Damn, do hope whoever that was is ok.... it's got to have taken a little of the edge off the concert for Jarre.... man, this is NOT how it's supposed to be!

Just returned from the concert. GREAT!!! No new tracks compared to what he has played at the other concerts. Only that he palyed on of the songs twice (I'll not tell you which one )

Anyway. Way better concert compared to the only other concert I have been to (the Oxygene Tour Concert last year in Copenhagen).

There was some minor errors or mistakes, but nothing serious. A few problems with the laser harp in RV3 and some singe notes which was a bit "off", but nothing they didn't handled very quickly.

The only thing I can complain about was that the concert was 40 minutes !!!! late. We entered the arena at approx. 19:40, but the concert began at 20:40. Too bad we didn't get any info. Personally I saw a few crew members working on both the instruments but also on the lamps and the lasers.
But when Jarre finally entered the stage, it was great!

Just got back and it was amazing! I don't think I can express my opinion properly... My brain needs to work on the impressions

tracklist:

Intro: Industrial Revolutions part 2 (it was also the outro)
Encores: Oxygene 4, Calypso 3 (dedicated to the audience) and RV2
I don't remember the right chronology of the tracks: MF1, MF2, EQ4, EQ5, EQ7, RV3, Oxy2, Oxy5 followed by variation III, Oxy12, SoC, Chr2, Chr6.
I think that was it. My min is a mess at the moment
I missed the Perrier solo in SoC, but he did it great in MF2 and Chr2 for instance.
The laser harpe program apparently works using different "pages" of beam notes. Jarre accidentially got it wrong and had to scroll through the "pages" Actually that was rather cool.
JMJ's Minimoog Voyager was replaced by the Syntar, which was used during Calypso 3.
The ecnores were more or less obvious, as when I arrived at the venue, you could hear them rehears Oxygene 4 and Calypso 3 (besides RV3)
Apparently many tickets were not sold, so you could actually move around a bit to find a great spot I was quite satisfied with that.

Syntar? W00t!

Yes but he didn't use it as a keytar

He broke some bones besides a punctured lung. They had to get a new team of workers, as some of them were mentally affected by the incident.

Yes it was used for some wicked effectsound during Calypso 3, before the keytar solo part.

Ras Bolding's report here, albeit in Danish only. 6 of 6 points, though.

Here is the English version.

I can only agree with Ras' review! A shame the comments end up like a mess, because there is always one or two strange viewers, writing unnecessary comments.
