I had the opportunity to attend a lot of live performances in Paris from March 2009 to December 2012 (see events on my Lastfm). I got to see some of my favorite bands who were opening bands or main bands, but also bands I like less or I don't know well. Here's the full list to give you an overview of the music scene at that time :
