Charles Aznavour

For a 92 year, he is one amazing performer, sang straight for close to 2 hours.

This is a man I have waited years to see and he was terrific. At 92 he is a marvel and still has a strong voice with incredible energy. The whole audience was incredibly happy to be there. He has fans of every age and it was the treat of my life. I regularly attend performances all year long and this was my favorite. Loved him! The audience was so happy to be there. People will be raving about his performance for years to come. What a treasure he is!

We love him ... only thing, it was hard to understand what he was singing, maybe the sound was bad or he is simply getting old. We understood perfectly his granddaughter when she did sing a duo with him.

The show was as amazing as his discography. His voice is as melodious as when I started listening to him as a young man.

Excellent performance, lesson of simplicity, no need for countless background danseurs or artificial effects. I guess that's how a real singer performs, with talent and a voice!

Thank you,living legend!! You are fantastic!!! Happy!!!

fabulous, wonderful. he is amazing. A great experience not to be missed

It has been a week since I had the pleasure and privilege to see legendary Charles Aznavour at the beautiful Greek Theater in Los Angeles, California. I first attended an Aznavour performance in 1968 at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco, California. I also had the opportunity to meet him. Mr. Aznavour was very gracious to me. This experience was a profound and memorable one for a 17 year old. Seeing him again after 46 years I was thrilled and nostalgic at the same time. When he took the stage, I teared as I remembered when I first saw him. As the evening progressed, Mr. Aznavour's voice and stage movements grew stronger and the years began to peel away from him. Charles Aznavour is an iconic performer - a consummate entertainer. With a wave of his hand, nod of his head or a lift of an eyebrow, Aznavour invited me and the audience to experience once again his musical prowess. I feel blessed to once again be in his audience!

Hello ! I am French from Paris I like very much Charles Aznavour and this was the third time that I assisted to his concert its amazing at his age he still the same. The last time I saw him it was in Palais des congress in Paris 2004 and comparing the number of the orchestral team was over 50 persons here in greek theatre I was a litle desapointed by the orchestral team ( only ten persons).

It was unforgettable! He is Amazing!!! Seat was good.

I was happy to see that M. Aznavour was returning to LA. I loved the show! I hope to be half as energetic as he when I'm 90!

Charles Aznavour is the most amazing entertainer. He was funny, had a terriffic voice, wonderful music, and even coped well with the man climbing on stage. He just stated he would have to start again. It is amazing that he is so agile at 90. Thank you Mr. Aznavour for a wonderful Saturday night and a lifetime of music.

I love Charles Zanavour's songs. As I grew up, I listened to his French songs over and over. But the concert was a bit disappointing. I would have loved to hear Mr. Aznavour sing more in French than in English. I understand he came to Hollywood, CA and he is trying to cater to the American people. The reason we love Charles Aznavour is because of his FRENCH songs and not some French songs translated to English

The event started 20 minutes late. You are supposed to start right on time whether enough people are seated or not.

Charles Aznavour was Amazing! He sang for 2hrs and he mesmarized the whole audience. This man is an honor to the human race with his beliefs and his talents. Thank you Monsieur Aznavour!

I didn't know what to expect, having seen Charles four previous times in concert. His being 90 years old, I was amazed at how great he still is. He still has all his moves and still sounds great. I was really glad we got to see him again. Everything was fantastic, the band, back up singers, and staging.

He started off smart - immediately addressing the elephant in the room. Could a 90 year old man still perform? He walked out swiftly and confidently and chose a song that demonstrated his ability. Yes, there were a few glitches, some flat notes, but that was nothing compared to the quality of his voice. Can it still be so smooth and strong? Perhaps not in every song, but so much more than anyone could expect. He chose his biggest hits and most of my favorites; for the rest, I have dozens of his CDs. What a fabulous special evening.

The voice is less powerful of course at age 90 and we mostly went to see the legend. He is still unbelievably fit and even dances on stage. The problem is that half of the songs are in English and diction at this age plus his accent are not good enough to make them understood. Most people were francophones and wanted him to sing in French only. We were sitting behind rude and big people who refused to switch seats. So we almost couldn't see the stage on top of the average quality of performance. I even played a game on my phone...

Weather was hot but not that bad, Charles Aznavour was great for his age which is 90. It was his last concert so I went to see him. His performance was not as before but he did great for his age

Great entertainer even at 90 years old. God bless him and his family.

Although for his age he did a magnificent job, the concert was not worth the amount of money we paid. By the time we had purchased tickets, dinner onsite, drinks and parking, we had spent $500 at the Greek to hear someone struggling to sing.

Still a gentleman, singer and personality! Amazing

Who thought we'd be able to see Aznavour again. What a gift that he's still performing and so engaged with the audience. Very impressive that he stood on stage for the entire two hours and no intermission.

Aznavour was amazing, but the venue lacked quality. There were no staff to direct for sitting. At some point the speakers on the right side were making annoying clicks that lasted about 1/3 of the performance.

he is amazing, he is still great. did not even take a brake. he sang for 2 hours non stop

Brought back such fond memories... Charles sounds amazing at 88, was moved by how open & honest he was. Wish he would sing more of his French songs, the English translation just doesn't sound as beautiful. He was so courteous to say in English what the french song was about. Just loved the whole experience, especially since I shared it w/ good friends. Could not believe I was there after all these years... Wish Charles a long & healthy life, his songs will live on...

His voice was a little weaker at the beginning but grew during the performance. His energy exploded on the stage--and was inspiring to anyone in their 70s or 80s. He danced, talked and it was a memorable evening. He was on stage for a solid 2 hours with no break--amazing! The only negative was the shabby Gibson Amphitheater which is in bad need of refurbishing.

I was so excited to finally have the chance to see Charles in Concert, I had thought I would never get to see him live, as when I bought tickets to see him in Paris, He had canceled the show in 2004. So he finally came to NY in 2009 ! I was floored, we had front row tickets and I was mesmerized. What a legend. No one should miss him in concert, his music transcends all languages. No one can write songs the way he does and no one can sing his songs the way he does. I just am so happy that I will see him again in 2012, back in NYC! Thanks Charles for your career and your music, you touch so many lives and inspire endlessly.

Just STUNNING!!!!! One thing i would like to stressed out a signer that "BIG" there should have been more commercial before the show. I know many many friends who would love to attend this event but none of of was aware of his coming.

Here is what I wrote on my Facebook page: OK, I know some of you are anxious to hear, HOW DID CHARLES AZNAVOUR DO LAST NIGHT AT THE MADISON SQUARE GARDEN THEATER? Well, for a 92 year old without an ounce of fat on his body, and in full command of all of his faculties, absolutely terrific!! From time to time the voice wavered a bit, but think of this. He performed for one hour 50 minutes without a pause, without an intermission, in English, French, and Spanish (he is also fluent in Italian and Russian), with verve, enthusiasm, with a spring in his step, with only one sip of water, and only a few times sitting down. There are 5,500 seats in the theater, and to my eyes, not a one was empty. NOT ONE. And a crowd of all ages, absolutely enthralled. This was a carefully produced presentation, by the way. Mr. Aznavour brought with him a brilliant back up team of six musicians and two back up singers (one of whom is a daughter) from France who understood his music in their souls. And what a body of work it is. He told us over 1,400 songs! There were many he performed that we had never heard before. All beautiful. There were, of course, some old favorites too. Here is one that always brings the house down. The video below is from 1991. Trust me, it was as powerful last night. (And for you folks in Los Angeles, he will be at the Pantages Theater October 28!!)

I am very happy that i attended one of Charles Aznavour's live show! He is my very prefered singer and I really love his voice and his very meaningful songs! Although he is 92, his voice still briliant and it hasn't lost its magic charm.

At 92, Charles Aznavour displays the raw honesty of new performer. He knows he may not perform the same everyday and he may not remember all the lyrics to his songs, but he will put 110 percent into every performance.

At times unbelievable good. Which 92 years old person sings that well remembering all the words, and acting their meaning? At other times uninspired (reading English from teleprompter) and being twice as fast as the orchestra with a cracking voice. It would have been better to keep my good recollection of the concert a few years ago in Paris.

So glad to have been able to see Charles Aznavour live! At 92, he's still amazing!! Thank you for bringing him to NYC!

He is still an top talent and shows what you can do at 92. We should all aim to have this much spirit

I purchased these tickets for my parents and they were amazed at his performance. At 90 years old, he outperformed talented acts half his age. I am glad to facilitate this precious memory for them.

I haven't seen such a talented, charismatic and almost magic performer in a long time. Charles Aznavour is a talent and I'm afraid there're no artists like that anymore. Most wonderful performance.

I have been to many Charles Aznavour concerts, I love his music and he was fantastic at his concert. Amazing that at 90years old he can still sing fabulously, interact with the audience, dance around the stage and enjoy himself giving us much pleasure. We truly enjoyed the concert and would see him again.

Great singer! Great composer! Great performance! Wish him long life.

Charles even in his 90's is better than ever. Looks great, and sounds great. One of the last world famous classical Cabaret singers. Great songs selection, and flowing energy. I grew up in Israel to his songs, and this concert brought me back to these wonderful times. Thanks Charles.

Saw his concert a few years back at City Center and considered it the best concert I'd ever been to bar none. Hesitated buying tickets this time because I didn't want to ruin the great memory I had. So very glad my husband changed my mind! For one, not-so-young, gentleman, Aznavour puts on a terrific show...a great stage presence. His voice faltered ever so slightly during one of the first songs, but got stronger as the show went on. It is so lovely to listen to. The variety of languages and music styles plus his rapport with the audience make for a very entertaining evening. Bravo, Charles! et merci!!

I went to my first Aznavour concert in 1965 and have seen him many times over the years. I was thrilled that he decided to give another performance! At 90, he still gives a great performance. His voice is still wonderful. I couldn't believe that he sang 22 songs and no intermission. Very glad I was there.

One of the most wonderful evenings of music, verse, poignancy, energy! He still has it! Non stop for 2 amazing hours. Fabulous back-up musicians. Just glorious!

Aznavour was a delight in New York, as he has been since 1948. The audience was so excited to see him that they forgot all their manners. Running commentary from the folks behind me. And the folks ahead -- a his and hers demonstration of iPhone recording, for which they were unprepared. Lights and flashes and bright, bright screens. The usher who came to manage a seating problem beside us -- well, let's say that his management of a seating problem in mid-concert was loud and long. Next time I'll spring for orchestra seats. My bad. I do prefer Avery Fisher Hall. Next time, I'll spring for orchest

I regret that didn't have chance to see this concert before, Charles will be unforgettable for me with his beautiful, outstanding voice and manners. I strongly recommend for everyone to see this amazing concert.

I can not believe a 92 year old man is still doing it like he did 20 years ago. Absolutely incredible! I was floored. Charles was amazing!

I never thought that Aznavour would be in such good form. His voice is still superb, even though his movements are a bit limited. The orchestra and back-up singers were often overpowering. Bravo. A quand la prochaine concert a New York???

It was one of the best concert ever, CA gave it all....energizing entertaining....

His voice was wonderful, he still sounds the same. Sexy as every. Loved every song he sang. Dressed in black as always.

My wife and I are in love with the man! Superb performance. His voice was rich and full.

It was an honor to see Charles Aznavour on his farewell tour. His is a unique and rare talent that touches the soul. I have been a fan of his for many years. That his voice is still as pure and beautiful as ever, and his stamina so strong, at the age of 90, is truly astounding. This world will not see a talent like his again, and I am so grateful to have witnessed it twice in my lifetime.

It's hard to believe that the entertainer that we saw on Sept 20th at MSG was 90 years old. I've seen Mr Aznavour perform twice before in New York and he has never been better. I can not think of any other entertainer of any age who could connect more with his audience

I brought with me my brother and sister in law and we all had a great time. I listen to Charles Aznavour's music many times. I watched live concerts at Holmdel in New Jersey, on Broadway and tonight at the MSG Theater. Tonight was magnificent. The presentation was exquisite and complemented the legend's songs in English, in Spanish and absolutely breathtaking in French.

Stupendous performance from a true veteran. Especially at his age!!!

What a thrill to see Charles Aznavour after more than 30 years. It was a wonderful evening. I loved the music, the singing and the stories he told. How this 90 year old danced around the stage is positively miraculous. Bravo!

I cried, I laughed, I sang, I danced... I cried. To think this was CA's final performance in NY is like saying i will never see a loved one again. Mr. Aznavour gave us a generous performance with a "la'niappe", even after an hour and a half of sheer entertainment. He is unique and still "the one for me, for me, formidable!!!" (ONLY WISHED THERE HAD BEEN MORE OF HIS CLASSIC TUNES IN FRENCH)

The man is amazing! No one compares. He has an ageless charisma that's unique. I'm hoping for another "farewell" performance.

Charles Aznavour puts on a fantastic show! Two solid hours with no intermission, and what a showman. He sang in french,Spanish and English explaining what the song was about prior to singing. He never left the stage- no costume changes, no other singers, and the audience loved it. One of the best shows I've ever seen!

Charles Aznavour transcended his years to bring some of our favorite songs to life. From his very special delivery of a song, to the musicians that accompanied him and what seemed like vintage nightclub lighting we had a evening we didn't want to end. He is a rock star of the ages!

I have been attending Charles Aznavour concerts for five decades. I am so grateful to have been able to attend this one. And there are so few actual living legends in our time. He still has the magic. there is no one like him and never will be again. That is the definition of a true artist.

Charles Aznavour is still amazing at 92!!! He is one of the rare artists that has a unique talent which is impossible to imitate. This was a night that I would never forget.

Charles Aznavour has been one of my favorite singers ever since I first heard of him from the Muppet Show!! He still has the charm that I have always known. While he may not act out his songs like he used to and uses the teleprompter, his voice is as strong as ever. He also is able to bounce between French and English seamlessly. I am thrilled to have seen him and hope to see him again.

INCREDIBLE!!! AMAZING!!! REMARKABLE!!! UNFORGETTABLE!!!

It was one of Charles Aznavour's best concerts. I couldn't believe that he's 92 year young. He never sounded better. I really enjoyed the whole concert. I felt very nostalgic about the past. He is the true icon. Truly amazing!!

Amazing concert... at 92!!! wow!! he was on stage for 2 hours non-stop!

Charles Aznavour was fabulous even at 92!!! I'm so glad I went to see him!!!

Great songs and a 92 year old singer that still has genuine charisma. The whole audience was totally enthralled.

Mr. Aznavours' performance was magical to say the least. At 92, his presence on that stage was a message to everyone that with age he is just that much better. He is an inspiration to all.

I was thinking if i ever would had a chance for enjoying Charle Aznavour live in concert. And dreams come true in Hollywood at Pantages theatre.

I was thrilled to see Aznavour perform. I was, however, disappointed that he sung many of his famous French songs in English. Had I known this prior to purchasing $350 worth of tickets, I may have reconsidered.

We enjoyed the show very much. It was amazing to see how a healthy 90 year old could have so much energy. Very inspiring. We love C. A. and listen to he music all the time. It was a real treat to see him live.

At 92 years he is still doing it and doing it well! Outstanding concert experience!

A singer still entertaining people at 92 years of age is just amazing. I saw his farewell concert 12 years ago and it was great back then. Now I am in awe. Charles Aznavour is the ARTIST !!

What a great show! He sang so many of his greatest hits. His stories were fantastic and humorous as well. Only one very surprising part of the concert was that he did no encore or sing one of his most popular songs (Emmenez-moi). The crowd was chanting for this song as well! This would be like Sinatra not singing 'My Way', in my opinion. Other than that, it was great to see this wonderful international legend in concert!

We were a bit concerned about his age, but Aznavour still has his great voice as he demonstrated in the show for almost two hours. And he was very engaging with the audience. Keep bringing this type of performers. I would like to see some Latin American like Juanes, Luis Miguel, Alejandro Filio and Fernando Delgadillo, but I would be super pleased with Maxime Leforestier.

Charles Aznavour was amazing. Charles engaged the audience as soon as he came on the stage. He made some practical jokes too. The man sang for two hours without interruption. He sang in English, French and Spanish. He sang all my favorites: Yesterday when I was Young (in English) La Boheme *(in French & of course tossed his handkerchief into the audience) and he opened with "She" The audience was clapping and shouting Bravo!! all the time. This man is the consummate performer. He is truly the "French Frank Sinatra" Don't miss the chance to see him.

He is a force of nature & his energy is contagious. I loved the duo with Katia & every song in any language he sung in (eng, french, italian, spanish) even if I prefer French because this is the language he composed them in & the language I learned them all in as a kid. I was not a fan of the lights effects which sometimes were directed at & blinding the audience. His voice has definitely changed (less force) & his focus oriented toward aging & nostalgia. But his performance was fantastic. I liked that he did not even bothered to translate from French the words he forgot the English translation for when he was explaining things.

Wow... he was great... voice still sounds the same as when he was 30... can't wait to see him again... don't miss it if you have an opportunity to see him.

He sang mostly in English. I wish he did more in French

Absolutely a most amazing and dynamic performance. Charles Aznavour's voice was the voice of him as a young man: powerful, dynamic, evocative and moving. He sang for two hours and never left the stage, alternating from French, to English, to Italian to Spanish. He was moving, emotionally touching, and mesmerizing. His more than ten member ensemble, including a classical pianist, a fabulous drummer, three great singers, bassist and guitarist, was the best. And the staging, lights, ability to transform the stage from cabaret, to night sky, to flamenco oranges, to steely desolate staging was also fabulous. Each song Azanour sang had a different stage effect. It was more than a Five Star performance. It was a once-in-a-lifetime production with a man who voice reached deep into seventy years of memories and carried us with him into love, loneliness, joy and hope. Simply marvelous! Simply amazing! Simply Azanour!

Despite being 92, he performed for nearly two hours without a break or even a sip of water! His voice is still quite good, and he also dances. He sang in French, English, Spanish and Italian. I only wish certain songs, such as Hier encore, would have been sung in French. Bravo to him!

It has being my dream as long as I remember to go to Charles Aznavour concert. He is just amazing!. There is no words to describe how wonderful his voice is. If you have a chance just go and you won't regret it. .

This show had so much emotion and power. It was the kind of show that provoked tears, joy and laughter all at the same time. This 92 years young eminence sang for an entire 120 minutes, opened and closed his own show, danced and entertained beyond. The energy of this man on stage, just left us all reflecting how a real life is one lived doing what you love. absolutely amazing!

Aznavour is unbelievable! It is hard to believe this man is 92 and able to stand for hours while singing song after song, and remembering these songs in different languages. The voice is not the same, but his music is much more than a voice. My mother introduced me to his music during my teens, and I've loved him ever since.

At the beginning of the concert , Mr. Aznavour told the audience his age (92 years old) and he apologized in advance during his performance that he may miss or forget some lyrics.His performance has exceeded my expectation.A person is blessed to live to see so many changes in the world.

It is incredible that at 92 this man still has all the passion and energy that he did 30 years ago. Imagine he goes straight through - no intermissio and one song right after another. What a performer! His songs are so vivid you feel that you know who he is writing about. I was thrilled that I got to see him once more time. He is a one of a kind!!!

He's amazing, that's crazy to be on stage at 92 years old! Congrats for that. But to be honest, maybe it's time for him to get some rest. Plus, during the show, the light was a disaster. Pointed right on our eyes! We definitely expected something more.

Great Show........................................
