I don't think that the point of that does the harp work is really the issue, the right issue is that does the JMJ's harp really work...
I have seen this before too.

JMJ Jarre Really works, the problem is ; WHEN did Jarre really use it live ?

The only things i'm sure is this : it was really live at Europe in Concert including Hong Kong (93), Oxygen Tour including Moscow (97), Akropolis, Egypte, maybe in Pekin (sound of the Elka in RDV 2 seems to be cover by another sound, and for the rest, i don't know
So far Oxygene Tour including Moscow was the most reliable, as mistakes and improvising appeared, besides details that you could call "unprecise playing".
The Chronologie 3 performance atleast in the Barcelona video looks real aswell. You can also find articles from the China concerts showing how the laser harpe is set up to a synthesizer and then through effects etc. During La Defense, the laser harpe part for Calypso 2 looks live, besides the fact that this part is a bit different from the album version.
This can be discussed to death, which it has been before. You can always be sceptical when it comes to such individual custom instruments that you don't know much about.

I've seen those vids before. It's very funny to watch those kids hitting the beams. It proofs the it is possible to create a live laser harp.

But whether Jarre played live or not on some of his concerts is still open for debate.

In concerts it's often live too, but later overdubbed in the studio :)

Till whose death, I wonder? :)
One instance in that very Barcelona concert did not prove very convincing, if we are to discuss people who are always doubtful about things they see.
It's about Chronologie Part 6. I like that track very much, I think it contains the very essence of what Jarre is, synthesizers, a catchy and clever tune, lots of components, French sound, his favourite chord progressions, and an excellent mood, it's really a sound canvas for me.
The album version is brief to the point but in the live version the second part of the piece, so to speak, where the sequencer comes in, is not only repeated twice but also contains an ending, where Jarre somehow manages to play a part of the accordeon solo where one clearly hears a Bb note (c-d-eb-c-b-d-c) although the keyboard of the instrument ends on an H (ti) in minor octave.
However, keeping in mind what he said in his documentary about his fancy for circus shows from his early childhood, I understand his approach to this ...

/mod edit: quoting corrected.

Discussed to death? you know what I mean... a neverending discussion.
This has been discussed before and what you write is nothing new. Let me remind you that this thread is about a laser harpe and not playback/miming :fine:
