The Main Stage Of Le Parc Des Princes In CD/DVD

The history began in 1981 when two childhood friends who grew up together in the English town of Bath, Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal recorded a first disc with the ska band the Graduates.

Shortly afterwards, they founded their own group named Tears For Fears, which name was taken from the teachings of Arthur Janov (whose primal scream theory greatly influenced John Lennon).

In 1983, they released a first album, The Hurting, of which a number of songs got to the top five of British Charts, signalling the start of the post new wave era. This was followed in 1985 by Songs From The Big Chair, which stayed 83 weeks in the American chart and was certified five time platinum disc, two of its singles, Everybody Wants To Rule The World and Shout, got to the number one of the best sales. After a world tour, attracting huge crowds and charitable concerts organised to fight hunger in Africa, then, they came back gloriously with Seeds Of Love records which has been widely talked about again with 8 millions copies sold over the world.

In 1990, the duet split. Curt Smith move towards a solo career as Roland Orzabal continue with the rest of the band, to release in 1993 Elemental and in 1995 Raoul and The Kings Of Spain, the last records released under the name of Tears For Fears.

In april 2005, to the great joy of fans, the cult band released a new cd, Everybody Loves A Happy Ending,. An album which marks the reunion of Curt and Roland, bringing into the 21st century the heritage of Tears For Fears and extending one of the most prodigious collaboration in pop music domain.

Genèse, disparition et résurrection d'un mythe:

DVD du concert enregistré en 2005

au printemps 2005, plus de 10 ans après leur séparation, Tears for Fears se reformait pour l'album Everybody loves a Happy Ending, et pour un concert exceptionnel à Paris organisé par la radio Europe 2. Comme le laissait présager le titre de ce nouvel album, ce come-back inattendu avait tout d'une "Happy End".

Les fans de Tears for Fears ne les ont pas oubliés et répondent présents : l'album se place à sa sortie à la 28e place du top albums (et approche désormais les 70 000 exemplaires vendus) et 35 000 personnes assistent le 18 juin dernier au concert du Parc des Princes.

Aujourd'hui sort Secret World, le CD/DVD de ce concert évènement en exclusivité pour la France. Cet album s?annonce comme un événement majeur de la scène pop rock tant par sa qualité que par son unicité, puisqu'il s'agit du premier CD live de Tears For Fears et de leur deuxième DVD !
