Status Quo's album "Pictures" (released in November 2008) celebrated 40 years of Status Quo filling the UK charts with hit after hit. The album was an instant success, charting at No.8 and selling over a quarter of a million copies in the UK alone. In July 2009 the Pictures live tour landed at Montreux in Switzerland as part of the world famous festival.

In 2003, the band made their first appearance at the Montreux Festival, despite having a long association with the town itself (they recorded there frequently in the 70s). It was a triumphant night and is regarded by both the band members and fans as probably the finest Yes gig ever to be filmed. The classic line-up includes Jon Anderson, Steve Howe, Chris Squire, Rick Wakeman, and Alan White. Prog-rockers Yes return to the stage in this 2003 performance at the Montreux Festival. Though decades may have passed since the group's heyday in the 1970s, Jon Anderson, Steve Howe, Rick Wakeman, Chris Squire, and Alan White have lost none of their edge. Laying into deep cuts like "Siberian Khatru," "Long Distance Runaround," and "I've Seen All Good People," this group of grizzled legends delivers a smoldering rock performance.

Phil Collins has made a number of appearances at Montreux over the years as a solo artist, with his big band or as a guest performer with the likes of Eric Clapton and Quincy Jones. In this performance filmed at the 2004 festival, he performs all of his best known hits from his solo career. Bonus footage of a performance by the Phil Collins Big Band at Montreux from 1996 is also included. This is the first time any of Phil's big band material has been made available and features Tony Bennett on a track. This combination of all his classic songs coupled with rare big band material shows the breadth of musical genres Phil has covered in his career and makes a perfect celebration of Phil's association with Montreux.

She's back in all her glory, much to our delight. Marie-Thérèse Porchet dances, sings, and talks about the highlights of 2023. She is accompanied by the troupe from La Revue de Lausanne, Yann Lambiel, FORMA, and Nathanael Rochat. Behind-the-scenes glimpses of RTS add spice to this festive show. She might not recognize anyone! Her last appearance on an RTS New Year's Eve show was in 2012.

The crisis is the crisis, it's because of the crisis! Marie-Thérèse can't take the crisis anymore! Until one day she realizes that a show is a business like any other, and she decides, like some unscrupulous employers, to use the crisis to increase her profits. She plans to reduce the number of technicians, have her costumes made in Eastern Europe, lay off some musicians and replace them with cheaper ones, or even recorded tracks. Inevitably, a serious labor dispute breaks out in the middle of the show between Madame Porchet and her staff, who decide to go on strike and hold their boss hostage! Marie-Thérèse must therefore face all the problems of a business leader and, through difficult negotiations, she will try everything to get the show to its conclusion.
