The Rolling Stones are still n�1 in France .
In July , they should perform in Paris : the Stade de France (80 000 people ), in the Arena Paris-Bercy (18 000), in a theatre : the Olympia ( like in 1995 ).
It is also rumoured that they should perform in Marseille stadium (50 000), south of France .
All these dates should be confirmed ( or not ) on 29th ou 30th of October ... |

Ave Marcus!
BTW, Dominique Laboub�e, the singer of "Les Dogs", was found dead, 45 years old
http://docs.connection.free.fr/FrenchVersion/jeuCadres.html
Among their own material, Les Dogs covered, The Kinks, Animals, Yardbirds, Velvet... I often heard they were influenced by the Stones, they never covered. Am I wrong?
Rest in peace, Do |

Hi Lacride !The DOGS used to be famous in the late 70 es and 80 es .Yes , they were influenced by the Stones . Sad news .
When I say the Stones are still n�1 in France , I was talking about 40 LICKS , of course .They have been n� 1 for 3 weeks !!! Isn't that excellent ?? |

Hi EGON !
Well , I don't know where you exactly live ...
The info about the concert in Marseille can be checked at
IORR site .It is only a rumour .
The concert scheduled in Marseille in 1998 had been canceled
for poor tickets selling ( It was just after the World Soccer Cup ). |
|

..not for poor sales but because of Keith's accident in his
biblioth�que..
.Marseille Stade V�lodrome has now 60 000 places..it was full
in 1990 (50 000 placesin these years..) |

Jean-pierre ,
are you sure the Stones cancelled the 1998 Marseille concert because he had fallen from his ladder ( in his library ) ? I had been told the poor selling tickets .
Someone , in another site, recently said that only
about 20 000 tickets had been sold at that time ...
Where is the truth ?? |

Hi Marcus
you're right Marcus |

Can anyone tell me where to obtain the Dogs 1986/87 album "More more more", I don't care if on vinyl or on CD. I'm looking for this one since a long time, had it then but lost it later. |

They cancelled Marseille because of poor ticket sales. They also skipped a second Paris show at Stade de France for the same reason. They sold out one show but they didn't want to take the risk of playing a second show with only 15,000 or 20,000 in this huge stadium. So maybe France is not the best place for the boys to play more than one or two shows. They should add more shows in Holland and Germany....and they will. Just wait for next week! |

Well ,in a way I think you are right Woody , But the selling of 40 LICKS are really excellent here .I went to 2 big record shops yesterday ,and the Stones are still n�1 !
I don't think they can fill 2 Stades De France ( 80 000 people each night ), but they can fill 1 Stade De France and 1 Bercy ( Paris Arena :18 000 ).
On the other hand, I very much doubt they will play in Marseille ...But who knows ?? I would be so proud of them !!
It is confirmed : they will play in CROATIA , in Zagreb Stadium in early August .

marcus,
i live in marseille (excellent place!!!)
as for the cancelled concert;
the "official" reason was because keith was injured,
but it seems that ticked sales were very poor...
and although keith was injured, they played at Barcelona only a few days before they were supposed to play marseille.
anyway; i sure hope they'll come to marseille next year.
been to the stadium once to watch OM. they didn't do too well, but the stadium is really nice!
Bonne weekend a tout le monde

| marcus aurelianus |
Well , there have always been competitions between the North and the South ( in sports , but not only.. ). Marseille used to be better at football . But I expected them to lose this time . What happened indeed .And then riots (as usual !)... |
