Damien Saez — Full Concert, Paris, 2002

This full concert captures Damien Saez on stage in Paris in 2002, at a pivotal point in his career, between the album « Jours étranges » and the recognition of a loyal audience. A singular singer-songwriter of the French scene, Saez unfolds his raw-nerve writing here, between rock chanson, urban poetry and adolescent revolt. The live recording restores the intensity of an artist who alternates electric flashes and suspended moments at the piano or guitar, carried by an unmistakable voice. On stage, raw energy and emotional commitment take precedence over any flashy staging, in the direct, unfiltered vein that defines the artist. A precious document for anyone following his path, this filmed concert bears witness to the Saez of the early 2000s, already free and defiant. A reference for lovers of French chanson, lyric-driven rock and period filmed concerts, to discover for the sincerity of a live performance where each song seems torn out raw, in a silent, attentive communion with the Paris audience gathered that night.
