I was actually in attendance for this concert (admittedly towards the back); it was pure fire from start to finish. That team was just electrifying

Binda Bass' bass was boosted more than other Koffi concerts; the entire hall was literally shaking and vibrating during sebene.

At this point, we can see that the dances for Effrakata were still in development

It was meant to be a double Zenith-event if I remember it well, after failing to perform at the Parc-des-Princes Stadium in Paris. But they cancelled other day.
I believe that Koffi brought 10 female-dancers, to prove Wemba's Fioti-Fioti who performed at Zenith one year before a point.

I don't understand why Chamberton really got the chance to shine in Quartier Latin and where was Champion Djikapela at this concert ?

Because during the Effrakata-concerts he was barely singing on stage, he wasn't called by Koffi Olomide to be present in the Effrakata-clips and in Affaire d'Etat he had only two or 3 vocals.

That version of Bilan they where singing during QL's 14th birthday is very different than that of the album. Listining to the lyrich it was surely a diss-track against Academia or Papa Wemba. ""Osali Nga Mabe" "Reconnaissance ne pas de ce monde", "sala bango babosana", "amema bango", etc.

Mamale used a part of Osali Nga Mabe in his first solo-album of 2005

Who's that guy in those red cloths doing crazy??? Zobozi or Blaise Element?

and who's animating along with CNN?

You can feel that Koffi wanted to get rid of Champion Djikapela slowly and he's also not praised many times, which was normally the case in concerts with musicians shouting his name the whole time. "Champion" "Stoumi" "Esthetique Djikapela".

What made Mamale Tupac to be not present in this concert ??

Surprisingly Koffi's Zenith's aren't talked about its just Bercy and Olympia that gets talked about.

Koffi's Zenith's of 2001, 03, 07 & 09 are not alot talked about because he did already performed there in 1998, so it was not special anymore. His real dream was to perform at the Parc-des-Princes stadium. To let people from Congo & Africa see that he was more suprerior then all artitst. It pissed Koffi reality off that Werrason performed at Bercy 7 months after him and not 2, 5, 10 or 20 years later.  Like African artists did after Tabu Ley's Olympia of 1970.

Those Olympia, Zenith '98 & Bercy are alot talked because;
1. Koffi was after Tabu Ley in 1970, Abeti Masikini in 1973 & 75 the third Congolese artist and maybe also African to perform at Olympia (28 years later). Which was at time very difficult to perform at, because at that time they where only letting prestitious or promising artitsts perform
2. Koffi after Abeti Masikini in 1988, the second Congolese artist to perform at Zenith and he was the first African artist ever to perform at a Sold-Out Zenith, someting which Abeti failed to do.
3. Koffi Olomide was the first African artist to perform at Bercy (sold-out) and that was without advertisment on the French-music channels. Something which did the French press amaze.

Koffi's first Zenith of 1998 was alot talked about. but the concert was not released on VHS because Academia was created, when he just wanted to release the VHS and Koffi didn't want that the guys of Academia would profit from succes of the VHS. Becuase they already profited alot of the succes of Olympia-VHS.That's also why he didn't record videoclips from the Droit de Veto-Album (except Rond Point, Droit de Veto & Sens Inverse). Koffi released only some little extrats of the concerts on the Droit de Veto-VHS. That's why people nowadays or born in the 90's are talking more about Olympia & Zenith. The clips Rond Point, Droit de Veto & Sens Inverse he made where barely promoted on the Congolese tv. Just as strategie to let Academia not get profit of its succes. Something which affected Do Akongo alot. So made on his own a videoclip of his song Sens Inverse to promote on Congolese artist. Something which didn't please Koffi. So he was slowly setlle him of along with Popolipo (who recorded a solo album with his enemy Emeneya & Academia-members Bouro, Pathy Bass & Somono). Koffi regrets till this day what he did to Popolipo & Do Akongo, because they where import members of QLI & contributed alot in his carreer.
