Ce DVD est exceptionelle... Je suis aller voir Garou en concert Au Centre Molson (maintenant le centre Bell) à Montreal au mois de mai 2002 puis ce DVD est l'exact spectacle!!! Le son est bon, les images sont magnifiques et les extras son très interressant.

Great show.......2006-10-06

First, the DVD I received is playable in all regions. It appears to be manufactured in Asia. The case has some printing inconsistencies (such as: NTSC - all zones, 4:3 full screen in a widescreen rectangle, and Language: English - it is actually French).
The interior of the case does not feature any booklet at all, as it appears to be the case with the original French release.
My only complaint is the sound, which appears to be muddy, like through a bad compressor, and of unequal dynamics (featuring noticeable drops in intensity). Since this release is in 5.1 surround and the original French DVD is plain stereo, the soundtrack was definitely remixed; this may be the reason for the drop in sound quality. This DVD does NOT feature both soundtracks although there was enough space on it for both.

As for the show itself, it is absolutely great! Myléne is an excellent show woman with great voice. Daring costumes (or the lack of?) by Paco Rabanne for her and the girls on back-vocals and an absolutely excellent live band complete an unforgettable experience. She performs several of her hits (Je t'aime Mélancolie, Desenchantée, XXL, Sans Contrefaçon, Libertine, etc.) It'd be great if she'd get more airtime in other countries than France, especially here across the pond.

I'm a Mylène Farmer super-fan; not only that, I would dare to say that I'm a devote admirer of hers; I own all of her studio albums and two of her three Live albums, plus all her DVDs.

Sadly her DVDs have only been edited in France, which means they are Zone 2 and compatible with PAL System DVD players and TV sets; so, unless you own a multizone DVD player, compatible with both NTSC and PAL systems, plus a multizone TV set, compatible with NTSC and PAL systems, you won't be able to experience this great DVD, unless it's a bootleg copy made with a software which annuls zone and turns it into "0" and transforms/converts PAL into NTSC compatible.

After this warning for Mylene fans and Amazon buyers, I must say that this 1997 Concert is a top-experience. Mylène is at her prime, after the release of her 1995 Studio Album "Anamorphosée", so the concert is more rock-oriented and has stronger guitars and bass arrangements, in accordance to that album's style.

The Concert's opening is awesome, maybe not as jaw-dropping as the incomparable opening of her 2001 "Mylenium Tour" Concert, but still impressive, with a radiant, beautiful Mylène, dressed (or perhaps "undressed") in futuristic style (a-la-1997) by noted couturier Paco Rabanne.

The selection of songs consists of almost all the tracks from "Anamorphosée", plus others from her albums "L'Autre" (1991)(4), "Ainsi soint Je" (1988)(2) and "Cendres de Lune" (1986)(1); and two goodies: "La Poupée quit fait Non" and "Que mon coeur lâche".

Mylène's magic; her excellent live rendition of all the songs; the great rapport with her audience and fans; the sexy and elegant dance ensembles with her troupe of dancers; the deep sentiment and warmth with which she sings her ballads; multiple changes of wardrobes; her "oomph"; all of it, is at full display in this one-in-a-lifetime experience.

So if you have the technical requirements, enjoy this prodigy!

Wow wow!.......2006-03-18

An outstanding show from Senegal's ambassador of mbalax. A friend from Senegal gave me this DVD for my birthday. It took me a while to finally watch it because I wasn't all that excited about watching a concert performance on my little laptop. Now I wish I hadn't waited. In addition to Youssou N'Dour's mellifluous and soulful singing, there are dancers who tear up the stage as well as terrific back-up singers and a song with Rokia Traore, a fantastic singer from Mali (I really like her album "Bowmboï"). And always the sabar-inspired mbalax groove driving the grooves, as well as talking drum and an occasional djembe lick.

Mylene's Tour - Live at Bercy!.......2007-05-13

Mylene Farmer, born Mylene Jeanne Gautier (ASOCAP 2006), Montreal, Quebec, Canada, in 1961, to French parents - chose as homage to Frances Farmer, her stage name. She has sold well over one million music recordings in France alone - but to date offers no English sung song titles in her recordings. Mylene gained international recognition from her many video and stage recordings, e.g. Pourvu qu'elles soient douces - a 17 minute music video clip. Mylene plays sold out concernts in Europe, and Live at Bercy (DVD) is one of these performances. To describe her performance in French would be 'sensational', however, the word 'entreprendre' (to undertake) is perhaps a better description. Mylene undertakes the task of communicating to her audience a performance finesse that both intrigues and has one warming to her stage presence. Although the costumes by Pacco Rabbane are rather simple and certainly not erotic, the simplicity of the costumes and the dancing are non-intrusive; allowing the light and sound imaging of Tuxedo Tour Productions to simply excite the senses. The decor by Xavier Grosboir and Jean-Michael Laurent is also simple; allowing Mylene's stage presence and her performance to dominate. This conception performance by Mylene Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat is spectacular, concerning the sound and lighting, as well as Mylene's communications with her audience - and they are 'her' audience. If you love Mylene Farmer, then you will certainly add this DVD - by Toutankhaman S.A. - to your collection. Distributed by Universal/Polydor, without the provincial rawness, Mylene Farmer delivers 20 generous track scenes, that makes me want to here more, see more, and experience more, of this mysterious woman's mistique. This is an unusual review by an heterosexual male, I know...particularly when the high percentage of Mylene's fan base is gay. I just happen to like her too!
