Format:Audio CD
This album was re-released subsequently as Jean Michel Jarre Live. Don't get caught out like I did in buying both!

I take back what I said about Jarre's worst album, because I thought the producer slopped together studio tracks and dubbed together audio noise. This is infact not the case - But instead pulled from the master deck of the concert, which explains why there are no firework noises since the mics were aimed at the stage. Sneaky feeling suggests this was pulled from the mixing deck at the television studio since the track lists follow that of the television recording (including... Computer Weekend!? Dreadful song. Would have been better to include say Souveneers of China!) but, unlike the television recording, the microphones recorded the fireworks as well.
It is live - either that or the producers are very clever at editing. Things missing from the studio tracks, such as hi-hat crash symbols, drum beats, different instruments to used in the studio are all different - So it is infact live.
I still stand by my review of Destination Docklands video released in '99, but this serves as a good memorabila album - But sadly, doesnt give the complete picture, like a lot of Jarre albums the majority of it was consigned to the dustbin. This one, sadly was hit the most, because even the songs included were heavily smashed to pieces. It's good if you want to to dub it to the television recording (which other than a few errors, did work effortlessly together) and give high-fidelity sound quality to that aging VHS of yours.
The majority of songs, bar September and Computer Weekend, are actually quite good. Recommended if you have to have this album, but not recommended if you want the Best of Jarre. Consider Jarre live in Hong Kong, etc.

This album is a souvenir of Jean Michel Jarre's rain-hit concert at London's Docklands from 1988. The one thing the album does achieve is to recreate the atmosphere of the drizzly weather. In reality this album sounds just like the studio versions of his tracks set against some crowd noise.
Had he given it a couple of years, his epic "Paris La Defense" concert would have made a far more interesting album, with it's revamped renditions of his music. If you want to check out a "Jarre live" album, I suggest you investigate "Houston-Lyon: Cities In Concert" or "Jarre Hong Kong".

What is the point of this album?
This album doesn't contain bad music, but I fail to see any reason for it to exist. Effectively, you've got the Revolutions album, with the epic Industrial Revolution heavily... Read more

This is great stuff!
I actually went to this concert back in 1990 (I was ten at the time). It was brilliant then, and this album captures a lot of the atmosphere.
He is a great musician!
