Hello
Last Wednesday, I had the honor to see Flying Colors in Paris. They played in an old theater (Le Trianon).
The show was absolutely fabulous. Perhaps the best concert I have ever seen.
The sound was absolutely perfect : the perfect volume, the perfect mix ... hats off to the sound engineer. A very nice vibe on stage but also in the public (I met some nice people).
The musicians were amazing. Steve Morse was of course wearing a sleeveless shirt ... where it was written "Aviation Addict"
Steve played all the show with his number One (there was also a Y2D on stage, but he did not use it. I think it was just in case if he broke a string). Of course, his amps were 2 ENGL Steve Morse amps (and two 4x12 cab).
Dave LaRue is amazing. When he plays, bass seems so easy to play.
Casey McPherson is a great singer. He played on a Gibson and also acoustic guitar (he was also using an ENGL Steve Morse head : a gift from Steve ???).
Mike Portnoy was in great shape : very funny and an amazing player (he didn't "overplay" but really played for the songs).
Neal Morse was for me "the new guy" : I didn't know very well his career. He's a great keyboardist but also a great singer.
They played all the Flying Colors album and some other songs from each player. They played Odyssey ... I am a total Dixie Dregs addict thus I have to change my underwear ...
Now some pictures :
Aviation Addict !
Dave in the official Steve Harris position ...
But one guy absolutely stole the show (and he is not on the photo above).
This guy is :
our own Tommy (tommyindelaware) :
I had the privilege to speak with Tommy after the show (it was very kind because as you can imagine he was working : he was doing the guitar tech for Steve, Dave and Casey). It's always nice to chat with the guys you met on this forum !
Great show ... perfect night
