But they were not added on the tour list on JMJ's official website or on his MySpace page. There was a gap of several months from Théâtre Marigny concerts and the first concert that started the tour.

There were also 4 months between Oxygene Tour in Milan and Oxygene Tour in Grenoble in 1997. And I also remember the October concerts not being listed as a part of the tour because they were only decided to be held later.

Yup. And how exactly did he tour? In circles around the theatre?

With a laser unicycle by LAG

Is that a joke?

Okay Finaero, I have tried to change your mind. If you feel this strongly, I will let you be.

Well, I guess we have to talk about something before the second leg of the tour actually begins

I wonder if there will be a third leg?

I wonder if after Oxygene 13 will be an other encore, for instance Oxy 7?
No, Oxy 13 is encore-like last-kind track.

If JMJ is still of the same opinion we shouldn't expect tracks like Oxygene 7 and 10. He said earlier that they were not possible to perform with the vintage setup, but on the other hand it's a long time ago, so he could as well have found a way to get around it. Besides that we can always discuss it. I don't think Oxygene 7 works good as a last track. I think it's more a starter or somehow in the startingphase of a concert.

Agreed. Oxygene 10 could work well as an Encore. It would be very interesting though, to hear some tracks that we consider more digital nowadays, being performed on the old instruments.

If we have to take Oxygene 10 apart and look at the elements, it would be possible. After all is it based on analogue sounds, eventhough he might have used the JV-90 and Raven a lot on a track like Oxygene 10. The TR-808 is old enough to be on stage, the bass, the lead, the sequence, the alien/theremin whine, the filtered noise coming in and out and the various effects in the background can be done with the analogue gear. There is also the mellotron string sound in it, and they already have a Mellotron on stage. A lot of the background EFX wouldn't be noticed live anyway.

"It's Jarre the Peg, diddle diddle diddle dee, with his extra leg, diddle diddle diddle dee. . . "

That would look good on JMJ.

Or maybe a third arm?
