Soon JMJ can have concerts all over the world just by broadcasting his shows in 3D to us :lol:

I will look forward to La Defense in my livingroom :wink:

I think it had to be recorded by special cameras to make that possible...

According to these two persons, the live performance was the worst ever, because it was 90% live, and the video will be kept, the audio will be replaced by the audio recorded during the wek before the concert.
Was that during the recording that Jarre left the stage or before the recording? :wink:

Greetzzz...

I never saw Jarre in his studio playing something on his synth's, as you see other musicians in the studio they play some tunes. I saw Jarre never play something real on some movies. Just some effects or turn on knobs and that is what you can see. But I haven't seen him play something real. Hmmm... strange :nico:
Why are You mad at JMJ?

U were telling many times that playing with wrong notes and mistakes is cool etc so U should be happy

ps. don't say that oxy1-6 is easy. u had big problems with em ;)
No I'm not mad at Jarre. but Jarre is just a show guy.

ps. Oxygene has very simple chords, very simple leads. Not difficult at all to play. My covers are recorded in one shot so. If I did them in 2 or 3 takes they where played right. And for somebody like Jarre who had an musical education and knows solveiges, and the creator of oxygene is it very sad that he can't play this. It is not really professional for an artist.
I get your point. But keep in mind that at one point he decided to do more and more playback. And I'm not blaming him at all, that's what a lot of artists do, and given the complexity of his shows it's no problem at all for me. Playing in a studio environment is totally different than playing in front of cameras and/or an audience. I think it's already a giant leap that he took the decision to play live. Perhaps he hadn't played those pieces in years and years. But then he practised them in the studio for one week, which may have went perfectly and then tried in front of cameras and had a hard time. I don't think you can say it's not professional for not being able to play his own tunes - playing in front of an audience/cameras is just another league. I truly believe that he should continue doing what he did and it will go better soon... I have no doubt at all. :D GO JM GO! :D

I think everything was recorded, so: during the recording. If it was being played live and shot in one go, it would have been mission impossible. They'd just record everything and edit it afterwards.

PLD was recorded digitally, yes, but not with cameras that would make it possible to release it as HDTV3D's new technology.

Thanks Nico. :D

That is very sad to read as he is so much of a perfection. Still does not change anything for me as he is and will always be the greatest electronic artist ever lived. :P

Which is why the decision the abandon the large group format for concerts was a mistake. Even with the huge scale concerts, a small amount of live playing or improvisation is much more satisfying for the artist as well as the audience.
It may well be easier for JMJ in the group format, what with talent like Dominique, Michel and Francis backing him in the past.

>> Playing in a studio environment is totally different than playing in front of cameras and/or an audience. I think it's already a giant leap that he took the decision to play live.

I agree, and I think JMJ should be applauded for this. I think JMJ's reasoning and application on this idea is inspired.

>> Perhaps he hadn't played those pieces in years and years.

My point exactly - all those concerts over the last few years, and maybe - just maybe he has'nt so much as played a note.

>> I truly believe that he should continue doing what he did and it will go better soon... I have no doubt at all.

I agree 100%

:bravo:

But why JMJ didn't play main melody of Oxy 2 ? Why did he has to leave the stage ?
