I have this on tape, it’s just electrifying. Fun fact my parents went to that show live, and left me home with my cousins and we were just watching the tape of Force d’intervention rapide lol.

The one of 2002 is by far better, this one is missing fire. I guess that the musicians didn't knew what Brixton Academy was, thinking that like the gym of Tottenham, where most Congolese bands used to perform beside Stratford Rex.

Somono isn't animating well and the sebene is slow compared to other concerts of this tour. They were performing like it was a normal show with improvisation. The one of 2002 had really fire and was well structured.

Maybe this is why they all said the Zenith of 1998 was nothing special. I need to watch the 2002 one again.

Having seen the few extracts on the Droit de Veto-VHS, the one of M6 and TF1, I think that it good show better than the one of Brixton Academy.  But It's not easy to put a show at a mythic hall in middle of the tour. There is less time to prepare, compared to the shows who are prepared in Kinshasa and there is also less hunger among the artists. I think that it motivated Werrason when he wanted to perfrom at Palais des Sports, JB Mpiana at Olympia after his Zenith and later Papa Wemba at Olympia after performing at the same Zenith, to put more effort to give a good show.

Z-Ndule did a good job, but I feel scammed lol after discovering that the concert was released in two parts. It's all Tata Mapassa's fault. I hate that volume 1 & 2 stuff. Volume 1 was already hard to find, so I don't believe that we will ever get volume 2. Unless Tata Mapassa decides to create a youtube-account and upload all videos of  theconcerts he organised in London.

It crazy to think that it took Koffi 4 years to made a comeback in London, while most people of his staff used to live there. What happened did ? Did he do a Bouya-Mayola trick lol.

The seben they had at the 52 minute mark was fire. But other than that I agree that the 2002 one was way better. I really need to see the volume 2 of the 2002 Brixton concert.

Sam Tshintu is actually an Underrated Dancer, during the 1998 Olympia tour he was dancing his best, it’s just he was overshadowed by Bouro and Depitcho. But after those two he was the third best dancer. Even when they created Academia he was dancing extremely well but not the way he was dancing here.
