Hélène — Bercy, Paris, 1995

Why this recording

Six sold-out nights at Bercy in January 1995, and an entrance perched atop a huge guitar tilted towards the crowd, in a metal costume designed by Paco Rabanne. The show was written and conceived by Jean-François Porry, with the video directed by Pat Le Guen using AB Télévision's facilities. The credits list seventeen numbers, opened and closed by "Moi aussi je vous aime". On stage, five musicians and two backing singers, Francine Chantereau and Martine Latorre, under the musical direction of Gérard Salesses, co-composer of every song.

Full concert of Hélène Rollès at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy in January 1995, released at the time on VHS as « Bercy 95 — Le Concert Intégral ». Made famous by the TV series « Hélène et les Garçons », the French singer brings to Bercy’s big stage the early-1990s phenomenon of teen-oriented French variété. This filmed live concert runs through her hits in a large-venue staging, before a big and loyal audience, and documents a landmark moment of French TV pop culture of the era. Backed by a full band and stage production, the show turned a television-born fame into a genuine live event, filling one of Paris’s largest indoor arenas. Long circulated on video, the capture is a valuable record of Hélène’s musical career at its media peak. A full concert of French chanson to discover or rediscover, representative of 1990s French variété and of the télé-crochet generation.
