Everything about Jean Michel Jarre's concert events is out of
the ordinary, whether in challenge, location or scale. When the French

Great insight into JMJ's concert production,
By Brighton Book Worm (Brighton, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jean Michel Jarre - Making of Water for Life: The Story Behind the Sahara Desert Concert (Hardcover)
I received a copy of this book today and was very pleased with my purchase. Like many of the photobooks about Jean Michel Jarre's projects, it contains many wonderful images from the event. However, in addition it has a large number of interviews with the crew involved in the event, which allows you to get a glimpse into how they produce these wild concerts. It is fully illustrated with many technical drawings of the stage and structures and behind-the-scenes images during the build-up to the event. There is also a track-by-track recollection from the show, which gives this book much more substance that the usual affair.
This is a great book for anyone interested in Jean Michel Jarre or concert production in general.

Desert Song,
By Hywel Dda (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jean Michel Jarre - Making of Water for Life: The Story Behind the Sahara Desert Concert (Hardcover)
Only a lucky few were in the Sahara desert to wiew Jean Michel Jarre's spectacular concert for UNESCO. The rest of us can now experience it through this sumptuous record. An instructive text surrounding a dazzling array of photographs make us feel as if we were there. There are revealing interviews with enthusiastic fans. The book is beautifully produced and will provide a lasting pleasure.
