What a surprise when I saw the queue ! Hundreds of people waiting at 9.05 AM ! Did they sleep here ? Some tickets were already sold -I crossed three smiling US students proudly showing their tickets-. They probably open the door’s store earlier. So I wait an hour and an half -it was not so boring, talking with other fans of your passed concerts, like veterans of Rock an Roll wars-. For the first times too -an old idea- I bought tickets for the two shows. I will be curious to know how many fans would do the same ? So, come back to the present.

The concert is over, the crowd goes out slowly and your big limousine probably brings you back to a restaurant or to your hotel. Magic is going on : Snow is falling on Paris (we are not in NY, it’s real rare over there!) and I just can believe that I got a video tape -Thanks to my small Sony video tape recorder- of the entiere concert! I respect you to much to put this recording on the web so I use it on a strickly personnal way. But In still got an old dream, you used demo tapes -with a not so good sound- to realise your "Nebraska" why could you use MY recording for an equivalent in video. I read on a Dave Marsh interview how much you regret not to have pictures from your acoustic Tom Joad Tour...


SOLO ACOUSTIC TOUR 96 PARIS ZENITH FEBRUARY 26th The concert is just done. And one more time, I am on my knees. Alone on stage with your black Takamine. What a challenge ! I remember how I was afraid when a few weeks ago I learned that you was on tour but for the first time of your life alone and acoustic ! The tickets would be sold -four days later !- only in Paris and only at Louvres’s Virgin Megastore. Saturday morning I wake up, take a cup of coffee, jump in my car, ride straight ahead to Paris on highway 4 -only 30 kilometers-. I parked my car at Palais Royal and run to the Louvres, I was a few minutes late. I remembered that it was a real lightly day, with blue sky and an early winter sun. It was so early 9 o’clock is early for a big town ! that I was persuade to be almost the first to buy tickets, like a few year before when I did the same kind of thing for your “tunnel of love” tour. Almost no cars in the Rivoli street. Sure I had this time a place close to the stage.
