Jean Michel Jarre - Performing on stage at the armadillo glasgow.
Jean Michel at the start of his latest world tour. If you plan to see him
i would recommend trying to get a seat within the middle of the stage,
I made the terrible mistake of being too far left and resulted in the sound being far too quiet and lacking in stereo feild during the performance,
I did not enjoy the concert as much as i could had if i chose better seating.
Most of the backing seemed to be recorded, dont get me wrong, this did not bother me much as he did play alot of live music over the recorded backing.
His lasers were very powerfull - including a revamped version of his LASER HARP!! Was fun to watch. one thing i was trying to figure out was the way his laser harp worked, i believe he triggered off each note by moving his hand to block the next laser beam. I am still a little curious to find out if he was actually playing the notes or not - or wether each movement of the hand triggered off the next note, as i have video footage which shows him hitting a certain laser beam then later to hit the same laser beam within the same song and a different note happen.
overall the concert was great, glad to hear some music from "Chronologie" one of my favorite albums.
I will certainly go to see him again if he returns to Glasgow.
He has inspired me as a musician/composer and if you listen to my music you will for sure hear the influence he has gave me when writing my music, see link below........
