Jean Michel Jarre - China concerts - Equinoxe IV

[powersunset]

Ya usaba Lasers cuando aun no se habian inventado........JMJ el amo de los Laser

[TheMacbratek]

awesome

[synthy29]

C'est avec le titre " Equinoxe 4 " de J.M.Jarre en 1978 que j'ai succombé au charme de la musique électronique.

[blapo38]

I might be wrong but I suspect JMJ doesn't have a clue of what he's doing when he turns all those knobs. Great memories of the 80's btw

[DoctorRazzArea4]

pfffffffffft

[d50nut]

Watched this 30 years ago on tv....Just a pleasure to see it again. thanks for posting!

[CristihanJesus]

Sensacional Jean Michel

[Aleco780]

Upon my word for the first time I've seen.

[lucilamunoz]

Es un loco de m... haciendo música salió a su padre, lo máximo

[mtronic]

I need a time machine to travel back time to 80's back at days when space/synth disco was dreaming a future full of laser and neon lights and analog synth pads traveled via satellite to space.

[b00y4kk4]

[maybe2crazy4u]

@Slowriderr. What month? I'd love to see him live! Greetings Slowriderr. When  " Concert in China " came out, I was in Traiskirhen, Austria, in refugee camp, waiting to go to Philadelphia, US. A LOT of memories, hoping to be in Poland this winter, in city of my berth - Wroclaw.

[SynthJocky]

Awsome! This is one of my favourite tracks of his :)

[ricardo1958100able]

La Paz del mundo viene a mi mente ,si vivieramos siempre con estas melodias todo seria distinto.Nuestro padre celestial da los dones y Jean tiene uno de los mas hermosos, lel que apacienta hasta las bestias no pensantes EL HOMBRE.

[mmowoa]

RIP Roger Rizzitelli

[italoboy91]

strepitoso! fantastico! beatiful!

[mikintil]

In mono..too bad

[AVZ230475]

He invited a live drummer for his concert, really???

[GJmusique]

@AVZ230475 yeah. "Bunny" Rizzitelli is his name. Big respect for him drumming in tuxedo ;-)

[safrancbee62]

que de souvenirs......... de tres bons moments de ma vie, a cette epopque , ca fait du bien de reentendre. merci

[Microsloth]

Great collection of classic gear.

Too bad it's only coming out of one speaker...

[polcor82]

The best live version Eq4 :)

[Rockerhead100]

eres el mejor....

you are the best!!!!

[wilhelmudo]

Greatings paku76, it sounds and seems very good in HQ. Good work

Is there someone who know if JMJ is doing something new,

Here in Chile we need his music to help us to save our Glaciers.

[Cubanheadbanger]

a whole new World Tour

[mariusiosif66todea]

I was dreaming in the '80s about how this concert might look..and now it's the first time I see it..!

[paku76]

There is a VHS videotape from this concert, but I don't know how you can find it..

I'll try to upload this vhs to youtube when I have time.

[mariusiosif66todea]

ok,thanks..great ;)

[persuadersonic]

I own this tape too, i'll try to convert it, but I have to find time enough.

[Moumou727]

i was about to put the same comment :)

[LuisV77]

me, too ;-D

[josealbertmun]

Después de tantos años conociendo la música de jarre, hoy la escucho como el primer día, disfrutando de su alto sonido, varios años estuve sin escucharla y me hace pensar en mi interior y el destino de nuestro espíritu. gracias jarre

[fuerzatranquila]

JMJ un genio!

[abogadociroacosta]

es la musica que eleva el espiritu y te da la oportunidad de disfrutar que formamos parte del universo!!!

Realmente Excelente, aun pasando varias decadas desde que se lo escucha.

Salud!!

[alichamberslondon]

Fantastic video :)

[klausfenix]

unico, el mejor de todos los musicos de todo los tiempos de todo el mundo, es un genio, siplemente es fuera de lo normal, mucha calidad

que composicion, musica de dioses.

[phredhe]

Fantastic upload!

[inteligente79]

Jean Michel Jarre.. cuándo vienes a Chile?

[OxygeneLady]

The best JMJs record ever made. I don't even know what else I can say. I'm in love with it for few years and every day it's better. Absolutly perfect!

[cyberfennek]

Equinoxe is the greatest album ever made !!

[UmmoRAR]

Just Awesome ! ! !

[nalcow]

Jarre, first western artist to play in concert in China.

[ericlouet44]

Well, I don't know what to do about it... Maybe, when he is playing to this public he is being colaborative to the system... Maybe, people in the audience who weren't applauding enough loud were having a bullet in the head after... I don't know... If I were a great musician, I would not go to this naszis'like country. How about a concert in Birmany ? How does it help the people who live there ? Just the regime...

[BPRGTEAM]

I am not botherd if it is live or not, it is always a honour to see jean michel, which i shall be doing this friday 22nd in london.

[Glargl]

Jarre at his best. Wonderful!

[CelticReject]

Do they actually play anything on stage or do they just let a tape run?

[DukeLectus]

Yes they do but as it is synth music they have soundeffects running and change/bend them in different ways. Jean Michel Jarre is the KING of synth music. Basically a synth muscian is a technician with good tone/music recognision ;)

[WINSTANLEYOBXa]

Oberheim OBXa

[88heartbreaking88]

Piękne lata osiemdziesiąte,wspaniała muza!!!!!!

[akvammen]

God, I hope he will play this with this kind of set on the upcoming tour!! Jarre is best pre-digital!

[Yimpinkilp]

I first heard this as a midi somebody put in a DOOM level. It works better than a lot of other custom DOOM level midis.

[gLutyrAi]

pls post the other part of this concert coz i wanna see it. thanks'..............

[erelf47]

I've listened this album again and again but there is no sign for me of getting bored of them. Conversely I find something different something deep in these pieces of music when I listen to them

[CART1984]

Just Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!

[erelf47]

kendi çağının üstünde konserler veren bi müzisyen tamamiyle görsel ve işitsel bir devrim

[elkamysselsei03]

Wow!! Thank you so much for uploading this video!!!. THANK YOUUU!!!

[synthisist]

They come up in this order: - 0:56 Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 (USA) - 1:14 (2:20) EMS Modular system (at least 6 of them!) (British) - 2:07 Simmons Drums (?) - 2:43 Moog Modular System (in background) (USA) - 2:55 Eminent 310 Organ (Netherlands) - 3:30 Fairlight Keyboard (Australia) + Fairlight computer screen + Fairlight Hard disk - 3:44 But what keyboard is he programming here? Oberheim? Does anyone know?

Can you see any other keyboards?

Best regards....

[synthisist]

1981, vintage gear! JMJ is using the British EMS modular system (1:10+), then the Eminent 310 organ for lush string sounds (2:55); his band member (0:57) is using a SC Prophet 5. In(3:30) I can see a FAIRLIGHT computer screen (If I'm not mistaken!)

There is also a very big Moog Modular system(?)(2:43)and almost everything else you can imagine up to 1981. This would be worth a bit now. It was worth a lot then. The Australian Fairlight (2:59?) then cost the price of a house!

Drums = Simmons?

[akvammen]

Is it possible to be so mindblowing cool? Yes it is!

[theonlyhalf]

Simply a wonderful peice of music!!

[itarashis]

clued in to his music when he did the china concert. iirc this was the first western performance allowed in post mao china - they went nuts over it. multiple generations of musicians in his family. wiki has nice write up. great musician and def 20+ years ahead of his time.

[Karlkw]

I got this album when it 1st came out. I knew it was the future of music. This guy began the techno music age 20 years before it hit. Nowadays you can push a button and get this sound. back then it took a room full of equipment and many soundtracks. the laser harp is just for show though.

[JazzMusic79]

Exactly. I remember when I first listened to this in the late 1980's and it was amazing even as a child I knew that his work was much different then others and it did not sound technical/mechanical and had a natural feeling to it.

[9w2alz]

It's a great music arrangement plus sound effects... make me fly high... great analog synth... eventhough that piece is more than 20 years old

[JazzMusic79]

Exactly right.

[jarrelana]

great, great...5*****

[FlippYenny]

Wooww k guapoo era JEAN MICHEL JARRE¡¡¡,k mal k tnga 60 añoss, buuuuu¡¡¡

[rfoshaug]

I discovered Jarre in 1986 and was completely blown away with the futuristic soundscapes of up to 10 year old albums compared with the "modern" standard 80's pop of the time.

Those of us that are too young to remember must only imagine how futuristic this music was back in the late 70's and early 80's. Not only for this Chinese audience, but for the entire world, living in the age of disco. The music must have been totally alien for its time.

It still sounds futuristic, 30 years later.

[anxiousnightingale]

excellent, i still have this vhs tape, i bought it in 1983 and the picture and sound are still good.

[xsara123]

I know it's currently the 21st century and this video is from 1981, but this music still sounds very futuristic.

[KRIS4AN]

N1!!!

[Chronologie93]

Sorprendente!!! este debe de ser el concierto más sobrevalorado dado a la cantidad de putadas que tuvo que pasar Jarre y como consiguió dar los conciertos pese a esas putadas. un GRAN DIRECTO!!!!! :D

[synthisist]

JMJarre and Vangelis must be 2 of the greatest synth players ever.... Everyone else follows. This was in 1981. Amazing. I love their music. Do you think they know each other? This is a question I have asked myself a few times...

Is there anyone else as good? With the "G-Force String Machine" and "Arturia products" (+ some others)... you can get a little closer. But they are incredible...

[9w2alz]

moog is the great

[tomkaulitz18]

HAPPY 60TH BIRTHJDAY JMJ!!!!!!

[Spiderwick89]

I JUST LOVE THIS ONE!!!

[RaykoDrg]

I love thoose AKS, I never got the same effect of the original equinoxe. Of course I have the vst, the instrument is unreachable for me. I bet no one could get the same effect, it's unique.

[IsderaESP]

The great remix of this song is:

DJ Quiksilver - Equinoxe 4

[aureliosjc]

remixes are aways stupids

[saledigitalac]

I hate when somebody stone the song and make a remix, so some peoples will think that dj quicksilver is made that song!!. sory on my english.

[xsara123]

The next time he has a massive concert I have to go, even if it's in Antarctica.

[theonlyhalf]

I saw this guy in 1988 at London Docklands. he was simply mesmerizing then, and he remains simply fantastic muscian........so ahead of his time in regards to the technology he used.........see other postings (largest ever audience for an outdooor event at his concerts in china in the earley 80's I think ... ...we fans think he is pure majic.

[TAVOXR2]

!excelente música¡

[mankchester9]

please please tell me where i can buy this dvd or video,its been a long time since i saw it thanks m9.

[paku76]

I'm sorry but I don't know how you can get this. I bought the VHS tape in 1993, however I'm sure that they edit this concert on DVD.

[theonlyhalf]

I think they do, the original recording is about 95 mins, this was edited down to fit on a tape of 90 mins in 1982 a year after the concerts.......

[DoctorPiotr]

exellent

[akissgr1]

what was he thinking??????????

[separator077]

PERFECT!!!!!

[cod3name47]

Masterminde!

[MariusGSi]

Com certeza é um dos melhores concertos de Jarre, mas só tem 0:07 segundos...

[rburklec]

The best, its a Genius

[jarretberk]

sin duda jarre es el mejor musico del mundo !!!

[bialamagia88]

It's probably the ONLY ONE of his concerts played live in 100% ! I love his music despite this. I would like to see this concert but in the net i find only videoclips like this. When can i find some real moovie from the concert? There must be some TV transmition! I would like to see him playing !!!

[mmowoa]

No exists.

Somewhere in the Dreyfus archives. Maybe.

[bialamagia88]

What a pity :-(

[bialamagia88]

But waite a minute... What about VHSes (these with masks in the diffrent colours)? Are some fragments on the net?!

[mmowoa]

The VHS: A Documentary film about the concerts. NO the whole show.

[SainTeRonE]

my father has one some video CDs with his concerts....

[mankchester9]

please please tell me someone how i can get the original concert in china which i saw on tv in manchester england in 1980,it is a classic album and show i saw it transmitted on the night the pope came to heaton park manchester,i own the later 2000 dvd but desperatly need the original,WHY IS IT NOT ON U TUBE.

[riverwey]

The original VHS transmission of the 1981 China tour was released by Polydor / Disques Dreyfus (I think) in about 1992 (?) and its probably deleted long ago now but I'm sure you can still get it on EBAY :) Hope this helps :)

(My personal favourite track from this film is Magnetic Fields 1 :) )

[anapierala]

ta muza nigdy nie umiera, szkoda że J.M.J. juz nie tworzy tak dużo i muzy w tamtych klimatach. Wiem, że ewoluowało to częściowo w techno, ale większość techno to syf. Jest kilka fajnych kawałków ale to nie to samo co dawny J.M.J.

Szkoda

[ewmeiss]

I used to love this song 25 yrs ago, and still do now. Jarre's Concert in China still amazes me. Thanks for the posting.

[lucaslcm]

wenisisissimo
