The Cure : Live Rock en Seine

Filmed in October 2015, “Live At The Olympia Paris” captures Melody Gardot in concert at the legendary Belle Époque era venue in the French capital. The show focuses primarily on songs from her most recent album “Currency Of Man” and 2009’s “My One And Only Thrill” with a couple of surprise tracks thrown in for good measure. Melody Gardot’s performance is both intimate and emotional and her band are at the top of their form.

It was in 1991, in Oakland (California) that Machine Head was born. Around Rob Flynn, a groove and thrash metal band was formed that is now one of the heavyweights of the genre. It must be said that the band has benefited from a big boost by opening for Metallica between 2008 and 2011. Machine Head made its debut in 1994 with the furious Burn My Eyes. An album that has become a classic of the genre! At the other end of their discography is Of Kingdom and Crown, their ninth album released in 2022. Machine Head's participation in festivals is rare! Luckily for us and the Clisson public, the Americans decided to make a stop at Hellfest. So we don't deny our pleasure and join the thousands of fans gathered in front of the festival's Mainstage! Filmed on June 28, 2024 at the Hellfest Open Air Festival, Clisson.

Live at Val de Moine,Clisson,France 24.6.2022. The setlist features hits from the ‘70’s, ‘80’s and early ‘90’s, all performed by the current band line-up. The filming is quite good and the BD features PCM stereo and 5.1 mixes as audio choices. Expect all the usual live show theatrics (including the guillotine) and great showmanship not only from Cooper himself, but the rest of the band. You would expect an artist at this stage of his career to be on the decline, but nothing could be farther from the truth. Of course, the “band” is a joy to watch as well, especially Glen Sobel (drums) and Nita Strauss (guitar) – two virtuosos on their respective instruments. They add so many subtle intricacies into the music without overstepping Cooper’s vocals. But when the time is theirs in the spotlight, they shred/jam with authority and conviction – absolute professionalism at the highest level in rock music.

Almost 50 years after their founding, Deep Purple released their 20th studio album “Infinite”. Hard rock legends Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice, Steve Morse and Don Airey went on tour for the last time. On June 16th they performed at Hellfest, the biggest French metal meeting. Mat Bastard hosted this special, final concert.

One of the (eternal) most eagerly awaited returns to Hellfest 2025. Half a century into their metal career, Judas Priest deliver an epic concert, all riffs, pyrotechnics and studded biker leather.

Marc Ribot rarely performs in Europe. His appearance at Jazz sous les Pommiers is therefore a real treat, especially since the guitarist is performing here with his quartet to introduce us to the album *Hurry Red Telephone*.
