Anonymous said...: » The concert in Strasbourg yesterday was superb! It took place in an art gallery -a former glassware shop transformed into art center- a nice place in Art Nouveau style with pillars of steel and old wooden floor: it connected well with the acoustic theme.An audience of 80 (?) cool and careful(people sat on the floor).
I'm quiet sure te setlist was the same as in Caen. The Trees were very good,i've seen them several times in the past years and i can't tire myself out to see them live : delicacy, musicality,theatrical drama,tension ,beauty... And now they bring something new with the acoustic sound, the different and surprising versions, the backing vocals and they're doing it so well!
Mary of the woods, suffering of the stream are real diamonds. Wallpaper dying in acoustic is awesome!; 01 November, 2009 12:42

Man of double deed said...: » Unforgettable show in Paris, 30th October 2009, with a lot of songs not included in the official release of "When the Rain Come" such as "Belief In the Rose" (beautiful song from "Farewell to the Shade" that I heard live for the first time in the shows I've seen), "The Cyclone" (good version with Justin and Ian on backing vocals) and "The Secret Sea" (presented as the only pop song released in the whole story of the band). I flied in France from Italy for this show... four days in a wonderful Paris (included the Halloween night), quite nice weather, and a very good show of AATT. What could I ask more?; 02 November, 2009 10:43

Luc P. said...: » Colmar - Museum of Toys. back to childhood with this venue... and I totally agree with Simon-Huw: it was a very good gig.... A magical moment.... Powerful and inspired as always... but with something else "more" than previous acoustic gigs I've seen Thanks to Justin-Jo, Simon-Huw, eEza and Emer!!!; 03 November, 2009 00:54
Anonymous said...: » I agree with Luc : amazing evening with the trees last sunday in Colmar.Wonderful and surprising concert place ,warm & enthousiastic audience and of course a great band! And Also The Trees did radiate something strong and beautiful. We got the chance to hear "the way the land lies" wich i believe was very rarely played before. Thanks very much A.A.T.T for this moment to remember.; 03 November, 2009 12:40
*frank said...: » The museum in Colmar was such a "playground" the band nearly forget about doing the soundcheck ... well they did not, but Ian definitely felt at home with all that plane and car model types he recocknized from memory ,-)

Another memorable moment from the performance to add was Simon entering the stairs up to the gallery performing The Street Organ.
Great Concert in Colmar indeed with beautiful new arrangements of "Sectret Sea", "Wallpaper dying" which Justin and Simon did sing as duet!! And with "The way the land lies" as a really welcome surprise as well.; 03 November, 2009 18:45
Anonymous said...: » "All the market litter flies..." (Simple Tom and the Ghsot of Jenny Bailey, 1988) : Marseille is stinking ! And thanks we're not in summer. The garbage collectors are on strike since last tuesday. Anyway, as Simon said in french, "c'est bien d'être ici à Marseille, finalement". The venue, le Poste à Galène, is purely an underground rock club, with black and red decoration, no seats, no art centre, no toy museum....back to the basis ! And my first impression is : it's sounds like it would be done with electricity. But better !
Seeing the Trees so close, so open to their public is a great source of pleasure. The music preveals from any king of effect...Of course, the mood is not suitable for some AATT's classics like "Slow Pulse Boy" or "Brother Fear" which would need (but I'm sure it would sound great just with guitar, bouble-bass and voice) electricity, but...what an awesome set ! Precise, intense, generous...They all seem to take pleasure on stage, Justin trying to prevent smiling sometimes , as the audience who is cheering, applausing, shouting for a third "encore" that will not come. "Mary of the Woods" is dedicaced to Justin's wife (or girlfriend ?) who is selling trademark products and who is managing AATT's Twitter site. The ambient is very good, before and after the show, with Simon, Justin, Ian and Emer walking in the club, meeting the crowd, paying attention to everyone and always smiling....always smiling !!! This was maybe one of the souternest concert they ever did, but it was a great one !

P.S. : Nothing special for the set list, the first part is always the same since Caen, then for the first"encore" they played "Vincent Crane", "Feeling Fine", "Mary Of The Woods" and "Wallpaper Dying", ending with the classical "Virus Meadow".; 04 November, 2009 15:08

Anonymous said...: » Apparently, if we follow Richard's impression, Toulouse was a little bit decieving. Maybe they suffered from the weight of the "decorum" and the unbelievable presence of seats. Seats on a AATT gig ! How can you dance on seats ? How can you shout, clap hands ? The more I go to the Trees gigs, the more I think that they got two kind of public, the purist who see a Trees concert as a religious ceremony and those who are listenig to the Trees for music and who are not trapped in closed attitudes. For me, in Marseille, the Trees were very "festive", and that's how I like them.; 10 November, 2009 19:50
Lepel said...: » After a fantastic evening at Cafe de la Danse in Paris, i have had a great opportunity to see once again AATT in Nantes. As a good fortune, i met and spoke again with Kirsten and Simon who made a walk in the uncrowded streets before the concert. Indeed The Olympic is a small and intimate place close to the Loire river. There was around 100 Briton there. The band seemed to be hardly confortable with this atmosphere. I will not forget this special concert like all the other ones i have already seen.

The setlist was similar to the one in Toulouse:

01 Shantell
02 Candace
03 Suffering of the Stream
04 Accordion Girl
05 Double Deed
06 Fightin in a Lighthouse
07 Dialogue
08 St Organ
09 Jacob Fleet
10 Cyclone
11 Belief in a Rose
12 Mermen of the Lea
13 Lucy
14 Untangled Man

15 Vincent Craine
16 Mary of the Woods
17 Dust Sailor
18 Virus Meadow

Many thanks again to AATT; 11 November, 2009 01:01
