The Making Of Destination Docklands (Part 1 of 4) - Jean Michel Jarre

[ryan2020091]

Its said to still remain because its one of the last relics from Britain's industrial age, anyone thinking of going there should know that security patrol the site, and the hoardings signs state "DANGEROUS STRUCTURE, ASPESTOES PRESENT KEEP OUT"

The Britannia Village now occupies the area to the west.

Its true that Spillers Millenium Mills is still there, hidden from view from Silvertown way to the South, but visible across the dock on the North side. the buildings around it have been demolished, as has parts of the main building its self. the Excel Centre now occupies the area used for the crowd, the DLR route out to Beckton also occupies the same area, which is the North bank of the dock. The Flying Angel can be seen on Victoria Dock Road at the beginning of the film, which also remains.

Haven't seen any 'personal' video footage of this event anywhere.

Too bad it seems like nobody in the audience took their own video recording equipment with them to record this event. Though, camera equipment in those days was primitive. Oh well.

Camcorders in them days were still around £1000 to buy. I remember the concert it was also broadcast on radio one, people were asked to bring a radio along to keep in sync with the projections. cant believe it was 22 years ago time passes by so fast as you get older.

How nice of Jarre to mention about the locals of Newham and how he was concerned whether his show would disturb them! It was actually just the opposite.

By the way, his ideas about music and images are just amazing- visual and aural art, I must say.
