BlahBlahCafe - Jean-Michel Jarre forum

Excellent news. Thanks. My fingers are crossed.

Whoooa, buying the Mail today!!!

Jut bought the Mail on Sunday,there are some Nice pics(Obviously taken pre show at Maringy) the Interview is the same thats on the Mails Website,plus there is also a further description of Jarre talking about his synths,(With an overhead picture and them Numbered as to which instrument Jarre is talking about,this is only Jarres setup and doesn't include the Instruments that DP/CS/FR used ,although Jarre talks about the Modular setups)

The Eminent Has 3 Keyboards according to this ???Seems they beleive the Jupiter 4 is part of the Eminent Organ???


Doesn't mention anywhere about the "supposed" Albert Hall gig

Can someone explain, if Jarre will perform the concert on 30th March, then why i see in March schedule "Ignite..." instead of JMJ...

I've contacted the Royal Albert Hall for further information (again) and I'm waiting for their reply. According to a post on the JarreUK forum (sorry I can't remember who did it) the Royal Albert Hall have confirmed that the concert will be taking place on the 30th March and that tickets go on sale on Monday!

There is another event taking place at lunchtime. I assume Jarre will be setting up around this.

Could everyone do me a favour and let me get my tickets first... I want front row seats! ! !

If that's the case, how do they set all the Jarre stage up for that same evening, set and rig all the gear up, tune them all in and get a small rehersal in before the concert begins. If they can do all that, another entry into the "Guiness Book Of World Records" for Jarre.

And now we have two separate discussions about RAH (and Carre Amsterdam in the other thread).

Confusing

I've been to a convention there in the past,and a concert,most of the smaller events use the centre seating area,as smaller events don't really call for the whole theatre to be seating,Not every event there would use the staging area,so they remove the central seats and use that as the area for stalls etc for conventions and the main performance stage is either empty or they have screens if there is something being setup.It depends on what event it is,obviously a Musical performance/Concert would need the whole Hall,The only time I've been for a concert was A-Ha and they used the All the seating.

I would expect this to be the same scenario for Jarre,although it depends on what time this other function ends and how Quickly they can vacate the hall and replace the seating area

Personally think it would be impossible to do without conflict,surely this other event doesn't want Jarre's crew soundchecking during their Event?Unless they did it on Headphones and then a last minute PA check before doors open,They did it with the Oxygene tour with Minimal setup and breakdown times,so sure they could do it again for this concert.


I'm not fussed about Front Row seats,I know a far better viewing area,this is where I had seats for A-ha,and its much better than being on the front row!!!infact you get a much closer and more personal View..

Just wish we'd hear some offical news...The suspense is Killing me...

How funny would that be to hear that other group performing to then hear some disemboded voice over the loud speaker "Francis, this ******* MemoryMoog is playing up again"

I agree. Let's stick to discussing the Royal Albert Hall here from you now on, please.

Royal Albert Hall seating.

So who will go?

I will for sure...


Would be good if we could organise a fan meeting prior to it(If the concert is confirmed)

If Jarre's synths start playing up again, he could always use the RAH own organ

@Equinoxe: Rubberlips had the same idea.

@Mr. Tung: Yeap, that's a good backup. Hope JMJ's management can organise it.

@Kanta & Mr Tung:

JMJ should use that organ-- something like Chrono 2 or 8 would be positively GRAND!
