The first support group, Denis Gouzil's "Special Trio", were extremely interesting, with subdued scat vocals reminiscent of Uppsala, but Monsieur Poulet (a clown / mime artist) who messed around onstage during their set was just an unwelcome nuisance. UPPSALA, newly reformed with Philippe Cauvin, Dany Marcombe and Didier Lamarque are planning an album soon, their set was simply terrific. Then the event of the decade.... Christian and Janik on-stage together again at last! Beginning with 'Overdrive' their performance was marvellous. Didier started to annihilate his bow whilst getting into 'GHK Go To Miles' in a big way. Benoît played a lot of the melodies, which surprised me because I had thought they were violin parts on the album.
Janik played an awesome mini-solo in the middle of 'Sept Cent Soixante Sept - ZX'. The main part of the set concluded with 'Reliefs'. Didier said it was nice to play some of the things they had recorded in 1981 but that were not released, or played live at the time. By which we presume he meant the encore: 'Fred' - a Tony Williams' Lifetime number. The final track might have been the promised new number written by Janik Top, but it seemed familiar to me - so I am not sure about that. Afterwards everyone seemed ecstatic to have witnessed such a glorious event.
