April 5th 1986, at 8.15pm, Downtown Houston is aflame. A kilometer long wall of skyscrapers is illuminated by DCA projectors, fireworks and beamed images. Over one and a half million people witnessed for the very first time an entire city in concert.

... Jean Michel Jarre's commemoration of the 150th anniversary of Houston and Texas, and of the 25th anniversary of NASA, was one of the most spectacular concerts in the history of music.

... Rendez-vous Houston: A City In Concert gained an entry in the Guiness Book Of Records for having attracted the largest audience ever for an outdoor concert.

... The event is also dedicated to the memory of the astronauts who perished in the Challenger tragedy. One of them, Ron McNair, astronaut and saxophonist, should have interpreted "Ron's Piece" in space (a title specially composed for him - it was to have become the first musical piece played and recorded in space.)

... In 6 parts.

  • @1D9A9N3 So wear an ear condom next time.

  • shame the music sucks

  • @BrainyCesarin1 aparentemente el pretexto gubernamental fue que la henorme multitud pondria en riezgo las ruinas de Teotihuacan , pero en fin... The reazon mexican goverment gave at the time was that the huge crowd would damage the historical site buildings...

  • 4:05, Amazing part!

  • @rrencinal Efectivamente no pudo venir gracias al estúpido gobierno de salinas de gortari que se negó a traer todo su equipo desde Francia, cabe mencionar que el maestro Jarre iba a presentarse gratis, lo único que pedía era eso que le trajeran todo su equipo. Saludos.

  • @backrubs62 You, Me, my girlfriend and 1.499 Million other people. :-)
