Jean Michel Jarre – The Making of Water for Life

Everything about Jean Michel Jarre’s concert events is out of the ordinary, whether in challenge, location or scale. When the French musician chose the Sahara desert for a spectacular concert to bring attention to the UNESCO’s Water for Life campaign, it was not so much of a surprise….

With the kind authorisation of Jarre’s management, this authorised book traces the making of the concert at the Erg Chebbi sand dunes in Morocco from project conception through to the stunning concert night itself. Complete with in-depth interviews with members of the production staff, conceptual images, technical drawings and photography from around the concert site spread across over 164 full colour pages, this is a unique must-have book for anyone interested in how these shows are conceived and brought to life.

Produced from within the heart of this Sahara adventure, the concert and behind-the-scenes photographs and projection stills are hand-picked from the concert production archive.

Recollections and interviews included are from Jean Michel Jarre, Concert Producer - Alain Bilowus, Production Director - Rodolphe Lejeune, Technical Manager - Charles Lambing, Video Art Director – Marie-Jeanne Gauthé, Musical Director - Claude Samard, Stage Manager - Roland Bréand, Pyrotechnics Director - Claude Deverois, HD TV Production Manager - Chris Demeulemeester, Musician - Francis Rimbert and Sound Engineer - Philippe Barguirdjian.

Same here. It is a bit expensive indeed, but on the other hand, I was too late ordering the Beijng photobook because I wasn't sure about it. It was a bit expensive too. I regret this cause it's a hard find nowadays...

I removed that quote from the posting because it mentioned SoF members

As if we aren't JMJ fans. Don't want to be a jerk, but this community is more alive, has more posts and more active members than this so-called official forum

I know that, I just removed that from my original post incase people took offence to which site was given the discount

Don't be bothered by it, just buy the book with a discount :mryellow:. The Dutch site has this info too, not just SoF.
