Destination Docklands

Accompanied by fireworks and a light show, the concert also featured The Shadows guitarist Hank Marvin who joined Jarre on the tracks "London Kid" and "Fourth Rendez-Vous".

The concert's scale was larger than any seen in the UK before or since, and used vast numbers of fireworks, World War II searchlights, and used entire buildings as giant projection screens throughout the show.

Originally planned as a one-off event, it was scheduled for 24 September 1988,[2] but Jarre and his crew had to battle constantly with Newham Council and London Fire Brigade over logistical and safety concerns.

"[citation needed] The floating stage was specially built, and made up of several barges brought in from the north of England and welded together to create what Jarre termed his "battleship".

Jarre's original intention was for the stage to traverse the Royal Victoria Docks, but this was not possible due to the poor weather and health and safety concerns.
