Johnny Hallyday is France's answer to Elvis, a rock 'n' roll crooner who began his career in the 1950s and continues to enjoy fame throughout Europe to this day. His gravelly voice and pompadoured swagger making him come across as a hybrid of Neil Diamond and Tom Jones, Hallyday puts on quite a show over this 17-song, 93-minute concert. He sings rocking up-tempo numbers, a couple of bluesy jams, and the occasional power ballad, and when he is front and center, Hallyday is a captivating performer. His voice isn't a knockout and he's certainly not got the charisma of either Diamond, Jones, or Presley, but it's clear to see why Johnny has sustained a career for 50 years. He may look a little Hasselhoff when he preens for the camera, but the man is able to work his pipes for everything they've got. Unfortunately, since it's 1988, the gig has a few problems. For one, the Montreux Jazz Festival shows from the period, were shot on video and though likely of top standards in 1988, and though the DVD looks like it was taken from a pretty good master source, the look of the film leaves something to be desired. Though the cameramen get some great coverage from all over the concert hall, the overall image quality is rather flat and washed-out, as much video footage from the time is. There is also a tendency to go too big with the production stylings. Hallyday's poodle-haired band, looking like extras from a Michael Bolton video, consists of two guitarists, a bass player, two keyboard plays, a saxophonist, a drummer, three back-up singers, and then Hallyday himself sometimes playing guitar. The result is an overabundance of arrangement, so that even when Hallyday begins a song like "Pendue A Mon Coup" on his own playing a Chuck Berry-style guitar lick, it's quickly buried under the sheer tonnage of back-up instrumentation. This lends a cheeseball factor to the music that detracts from the power of Hallyday as a belter and recalls how the Me Decade did its best to swallow other performers from Hallyday's era. David Bowie and The Who recovered, but Rod Stewart and the Rolling Stones apparently never will. Still, Hallyday has a classic lounge sound that sticks true to his early rock roots, including a cover of "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" (the one English song) and two Bob Seger covers, the most familiar being "Le Bon Temps Du Rock and Roll (Give Me that Old Time Rock and Roll)." One duet with back-up singer Shandi Sinnamon (who looks like Sandie Shaw) is reminiscent of early Meat Loaf and perhaps one of the best moments of the show is when Hallyday drops the bombast for a blues-inflected "La Musique Que J'aime." Not a bad show, overall, and definitely not a bad performance from the French singer.
