Obviously it's probably the most famous Zenith but was it ever released as a CD? If not was it because of the sound of both concerts not being audible?
The only time the audio is played at parties are the intro and the Obiang Sebene which included arguably the most famous solo dance of all time Koyimbi Ko.

Indeed, the sound quality of one  was very good,
vol 2 was 50/50, but generally they're all superb

No, otherwise it would have been easily findable like "Live du Millenaire" of the Bercy-event, since that JPS Production had the rights over the images and sounds, also produced the cassettes that came on the market of both events (Double Zenith and Bercy). However, I heard part of both concert in some parties and bars in 2002, 2003 & 2004, but it was probably the VHS converted to CD, like the way, many did with Wenge BCBG's Bataclan and show in Abidjan of 1998, to let it play in restaurants and bars.

The sound that you heard in CD-version of concerts is always different from the sound of DVD's and cassettes. Bandleaders sometimes decide to modify the sound, like JB Mpiana did with the CD-version of Bercy. For example, during the intro before JB's arrival on stage, when the singers came on stage, the mi-solo guitar was very high on the cassette version. But that was not the case on the CD-version.

I hope that someone interviews Flamme Kapaya to ask what exactly went wrong on the first day of Zenith. Because it had has been said that there were technical issues, which made the concert also start a bit late. It was strange how Flamme's guitar wasn't audible for the most part of the event. Luckily everything went well for day II

That’s a DVD not a CD. CD is audio, DVD are images
