Lyn and I had another great night last night. We were at the o2 to Jean-Michel Jarre, godfather of electronic music. When I saw the gig being advertised there a few months ago, I thought it would be great for Lyn to go see him – he is straight up her street musically. As for myself, I’ve always been a bit of a fan.
We got there in plenty of time, meeting Paul en route. At first I thought there would be empty seats, but these soon filled. The warm-up dj didn’t really impress me, but from the moment Jarre himself began to play, I was captivated. What took my breath away the most, though, were the visuals projected to the back of the stage: they were extraordinary, swirling images like nothing I had ever seen, timed to perfection with the music. And when the lasers began, it felt like all my Star Trek related dreams had come true.
In short, it was a great night, and well worth going. To hear Oxygene performed at the O2 (his line, not mine, but one I just had to steal) was awesome. The godfather of electronica puts on a great gig, and I’d thoroughly recommend going if you can.
