I got some good pics, by my standards! Hope this works...

W. O. W.!

Thanks for sharing these - super stuff

Been to his Indoors concert last year at the HMH in The Netherlands.
Your description and photographs bring back good memories Alex.
It's live music that works best for me while seated.

Thanks ALex - fantastic stuff. Lurve the Equinoxe backdrop thang.
Hope there will be a DVD I can put on my wish list.
What was the live interwebby thing last night all about? - I missed it, of course.

Cheers Martin!

Visually it was very impressive, starting out as something quite stark and gradually building. Typically Jarre!

I didn't see the tour last year, but from what he said in a recent interview, this was a progression from that tour.

It really was analogue heaven!

Thanks Alex S! After seeing those pics I also want to hear & see Jarre live.

Well there are plenty of dates in France coming up and one in Rotterdam if you have the time and money!
JMJ tour dates

His London gig at the O2 was streamed live from a stage perspective last night... just investigating an audio rip of it.

After a career that has almost spanned over 30 years, it's strange to realise that this is his first world tour. His previous indoor tours have just been around Europe. And, I never thought I would get to see Jarre live once, let alone twice (the other show being the Oxygene tour at the Royal Albert Hall in 2008), so it's quite exciting to see him in this kind of setting putting on this kind of more personal show.

He's also been writing/recording his new album whilst on tour, which given that they're using mostly (if not entirely) vintage gear (the original equipment he recorded Oxygene with), then that should be interesting.

Hugely enjoyable pics of the JMJ gig Alex, thanks for posting. I particularly like the one of the laser harp going up to the roof.

Thanks! I was quite impressed with that one too - not sure how I managed it! At least it does give you an indication of the scale of the laser harp - it is an amazing piece of kit. I want one!!

Makes such a wonderful, deep sound too
