I was being polite. :p: :punch: This is JMJ we speak about.

He will do the world that is why it's called World Arena Tour. :fine: If it was just Europe then it would be called Europe Arena Tour. :p:

Perhaps you should take a look at what the 1997 Oxygene *cough* Tour programme reads on its cover. :P

Would be cool though if he played North Korea - he would be the first western artist to play there. He could then release CONCERTS IN NORTHKOREA w/ tracks like NIGHT IN PYONGYANG and NUKE EXPRESS :peacemaan:

One more thought to this.
Jarre has committed a bad step being less respected by touring Oxygene Tour in arenas. It just a good thing he didn't tour Oxygene worldwide.
Cause what can public see? China, Houston, Paris...Oxygene Tour 1997
Compared to this, he brought a bited Oxygene skull with bad sound system and a minimal spectacle. Rightfully, wider audience would ask themselves: "why should i pay again for his concert, when lately he delivered a minimal performance"?

Minimal when compared to what exactly?
Jarre concerts attended - Destination Docklands 1988 - Paris La Defense 1990 - Europe In Concert 1993 (Manchester & London) - Oxygene Tour 1997 (Birmingham)

The spectacle (light, etc.) all together.

I dont think Jarre had any plans to do a huge laser light show. Those concerts were mainly for concentrating on the live performance than anything else. This up and coming tour is differant, so he says.

I can't believe I read that either. In fact I'd say quite the opposite. The last series of concerts was a musical and artistic tour-de-force for JMJ. Not since CiC has he shown such musical prowess. The mis-en-scene was more restrained than his outdoor extravaganzas, but wonderful nonetheless and entirely appropiate.

Anyone I spoke to - Jarre fans or not - were impressed with what was performed.
An expanded repetoire with a more extravagant stage setup is the logical extension of this, given JMJ's musical sensibities of late.

The promotion (or lack thereof) sadly doesn't match this - woeful.

Paris la Defense 1990

Are you serious? Or is this a bad trolling attempt? Are you pulling a Kubrick? All of the aforementioned?

It's like saying in 1984: "oh, the last time Jarre used analogue synths, I probably won't buy Zoolook".
Or:
"oh, the last JMJ album sold one copy, I probably won't buy Zoolook."
