Johnny’s return does not really convince and his popularity marks the plunge. His sales of discs strongly falls and he sometimes occurs in rooms that do not always appear complete ^{[ 42 ]} , while, in early 1966, on the waves of singer Antoine at the bend of a verse of his song The rantings proposes to enclose it in “a cage in Medrano” … Hallyday’s reply does not take long and its reconquest of success begins with the song Long hair and short ideas which makes an equal game with the success of Antoine.

Despite the originality and the ambition of the project, the “Johnny Circus” is a relative failure and a financial abyss for Johnny Hallyday. Lucid he recognizes: “Sixty trucks on the roads, 114 people to pay each evening, too many costs, too many staff, for all these reasons, the case has left no profit. But I don’t regret anything … ” ^{[ sixty seven ]} .
The losses are such that the singer cannot put together new Parisian shows for several years ^{[ 68 ]} .

Of September 14 At 11 November , Johnny Hallyday presents at the Palais des Sports de Paris her new show Fantasmhallyday , on a futuristic and apocalyptic theme. This show is one of the greatest shows never made in Europe ^{[ 111 ]} . Directed by Jean Renard and for the first time produced by Jean-Claude Camus in association with Gilbert Coullier, the show requires each evening the implementation of 80 people, technicians, stuntmen, musicians, plus a few (dogs). At the opening, a smoke screen, a voice that announces: “During the night of the two moons, a single man returns from the domain of shadows, this man is the survivor, for the last time, he will live for you his fantasies” . The smoke dissipates, while a few beggars enter this strange world that is the scene, at the bottom a mountain pivotes and reveals the orchestra, while Hallyday appears the survivor. First assault, he lifted an arm and assaulting him ignites. He sings Fantasies , Then The Grand Banquet (two unpublished titles at the opening); chain with Voodoo calf And The fear , before disappearing, giving way to a giant screen for the screening of a video-video. On the program: chaos and violence everywhere, no country is spared, nuclear mushroom, survivor, meeting with vampirella while zombis threats … Back on stage (accompanied by Vampirella), he sings The survivor , We will have to talk about love one day (Pacific ode that Johnny will dedicate to Nathalie Baye on the evening of the last). The song Travel to the land of living Previously precedes the confrontation with the zombies: on the scene fights by the ax (where the disaster was bloomed during a performance, a stuntman missing his blow, did not miss Johnny and struck him in the hip) ^{[ Note 31 ]} , while (dogs-) wolves rush on Vampirella and take his body.

For this first part, Johnny Hallyday dared a singing tour almost new, (eight titles out of ten). For the first time the video is used in a musical show not to imagine music, but as a vector for narration. A few songs later, new interruption of the singing tour, which for almost five minutes gave way to a succession of waterfalls. For this show, (which required much longer preparation and rehearsals than usual), the artist innovates and breaks once again the codes of the traditional song tour ^{[ Cit. 2 ]} . In the second part, Hallyday offers a more familiar recital, including a large number of standards: Shots , Until midnight , I am alone , The penitentiary , Oh !

HALYTAY AU CANNITH 1984-1985 [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

From the October 25, 1984 and until February 2, 1985 , Johnny Hallyday settles for three months at the Zenith in Paris (a programming period never seen in Europe) ^{[ 114 ]} . The show produced by Jean-Claude Camus and Gilbert Coullier, is staged by Hilton McConnico (decorator on films Diva And The moon in the channel by Jean-Jacques Beineix and specialist in Broadway reviews) ^{[ 115 ]} .

On October 24, released the double live album Johnny hatyday au zenith , or the day before the first! The cost of production is such that all finances are in red. It is then decided to anticipate events and this is how the singing tour is recorded during rehearsals. Between the titles (20 in total), applause is added. This album of October 24 is therefore a “false live” ^{[ 116 ]} “!

Because of EDF strikes (which disturbed the last rehearsals), the first of the show is postponed by a day and it is therefore Friday October 26 , that kicks off the show. At the opening, a fist of five by fifteen, articulated by two hundred hydraulic cylinders, advances from the bottom of the scene to finally rotate and open above the front rows ^{[ Note 33 ]} , revealing in the heart of the hand Hallyday who sings Heart fist . This unpublished kicks off a two and a half hour song in 28 songs. Once again, Jacques Rouveyrollis is the project manager, or 4000 projectors for 4 million watts consumed at each performance (the security services have prohibited to light the whole more than thirty minutes; the whole is programmed by computer) ^{[ 117 ]} . Dancers, stuntmen, a whip fight on Excuse me partner , a guillotine (at the end of the first part), in the final of Do not kill freedom ^{[ Note 34 ]} “, under which the artist’s head falls (the action takes place in Chinese shadow), are some of the highlights of a very rock recital which gives pride of place to the last two albums Between violence and violin And Funny job . Despite his gigantism, the show does not neglect neither humor (during a brawl, Hallyday gives his opponent a hand and hurts himself, (…), it is a frail dancer who rid of a colossus), nor the moments of emotions I forgot to live (for the first time on the program of a Parisian show), the ballad I would still like to be able to suffer like that , or above all the resumption of Jacques Brel’s classic Do not leave me .

The November 12th , Philips releases a new version of the Live Johnny Hallyday at the Zénith, which this time restores the performance truly recorded live. Nothing distinguishes these two albums – which are only one – the pockets, the references, the titles are identical ^{[ Note 35 ]} .

On Sunday December 23 , Johnny completes the first stage of his marathon at the Zenith. That evening, thousands of candles are distributed to spectators, to which it is asked to light them during the interpretation of Do not leave me , while musicians push a Christmas tree on the stage. The singer, in no way warned, fails to hide his emotion and interrupts the song for a few moments ^{[ 118 ]} . Getting a break during the holiday season, the “second act” of the show is played on Friday January 4, 1985 .

Johnny Hallyday resumes his performances at the zenith January 4, 1985 . It is during this period of an extraordinary cold winter that many questions arise on the relevance of such a long program! The Orsec plan is activated in the capital, several thousand people are without electricity (the January 7 ), (…), the attendance of theaters and performance halls can be reduced by half and the show of Johnny Hallyday is no exception to the rule. Unlike his two previous Parisian shows (1979-1982), he did not play closed counters and certain evenings, he sings in a two-thirds room. Besides, obviously, a singing tour over such a duration, even for Hallyday, it turns out to be a challenge! The two previous shows attracted 200 to 250 thousand spectators – they are this time again, but the number of performances have denied them in time – and it would take much more to fill the zenith for three months. The bet turns out to be too ambitious and ultimately impossible to achieve ^{[ 119 ]} . Since October 26 , Johnny Hallyday has already given sixty-three performances of a two and a half hour show, (some) two hundred hours of stage ^{[ 120 ]} , and in his entourage, we are concerned about the physical condition of the singer who turns out to be exhausted, but refuses, despite the medical recommendations, to capitulate. Tuesday January 8 A few minutes from the end of the performance, when it has just started The good time of rock and roll , Hallyday collapses on stage victim of a syncope. The show is interrupted is the emergency hospital singer at the American hospital in Neuilly. He stayed there until 12 and is forced to interrupt the spectacle until January 30 ^{[ 121 ]} .

On the 31st, Johnny Hallyday went on stage for the last three performances. The last one, the February 2 , is broadcast live on RTL. Johnny sings in duet with Eddy Mitchell be bop a lulla and with Sheila My little wolf (it’s going to hurt) . This show at the forefront of technologies, combining gigantism and baroque, remains the biggest production and the most “big machinery” ever implemented by Johnny Hallyday.

The February 16 , Hallyday begins a two -month tour through France. It occurs in particular in the spring of Bourges, the first ^is And April 2 In the company of Eddy Mitchell, with whom he interprets several duos.

The September 13 Mark the return of Johnny Hallyday on stage after his second hip operation June 7 . He sings in Neufchâtel-en-Bray ^{[ 122 ]} . Johnny Hallyday is accompanied by a new formation of musicians, including: Patrick Bourgoin (saxophone and flute crossing), Yves Sanna (drums), Bernard Paganotti (bass) and Hugo Ripoll (guitar), (…) and (the always faithful) , Érick Bamy with choirs.

Two days later, Johnny sings at the Fête de l’Humanité ^{[ 123 ]} . Seven of the twenty songs interpreted are extracted from the album Rock’n’Roll Attitude . His participation in the feast of humanity is accompanied by a controversy in the media. During the recital, Johnny Hallyday addressing the public declares: “To put things in their place, I would like to tell you that I am very happy to be here with you at the Feast of Humanity, because above all It’s a celebration… of the French ”!

1986: The year has marked the very first time since its inception, where the singer does not make a stage, with the exception of two friendly participations; In April, with Michel Berger and November with Jean-Jacques Goldman, both in concerts.

Johnny Hallyday is accompanied on stage by a training of seven musicians, (including Norbert Krief and Hugo Rippol on guitars), three American choristers and Erick Bamy. An exception is made for The music I like , for which the singer is accompanied by the big band of Jean-Pierre Aupert, who for the occasion brings together various musicians, who with the trumpet, who with the trombone, who in the saxophone, once played with Hallyday. Johnny is present on stage from the “kick -off”: after the “curtain raising”, the singer, standing, plays the piano the musical introduction “Jerry Lee Lewis” (wink to the song of France Gall He played piano standing ), before seizing the microphone for Rock’n’roll attitude , first song of a recital which has twenty-two.
