Grand Corps Sick on edge at the Zénith de Toulouse
Thursday, February 10, emotion and laughter predominated at the Zénith for the concert of Grand Corps Malade, laughing and well accompanied, in front of a room of 6,000 very receptive spectators.
Miami? Los Angeles? In any case, it’s the suburbs of our home that we find in the opening short film of the evening. A group of buddies comes to team up at a potion dealer selling personality juices enclosed in jars. Then head to the brain of a certain Grand Corps Malade (that of the comedian-actor Alban Ivanov was not a pretty sight)… and the dark is done. “It’s live, vibrant entertainment, welcome to this brain, make yourself at home…” It was enough for the public to indulge body and soul.
And if the “Ladies” of the last album do not stand there, physically, on the stage with the four artists, they are nevertheless very present on the giant screen, starting with Julie and Camille Berthollet in large format playing “Chemins de traverse”. with force violin and cello. Then comes quickly, and in pulsating tempo, “the young tornado from the south of France”, Suzane, with whom the singer exchanged his body “For 24 hours” on the last album. The tenor of the evening is decided there in just a few songs and we feel that the “Ladies” who arrive next make hearts sway and raise the public for a big round of applause. Audrey who holds back her tears: “I find that he has a depth of soul, he knows how to pose and choose the words to describe episodes of life, resentments and emotions. He has a knack for tearing me to tears. For the laughs and the return of the ball, DJ Mosimann on keyboards, and composer of this decidedly successful record, sticks to it and has as much fun as the master of ceremonies. Hats off gentlemen!
