With tight security, Eagles of Death Metal performed live in the city for the first time since the attack on the theater, in which 90 people
PARIS – the tickets were sold in less than an hour. The Eagles of Death Metal (EODM), who played in Bataclan night of the attacks in Paris, returned to action last night at the Olympia, in a concert that some described as “group therapy” and others “dangerous haste”.
the result was a festive evening, “full of energy, great music and great fellowship among those present,” said Amaury Boudin, one of the survivors at the end of the concert.
“the idea is to finish the concert interrupted that day,” had declared Jesse Hughes, singer and guitarist of the Californian group. Along with fellow together, Hughes acted in the Bataclan to 1500 people that tragic night of November 13 last, when three armed terrorists Kalashnikov and explosives belts stormed the room determined to kill and die shows.
the group only stopped playing for a few seconds to “spare a thought” to the victims of November 13 and then resumed with a rock feverishly, accompanied with enthusiasm by the public, who seemed more interested in listening to the concert in thinking about the night of the attack.
the survivors and relatives of the 90 victims received free tickets, but not all attended. “For many, it was a last minute decision,” admitted a member of the association Life for Paris, which brings together about 500 survivors.
In any case, after receipt of the control measures, all it had been planned in advance. The police set up in the morning a security cordon around the theater.
The prefecture of the capital held a “sanctuary perimeter” where there was “no parking or pedestrians except public concert.”
Meanwhile, the National Federation of Victims Support (INAVEM) and cell-Psychological Emergency Medical staged at the theater accompanying an amazing device with about 30 people to assist those they got not exceed the impact of emotion.
“Three months is a very short period. There is a risk of relapse [trauma],” warned the morning Carole Damiani, director of the association Paris Aide aux Victimes.
From November 13, the EODM called musicians like when referring to the group who never miss a chance to show their solidarity with the victims. They decided that deliver all royalties from his song “I love you all the time”.
However, recurrent statements Jessie Hughes are far from that wave of love and brotherhood.

“it is necessary that everyone is armed. Everyone should he have a gun, “he said in an interview with French news channel itele.
in France, the bearing of arms is prohibited by law.
a day before the concert, survivors and relatives of victims of the attacks appeared before the Parliamentary Committee on Research, which studies the eventual device failure support and information.
While all recognized courage, resolution and professionalism of the intervention forces, some stories about finding family or requests for telephone support during the attack is located at the limit of the improbable.
