Eric Cantona - In concert.
- Thread starter Stobzilla
- Start date
Quite simply you could sit and watch king Eric peel potatoes all night and it would certainly be more entertaining than watching our current team
I was tempted to go to the one he did a couple of months ago but didn't in the end.
Did anyone go?

Not sure. Eric can be quite niche.
Thought about going the first time around but tickets sold out fast, going to try and get tickets this time
My mate sent me his tour dates a couple of days ago and I'm super excited! 
What's even better is he offered to get the tickets through the 02 priority pre sale for me, so fingers crossed I manage to bag a couple.
Not expecting much from the gig to be honest, but I can't miss the King coming to my town.

What a human
How much were the tickets previously?
Got a pair of tickets
Ticket pricing was £44 or £55. Pretty steep but probably won't get the chance again.
And as a bonus, the missus is paying for them as its a day before me birthday!

Just got a pair of front row tickets for Wolverhampton.
Probably the most random gig I’ll ever go to.

I love Eric, but i just dont know if i would want to go and watch him sing in French.
Flying Kung-fu kick territory
I listened to one of his songs. Well produced. Kind of melodic/sad. Not my thing but not bad.
No gigs in France. Are they still hung up over him like they were in the 90s?

The french...
I love him too, and having checked out a couple of his songs on youtube the answer is a definite no.
I thought about it just out of curiosity but £50 too punchy - sold out pretty fast though
Eric Cantona - a man of many talents.
Singing isn't one of them.

Make sure you raise your drink for Eric the king
Edith Piaf will be turning in the six yard box and feasting off a dinked pass from Eric.
Nothing can surpass the flying kung-fu kick
A lot of blasphemy in this thread
How is he not doing a cover of the Carl Douglas tune?
One of the greatest singers in the world.
Not sure if its cringe or decent
He's not exactly the male Edith Piaf, is he.
Cool story bro.
Wow! What a night. He was his usual crazy self, very serious and deep. Sang English, French and Spanish songs. Not my usual go to but I actually enjoyed it. Good crowd and a great atmosphere.
And to top it all off, I met the great man afterwards for an autograph and a photo. Never forget it

Lucky man
What genre would you say his music is?
Sad Dad
Really difficult to say
The piano and cello in the background are so dramatic. It's like something out of a Alfred Hitchcock or Stanley Kubrick horror movie
His tone is almost like speaking poetry and when he does sing, it's often soft and in French so it's difficult to understand
Interacts with the crowd very well, usually explaining the origin of each song before singing, which promotes audience participation.
He's unique. I would call it Dramatic French Groove Jazz
I saw his performance on Michael McIntyre. I found it absolutely bizarre 
Would pay to watch him all the same.

Sounds like he's ripping off Serge Gainsbourg
This thread actually made me look up Cantona on Wikipedia, and it said that before we signed him in November 1992, we were 8th, but after we signed him, we only lost 2 games as we of course went on to win the league.
