Screening of the restored concert film from George Michael's 1988 Faith tour, performed at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy.
George Michael: The Faith Tour comes to the Stephen Joseph Theatre on Friday 13 November, with a matinee and an evening show following on Saturday 14 November. It's not a live gig, but a restored concert film, and it's one that takes a fair bit of digging to get to.
The footage comes from George Michael's 1988 performance at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy, during the record-breaking Faith tour. For years, much of it sat unseen and unheard on 35mm film, and this version has been assembled from that rediscovered material. It catches him at the height of his creative power, right in the middle of the tour that defined that era of his career.
Because it's a film and not a live act, you're seeing a specific moment in time rather than a current tour. The 35mm source gives it a look and a feel that a standard DVD or digital rip wouldn't have, and since it's a restored cut, it's as close as you'll get to being in that Paris crowd back in '88. It's a good one for anyone who knows the Faith records but hasn't seen how they translated to the stage.
