So it's now 2nd(?) time, when you met with JMJ, so now I think that he remembers you for now.

It is a shame that there weren't even a possibility for me to meet him.

I'm delighted you met the main man again, Kanta. Something I've yet to do .. :(
Are smelling salts in order, or have you recovered ? :D :P

@JP: It's the third time:
1. Birmingham 2008
2. London 2008
3. Birmingham 2009

I hope he remembers me. I even blew a kiss through the gate at him and he return it. :oops: :injure: I would never have done that before but I was tired of chasing him. :mrgreen:

@Pat: :no: , I have not recovered. I still have not recovered the first time I met him.

It's hard work meeting JMJ. I am tired. :punch:

Btw, met Francis too. He is very kind and signed my tour programme. 8)

Glad you were able to meet the guy, Kanta. He's put on a bit of weight, though, hasn't he? :robertdugenou: :P

Thanx you. :mrgreen: I don't think so. He looked just fine when I saw him after the concert. :p: But Francis, he has lost more weight since I last saw him last year. :?

Great recording. 8) :bravo: We are GREAT!!!!!!! :clap3: :nod:

Once JMJ finished drinking his bottled water during the concert, he threw the empty bottle at the crowd directly behind me. Wow, I watched the bottle sail pass me over my head. It was really amazing to witness. Hope the lucky fan who caught the bottle cherishes it for life. That bottle is definitely a rare JMJ collectors item. :p:

When JMJ played the Moog Liberator especially during Oxygene V, it was spectacular to watch as it was played literally a few yards away from me. A very big and powerful machine. :mrgreen:

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!

Out of the RAH Oxygene gig last year, Aero and Electronic Night, I'm very very tempted to say that's the best JMJ gig I've ever been to.

Equinoxe 7!

Equinoxe 5!

Magnetic Fields 1! OLD STYLE!

LIGHTS. HOLY S**T THE LIGHTS WERE AWESOME. Talking to my friend apparently most of it was laser based. CRAZY.

Calypso 3! SINCE WHEN?!?!?!

I truly believe JMJ has returned to the style of the China Concerts (1981, not 2004) with a proper band behind him - I've been waiting years for this to happen. The lighting was very CiC era too. I think the cockup in RV2 was one of the best bits of the gig - it showed everyone this is LIVE once again. NOT mimed. :D
