Both the BR and the CD have the "live audience", the binaural version has not.
BR has the track "The Gathering", which is a simple repetitive droning bass played before the concert.
I'm not sure, but I think the BR has real-life footage of JMJ, I don't think the original broadcast has it. [edit] nope, the original broadcast has that same footage.

New interview with Jean-Michel Jarre via MusicRadar

Jean-Michel Jarre: "I always considered stereo to be a fake process, created in the ‘30s, just to produce a sense of space"

We sat down with the legendary composer to talk through his new live album and his fascination with immersive sound and VR technology

Making of footage is quite nice. It's a 15 minute documentary
5.0 audio versions on the bluray do not have the fake audience.

Oh for crying out loud

(as if these "binaural" releases weren't even more fake than stereo)

The two booklets for the CD edition are nice, the first booklet ("Welcome to") features real life photos of before and during the concert, the other booklet "the other side") has only VR images.

And this is stupid: the masterclass video doesn't have subtitles, you could better watch the youtube video which is subtitled. The making of has english subtitles (hardcoded in the video).

Hopefully the binaural versions (and that they really do lack the awful fake audience noises) get a separate download at some point (without having to get the BR to rip the audio or for the download code)

(Getting uncompressed Dadwater-remastered audio isn't really that desireable to me)

The download code grants access to a binaural wav file (without audience noise). It's shorter than the cd due to the lack of this audience noise. I provided a cue file for it.

Ah, alright.

Somewhat odd that in Northern Europe, they either only have the vinyl version in stock (CDON) or the estimated shipping time is sth like 5-10 days (LevykauppaX).

I noticed this as well and was waiting to see if someone else had the same issue. Seems like another classic mess up again by someone somewhere because it clearly says on the cover that the masterclass should have subtitles.
Was disappointed that there was no 360 video of the concert itself (but that was sort of expected) and instead we get a 5 minute VR video from Ubisoft.

Jean-Michel Jarre: "The rave is a place with good vibes, you have to evaluate the circumstances"

On the occasion of the release of the intriguing Live In Notre-Dame, we met the French master of electronics. Always extremely available, the producer talked about everything, from current events to cinema

In any case, you've probably noticed, the new binaural version is much better than the first.

Also like many I find it unfortunate that there are no subtitles, of all languages, the main ones. It would be respectful for all the fans around the world.

I appreciate the Blu-ray edition for the presence of the two booklets.
