COMMENTS

The Palais Omnisports is one of Paris's better venues, and perfect for Roger's Wall show. With real grass covering the angled sides of the building, it is one of the more unusual places to perform. Tickets for the three nights originally announced for this venue understandable sold incredibly quickly and so Roger and company will be returning to France's capital for a further show to make it a total of four concerts here.

General sale tickets went on sale February 2nd, through www.FNACSpectacles.com and other normal agents. The public sale will also see a limited number of VIP packages made available for each show on the tour.

CONCERT REVIEW and PICTURES by BD CONTRIBUTOR, Jérôme Ravon

What a sound blast Friday for the last gig in Paris! We were 20 metres back from the stage so we were blown away by the sound.

Roger seemed to be happier than the day before, thanking the crowd with a real sincerity after Outside The Wall. The audience had a really nice involvment with the show, and a great pleasure.

So Roger's now gone to Milano and Athens.
Thank you for making a dream come true.

This night will be unforgettable.
