Les Arena of the Agora, Evry, 22: 30, Saturday evening. a tunnel, A light at the end, a silhouette. A man who comes out of the tunnel. It is with this strong image and his song “Still standing” that Renaud was found on Saturday evening the stage, and the public after almost ten years of absence, of suffering and of rebirth. The first date of a tour for a hundred concerts, which will continue next summer at the festivals.
The Agora Evry (Essonne), is full to bursting and waiting with such impatience as she begins to chant his name, and disrupts the movie full of humor and absurdity on the ways of the world, projected before his appearance almost messianic, 20 hours and dust.
Renaud is faithful to its “chetron” wild, red bandana, black leather and jean. A long clamor and cries of love of the hosts. “Hello wildlings, sauvageonnes. Me too I missed you, ” he said, excited and teasing. There was a good atmosphere for a small town of the province”.
Renaud has not lost his sense of humor. But his voice ? It knows it is damaged, it has raised concerns in June when he appeared at a concert of his friend, Grand Corps Malade, who has brought the taste to write. She puts a moment to heat up, it fluctuates constantly, but for a first, it takes a pretty good shock.
It is more comfortable on the old classics, such as “as Soon as the wind will blow” and “blister”. She is barely in the grave, is sometimes saved by the public, such as on “mistral ” winner”, is wrong about the introduction of the “blood-red”.
But too happy to review it, 64 years of age, the public would forgive him and offer him many ovations. “His voice is more hoarse, but it goes well with the character,” says Aurelian, 35 years old, red bandana, like his idol that he sees for the first time. “You all have over 65 years of age, I imagine”, lance-t-il. It is far from the account. There are all the generations, who know and sing all his repertoire,”Manu”, “medal”, “Manhattan – Kaboul”, “Morgane de toi”…
there is no set. What are the video projections that adorn the stage with modernity and elegance. They are recreating the character of Manu in the beginning. During “The words”, the summit of his new album, we are in an old library, there is Republic square during “I kissed a cop” and in Venice on the “Heloise”.
It is more than a dialogue, it is a family meeting, a communion. Renaud is not sparing in his thanks to his fans and to his family, present in the room. It shows the water bottle near him. “Yes, I know I stopped the bullshit, the Ricard.” His fans applaud him and encourage him. They shout “Thank you Renaud” with turn of arm. They get up, when he salutes with his six musicians – a sober and impeccable – at the end of two hours. Obviously they don’t want to let him go. Him no more. He closed the reunion with a medley of seven hits, from “Miss Maggie” to “Tired”. It is not. It remains close to 2: 30 on scene, based on another symbolic picture of the phoenix that is reborn from its ashes. That said, Renaud is back. And it is on the right voice.
