5 stars 1. Fils De Lumière for the intro, the audience, Jean Pierre's drum solo and the atmosphere created 2. The Long Nights of Isaac for the rest with the spleen guitar, the belching cries of Christian and this beautiful two-step climb 3. Ballade Pour Une Orgie for good evening, one that you take for yourself; memories for those who were there; for the presentation, for Francis' magic organ, for this nursery rhyme that you learned by heart without doing it on purpose; 4. Ode to Emile for the history of the marsh and the feeling of being in a non-religious mass, come on Emile was my grandfather too; short secular listening for the sake of it 5. Dignity because on the album the sound was really old-fashioned from the start, and here in concert with this break on the flute and the organ it is simply divine; the rest you know; ah if after a while we really get a whiff of TANGERINE DREAL then of 'nous sont du soleil' by YES... listen, listen also to the wonderful solo of Jean Michel before the grandiose finale, worthy of a movie soundtrack 6. Le Chien, La Poubelle Et La Rose just for the prog intro as desired, just for this unique moment, yes go look for this title on an album; grandiloquent, enjoyable, explosive, just that; after this title is just written in our collective unconscious and cannot be removed from it 7. On La Trace Des Fées for my favorite title, yes it's him especially since I know how to go to the tip of the island where I see them strolling in white dresses 8 to 10 Hymn To Life: Canticle, Procession and Hymn... the 3rd slap in the face for those who claim that Ange doesn't know how to make great songs... How can we miss a title this good, this magnificent; a delicious triptych which will rise to a crescendo and give its credentials to the group, thank you Francis, Daniel, Jean Pierre, Christian and Jean Michel. A solemn title often put at the end of a concert to say, well, we still have a few minutes left; I'm crazy, I see infinity, but how good is this finale, with this riff from another time and still current; and for another, another 11. These People, that's it, it's over, so we listen, we digest, religiously; the title that makes you scream no because you know it's true, that they have to go home.

An unrecountable live performance, quite simply indescribable.
