Good point Rob !

Can I call you Rob ?

BTW Which one of the old timers said the other day that a lot of fans were very much disappointed after the Wake gig ?

The whole of the pit is belong to us

The ZÃ©nith is by far the biggest venue they play this year. It may not be Wembley, but it's enough to remind us of their VT era glory.
I will not complain about the set list.
I will not complain about the smoke.
I will not complain about the absence of a human bass player.
And I think all the Heartlanders should occupy the front row just like the bunch of good devoted fans we are.

BTW If they really want to fill the place with smoke they'll have to turn it on big time !

I never complain about setlist, smoke, bass players etc.
I always have a great time and enjoy every second of a gig as if it would be the last one....because with the Sissies you never know when and if they will tour again.

Counting down....

Badlander · 11 Apr 2006, 08:31

Just checked the ZÃ©nith website. Maximum capacity is 6,293 !

Just imagine for a second the kind of delicious chaotic moment this gig is going to be if it solds out...

And even if it doesn't, in fact.

I don't have it in vector format, but the shop where they did to me convert it from pjpg to vector, so I guess I can have it as I know very well the owner of the shop.

doctoravalanche · 11 Apr 2006, 09:11

Yeah heartlanders in the front rows !!!
Who will be at the venue very early in the afternoon ?
By the way I went in front of Les Furieux yesterday and they have a small poster announcing an after show for the gig

I guess the Belgians, MB, Jos, my mate and myself will arrive in Paris between 2 and 3 pm.

So Les Furieux is gonna be the place. It has probably been mentioned before but how far from the venue is it?

*getting giddy*

Okay, this all seems good so far, just another question about the venue. What kind of floors can I expect?

Direct metro Line 5 from Porte de Pantin to Bastille (12 stations), then 5 minutes by walk from Bastille. So it is arond 30 minutes.
Adress is: 74 rue de la Roquette - Paris 11.

Good solid concrete IIRC (just hope memory doesn't fail me

), and a large pit BTW. One good thing about this venue is that it was especially designed for pop music events.

Concrete, carpet, hardwood... At least that's how I understood it.

Planet Dave · 11 Apr 2006, 12:03

Okay all you barstewards going to this one...have a grand time, don't start too many riots, and I insist you ALL take up the first few rows.

Dr Avalanche - ace tee. You realise there'll be people trying to rip it off your back all night. And that's just the mob from HL.

Enjoy.

Careful Doc, this may or may not be a joke.

Yes, that's what I meant! Thanks for the info.

Although I've never been to a gig where the floor has been carpet!

@ Planet Dave - Thanks Ravey! Let's just hope the locals behave!
