The best concert I've ever seen?
I saw a concert last Monday at the Fleche d'Or in Paris.
I saw a concert last Monday that may well have been the best concert I have ever seen. Certainly there have been bands - any one of the artists I used to obsess over as a teenager, in fact - where I was more excited just to be there seeing them live. But in terms of the sheer visceral, kick-in-the-guts power of the music and the raw emotion that was bouncing off the stage, I have never seen anything like it. As I wrote on the singer's MySpace page afterwards, I have never been so moved by music.
Who was this singer that moved me so? Her name is Nadj.
Listen to some of Nadj's music on MySpace (including a cover of Motorhead's Ace of Spades) and watch the live video of La Pilule to see what I mean.
