Paris La Defense (Part 6 of 10) (HQ) - Jean Michel Jarre

Jean Michel Jarre's concert in Paris on 14th July 1990 entered the record books as having attracted the biggest ever crowd to a free rock concert. Over two million exuberant fans crammed the narrow streets of central Paris to enjoy an evening of great music and stunning visual effects.

... This concert spectacular transformed the skyscrapers and surrounding buildings of 'La Defense' into living sculptures through the magic of giant projections, spectacular lighting effects, lasers and fireworks, all synchronised with the music from the central pyramidical stage. A harmonious combination of the past and the present, the baroque and the high tech, ecology and technology, a vision of the Opera of the 21st century.

In this instance, unfortunately, "HQ" means "Higher Quality" rather than "High Quality".

... In 10 parts. :-(

@Davccelion that isnt a sync mismatch between audio and video. The whole track would be out of sync if it were. That is a mime. I dont blame him either. The tech wasnt there to reliably trigger the laser harp back in those days. Its only in recent years he actually does play it, and even then it goes wrong. When your doing a concert for 2.5 million people I wouldnt want to take that chance. I own an Elka Synthex (the laser harp synth) and it freaks out all the time to dodgy midi signals.

@theholyflames , it is not a playback, I saw this concert the very year it was done and I have seen it some thousand times since them: I have it recorded in VHS...What you have observed is a lack of synchrony between image and sound. Sometimes happen when you upload videos in youtube, even if the quality is good....And here we are talking of a video that dates back from 1990!!

5:50 did I hear the laser harp going on a bit or was that some other synth?

Laser harp looks a bit odd after that btw.

Fan flippin tastic, is how I would describe this concert! I've been priviledged enough to see him in concert in the UK last year. I also get to see him again in October in Glasgow, the concert is by far not the same but it is just an honour to go see him live. One of the best artists in the world!!!
