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, and in the last night, best perf, the mics were balanced 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 his girlfriend.
Here it becomes more a « Bonnie and Clyde » scene where both 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.

Wow.. incredible. Thank you so much

[@lillm6874]

Absolutely love this amazing performance 😍😍

[@C.R1987]

Lara's microphone sound was at maximum (it resonated..) and Johnny's was lower.. It was Johnny who asked for it to be done like that. Lara was his guest at the Stade de France and he wanted her to demonstrate her vocal power and shine. Lara herself confirmed it. Johnny in all his generosity... Know that Johnny was a vocal power too but on this last interpretation he did not want because it was done on purpose, Johnny was very intelligent in doing that to make the song more dramatic and show their acting on this magnificent song that belongs to him. The desired goal was the dramatic side of the singing all in power but less than Lara (Johnny) with at the same time next to him a more striking singing power (Lara) and the passionate play between the two. Everything was imagined by Johnny himself to end the last interpretation in style. A masterpiece, perhaps the most beautiful duet in the world.
