Background

After the huge success of her first two studio albums, Kaas decided to perform a series of concerts across the world : the Scène de vie tour. There were 210 concerts, 650,000 spectators in 13 countries, including Japan, Canada and the USSR, where she sang in Moscow and Leningrad. It was recorded across two days between May 12 and 19, 1990, at Zénith of Paris (France).

The album contains many songs from Mademoiselle chante... and Scène de vie, plus a few new songs, such as "Lily Marlène". The hits "Mademoiselle chante le blues" and "Quand Jimmy dit" were performed in an extended version. The original double CD included 20 tracks; the single CD issue includes the 16 tracks listed below.

About 13 years later, the label Sony BMG also published the album as a live DVD.

Chart performances

The CD went straight to #8, its peak position, on December 6, 1991, on the French SNEP Albums Chart. It remained for only two weeks in the top ten and 16 weeks in the top 40.[2] It achieved double gold four years after its release.[3]

The album was less successful in Germany (#53) and Switzerland (#40), where it stayed in the low positions.[4]
