Well, that was slightly different than the January concerts. First (as stated by Jote), the tracks are seperated. But I've seen some things in the Oxyville I've not seen before (like a lift and a building you can walk into), so it looks like that's been worked on through the months too.
The 2D stream was like a "directed" stream with cameras filming the VR crowd and world, and JMJ's setup being projected like a hologram in this virtual world.

Well, that was slightly different than the January concerts.

Just to add to the list of visual differences:
- This time there were no "empty rooms" (those rooms with no apparent walls / floor / ceiling. In January there were 2 or 3.
- This time there was a concert hall / theater.
- This time there was a kind of spider "spinning reels" in the club, made of a disco ball with "legs".

Overall this was a good time. Although I prefer the tracks without fade-in / fade-out like during the January broadcast, I thought it was OK.

it would be interesting to compare this mix to the mix broadcast in January and to the mix on the album.

I'm 99% sure this mix is simply album playback.

I think too.
At one point, he takes an object in hand to shake it but there doesn't really seem to be any associated "sound" with it.
Too bad also that the streaming is punctuated by micro-cuts.

But it was nice to share this concert with us, made accessible to all.

Yes, I think so too. Especially because of the fade-ins / fade-outs. There might have been a few live effects here and there but that's about it. Nice presentation nonetheless.

There have also been rumors that Jarre will perform for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, something he said he would be “honored” to do. As of yet he has remained silent on specifics, saying simply that “nothing is official.

Ooooh! Exciting!

A return of the "City In Concert" format? If so, which part of the city would be the venue?
Or an Electronica or Azimuth type appearance inside the Olympic Stadium? A shame, if so.
