My personal highlight from last night was the return of some amazing visuals, especially on Rendezvous 2, Herbalizer and Industrial Revolution. These were so much better than his more recent shows when it's often just been geometric shapes. This is back to the old days of pop art graphics, right back to his live roots at Place de la Corcorde.

There's still quite a bit of abstract geometry but when tracks are complemented by really interesting images, it works brilliantly. I know he talks a lot about AI these days (and it can become tiresome) but there were some fabulous and moving effects last night using this technology. I almost cried during Industrial Revolution

Oh really like.

If videoing tonight
Please
1. Focus Lot More on the musicians, lot Less on visuals.
2. When Brian or Adiescar are playing focus on them.
3. Focus on the Choir and Brass section when they are singing playing.

Please nobody listen to this. Musicians will be seen on the broadcast. Focus on the visuals instead, they are always ignored by the TV cameras.
Visuals are the whole point of the concert, you don't need to see shaky camera from afar focusing on a small stage

Yes please don't listen to me.

There's a Waiting for Cousteau-ish track playing right now.

So hope you are recording this.

I'm betting this is the "la Cite Radieuse" track

And we are live - enjoy everyone:

Loving the show so far. Those laser effects on Oxygene pt. 2 are incredible.

The cinematography is maybe the best i have ever seen in a JMJ concert. Many camera angles and clean looking.
