Black crust....


..was a common view in the cities of Europe due to the combustion of fossil fuels. Today, the air quality is so much better that buildings and statues covered with a black crust are a rarity.

DR Koncerthuset....


Copenhagen, 2009, by Jean Nouvel (click to enlarge)

Warning: Do not leave your seat during a show. You may not find your way back ! A bit too much design....and less function. A complicated building indeed.

Boomerang....

Laurent Lafitte and Mélanie Laurent

Life is a boomerang and secrets and lies are a bit like submersed cork.... 
A good film by François Fravat.

Bryan Ferry at DR Koncertsalen....


Copenhagen, Koncerthuset, May 13, 2016

One day this gentleman will be missed....until then, his music is still as good as ever; clever, melodic, intricate, and always with a touch of elegance and distance. Best in show: "Avonmore", "Virginia Plain", "Jealous Guy", "Oh Yeah", "Take a Chance with Me"....and all the rest.

See you soon again Mr. Ferry & Co...!

Bryan Ferry at Gothia Towers....


Göteborg, May 3, 2016

Bryan Ferry - Vocals & Keyboards
Paul Beard - Band leader & Keyboards
Jacob Quistgaard - Guitar
Neil Hubbard - Guitar
Jimmy Sims - Bass
Jorja Chalmers - Saxophones & Keyboards
Luke Bullen - Drums
Lucy Wilkins - Violin
Fonzi Thornton - Backing Vocals
   Bobbie Gordon - Backing Vocal

Best in show: "Stronger Through the Years", "Take a Chance with Me"....and all the rest.
Jorja Chalmers handles the instrument with perfection in Tara, and Fonzi shines through the whole evening (he is truly a showman).
Pity such a boring audience with a total lack of energy.  

See you again in Copenhagen....
