Met him when I was 17 years old in 1979 at the Place de la Concorde the day before his concert. I missed it because my tour was leaving for London the next day. Fast forward 30 years later - I traveled to Glasgow to see his 30th anniversary tour at the Royal Concert Hall (first time seeing him live. I also missed the Houston concert). I heard he was arriving for a sound check and met him again at the side door to the venue. He stopped and remembered me after I showed him a picture of us shaking hands 30 years ago. He says to me " Hey Texas!". He changed my life in so many ways, an extraordinary, groundbreaking and inspirational musician and an even greater person.
It was a shame that Channel 4 in the UK had presenters that couldn't stop talking during the original broadcast, then cutting away before the music finished. Many thanks for releasing this ! ❤❤
Exactly this!! Been a huge JMJ fan for many years and only found out about him performing for the 2024 Paralympics Closing Ceremony a couple of days before.. Was as exited as a little kid, and particularly wanted to see JMJ and the other French electronic music artists and DJs (No David Guetta) taking part... Channel 4 made a big deal of the Closing Ceremony, but here in the UK we only saw the formal part, followed by JMJ's brilliant first 'mash-up' set and that was it! .The JMJ Facebook groups I'm in ,many posted pics from the finale when he played 'Time Machine' on his laser harp but it seemed like everywhere in the world was watching but the UK, because Channel 4 has swapped over to an in studio chat programme about the Paralympics called Last Leg... I was absolutely gutted about this because this programme could have been aired after the full Closing Ceremony so I emailed Channel 4 to mention the disappointment of myself and so many other UK JMJ fans.. Their response was lukewarm to say the least, so thankyou so very much for sharing this, it means a lot!!❤❤
@aryastark634 At the time, you needed to have a bit of technical nous to watch the rest of the music show. We managed to get hold of a link with a dodgy feed to France TV2 just in time to see JMJ play the laser harp for Time Machine. Quite why Channel 4 didn't show the full repertoire and then go on to the Last Leg beggars belief. Had the Paralympics been some football tournament they wouldn't have dared to do what they did.
I believe it's kind a 'syndrome' of lots of channels when have a musical act. Here in Brazil happens the same, when we try to watch something and they simply don't stop to talk - and talk nonsense.
We've had quite a few British presenters who have gone really political in the last few years or so - always concentrating on people's struggles in life, particularly before competing in something like the Paralympics. Whilst it is interesting to hear what the athletes have to say and what they've achieved, surely we can have a break from that once in a while ? It can be disheartening.
@@felicemaggie I heard about that from another JMJ fan on one of his several fan Facebook pages..I'm not very tech minded, but this has been well worth the wait!
Same I was like 10 years old and someone gave me Oxygene on cassette I alsmot got to meet him last time he came to Canada for a concert, alas it wasnt meant to be.
Tenho o LP dessa época desses maravilhosos sucessos. Acabei transmitindo a meus filhos esse gosto. JMJ o 1° a lançar esse tipo de sons a laser maravilhosos!! Os Djs mais importantes de hj tentam imitá-lo com IA mas ele foi e é unico. 💝
I'd never heard of JMJ until he did Rendezvous Houston in 86. Been a fan ever since. I share clips of his performances with friends and they blown away.
What I love the most is how verstile his discography is, he kept evolving and experimental instead of playing it safe. Oxygene is a fantastic album, but I'm glad he moved on to do other things instead of repeating himself.
I know age is just a number, but it's clear to see, the secret of youth is definitely your music! A fine performance JMJ, in what looked a dangerous setup! How, on earth, did noone get electricuted in all that rain!? ☔

@@doubleohdutch2108 Yup, it's true, aside from him playing a bit of straight keyboard. I don't knock him for that--after all he composed these amazing tunes--but if you watch many of the performances, you'll see that's what is going on. I was a bit surprised he didn't include Rendez-Vous 4. Would have been such a powerful end to the set.
As a aspiring musician with a moderate amount of electronic equipment, I noticed the rain covering all of JMJ's electronic musical gear & it gave me extreme anxiety, to watch his gear being destroyed. The music must have been backed up, because they couldn't risk any power failures. I have nightmares abought 'LIVE' scenarios like this. But BRAVO to JMJ for being a PRO & living legend Synth god.

Jean Michel Jarre ist ganz einfach der Altmeister in seinem Genre, da kommt nicht wirklich jemand heran. Vielen Dank, für das Zeigen dieser Performance.
Merci Jean Michel. I was working when this was first broadcast. I love being able to watch your performances. Can't wait till your on tour in the Uk again, will be getting tickets for me and my son.
Always epic! And while the others in this same closing ceremony performed with a guy holding an umbrella, Jean Michel Jarre did this epically at the middle of the rain (without umbrella).
Valió la pena soportar estoicamente toda la puesta en escena oscura y satánica de las ceremonias de apertura y clausura... Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷 😁
Jean Michel Jarre super thanks so much. благодарю за великолепное исполнение и видео выступления на концерте. дали возможность присутствие на Вашем концерте.
I'm delighted to be able to see it in its entirety at last, given that the noodles at Channel 4 seemed to think that talking heads were more important than showing the whole ceremony uninterrupted.
Increíble cierre en París 2024! 🌟🎉 La ceremonia final fue un espectáculo lleno de emociones, luces y música. 🎶✨ ¡Un gran adiós a unos Juegos 🌍🏆 inolvidables! 🇫🇷🏅 ¡Hasta la próxima aventura!
Bonjour Jean Michel, Quel beau souvenir malgré ce temps. Et justement j’aurais une question à te posé, les instruments sous la pluie est-ce bien raisonnable surtout pour le VCS3 ?

The cultural significance of JMJ doing the Paralympics shouldn't be underestimated, at the very least from a street cred point of view.

He has inspired me from a young man and have seen him live 3 times. I am now a laser artist and music producer because of this man. Thank you jarre

Nice medley of music too, lots crammed in 😊
Thanks for sharing Jean-Michel!!
wow that was brilliant and what a Legend.

Oh put... JM, les mêmes frissons qu'avant, les mêmes sensations qu'à Houston, Paris, Lyon ou chez moi ! Masterclass Mister JARRE !!! 👍👍👍
