Father John Misty

When Father John Misty performed 'Only Son of the Ladies Man' live at La Flèche d'Or in Paris on August 6, 2012, he was riding the wave of the release of his debut solo album, 'Fear Fun.' It marked a pivotal moment in his career, showcasing a blend of witty lyrics and rich melodies that captivated audiences. 'Fear Fun' was released just a few months prior, in May 2012, signalling his departure from the folk rock band Fleet Foxes. This track, with its whimsical yet poignant storytelling, reflects Misty's distinctive style and his knack for crafting emotionally resonant music. During this period, he was gaining recognition not just for his sound, but also for his eccentrically engaging stage presence, which only added to the charm of the live performance seen in this recording.
