HUBERT-FELIX THIEFAINE
PARIS-ZENITH (1995)
320 KBPS

While his studio albums are of good quality, it's in concert that Hubert-Félix Thiéfaine really shines. This live, recorded on the tour supporting 1995's "Fragments d'hébétude", is another vivid proof of that and, though it doesn't have the emotional value of Thiéfaine à Bercy (a live recorded to celebrate Thiéfaine's discographic 20th birthday) it has a tracklist that offers enough surprises and classics to content the die-hard fan as well as the newcomer.
Those already familiar with Hubert-Félix poetic mix of chanson and rock already know what a pleasure it is to hear him live and since "Paris Zénith" can also be seen as a good introduction to the man's work, it certainly is something not to miss even more with its two long medleys offering snipets of song seldom played live. A nice live album and a worthy addition to Thiéfaine's catalogue.
