The authorised story of the concert in the Sahara Desert in Merzouga, Morocco.

Foreword by Jean Michel Jarre. Produced in collaboration with Jean Michel Jarre's concert production company, Creative Productions Management.

Everything about Jean Michel Jarre’s concert events is out of the ordinary, whether in challenge, location or scale. When the French musician chose the Sahara desert for a spectacular concert to bring attention to the UNESCO’s Water for Life campaign, it was not so much of a surprise….

With the kind authorisation of Jarre’s management, this authorised book traces the making of the concert at the Erg Chebbi sand dunes in Morocco from project conception through to the stunning concert night itself. Complete with in-depth interviews with members of the production staff, conceptual images, technical drawings and photography from around the concert site spread across over 176 full colour pages, this is a unique must-have book for anyone interested in how these shows are conceived and brought to life.

Produced from within the heart of this Sahara adventure, the concert and behind-the-scenes photographs and projection stills are hand-picked from the concert production archive.

A spectacular collection of concert images are included throughout the book.

Inside the book:

Follow the journey from project conception through to the stunning concert night itself.

Looks like it has a new cover and I can't remember a foreword by JMJ in the original.
The last line on the idesine link is interesting:
Please note that aside from the cover and a new double page spread, the book is largely the same as the first edition.
