It's been a long time we've not seen the other musicians play…

Chronologie 2

I guess I'm the only one not impressed by this performance? This is the same show he's been putting on for years- we've seen and heard it all before.

Nope. You are not the only one, at all.

Who did play the lead of Chrono 4? Or Mr. hard disc?

Shame about the edits. And makes me even more peeved that Chronologie 4 just had to be dropped when the tour reached Finland in late 2011...

... but yeah, this tracklisting's already as old as the Aero era one (2002-2006), wish he'd start reshuffling things soon. Or actually to be absolutely honest, the only track I want to see revisited is Ethnicolor.

Jerome. (Or if he pressed the "play button" )

I like what I see except maybe for the constant cymbal smashing. You can always discuss the playlist but right now it is what it is. It doesn't sound exactly as on the studio albums and it shouldn't. I would like to see a new Second Rendez Vous or at least a remake.

Thanks for sharing.

No, I `m also not so impressed . For me It was a good concert, but the same "old thing". Nothing Special.
But It was good to see him playing with this Position of the camera ( and I thought: what about his hair ? He forgot to color the approaches of hair? Maybe they go out or broken ? )

And I wonder where the public was. Outside ?
The pattern on the ice were nice, but nothing special. Something I've seen at a German television show. Not for his future shows, unless the area in front of the stage remains empty. One could interpret the music even more with the excellent Russian figure skaters. This looked half-heartedly.

But for me it´s ok. He should not Play new tracks or Show new visual designs before he release his new Album and go on tour for himself.

Both inside and outside.

indeed unless the vandalistic edits the new music edits are more energetic and dynamic

What's the point? Whatever he does now will never top the Lyon arrangement

Given the attention Zoolook is receiving these days, revisiting Ethnicolor might even be very hypothetically possible... Here's hoping!

What it must be like to have so much money you can get any iconic artist to throw you a private concert.

But the 30 min edit was watchable but nothing new for fans as it was the same old same old trusted Jarre formula. But then this is a private gig and keeping an income coming in for JMJ.

To play in this kind of atmosphere is truly great for JM and the team.
