In 1986 I had my first introduction to Jean-Michel Jarre. It was shortly after the Space Shuttle Discovery explosion and Jarre put on a giant concert in downtown Houston.
A huge crowd gathered to watch the performance which would be using the city’s downtown buildings as projection screens. I was 16 and my father took me and a friend down to see the show along with 1.3 million other people. It was the largest concert on record at the time.
The show was originally planned to coincide with the Texas 150-year reunion. The original Houston show was supposed to feature Ron McNair's saxiphone solo recorded in space. After the disaster, Jarre had saxophonist Pierre Gossez play the part in remembrance.
This was only my second concert, my first being Molly Hatchet at Astroworld.
This was also my first introduction to electronica and synth music. Jarre showed up with a circular keyboard and a laser harp that he played throughout the show. We were not very close to the stage, but were able to see the show via video screens that had been set up nearby.
30 years later, Jarre is touring again. Being a huge synth nerd now, I decided to get tickets with a buddy of mine. Despite the lacking attendance at the show(Colorado people like bluegrass?), Jarre showed up with all of his old tricks along with some new ones. The light show was one of the best visual performances I’ve ever see, and I’ve seen a lot of shows.
The music was incredible and the sound system that he had set up was incredible. I was worried about the sound in the venue because I’ve seen a few shows there that had terrible acoustics.
If you have the opportunity to see him live, I would not pass it up, even if you are not familiar with his past music.
