Going to See Jean Michelle Jarre !

Recommended Posts

I went to see him at Destination Docklands in 1988, and then at Wembley Arena in the mid 90's.

 

I have all of his albums, and used to play them practically on rotation years ago. I still like a few of his, but the novelty has worn off a bit.

 

His live shows are certainly spectacular, but I can't help but think that they are all pre-recorded. Which is a shame, as I think he's a very talented chap. For a Frenchman ;)

 

Hope you enjoy :)

60 this year, as it happens.

 

BTW his name is Jean-Michel Jarre. Michelle is a girls name, even in France ;)

 

Maybe that's exactly it. Darren's off to see the famous female impersonator Jean Michelle Jarre. I've personally seen her and she's awfully good live, but her light show leaves a lot to be desired.

 

Here she is at the Danbury village hall, Essex 2003- from my private collection:

Was never quite that keen but had most of his albums, and you are spot on 'the novelty has worn off'. Put the chinese concert on last week as a blast from the past ;)

There's been so much more around by other artists that make his stuff sound a little dated now, but its still excellent music IMO.

 

I liked one of his latest proper albums, Metamorphoses, but the remixes (including some by Sash) in Odyssey through 02 are pretty good. The second Oxygene album, 7-13 is good too.

 

One of my favourites, from The Concerts in China CD, has to be Night in Shanghai. :)
