Ok I will try to give the full context: • Johnny : The most admired singer in France from early 60s to 2017 when he died. He is the Elvis of France, sold more than 110M records WW. His concerts were huge! To give you an idea on how big he was in the french music history, just 3 anecdotes: 1/ as a teenager, he was mentored by Edith Piaf herself ! 2/ He was the first one who gave his chance to a young guitarist and his band, as a supporting act to his concerts during his 1966 tour. Name of the band: the Jimi Hendrix Experience! 3/ When he died in 2017, there were national funerals, with hundred of bikers on the Champs-Elysees, 1 million people long the path of the funeral procession. And this song was played when the coffin penetrated in the church. Johnny was a real vocal powerhouse, but for this concert , in this last night, best perf, the mics were balances in favor of Lara: he wanted her to shine and found this gave more drama to the duet. • The song: this is an anthem song for him, that he used to sing alone. This was turned into a duet for Lara. The story of the song was created in reference to a very famous old french classic movie: Le Jour se Leve (1939) where the main character is barricaded and surrounded by the police, having killed a bad man who was his rival in love affairs. Here it becomes more a « Bonnie and Clyde » scene where the main character and her girlfriend are defying the police. • The venue/event: Johnny’s concerts in Stade de France ( biggest stadium in Paris and France) in front of min 80,000. Lara was one of the surprise special guest. They were supposed to perform it 3 times in a row on September 1998 (4th, 5th and 6th). The first night on the 4th, it was deluge of rain, the scene was outdoor, it was risky and they decided at the last minute, with the crowd in the stadium, to postpone it to Sep 11th . Johnny was devastated. The second night and the third night the weather was fine enough. The orchestra and choir setup was amazing, the choir especially which was distributed on huge stairs climbing to the sky. But the night of 11th, the rain was here again. Johnny absolutely refused to cancel this time. This is this Sep 11th show that you just watched and the rain just added some dramatic effect to the whole performance. The orchestra was located under a tent. The choir was grouped on the floor and on some balconies (not on stairs anymore obviously) • Lara: she was at the beginning of her career in France and this performance became legendary and accelerated her fame there. She was unknown in France when, in February 1998, she performed this song in duet with Johnny for Les Enfoires, the most attended France TV Show of each year. Johnny was so surprised and amazed by Lara performance that he decided to do this song again as a duet with her for the 3 big concerts a few months later. In between February and September, the album Pure from Lara had become an absolute mega hit in France, and Lara was already a star. But this live performance where she performs as a surprise guest definitely extended her fame and she got new fans across the entire country.

👍👍 genial , on ressent une connexion et une complicitée parfaite entre les deux ! Des frissons , du debut a la fin de cette chanson, un delice !

I would like to point out that during rehearsals Johnny Hallyday would have asked Lara Fabian to sing I would like to point out that during rehearsals Johnny Hallyday would have asked Lara Fabian to sing with all her power, he wanted her to shine because she was his guest. Confirmation from Lara Fabian herself this morning January 25, 2024 on the French channel “TF1” in the show “Bonjour la matinale” This is why Johnny Hallyday is below vocally. It was intentional on his part. Johnny Hallyday was very generous. Also note those who do not know or know very little about this singer Johnny Hallyday, he could easily rise very high too. Very big vocal power too. I wanted to provide a clarification that I had already known for a long time but now with proof for those who belittle or who do not know this great performer. I'll let you judge for yourself by listening to a few albums in their entirety: "Rivière Ouvre ton lit" from 69, "Flagrant délit" from 71, "Insolitudes" from 73, “Derrière l'amour” from 76 “Hallyday 84 Nashville en direct” "Rock'n'roll attitude" from 85, "Gang" from 86, "Cadillac" from 89, "Ça ne chanhe pas un homme" from 91, “Ce que je sais” from 98, “Sang pour sang” from 99, “A la vie à la mort” from 2002, “Ma vérité” from 2005, “L'attente” from 2012, “Rester vivant” from 2014, his last posthumous album “Mon pays c'est l'amour” from 2018. And so many other magnificent albums.. etccccc

I always love your reactions girl. More Lara please !

Thank you Sarah for this great reaction! If you love Lara & Johnny, there is another great performance by them, lesser known and imho more moving than this one. Unfortunately the only video showing real footage is bad but the following one has very good audio even if the footage is not corresponding 🤩 It's a beautiful Johnny song, from 1976: "Lara Fabian Derrière l'Amour " I give you the link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nNqhp7di2J-xiYE.html

c'est cela se sortir les tripes sur scène.
