Dear "Celine Fan 77", I hope you don't mind asking: But how verified is this date? In my compendium I do have the day before (Oct. 17) at the Zenith. Unfortunately I can't remember where I once found that information. Could well be it was false by then. So if you do have a trusted source, that would help. Thank you very much in advance and for the pictures with the unusual hair styling.

Aaah! OK. Although Getty unfortunately has a lot mistakes (wrote them several times to correct data) - but let's hope this time it's the right information!
Thank you very much!

I think she did the Zenith after? That's when Live a Paris was recorded right?

Yes, the Zenith de Paris, but I meant "Zenith de Lille"  that was on Oct. 17. 
Zenith de Paris (with the recordings) followed from Oct. 20-24.

Oh, I thought there was one Zenith in France lol

I find it weird there was no rest between the October 17th and 18th shows, considering it was a different country, no time to move all stage equipment, sound checks etc, and above all, rest her voice...I think a few dates are off here

 No, those Zenith's really confuse us  According to Wikipedia: "Large concert halls in France are usually called "Zénith". There are currently 18 Zeniths, and a 19th is under construction in Le Port on Réunion Island, an overseas department." (Well, in fact "Zénith de La Réunion" was abandonned in 2014. And I don't know if all the others still exist.)

Well - you are absolutely right I too asked myself how she did those tours with every day performances - as there was also a lot of other stuff in between. And, yes, could well be that Wikipedia doesn't have the correct dates. But, unfortunately, I don't know any other trustful source - so nerds (like me) who do have Céline compendiums unfortunately have to depend on that. Always hoping to find information to verify, what was collected over the years.

Well, Lille and Brussels are not that far away at all, but anyway where your point is right is about resting : don't forget that a few days after that Céline would lose her voice on stage in Paris and the last Paris show would be canceled... She really was under pressure at that time.
