Spiritualized, Paris (October 17, 2001)
I went to Paris with my sister, Catherine, to see Spiritualized live in concert and had a near as dammit perfect day. Catherine isn't so comfortable with small spaces and heights but she made it to the top of the Sacre Coer, which, I feel is the best 30F I ever spent. How Catherine felt is another matter. Spiritualized are fantastic live in concert. Full on.
