"Carnets de scène" (Eng: "Memories") is the name of an album recorded by the French artist Patricia Kaas. It was her first live album, and her third album overall.

Background

After the huge success of her first two studio albums, Kaas decided to performed a serie of concerts across the world : the "Scène de vie" tour. There were 210 concerts, 650,000 spectators in 13 countries, including Japan, Canada and the USSR, where she sang in Moscow and Leningrad. It was recorded across two days between May 12 and 19, 1990, at Zénith of Paris (France).

The album contains many songs from "Mademoiselle chante..." and "Scène de vie", plus a few new songs, such as "Lily Marlène". The hits "Mademoiselle chante le blues" and "Quand Jimmy dit" were performed in an extended version.

About 13 years later, the label Sony BMG also published the album as a live DVD.
