There's many elements in a concert that you may have liked, or what you may like to see in the future. Think about the fireworks display, or JMJ using this and that synth, maybe the artistic performance on stage, dance, a band on stage etc, etc...

Express your feelings'n'thoughts here!

Personally, I just watched the 12 dreams concert, and I must say I really liked the actors on stage, wearing masks and walking around randomly, I just very much enjoyed this kind of thing, which I had not really noticed before, except maybe for during the tolerance concert. Maybe JMJ could do more of this kind of things in the future...

Well, there's the elements from his "classic" period:
-Lasers
-Custom instruments
-Excellent use of projections on the concert area (PLD is still quite unbeatable and the projections nowadays are quite assy)
-Synth players, percussionists, etc.

And indeed the masked people/puppets/other interesting gimmicks (PLD, CPLT, 12DotS) are somewhat unique to Jarre and quite cool too.

I really like that he plays on synths and keyboards and not on a banjo (like Mike Oldfield)... :mrgreen: :wink:

Greetzzz...

It's too boring. :roll:

I'd love to see JMJ beg for all his analog stuff back so he could get a band together for a CIC-like tour. :D

- Lot of synths
- Custom synths (Le Meuble and of course the Clavier Circulaire :P)
- Lot of men behind synths (women?)
- Lot of Laser Harp (the CiC one :P)
- Analogs :D (ARP2600, VCS3, Synthi and so on looks cool on a stage)
- and please, the "Mad Scientist" mood and atmosphere it had on Moscow and La Défense concerts :D

I like the idea of the flute, but what he does with it is absolute boring. He just puff some notes, why doesn't he play a real melody with it. Just like the Theremin, it's a very cool instrument, but everything he does with it live make no sense. Why didn't he play the actual Oxygene 10 melody during the Oxygene Tour instead of the 'weeps'. I know it is a difficult instrument to play but with some practise you can play Oxygene 10 melody.
I like it when he uses unusual instruments, even the street organ he uses for 'Band in the Rain'. And the laser harp is his trademark!

We saw him use the windcontroller in Gdansk for other things than the Aero flute, he could use it for Last Rendez-Vous, that track was also on the AERO album.

That's exactly what I thought. Thing is, he plays it live, which would be a little hard for Last Rendez-Vous. Maybe he could do a new version though 8)

someone here mentioned women bewind synths.... LOL, try to get some Robert Palmer feeling? ;-) But still: an good idea anyway!

What I would have loved to see is Jarre, who is always into Ethnics, using a Didgeridoo player on stage
