JMJarre. Concert in Riga
My terrible video from your phone, as Jean Michel Jarre played an encore for the Riga public.
This is his Oxygene tour, concert in Riga on 23 November. 2-nd track begins at 5:24 (time in the video). Quality, forgive, not really, but Jarre simply annealed in their old synths.
By the way, before the concert he had already apologized to the public for the possible lining, because this is a very old machines, it is. as he said - "as Stradivarius Violin." Indeed, He brought with him to Riga, the very same tools, which was recorded and the album Oxygene in 1976. On stage there were no computers, and all we heard was produced manually. Linings have arisen.
Jarre rushed to the scene now and then with one hand twisting knobs, and the other playing on the keyboard.
In the middle of the action from above dropped a huge mirror, which were placed at an angle of 45 degrees to the stage to the audience saw the "top view" of how the Jarre on stage.
I counted 10 keyboards. How many synthesizers themselves - is hard to say.
He was assisted by 3 other people - his old associates.
The concert played the entire album Oxygene, plus another track from his "sequel" Oxygene 7-13. Well, to the great delight of the audience are 2 things encore.
Jarre has learned two words in Latvian: Labvakar ("good evening", lat.) Paldies ("thank you", lat.) And repeated the last time after time.
He promised to try to come next year, "but without the snow," and then we had a terrible snow and blizzard.
