I went to Bordeaux in July to see Mylène Farmer in concert. I spent a day walking around Bordeaux and painting. This year I went up to the tallest vertical-lift bridge in Europe. In 2013, it was just recently finished, and I wanted to go up to it, but got distracted by a huge tree and ended up in the Public Garden which is still my favourite spot in town.
Next day, I spent it in front of the concert hall where Mylène performed as per tradition. And I almost thought I wouldn't paint contrary to tradition because it rained while waiting.
When we got in, we still had a lot of waiting to do, so I did paint a little and someone said "You must be very motivated to do this" , but I was just bored.
The experience didn't end up being what I needed although the show was probably the best I've seen from her. My favourite moment was when they played the video of "Regrets" before the show started.
The theme of the concert was Nevermore, what Poe's crow said. On the cover of her first album was a crow, so it fits to have it on her last tour.
I still feel like she should have sang "Allan", so maybe it's not the last tour. Not that it makes any difference for me, because I will not do this again. I have actually decided to not travel for concerts anymore. So, I must find another reason to.
