear when entering the Zenith. The final, with Dakotaseals all the pleasure of a room, all acquired by their cause.

Just thanks !
