๐ฃ While queueing, I met Alison, a German fan from Cologne and Myriam, a French fan from the center of France. They both are nice people and had some good laugh ๐. All I saw in her was respect and love for the band and excitement to attend a ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐๐๐จ show.
๐ฃ At 6.30pm the doors opened and we stood on Brian's side. A great view of the stage. That strange feeling that had been with me since the day before was still there even then. It was a '๐๐๐๐โ ๐๐' situation. Myriam and I were coast to coast, waiting, laughing, observing ๐
๐ธ ๐ซ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ came on stage at about 8pm. Of all the shows I've been to, this band was one of the best opening acts ! What a stage presence ! Energetic punk led by a singer who can't stay still, living his songs, followed by equally dynamic musicians. Wow. I loved it ! Of the eight songs they performed, the only ones I remember are ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐, ๐ท๐๐ ๐ช๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ช๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐ซ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ฐ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐ด๐๐ ๐๐'๐ ๐ซ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ and ๐ญ๐๐ ๐ญ๐๐ ๐พ๐๐๐ where they asked the audience to shout '๐๐ช๐ต ๐๐ฐ๐ณ ๐๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฌ' when it was time to sing. Pretty cool ๐
๐ฃ The messages asking the audience to leave the phones and live in the moment were displayed... the security guys were on their toes. They were organizing themselves in front of my eyes and I found it rather funny to watch. I had decided not to take any pictures, respecting the band's wishes, although I'm not the type to spend a concert with my phone in my hand.

๐ฃ The band was masterful, it was beyond my expectations. The new live songs are just great. ๐ต๐๐๐๐ ๐ณ๐๐ ๐ด๐ ๐ฎ๐ is meant to be heard live because the songs take on a whole new dimension, a total immersive dimension.
๐ถ ๐ฏ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ฐ๐ ๐ป๐๐ ๐บ๐๐ is the one that touched me the most. The melody penetrated me. What a sweet feeling it is to be touched in the depths of your being... I experienced this song with tears in my eyes.๐
๐ถ ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐๐ is as magical as ever. It's one of the songs I've been waiting for to come back in the setlist. ๐ค๐ป
๐ถ ๐บ๐๐๐๐.. it's a song I've loved since I was a kid. The cover by ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐๐๐จ was a great surprise for me. The live version is just beautiful. The studio version is just a glimpse of what it sounds like live. It's really a thing ! ๐
๐ถ ๐ช๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ and ๐๐๐ ๐พ๐๐๐๐ ๐น๐๐๐๐๐ are so beautiful and powerful that I think I lost my footing at some point. It was such a beautifully strange feeling. ✨
๐ถ For the songs from the previous albums, it was like seeing old friends again... ๐โ ๐ ๐ค๐๐๐ก ๐๐๐ ๐ก๐๐๐๐๐. ๐
๐ฃ I think it was at this point that ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ gave a pick to a staff member to pass it to a child in the audience on ๐บ๐๐๐๐๐'s side. ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ gave him a the most beautiful and sweetest smile ever.๐ You could read the joy on ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐’s face.
๐ฃ ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ and ๐บ๐๐๐๐๐ had a lot of smiles and friendly interactions and it was heartwarming to witness this. ๐บ๐๐๐๐๐ repeatedly stood on the small stage in front of the audience and interacted with the people. Of course, ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ didn't exchange a word with the audience but, as far as I'm concerned, I don't need that at all to enjoy their show.

☆ What I did notice though, despite ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐'s silence, was that he was far from being disconnected from the audience. On several occasions, while playing his guitar and observing the crowd, I saw him smile succinctly. He wasn't smiling directly at people, no. He had this little satisfied smile on his face as he directed his gaze to the floor or to his instrument. No words were necessary. He too was delighted. ๐
☆ ๐จ๐๐๐๐๐ who was right in front of me smiled at the audience as well. I waved her to notified her the concert was great and she waved me back ๐
๐ฃ I know that many people didn't like the fact that security used torches to prevent people from taking pictures. As far as I'm concerned, it didn't affect my experience and I even found it quite funny. On several occasions, one of the guys (who was quite big) stood on the foot of the fence, blocking my view. I literally had my head on his stomach. All I wanted to do was hold him and make him dance. ๐ I didn't dare... You have to take things lightly or turn them into something positive. There's no point in getting so upset over so little. Let's just say it's part of the whole thing. ๐
๐ฃ When ๐น๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ผ๐ ๐ป๐๐๐ ๐ฏ๐๐๐ started, I couldn't believe that it was already the end of the show. It went by in a flash. But as the saying goes: ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ฉ๐ข๐ท๐ฆ ๐ข ๐จ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฅ ๐ต๐ช๐ฎ๐ฆ, ๐ต๐ช๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐ง๐ญ๐ช๐ฆ๐ด.
๐ฃ At the end of the song, ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ and Stefan played with the feedback for a long time, exchanging looks and smiles.

☆ ๐บ๐๐๐๐๐, on the other hand, stepped onto the small stage and gave a warm salute to the audience and left.
☆ Friday, I saw an exceptional performance by ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐๐๐จ. I had come to experience an incredible moment and I got much better than that. It was closer to transcendence. No more unreal feelings, just stars in my eyes and lasting memories.๐

See you next week in Nancy ๐
๐ธ I had the opportunity to meet ๐ซ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ after the show, they are not only good on stage, they are also funny and incredibly nice. I got a signed copy by the whole band of their CD ๐๐๐๐ด๐ ๐ท๐ ๐ด ๐ถ๐๐๐๐๐๐ก๐๐๐, and it's going to join my music collection.
๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ! You've won my heart ๐
