Since docklands is by far my favorite concert, I cannot tell you how badly i want these slides. I want some of these more than i want my legs (slight over exaggeration )

That's mostly because 1) Mike Mansfield did a really lousy job on the editing and 2) lot of cameras broke down because of the rain.

There are some pictures which show the visuals of the concerts. Really stunning.

I know about the broken camera's and I don't blame them for any of that... But it's the same with the Lyon, Europe in Concert, Houston tapes... There all just barely an hour, and you can't be serious that with all concerts the camera's had broken down
It's just the editing that annoy's me, there is just way to much cut

Hi!
My two pennies worth here, Jarre concerts which were released on VHS (houston, lyon, docklands in particular) were specifically edited down to only 50 minutes or so to sell on to the TV networks, so when the ad breaks where inserted you had a 1 hour tv show. Said to say, but the priority back then was TV money and not the fans.
As for China and La Defense, again, by the time you insert the ad breaks you get a round 1 hour 30 minute Tvshow.
