Probably the best to come out of France

"This live album has got all a live album needs. Not only does France Gall sing just like you imagine a Frenchwoman would do, she also charms her fans with nice little stories and fantasies, and she is joined by the Phoenix Horns and Doudou N'Diaye Rose who really add some spice to her nice songs.Much of this album is inspired by blues and jazz. And some of the songs are blown up to double length, without ever becoming pretentious. The highlights are »Amor Tambien«, »Big Fat Mama« and »Ella, Elle L'A« - the last one being a tribute to Ella Fitzgerald.One regret though: the original vinyl double album contains 13 songs - the CD contains only 11. Not too wise!"
