Background

edit

The video originally consisted of highlights from Amanda's 1979 concert in Hamburg, Germany, filmed during her heyday as a disco singer and directed by Denis Taranto. The 30-minute material was released in 1980 with different covers as Amanda Lear Live and Live in Concert and featured mostly tracks from albums I Am a Photograph, Sweet Revenge and Never Trust a Pretty Face. Approximately half of the concert repertoire uses lip-synching.

In 2008, an expanded version of the video was released on DVD, including more songs, with the live material interspersed with clips from rehearsals. Behind-the-scenes footage is also included where Amanda is seen talking in French, Italian, English and occasionally German. Her husband, Alain-Philippe Malagnac d'Argens de Villèle, whom the singer had married just months before filming, also features in the video. In addition, on the 2008 DVD release a 1978 French interview was included.
