I would like to see a band again but why not look on the bright side instead of being disappointed because JMJ don't need 5 bandmembers. I remember something about "it is not neccesary anymore with so many musicians due to newer technology". Things are changing whether you like it or not.Antigoon wrote:JMJ doesn't need that?Synthesist wrote:Exactly. Never expect a band like 10 years ago.

But it is better than nothing
It's a little sad, but I don't think JMJ will go back in time, we can just think back on those days. Maybe it will just make those concerts even more unique
You are so wrong.
I'm with Jones on this one, no live band no Antigoon. I've seen over a dozen JMJ concerts, all with band like it's suppossed to.
If I wanna hear a CD I'll just use the one at home...
Since when is playback a new technology? Hasn't this been around from the moment TOTP started?I would like to see a band again but why not look on the bright side instead of being disappointed because JMJ don't need 5 bandmembers.

I actually think it has something to do about using computers and sequencers on stage, but I can't say more as I hardly remember it. Besides that, JMJ didn't want to use a live drummer and he didn't like being another 'pop' band. It was something about that. Someone in here should know it precisely.Antigoon wrote:Since when is playback a new technology?

I fail to see the point in traveling to the middle of nowhere to watch a guy mime on stage, that's a waste of money IMO.
IMO it's as boring as watching a stuntman driving very carefully around a fire....
I think many of us in here can agree on that.Finaero wrote:I don't really care if it's necessary or not in his opinion, I still prefer the band

You will have tons of tv broadcasts with 200 thousand bonus angles and whatever on dvd anyway..fbazo wrote:By the way, i really think this concert will be delayed or cancelled. Is just a funny feeling i have right now.. uhm.. maybe i can see the future..
Yep - I prefer to see that too. This 'sequenced' 'miming' thing gets on my tits to the point that I can't even be bothered to attend a Jarre concert anymore, I still like the music though. IMO they only need a cardboard cut out of Jarre and a CD of his latest album.moviemaker wrote:I have always loved the "Original" Concert in China. Wasn't that like 3 or 4 keyboard players??? Maybe it will be something like that. How about Place De La Concorde. Again wasn't that just Jarre and Michel Geiss?
:~D

Francis Rimbert was also on stage at the AERO concert. In the later shows and concerts after the reease of the Aero album, Clause Sammard did also play guitar and keys on stage.Adam1138 wrote:There wasn't a band at Aero,apart from Safri Duo,& although I've never seen footage from it,I loved the music,& IMO the best live version of Chronologie 6.
I wont be able to go,because of work,& I my computer can't handle large amounts of video,but do you think the audio will be broadcast on internet radio?
I know he has moved on from the band on stage,but I really would like to hear something different to the Aero style versions like those at Gdansk & the Forbidden city,and of cousre,a taster of the new album.
