Alizee - Amelie m'a dit (Live) (Olympia?)

[wolfman]

For those of you who haven't heard the new single, Amelie m'a dit....here it is!!!!

Also, as if there is any question that it is from the Olympia concert, well, judge for yourselves. I took some Olympia bootleg audio, and combined it with the new live single for comparison. The new single is in the right channel and the bootleg is in the left. Of course I had to do some editing to match the two audio streams dynamically. You can get a sense of what those crazy audio engineers were doing in the studio all these months. Pitch-correcting Alizee's voice, mixing the crowd, etc. I wasn't totally convinced that it was the Olympia concert until the end, when you hear her say "Merci".

One factor to keep in mind though is that the official version is probably taken from multiple performances, not just the one that the bootleg is from... still, it is true that it has been majorly worked on... but you know what... unlike the 40 second clip we had a few days ago, this conveys enough of that rock'n live energy to make me happy. Would I still like it a little more "raw"? Yeah, probably, but fabricated or not, it's wonderful! Thanks for hosting!

/me rocks out to Amelie Live!

Thanks for the mp3 Wolfman, im lovin' it!

Theres no evidence to suggest that it was taken from multiple concerts. Its certainly possible, but its still speculation. Also im not fully convinced it is from the same performance as that bootleg copies, it can be from any 1 of the 7 Olympia performances.

Anyone got confirmation one what date it is from? It may be easier to find out once we watch the dvds themselves.

EDIT: oops, somehow i was still under the assumption that it was from one of the Olympia concerts, just because it mentioned it in the promo information. my bad. It actually could be from ANY of the tour dates.

Akuma said it's from the Marseille concert :scooter:

I think Akuma may be right, i downloaded the Marseilles live bootleg today to try to compare and it sounded much closer. She did a much better job at nailing each note.

Compare for yourself:

Amelie ma Dit - at Marseille (http://www.mkygod.com/alizee/ALIZEE-Marseille-21-10-2003-11-Amelie-M-a-Dit.mp3)

If you listen carefully, she says Merci after the song right around the same time too. I have not compared the way wolfman has yet though. Like i said before, some concerts she nails it and some she doesnt. I guess this must have been one of the better ones.

EDIT: Upon further inspection, I can almost confirm that it is the Marseille concert as Akuma has said.

During the 2nd verse after the 1st chorus, the audience gets louder all of a sudden(probably something has happedn that you cant see), and Alizee lets out a short chuckle in between words, you can hear this in both versions, although in the Marseilles bootleg, its harder to hear:

at about 1:38 into the song "J'suis pas belle, mais c'est à *chuckle* l'unissons"

I think everyone may be right. The official live version seems to have come from a number of sources. I have to say some things match better from the Marceilles bootleg. But I think Alizee's voice matches the Olympia better (BTW - that was August 26th, 2003). In the Marceilles, she seems to be "sliding" into each lyric a lot more each time starting low and going high. There is some serious studio work here as well.

Anyway, I combined the live version with the Macreilles bootleg for your comparison.....comments encouraged.
