It seems the diagnosis is fatal with no chance of recovery? I can't imagine what it must feel like... Being told you don't have much to live. I'm not quite sure what to say in this case. Makes you realize how slowly but surely we are all heading in the same direction, but it's all about the journey....

I see the Tokyo concert still gets a mention. Really strange how that got stuck in the historical record and never got fully corrected. Wasn't it the 'twin concert' for Destination Docklands but for some reason - what? - didn't happen? Hence Tokyo Kid and London Kid on the same album. I did a quick...

Great moment! Great period! Thanks Dr Jones for this link. Very dynamic and make me nostalgic. I still have the original laser disc that I recorded on DVD before selling my player. For the sound, it is really good but it is true that the capture of the audience is very present. But it's really an a...

It's one of his stronger tracks for sure. It's a bit like "Together we Thrive", he composed a beautiful piece that echoes WFC. Yet it's just a one off type of thing. He does the project and moves on.

While I personally have not interacted with the man, the mental struggles are all too familiar and can be absolutely devastating to one's life. It's good to see he was appreciated in the community and there's nothing but kind words. As I understand, we are all here thanks to him as his contribution ...

Or maybe, who knows, the Betamax version is a completely different edit that's not available on YT or anywhere (haven't checked) ;) Indeed, it's a special secret Betamax that wasn't made for public release, edited to show a new perspective of the concert showing actual buildings with projections an...

I hope you don't wait too long... it might start to degrade.

I was scrolling through a few releases and noticed that there was a betamax tape... But nobody seems to own it. Betamax had a reputation to provide slightly higher quality. I wonder how it would compare to a VHS . Not that there would be a significant difference, but probably still some difference n...

This version was upscaled from a low resolution video found in INA archives. It was clearly made from the best pre-VHS source, something that would have been used for an official DVD or a broadcast. Sadly I never had access to original Hi-Res videos. The AI did a decent job , some closeup shots are ...

Once again hoping yt won't start rigorously blocking it all over the world. It's the most time consuming video I had built a while ago... Mixed from various audio sources to make the soundtrack nicer. Nothing is cut this time, Jarre's speeches and the dancers are there (I got some complaints for rem...

I asked my friend, he says greetings to japanese people, and at the end - "Europe 2" or (Europe Deux).

If I remember correctly, there was also an ad in russian. Perhaps it was simulcast to several countries at once. I always assumed the recordings we got came from the french radio though...

There are these pictures... He must've been nearby ? The articles say that he appeared on Radio Luxemburg shortly after the auction... So what type of record did they use on the radio then? Or did he bring a torch to the station as well ? :D My vivid imagination has Jarre standing over the radio sta...

We all know that the copies floating around are from the Radio Luxembourg broadcast - "pirate me!" - but did nobody think to record a copy by attending the exhibition with a tape recorder in their pocket? 😊 Had Amazonia not been released, I know I'd have attended one of the Sebastian Salg...

Another interesting piece of info found from this thread . So it was "a nice guy who was into buying and selling houses". Danielle Feuillerat however claims he was not known.... Also the album was "a demo for zoolook." https://zoolook.nl/forum/viewtopic.php?p=208856&hilit=sup...
