Sunday Synth Jam: This video captures Jean Michel Jarre performing live in Monaco, at a celebration of the marriage of Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene.
Note: It’s taken from a live stream and includes about thirty minutes of prerecorded music, played as night falls. Jarre’s performance starts about 30 minutes in.
It’s another epic event for Jarre – but also a rare live performance that features a museum’s worth of classic analog and digital synths.
One of Jarres best concerts for a long time. Bit of laser harp and analog tuning problems but hey, shows it's live.
So how much was "live" vs. pre-recorded. I just cannot belive that was all live – the Equinoxe songs with the long sequner runs, etc.
So 10 mins or so of this on TV, had to switch off. Live or not, was unbelievably bad…
JMJ – he's the man!!! WIsh I had been there. Gog looks great. I reckon it was 70% live. Is that Francis Rimbert (sp?) at the back playing some arpeggiating sequences that sound sequenced. Thats some fast fingers at work there! 🙂
I LOVE ZOOLOOOOOOOOOOOO
His performance seemed kind of, well… sloppy, to me. For such a gigantic and expensive production, the music didn’t feel very epic to my ears. Guess you had to be there…
Lasar harp was a complete hash, he’s well past his sell by date! Can’t play live for toffee.
