Yes, it was really great for the fans and other listeners from Eastern Europe who like the music of J.M. Jarre to see and hear him on tour, including the two concerts in the Baltic States.
I have written a few words from myself (in my blog at normunds-normunds.blogspot.com) as well as translated a few reviews of what the Latvian press had to say about the concert after the performance, should anyone be interested in this.
I could have wished for more from the Oxygene 7-13 album, as the concert in Riga contained an opening piece, Oxygene I to VI, with some transitions in between, Oxygene XII and XIII, plus an encore of Oxygene IV) but ... less is more.
Cheers.

Interesting that, to Bratislava concert, JMJ went from Paris by flight, other musicians from Prague by flight aswell...How much time they are on the way!
