For me out of this concert, Bercy & Zénith, its without a shadow of doubt that this one is the best out of all of them. Listen to that drum tuning! ESTHÉTIQUEUUUH!
My favourite part would have to be the bit in the Miss Des Miss sebene where everyone follows Lebou Kabuya in the "belo belo" dance!
-
Wooooooow I was looking for Miss des Miss sebene but for a few months there was no longer this part NOWHERE, for those who are looking the part its 45min to 56min

LITERALLY SAME HERE! I was searching for it for time! Because the version that Melynga uploaded had it cut out halfway through! We need to at least save this before anyone tries to take it down!
-
This version is still not complete lol, because the part of when Consty Eka is presenting Koffi for the second and him singing Miss des Miss is missing + plus de sebene of it from the start until that Lebou suddenly appears with the guitar. Also the a big part of Andrada with those solo dance acts of Modogo, Bouro, Depitcho and co.
I think that he copied the VHS 20 years and that his cassette hadn't alot of space (back in the days you had some cassettes where you cold record only 120 minutes, other 300 minutes, some 240, etc. and most people sometimes uploading 3 VHS or 2 VHS in one) with him skipping that part.

In this video they left the "belo belo" part but they cut other parts, for example before "belo belo" there was the original sebene of miss des miss it was cut

Sonodisc should have released a 4 CD version with the entire concert, it was so mythical...

Ahhh that I can defo comprend. The reason why I said "Full VHS" was because, it finally had the full "Miss Des Miss" sebene in it! But sometimes I do wish there was footage of Koffi performing "NGULUPA" and watching Consty Eka present Koffi with the crowd's energy rather than depending on the CD!
-
Was that part not in the CD version?
-
No unfortunately!
-
Those who were living in DRC and who had a tv in their house were lucky for having followed the whole show from the start until the end. (songs like Papito Charme, etc.)

He did Papito Charme?!

They really performed that song? All this time I thought we had all the content from the concert. I really loved the first part of that song!
-
Man, props to Koffi. Back in the day he had the ability to put on a show for 5-6 hours straight. I got to experience that at his 2001 Zenith.... nowadays I go to a Fally concert and he exhausts his entire repertoire of hits (same rhumbas at each concert) in less than 2 hours and boom... show's over before midnight.

When Congolese artists used to perform at Zenith, Olympia or Bercy in the years 1998-2002, they used to perform like 18 songs. Which made the concerts being 5h long (not even counting the pauses) starting from 00:00 going until 6 in the morning.
When they were releasing the VHS-version of concerts (later DVDs) they were only picking the best parts of the concerst with those videos mostly having max. 10/12 songs. Sometimes they were releasing those videos in 2 parts (volume 1 & 2), but it had then still not the full version of the concert.
For example the VHS-version of Koffi's bercy isn't even 50% of it, because they performed alot of songs that day (Chocolat which was performed as a playback, which made Wemba-fanatics mock him about that, songs like Non Assistance, Victoire, Tchernobyl, Nul n'est parfait, etc.), having also those guests who came to sing with him on stage (Nayanka Bell singing with Koffi the song they sung at Kora Awards, Passi singing African Kings with Koffi, Roga Roga playing guitar on stage when they performed Cameleon,etc.).

I saw back in the days mamale, bouro, depitcho dancing on the sebene of it in a VHS made by Zacharie Bababaswe and Koffi's dncers watching to it in Koffi's house. It must be the full footage of the concert filmed by Theophile Badoana's team before bringing it to the Ecoutez Voir-studio to modifie it with Jean-Pierre Pasquet and make the VHS-version that we know.

Damn it! Sometimes I hate being born in the wrong generation! I was only a 4 months old when Koffi did Olympia! And 1 1/2years old when he did Bercy! Today's music is finished tbh!

Wow that makes me wonder how much unreleased material koffi has in the vault at his house. He needs to release all of it!

Damn, I would've loved to go to a 6-hour concert and truly experience the energy and atmosphere, regardless of venue. I would've especially loved to go to the special celebrations where they had a little party of sorts before the concert. Y'know, something like Koffi's LSC show in 2000. @Matebu, @Archos, @Mfumu Vata you sure are some lucky men ;D.

It was Koffi's 44th birthday celebration and also the last concert of their Europe-tour. Koffi Olomide had Scola Miel as guest who sung Dessin Anime and danced a little bit, I was surprised to not see that part in the VHS. But there was also a moment that there was fight with those zulu-gangster and those children who were presenting crying, it was a big mess until that the security solved ththe problem. (Those indicents of gangsters interrupting his concerts, were mostly in Brussels where his concerts never ended in a normal way since 1998 until 2006).
I remember that Martin Sinnock made an article about the concert, having also pictures of the way they were selling kamundele and mikate before the concert. It a shame that they shot down his website who had interesting reviews about the then new albums, articles of concerts and interviews with artists like Defao, Bozi, Wemba, Koffi, Roga Roga, etc.

Yes, Martin Sinnock was my very first reference for Congolese music on the web. Learned so much from him through his words. Shame his presence went away - I remember when he used to be with us on VDA. I don’t blame him for losing interest in the genre as we entered the graveyard of the late 2000’s
That article on the concert was really good - it made it seem like I was there, even explaining the way Koffi arrived. I remember the picture of him posing next to Pepe Akunji and Christiana Kwassa as they were preparing the food.
Hope “Mwana Machete” is doing well in UK

It was the "New Jack's" right?
-
No,the New Jacks are based in Brussels. Paris was the place of the Zulu gangsters. Back in the past you had sometimes those confrontations of Ba Zulu ya Paris against Ba New Jack ya Bruxelles, with sometimes guys dying while they are from the same country.
