An interesting video. The recording of Laurie Anderson's vocals, used for Jean Michel Jarre's "Twelve Dreams of the Sun" millennium concert at the great pyramids of Giza.
This appears to be someone's personal recording rather than the actual TV broadcast, unfortunately. But still, I will watch it.

Was the sunset concert also broadcasted?
I have only seen proshot footage of the millennium show. The only song from the sunset show I have seen was “Eldorado” in the BBC broadcast of one hour.

There is only a bootleg version.
I even didn’t know that there was a bootleg of the sunrise concert

In Oxy 7, what was JM playing exactly?
He appears to be playing the main theme, with both hands on the synth - while weating his laser harp gloves! - but then at 2'36" in this video his scarf starts to fall off his shoulder and he takes his hands off the keyboard to readjust it but the tune keeps playing uninterrupted

While a great recording, such a 25-year-long tease that it still doesn't feature full Oxygene 7 (or Ethnicolor for that matter) - but maybe those recordings are stored in some basement (next to the PLD ones, ofc) and will be found one day
Also, I don't think I've heard anyone ever mentioning that there was an alternate TV broadcast of the sunrise concert, or at least at this stage I can only remember the heavily edited BBC one, but Dr_Jones' reaction seems to indicate that this is the first time it's come up. So maybe hopefully one day other broadcasts/recordings like this will surface
