JARRE LIVE

Recorded during his two major London docklands shows in October 1988 to promote the new Revolutions album, Jarre's third live album tries to capture some of the highlights of the show into a respectable playing time of 54 minutes, mainly focusing on the Revolution tracks. Unfortunately the opener 'Industrial Revolution' is edited down from it's original 17 minute length to just 10 minutes, presumably to fit more tracks into the original LP, and omits the performances of two Equinoxe tracks plus 'Ethnicolor' for the same reason. Other edits are also done to sharpen up the performance, even adding extra audience noise to the recording sometimes, but it sounds much less organic than the original broadcast from 1988. Apart from the more epic 'Industrial Revolution' and 'Rendez-Vous II', you also get the usual Jarre hits with 'Oxygene IV' and 'Magnetic Fields II' and that's about it. Not necessarily a must have from his discography, but should be a good pick if you liked the Revolutions album.
