Production
The scene of the Tournée des Grands Espaces tour was a metallic slope inclined towards the audience, Alain Bashung singing in the center, with the musicians surrounding him.
The tour was produced by Garance productions (Laurent Castanié), and directed by Vincent Boussard and Alain Poisson. The general direction was done by Jean-François Meinadier and the technical direction by François Lepaysan. Some European rock critics consider this to be one of the best live albums in the history of French music.
Reception
In 2012 the French edition of Rolling Stone magazine named this album the 58th greatest live album ever (out of 100).[1]
