I'll be there !! I'll try to keep you guys posted with my Iphone.

Told my wife that for this time only, I would have no mercy whatsoever regarding timings, that no delay would be tolerated, that the trip would be organized in a military style, and that she'd better leave work at 5.00pm SHARP, so that we get a chance to be at Bercy at 6.00pm for ticket collection Better wait than be late... and if I could, by chance, catch up with Guy or somebody with the band, that would be great !

The venue is huge (17,000 seats), and is (in)famous for traffic jams and parking problems (700 lots... and the concert is sold out... oops...).  I have pre-reserved 2 lots, just in case !

Who else is coming ? Can we catch up ? I will try to be at gate 35 around 6.00pm.

[Pottel]

wow herlock, that sounds exciting.
pls keep us updated indeed (not the parking lot thing, the show!!)

[ds1984]

I will be there

Please note that 17 000 is the no seat capacity. Tonight configuration is toward 12 000, approx 1.5 Paris Zenith or 6 Paris Olympia.

Same for me ! And they played TOL  

I wish I could be there tonight. I didn't get lucky with that one. The train would arrive 10 minutes too late.  
But I will do "all" the other french dates

A lot of people will enjoy tonight.  
MK is so rare in France.

what date? I think it was there on 25th April 1992. (I know it's 1992, I am 99% it's April but the day could be wrong).

According to http://www.neck-and-neck.com/library/diary/diary07.html

DS did a 7 nights residency back at the POPB from 24th to 30th April 92 - they already had a first run on 3-4-5  october 1991

Sorry, it can't be the same. Mine was the first OES show in Paris, 3 October 1991.
It's good to remember that Paris and France used to be an important part of the tour ... These days are gone.
Now it's really one quick stop and if can't do it on that day, you don't have a second chance ...

[ds1984]

I assume that due to past experience of high level of temperature  Mark is more entitled to play one big Bercy than two days at the average sounding Zenith.

But we also have some very sweet nice and good sounding venue in Paris, a week residency at the Olympia for example would be great.

Will be there with my tallest daughter (6 years old) and my father : 3 generations !
So bad that Yolande can't come, she has to stay at home.
Big big love and big kisses to her. I still hope we will do at least one show this year together, maybe N
