I have posted the full info here.

Well, this Oxygene Concert in was planed since...1977.

Yes, I have a scan from a old magazine (or newspaper) Record Mirror (16 September,77). This a very old interview and Jarre talked about a concert in Royal Albert Hall, after Equinoxe album.

-----------------------------------------


"I choose to work in Paris because I'm French and I find London a bit oppressive at the moment. It's not creatively stimulating but the situation will change"
"I Think Britain will soon be great again in the other ways. You have this oil in the North Sea wich will give you a lot bargaining power"..."And Britain pionnered the youth revolution. For the first time the establishment was being shown that they weren't there to be kicked around. Often I think the British are fatalists. When a punk spits on another punk I think it reflects an attitude throughout the nation that says the country is fed up."
"It seems to me it takes young people to point out what's wrong with the society. Our age group is going to breed a very healthy society because we're far more aware and alert to the problems of the world."

Next summer Jean Michel should be on the road in Britain.

"I want to wait until the second album is completed so I can have a pattern to work on" he says. "I'd like to do the ALBERT HALL and I want to combine theatrics in the performance".

"I think Keith Emerson copied one of my projects when he suspended himself in mid-air with his piano. Things like that take the audience by surprise but they should be done tastefully."

London's still the same

Nice article by the way, cheers

At last jean will play his music in the uk again for possibly the last time.
i am wetting myself with exitement since this will be the first jarre concert i will attend (having missed out on the previous oxygene tour in 97-98)
does anyone know whether the concert will be a direct port of the paris oxygene concerts or will it be differant (including oxygene 7-13 tracks as well as parts 1-6) ?? and will it include various visual techniques such as laser/light shows or image projections
hope 2 see u loyal jarre fans there on 30th march!!! i know i will be there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I'm tempted to fly over there... I could see all the relatives on "me Mum's" side of the family.

I just wish I knew if he was coming to Los Angeles or New York

Phew!

Got mine!... I hope

The booking line listed on JarreUK was permanently engaged and their website was quite slow. I was trying to search two websites and use the phone all at the same time - desperate to get tickets!

I finally got hold of some on the Albert Hall website - 2nd tier box... they've given me seat numbers - I only hope that all is well and the order is maintained!

I'm not going but out of curiosity i did take a look at the ticket website. The booking fee for a £75 ticket was £6.40 + £1.80 transaction fee making a dear event even dearer (£83.20) To be fair the booking fees at RAH were alot less £3.60 I think.

I thought about Kanta while seeing the first photo

Woot! My mum got us two stall tickets for £75 each, I'm amazed we could run to that at the moment in all honesty...

My Aero T-Shirt's dead/too small..... but I guess I could wear my Houston shirt.....

Just booked my tickets ... all the £75 ones had gone, so I'm in the circle ( £65) ... more money I should not have really spent,( and this time x2 - bigbrother is coming with me ) but hey - you only live once and you cannot take your money with you once you die so .....

I'm with Geejee on this since this is an occasion to "suit up" IMO, just as Maringy was...

I know I will....

I feel so sorry for you... those are the worst seats in da house (flat floor so lots of persons in front of you, and the seat arrangement makes it even worse...)
