Paris La Défense – Une Ville En Concert

[1] About 2.5 million people standing in front of the pyramidal stage all the way down to the Arc de Triomphe witnessed this event, setting a new Guinness Book of Records entry for Jarre.

The concert was funded by the Mairie de Paris, the Ministry of Culture and a small cluster of high-profile Parisian business concerns.

Vast grotesque marionettes created by Trinidadian Peter Minshall were used in the concert, along with a live steel drum band.

The tracks Equinoxe 5 and Rendez-Vous 4 were not included on the VHS release for unknown reasons, while encore of Calypso 1 was played over a video montage for the end credits.

An unofficial, broadcast quality, double CD of the entire concert exists and has been traded amongst fans since the event.
