On the big stage Jean-Louis Foulquier, finally very well filled for failing to display complete, there were also the friends Alain Souchon, Patrick Bruel, Jeanne Cherhal, Vianney, Tryo, who accompanied with more or less of The 69-year-old singer s success during her hour-and-a-half recital.
" You can not imagine how happy I am to be here, to see you in La Rochelle ," Sanson said as he entered. After a piano initiation, " I missed myself so much " constitutes a first great moment of drunkenness, followed by a moving version of " I still call it ", released there is two years old and dedicated to his mother.
Very vocal, sometimes even pushing unnecessarily to acute grunts, Véronique Sanson invited Vianney to join her on " Funny Life ", but did not need anyone to take the spectators until " at the Port of Vancouver ".
But the highlight of this evening, which " Véronique Sanson herself had the idea ", according to Florence Games, the director general and artistic, intervened after the recall, when it has held " to present the family ", introducing the father and son Stills.
This is the only moment when Sanson left his piano to grab a guitar, to play an electric version of the song " I'm expecting there ", from the album " The Cursed ", the first of his American trilogy (1974). We expected no less with Stephen Stills at his side, just one of the best guitarists ever to be in La Rochelle.
In this rare moment, ten years after other reunions on the stage of the Olympia this time, where she had badured the chorus on " Love The One You're With " at the end of concert of the American, complicity surfaced. Sanson, feline, even approached Stills who remained impbadive, however.
– " A little bit of history " –
Yet it was for him that in 1972 she put everything on a whim, Michel Berger and France, flying away Joining the United States guitarist Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. It was with him that she married the following year and had Christopher in 1974, before alcohol, drugs and domestic violence blackened the picture.
" She is not bad mom tonight, no? ", asks all proud Christopher, harvesting a " anything! " a tad embarrbaded of his mom, leaving suddenly the star to " his two men ". " We will play a little bit of history ", then announces his son while, divine surprise, his father makes ring the first notes of " For What it's Worth ".
It was in 1966 that he released this tube with his first group Buffalo Springfield which also included Neil Young. The title provoked only rare cries of joy in the public, unlike many " Patrick !!! " then chanted Bruel, came directly from St. Petersburg, where he went to support the winning French team of Belgians in the semifinals of the Mondial-2018 football.
The imprint was above all carbon, with this express trip, rather than musical for the soft cover of " Visitor ", before Alain Souchon connects with the queen of the evening in resuming " Bahia ". A sensual moment and … without continuation, since it concluded nicely the concert.
After which Calogero dumped his tube machine in front of a public who stayed despite the late hour and who had at the beginning of the evening been able to appreciate the songs of Raphael, come to defend his last album " Anticyclone " released last fall.
Earlier in the afternoon, Toulousain singular voice Foé had marked the spirits with bold songs that deserve to be purified.
