I'm sure that many people would mock JB, if this concert was in plein na plein-era.

This is a quite hard statement to make apparently the hall was completely full that day so if it was like 2 or 4 years later maybe the would have played a much bigger hall because Wenge that time had a massive popularity especially after the release of feux de l'amour

i was there and the hall was full, and what is not shown in the video was also that there was rain and at some point some people went to stand somewhere they can be away from it
you can even hear jb  telling mboka to do his impro quickly because "mbula ezali"
bataclan is 1500 seats or so,almost twice less than olympia

besides that chorus at the end of second video is unreal with makaba,jb,lias,afande,ya ciel and even when tutu joins them he does not mess it up

I know Mboka Liya was there but who were the other guitarists on this team? Not sure I am familiar with them.

Aah Okay, because it looks like mpiaka in the begining of the video. Was Bataclan in that era in for a part in open air ?

Yes they played in a period where there were festivals of reggae and those type of music there so they modified the setup a bit(maybe to accomodate diamba smokers :D :D :D :D :D :D

Does not anybody think that we would also see Werrason, Aldophe, Ali Mbonda, Christian Mwepu and Ferre Gola there, if the minister of culture didn't forbid Wenge to perform after the GHK-concert ?

together at bataclan? i doubt it because mr simon had to make his usual strategy of causing split in group and picking the side he believes has more future and can make him earn more
just noticed ali mbonda is credited in the names at the end, only seguin was not mentioned maybe a mistake,i also saw such thing sometimes on quartier latin's concerts

guy guy fall  former extra musica  was also supposed to join the group around this  time  to replace  werrason (vocally) , i remember afande announcing the new on karibu variete , right before they left kin for this concert, i dont know exactly what happened and he never was mentioned , the same thing happened with regis tuba  also a former extra musica a couple of years later.

indeed fall should have replaced nsone but changed his mind,as for regis what happened is that he was in direct competition with jdl and since jdl already had good relationship with the other guys he was unsettled and they even used "excuse" that he is from brazza(as in those years in both countries there was controversy in those situations,papy bastin also got it hard to be accepted in extra musica for that)

there are people who say that Guy-Guy Fall changed his mind because Blaise Bula didn't want him in BCBG.

do you guys  think  having fall in bcbg would have been a good move?
