Danko played @ Furia Sound Festival on june 23rd in Cergy Pontoise(west suburbs of Paris)and of course I was there.
Again a great show,a bit tooshort though(about 50mn). To my surprise Danko played with his eye patche.it seems that the recovery is quite long for these retina problems. So no more headbanging for mr Jones,no face slapping on Mountain either..Here's a pic took during the soundcheck:
The band played great,they didn't speed up the songs like at Rock am Ring and Danko's comments were so fun as usual.He pretends that his eye problem was due to too much masturbation!Then he said:"do you think it makes me stop doing this?!...Nooo!!..." Here's the setlist.It was cool to hear Suicide Woman,one of my BAL favourite.
Ihad the chance to say hi to JC after the show,he reminded me from le Trabendo gig. He gaves me confirmation for the next club tour in the fall,but he didn't know which venue they will play yet.

Man, danko is so fuckin hardcore. What rockstar do you know, plays not too long after surgery? Shit, most of them get a hangnail and cancel whole tours. I wonder how much more they can impress me in my lifetime. It's always exciting to find out.
I took the liberty of modifying that second one. The first one is still a little big, but now at least it's tolerable. Hope you don't mind manurocks. Thanks for posting those!
Thank you all and thanks Nat' and Tidy for the pics.
Yes,it's hard to imagine Danko's performance without headbanging and faceslapping but I think he is the most frustrated of us about that. Be sure the show was not less intense though.
