(More customer reviews)If you love JJG you will love this two-CD album too, as it redelivers the tour he gave in 2002. Not only does he play and sing most of his latest album's songs (Chansons Pour Les Pieds), but he also gives new interpretations of old favorites from the eighties like Petite Fille or Veiller Tard. The main difference with his former live albums is that in this one, he truly makes his audience a part of his music and the whole ambiance of the concert. For instance there is an entire track devoted to rehearsing with the audience their "part" for certain songs, and it's pretty cool.
Another aspect that strikes me everytime I listen to it is the transitions between the songs, that are really well-thought. For instance the introduction of "Ensemble" is a simple flute melody which comes from the end of the previous song (Tournent les Violons) which gradually weaves into the opening theme of Ensemble. And this is true for many songs and transitions.
Also, the much-missed Carol Frederick who passed away in 2001, was present in the concert with her voice and her picture on the slides shown. I think Jean-Jacques and his band gave her a real tribute in this concert.
From the opening song (Je Marche Seul) to the closing one (Puisque Tu Pars), both with his solo voice and guitar, the concert just spans too quickly and is well wrapped-up.
Finally I would say JJG made great song choices, and the combination between the "old songs" and the newer ones was just right. I was present at his concert and I must say that this album was for me, almost like a second concert :-)
