Never saw the VHS, but I'm sure that it used to be on the market, because it's one of Wemba's biggest event in his musiccareer. People just quickly forget about since that it wasn't a Zenith, Bercy, Olympia or Stade des Martyrs.  The concert at Forest National in July 1999, was to celebrate his 50 Birthday and his 30 years in the musicbusinesss. He invited then King Kester Emeneya, Nyoka Longo, Les Quatro, Molokai, Viva La Musica "Cours des Grands" and other guests.

No, they only performed in Madeleine and Concert Nobles (during christmas 2000 when they invited Evoloko) both halls are very small. Forest National is very big, bigger than Zenith and its difficult to fill. Werrason tried to perform in Cirque Royal (3.500 seats) in 2001 but wasn't able to sold it out.
