Even where he had completed his tour Never alone in 2012. “I’m excited. I had finished my last tour here and I started the new “recalled the singer 72 years old.
Combining tubes Oh Carol , Tennessee , Oh, my lovely Sarah , I forgot to live , Johnny and its music director Yarol Poupaud (former FFF, also on guitar) also exhumed old titles such as Nadine , an adaptation signed Chris Long, tube Chuck Berry or I need a friend (1973). Among the must ( What I love you , All the music that I love , I forgot to live ), famous adaptations ( Human Son , Penitentiary , Until Midnight ), the set alternates rock, rhythm and blues and ride.
