Blah Blah Cafe, the Jean-Michel Jarre forum

[Kanta]

I guess I have been very lucky for what has happened to me. All my Christmases and Birthdays seemed to have come all at once.

Btw, does anyone like my photos? I adore them. Jean Michel is such a good object to photograph.

[jp8000]

the pictures are nice, also the pictures taken from outside, the RAH is beautiful building

[Kanta]

Thanxs jp. RAH is a very old building and has a lot of history behind it:

Now, Jean Michel will be part of that.

[Jakob BC]

Hmm the RAH looks familiar

[Kanta]

Yeah, you must have seen it Jakob when you last visited England. Not so long ago, if I remember correctly,

[AnDrOiD]

I must not be much of a fan then, cos after the concert tonight, I'm heading straight home.

Your not even gonna try?

Nope. Even though I only got 15 minutes of transport to the venue, no. Famous people are not special to me, they're just human beings like you and me. It's 100% all about the music for me.

[Kanta]

I am not into famous people. I don't think of Jean Michel that way. All the glitz and glamor is not for me. Jean Michel is very different. Yes, he is famous but his music takes over everything. When I saw him, I did not even think of his world wide fame. I thought of his beautiful music.

[AnDrOiD]

I thought of his beautiful "music".

[Kanta]

Someone shouted at JMJ when he was leaving RAH, "We want a new album." He didn't say anything and smiled. It's hard reading into a lovely smile. Is that a yes smile or a no smile?

[Jakob BC]

Yeah, you must have seen it Jakob when you last visited England. Not so long ago, if I remember correctly,

Yes I was in London last summer, so I cannot have missed it

@Kanta...

If Jarre got in the Minibus....Who the hell was the White Limo for???we guessed the Minbus was for the Crew and the Limo for JMJ/Management

as we were leaving the car park the Limo flew across the Lights where we were...we were gonna follow it,as we thought it may have been Jarre,to see where he was staying...

Real Nice show

Jean Michel was very relaxed throughout,
when the chain broke free at the begining he said "We havent started yet" this got a laugh from the crowd.

Jean Michel's playing was superb throughut, i was a bit worried he might make a few slips,
but Oxygene 2 made me relax

Too many highlights to mention ... including the solo on Oxygene 5 ... ACE

Nice of Jean Micel to mention Arthur C Clarke at the beginning, and dedicate Oxygene 13 to veryone and their loved ones.
Lots of wolf whistles and cheering throughout.
The whole stalls stood up to cheer after Oxygene6.

A wonderful night with warm gentle weather. Our hotel was only 15 minutes walk away from the RAH.
Saw Brian May with his friend entering through door 9 which is by the main merchandise stand

Thank you Jean Michel, Claude, Dominique, Franics for a wonderful night.

Hope you all had a great time

@Equinoxe: The limo must have been for other VIP's e.g, Anne or David. Even a decoy. Just imaging a car chase, now. Would have been fun as long as no one got hurt.

[jarrekid]

We saw a KB lorry (VERY similar to the one outside the RAH) around Hounslow while driving back. We also saw the white tour bus (we guess) going for the RAH while walking back to the tube.


lol at that Guardian review, they don't understand ANYTHING in their reviews, I read a review of one of Autechre shows and that got 1 star when it deserved at least 4.

"Intimate" was said as a JOKE. Obviously the writers at the Guardian have no sense of humour whatsoever.

Starship Enterprise? Not Jarre's fault there, blame Robert Moog or Peter Zinoviev.

Can and Faust are more influential? Er, yeah... Faust were really successful weren't they? A load of drunk Kraut-rockers screwing around on "normal" instruments...

[Pat Gleeson]

well pat, when we was on the tour, of the royal albert before we went it to rehearsals the tour guide lady said the two trucks outside where here because they were filming the concert. but when we were in the hall there were no cameras. very strange

Strange alright, I was at Marigny on the 13th December (the night all official video recordings are taken from), and not one camera did I see - and I was looking
