I already loved Jean-Michel Jarre's music, but this concert made me love it even more. It kind of feels like a greatest hits compilation, though given the title, I was expecting it to feature him playing both Oxygene albums released at that time in full. I really wasn't disappointed when it turned out to not be that - the selection of tracks was pretty excellent overall.
Visually, it's also pretty neat, feeling like a suitably epic concert to complement the exciting, intricate, sweeping electronic music Jarre is known for. I admittedly was listening to it more than I was watching it, but whenever I looked over, it looked pretty great.
We rightly complain about nepotism a lot, but I feel like Jean-Michel Jarre successfully broke away from his father, legendary composer Maurice Jarre. Maurice might have a slightly more impactful legacy, but I know I listen to his son's music a whole lot more often (it makes for great study/work music - really helps with focus and stuff).
