The first time took place in London in 2004 during the Liars Tour with my friend Jean-Luc. The show was awesome, but we were so moved that we had a little trouble enjoying it completely.
The second time, it was in Paris at the "Bataclan", with Joe Jackson and Ethel. We attended 2 shows taking place on 2 consecutive evenings and we especially had the inmeasurable pleasure to meet Todd in his dressing room (thanks to Etsuko) and I must admit that I have never completely recovered from having experienced such an emotion.
The third time took place this year during the Arena Tour. It's my favourite show to this day. The Rock music of this album is especially fit to a show. What an energy! Such a perfection! What a pleasure above all! And I had once more the great privilege to meet, before and after the show, Todd, Kasim, Rachel and all the members of the Band. And I even attented to the rehearsals before the show. Once more, an unforgettable evening. Thanks Todd.
I'm really looking forward the fourth time.
