Unless that track was just played over the top of the VT by the news network from a library file?

Nope, it's a different version. RV4 also sounds different.

Jean-Michel Jarre - VERSAILLES 400 - TRAILER

"The performance will take place with a very limited number of guests live, and simultaneously in virtual reality on VR platform VRROOM at 20h CET Christmas Night, 25th December. The show will be broadcast on French TV on W9 & French Radio RTL RADIO same night at 23.10 CET, followed closely with a Youtube stream (worldwide except for France)."

So it looks like it will be at 20:00 CET for the VR thing, and YouTube broadcast after 23:00 CET

A (slightly) different version of Industrial Revolution? Well that’s piqued my interest somewhat.

Yes, it seems have an electric guitar (doubles the synth brass sound in the early part and provides power chords later on). Also RV4 sounds different.

Some Tomita vibes in the first track of the video

the first piece is a cover of Marche pour la ceremonie des Turcs, by Jean-baptiste Lully.
Who was a composer for Louis XIV, at Versailles.

It would be neat if the tracklist included something from Chronologie, a link back to JMJ's previous live show at Versaille in September 1993. Chronologie 1 or 7 could be a good fit with the Hall of Mirrors setting?

Info I received from Sony Music: The TV broadcast will be offered via the EBU also for 30 days after the event to European TV channels who are interested to show it. So, check out if it will appear somewhere in this period. I'm afraid in Germany no TV station will be interested, as always...
