A few more impressions from Tallinn:

Some here too, with more dance.

Can't imagine this one is official:

I don't think these are official t-shirts. Someone's trying to make a few bucks off of fans.

Yes, that's what I think, too. From what I saw there are five official merchandise items: 2 T-Shirts (b&w and coloured), Hoody, Cap and Poster.

I don't see much harm, they are not expensive, both parties are satisfied and people can already wear them to the concert. Also they are not directly competing with the official merchandise as it's not concert specific (although it very well could have been, I'm fairly sure that Polish seller was not the one who invented a print on demand service)

Yeah, I'm cool with that too. I have a Space of Freedom t-shirt which I'm sure isn't official either. And a bunch of other unofficial concert crap from various bands. If JMJ's legal department is cool with it, then we're cool with it.

I remember in September 1993 in Manchester, outside the Europe in Concert show, unofficial sellers with an absolutely MASSIVE poster, basically the Chronologie album cover but with "1st September 1993 Manchester" across the bottom. It was the size of a wall, like 3m x 2m and remarkable quality given the printing tech back then. I didn't buy, but I should have done!

Sorry but what's all this about? Could u give some more info?

Thank you

Back in '16 before that tour went in full force there were a bunch of promotional videos for the concerts where half the audience was recording the show on their phone, something multiple people pointed out including me.
I don't recall who exactly, but they made a joke about that the Equinoxe people should be looking through their phone rather than the binoculars, so I quickly remade the cover in Illustrator with that change made to it.
Dr_Jones notified Granger about it and a month or two/three later that edit popped up as a new part of the concert visuals, which on one hand is cool, but the point of that edit went straight over their heads and... Well...
Any kind of acknowledgment would have been nice, and now it's again being used in another context than it was made for and... Again, absolutely jack squad about the who, what and where of that edit.
The original upload has long been dead, but I still have that Illustrator file from all the way back then.

It was very much a case of 'Cool, sure, whatever.' back in the day. But with the doubling down on AI art, something I've made my feelings very clear on in other topics, and this popping up again this really bugs me more than it ever has.
Back then, when I tried to get in contact, I was greeted with a deafening silence, which does not really help the matter on how my feelings are now regarding this situation

The stage in Poland is almost ready.

Jote we need to hear your 6 minute interpretation. With your attention to detail well worth it even when stem extracted.

Thanks. This will probably take some time to finish (but I'd suspect "weeks", not "years" like with my Ethnicolor Dead Sea replica from 2024, as this is my own remix), MF1.3 is a bit problematic as the chord changes do not land on the beginnings of bars so it's hard to add modern fill-ins (which could be added effortlessly in other cases, like to MF1.1 as heard in the current tour teasers).

(TBH I've had this on my mind for years, but I finally got round to doing it now that my years-long depression is loosening up a bit and that tour teaser inspired me as well)

(Pardon for hi-jacking the thread)

If in time for August would be my summer track.
It's possible JMJ's team hears it contacts you to include it.
If this happens I think you should strongly say you want 1. CREDIT for it 2. State your case as to the ways you'd IMPROVE JMJ''s performances as regards the music. I think it would do JMJ at his age a world of good to have a much younger person as yourself with your keen ears on his team.

I'm sorry feels lightweight JMJ daytime, by himself.

This bothered me at the time that you didn't get any credit. I didn't say anything on the forum at that time as you were really happy JMJ chose your artistic interpretation. Now it bothers me once more.

[plate of chips]

I'm sorry to say I'm in trepidation nervous seeing JMJ play anything as I'm just fingers crossed hoping for no mistakes : this means I can't enjoy it.

Still I loved the JMJ eye view of Synths, VCS3 during Oxy2.
Still I'm grateful JMJ at nearly 77 is performing.

Always loved Arpegiator. Amazing JMJ chose it. JMJ could gone heavy on the Bass sequence as it begs to be heavy.
