This day in history, April 6, 1986: The day after 'Rendez-vous Houston'

Laser beams and visual images were projected as high as 70 stories on several Houston skyscrapers. A stunning fireworks display accompanied the performance of “Rendezvous Houston: A City In Concert,” at the Houston International Festival on April, 5, 1986, featured Jean-Michel Jarre's music.

Houstonians this Sunday morning in 1986 were probably waking up and wondering, "Did that really happen last night?"

About a million had converged just west of downtown for Jean-Michel Jarre's "Rendez-Vous Houston: A City in Concert," which was part of the annual Houston Festival at the time. It was billed as a celebration of NASA's 25 years of human spaceflight and the Texas sesquicentennial.

When all was said it done it set a then-Guinness record for the largest rock concert in history.

I'm still rather fond of the bass "mess-up" during Oxygene 4 in this gig ;)

Well, fond of the bassline from this version overall 8)
