Lenny Kravitz
Lenny Kravitz - Rock And Roll is Dead Live Performance from 1995
In September 1995, Lenny Kravitz performed a live rendition of 'Rock and Roll is Dead' at the Canal+ show, Nulle Part Ailleurs, in Paris. At this point in his career, Kravitz had just released his album 'Circus' in the spring of that year, which showcased his knack for blending rock, funk, and soul influences. 'Circus' marked a transitional phase for him, moving slightly away from the iconic sound that defined 'Let Love Rule' and 'Are You Gonna Go My Way?' The performance in Paris highlighted his electrifying energy and charisma, captivating fans in a vibrant setting. Interestingly, this live appearance came just after he had won a Grammy for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance for 'Again,' reflecting his growing acclaim in the industry. Kravitz's fusion of musical styles mirrored the diverse cultural backdrop of the mid-90s, making him a standout figure in rock music.
