Last Friday I went to a concert at the Zenith a bit peculiar. It was a cover band, a cover band called Cover Queen and which, as its name suggests, offers a 
show in tribute to the legendary British band Freddie Mercury.
Such groups have multiplied in recent years and knows some success. The best known are the Rabeats which include the Beatles and fill large rooms.
I had already experienced this type of experience VoiceFest 2010 with a cover band Pink Floyd, Comfortably Numb , and I had not really been excited. So I went with some trepidation. It must be said that if I love the times I have a little trouble with identical times. I do not see what that brings.
Anyway, one of my friends wanted to go and I told myself that this would create a new item for your favorite blog ...
Before going further, here is what it gave, A Kind of Magic :
As you can see, I have not yet able to adjust the microphone (too sensitive) from my new camera and sound saturates. It's a shame because it does not realize
quality musical and vocal group. But I will.
Two groups have succeeded in the first part of Cover Queen. I do not tell you much because their performance did not really marked. The only thing of interest was the look of the bassist's first group. I loved this style biker back on the artificial (pictured above).
Finally, the headliners came on stage.
The first
impression was not very good. Indeed, the singer and band leader, Frederick Caramia is a little wrapped and held close to the body do not put really worth.
His costumes, apparently intended to resemble those of Freddie Mercury, are rather "cheap" and does not contribute seriously to the performance. Not to mention the "Freddie Mercury attitude" passed by the singer, her arm raised and a half mic stand ...
But this is only the first visual impression, and is quickly replaced by a second, this time hearing:
Very
quickly, one is amazed by the capabilities of the singer, who shows a remarkable vocal range, and the quality of music. The "Brian May" group, Adrien Husson, mastered the six-string and his solos are amazing.
One begins the game, you start to waddle, to clap the rhythm of the music, take the chorus with the singer, it's fun and a little disconcerting.
Frederick Caramia was trained lyric, which partly explains his vocal abilities. In 2005 he decided, with his brother Alexander,
drummer, to create one group to pay tribute to his idol, who died in 1991 (and yes, 20 years).
Other group members will soon join them to form Cover Queen and ride the roads of France by chaining concerts.
Finally, during the entire concert, only the "Opera" of Bohemian Rhapsody was recorded , Freddie Caramia even playing the piano intro:
After one three quarter pipes, musicians left the stage to return a few minutes and finish with a few favorites such as We Are The Champions , as follows: Final
There were between 2000 and 3000 people in Zenith (in reduced configuration) and I am quite certain that the vast majority has passed, like me, good evening. In fact, I wonder if I would have preferred that this is a bad cover band. If this were the case, I would not be out of the show with a little feeling of unease, a sort of guilty conscience ...
I think I will not renew the experience too often, there are enough good bands that play their own compositions!
Come on, sing like Freddie The Show Must Go On !
