TOME 87

I have had the pleasure of seeing Ange twice early 70's,and there is no better live band.This is one of the many live albums they have done and the performance,atmosphere and sound is brilliant! I do have a niggle with the short introduction - the beginning of La Poubelle is a killer intro- why start with the end bit? After that,sheer perfection.Many Ange classics are on show here and brought to life by the band, Christian,I believe,is up there withthe best male vocalists of rock.Yes the lyrics are in French,but you get the passion and a story being told- better than Gabriel any day! ( Sur la Trace).Francis adds some brilliant eerie mellotron keys at the beginning of Le Cimetiere as Christian has some bonkers vocals! This band are a joy to listen to- yes some live albums duplicate songs- but the songs are SO amazing you cannot get enough.
