Live in Paris is captured a May 2007 concert Lionel Richie gave at Bercy Arena in Paris. Given that this is an arena concert, it shouldn't come as a great surprise that this is a big, splashy production, designed for the eyes as much as it is for the ears. This isn't an especially kinetic live performance -- and his stage patter turns irritating on disc, especially his incessant repetition of "either you're gonna dance on the floor" on the intro to "Dancing on the Ceiling" -- but it's pleasant enough and will be a nice souvenir for those fans who care about a latter-day live performance from Lionel, although they'll like be more satisfied by this show
