Lavoie and Garou at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy  

TV Show "Garou à Bercy" (TF1- April 2002)
With Daniel Lavoie and Patrick Fiori.
 

Presenter: It's a lovely surprise, we were not expecting it!
Daniel Lavoie: It's a lovely surprise for us too.
Presenter: How come?
Daniel Lavoie : Well!

Presenter: Daniel Lavoie, Patrick Fiori, its true that I have you here with us. We've all been dreaming that one day, you would come to sing to us that song: "Belle". How long is it since all three of you sang that song on stage?
Daniel Lavoie : It's the first time we've sung it apart from Notre Dame.
Patrick Fiori: I've sung it in concert , but it's not the same.

Daniel Lavoie: But the three of us, the last time was on TV at least two years ago, it's a long time ago. 

Presenter: Your public was waiting…
Daniel Lavoie: I don't know, it was a surprise. Listen, I had learnt this week then, that the public were not waiting for us (laugh). 

Presenter: But they’ve been waiting faithfully in the hall, word has got about … what does that make it? It's like a flashback that you remember from another era, when you were not as old as now …

Daniel Lavoie: It's incredibly emotional to find the three of us together because it's just like the fantastic experience of Notre Dame, and that title, among the others, was so big. And good, we've found ourselves all three together, my pal (he hugs Fiori) it's still as good!

Presenter: Garou, you knew it …
Patrick Fiori: Too little!
Daniel Lavoie: He arrived from Sherbrooke, he didn't know Paris. 

Presenter: To be part of a company like that, how was Garou?
Daniel Lavoie: Breathtaking! Impossible to keep up with Garou! 

Presenter: Keep up with on stage, or outside …?
Daniel Lavoie: Everywhere … Garou has the energy of 8 or 10 people. It's impossible to keep up with him, but yes, I could keep up part of the time, but it was impossible to keep up with him every day. 

Presenter: He's a good friend?
Daniel Lavoie: Yes, fantastic…
Patrick Fiori: He's a loyal friend. 

Presenter: Is he easy to work with?
Daniel Lavoie: He's a true professional. One knew completely that it was only a question of time for him to be in Bercy, for example. 

Presenter: Surprise?
Daniel Lavoie: Not at all a surprise, quite the opposite!

Comment: "The hall stood up as one. It was good to see it, and after two years, wonderful to find we three again to sing this song which has been so good for us."
