That's very, very mean of you, John. Such a drag for a complete monster band like Yes to be burdened with some obscure non-Angloamerican dud allegedly named "Dun" to open for them.
Who calls their band "Dun"? Haw-haw. Next you'll have some dude named Scott Walker opening for Steven Wilson, hoy-hoy.

Pleeeaaase! I wan't more Dün!!!!!
Alain, can I send my mother (who lives in Nantes) to film/record it??
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
Nice. Is this event unique as in a one-off? Nothing else in the works?
Shit, I would gladly have made the trip to see this, but I have tickets to that Zappa thing at the Philharmonie in Paris on the same day...

I mastered that album twice and know it so well yet My expectations are not that high
40 years ...
I would leave Zappa behind and go. There will be plenty of Zappa events in the future. DUN? Maybe never again!
Yes you can - just got the reply from J. Geeraerts (Dun guitar player).
He added that the show will be officially filmed + recorded. No further details. Anymay, your mother is welsome :-)
mmmmhhh!!!...
****Embarrased cough****
I was only kidding about my mom...
She's over 80 and who totally hate Dün, and, despite loving classical music, she's really conservative...
She'd probably approve more Dearth Metal, gangsta rap or hardcore punk than she would of Dün

For those who can understand french, a message from Jean GEERAERTS (DUN guitar player) :
Bonjour les amis,
C'est une histoire assez incroyable et improbable.
Le groupe DÜN fondé en 1977 a donné en septembre 1978 l'un de ses concert à La Fleuriaye de Carquefou.
Les organisateurs actuels nous ont proposé de fêter cet anniversaire en donnant un concert le dimanche 30 septembre prochain à partir de 16h au coté de deux autres groupes dont un, Philippe Menard trio était aussi présent en 1978 et le groupe NORWICK.
Ce qui est improbablec'est de faire jouer 6 musiciens 40 ans plus tard. Pascal Vandenbulke flute & composition, Alain Termolle percussions vibraphone, Bruno Sabathé claviers, Thierry Tranchant basse, Laurent Bertaud batterie, et votre serviteur à la guitare & composition. Les 6 musiciens ont connu des carrières différentes mais quand ce projet nous a été proposé, aucun ne s'est défilé...pas pour se regarder le nombril mais simplement parce que cette musique nous colle encore au cœur et à la peau.
Ce qui est incroyablec'est que cela fait 40 ans que nous n'avons plus joué ensemble et que nous sommes encore en pleine forme et très motivés pour donner ce concert anniversaire.
La musique de DÜN est rebelle et anti système. Ni jazz, ni rock ni musique contemporaine mais en partie inspirée de ces trois genres. Tout est écrit et fait pour ne jamais caresser dans le sens du poil, tout un programme ! Ce groupe a connu un certain succès mais sa musique résonne encore à l'international auprès de fans qui s'arrachent le vinyle dans divers pays, Canada, Japon, USA etc. Si vous voulez en savoir un peu plus, rendez-vous sur mon site improvisation-musique.fr à la page « la musique de Jean Geeraerts », le groupe DÜN.
A faire suivre à vos amis mélomanes
Mieux vaut réserver ! 02 28 222 222

"Hello friends,
It's a pretty incredible and improbable story. The group DÜN founded in 1977 gave in September 1978 one of his concerts at La Fleuriaye de Carquefou.
The current organizers have offered to celebrate this anniversary by giving a concert on Sunday, September 30 from 16h alongside two other groups including one, Philippe Menard trio was also present in 1978 and the group NORWICK. What is improbable is to play 6 musicians 40 years later. Pascal Vandenbulke flute & composition, Alain Termolle vibraphone percussion, Bruno Sabathé keyboards, Thierry Tranchant bass, Laurent Bertaud drums, and your servant on guitar & composition. The 6 musicians have had different careers, but when this project was proposed to us, none of them went away ... not to look at the navel but simply because this music still sticks to our heart and skin.
What is unbelievable is that we have not played together for 40 years and we are still in good shape and highly motivated to give this anniversary concert.
DUN's music is rebellious and anti system. Neither jazz, rock nor contemporary music but partly inspired by these three genres. Everything is written and done to never caress in the direction of the hair, a whole program! This group has had some success, but its music still resonates internationally with fans who are selling vinyl in various countries, Canada, Japan, USA etc. If you want to know a little more, go to my site improvisation-musique.fr on the page "the music of Jean Geeraerts", the group DÜN. To forward to your friends music lovers
Better to book! 02 28 222 222"
Very, very nice! Thanks so much for posting!
