Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygene Moscow (2000)

Well done presentation

Jean Michel Jarre's DVD for Oxygene Moscow was well made, and aimed at a young audience with many special effects for his music.
Your service in sending the DVD was excellent. We received it here in Brazil in perfect shape. May 30, 2008

Solid, Entertaining, Well done, Wish it was DTS.

To truly experience Jean Michel Jarre, you have to be there. However, if you can't, this is not bad at all. They did a decent job capturing the event, but were smart enough to keep the camera mostly on him. He is entertaining all on his own, and his shows are too complex for video. The true goldmine on this DVD, I found, was the extra feature where they chronologically go through his past concerts giving you bits and pieces on how they were made, what went on in his life at the time, and actual footage from the shows. That by itself was worth the purchase. So if you're a fan, this will not disappoint you. Just don't buy it expecting to feel the full Jean Michel Jarre experience. August 23, 2007

Moscow????.......Paris For Tolerance is Best!!

I bought this DVD back in May 2000, and it became the first one in my actual collection. I have to say that i am a SUPER FAN of JMJ since 1981 when i listened to a "Oxigene" Dreyfuss Tape, but this DVD doesn't capture the real essence and excitement of a JMJ concert...That's why i give it 3 stars, just for the music, not for the production. Hey, Mr. Jarre, Where's the "Concert for Tolerance", I have it on a VHS tape, i recorded from HBO back in 1996...This is the BEST CONCERT EVER!!...I Know it is available only in Laserdisc and in PAL system!!

Right....

I have the complete concert recorded, and even though the sound quality is poor (had to remaster it many times), the concert was superb.

Now for this DVD... what we have here is edited concert, what could be also explained with the word 'Oxygene'. For example, we have about 6 minutes of Rendez-Vous 2, and in the concert a 9-minute edit was played. Since the DVD is Oxygen in Moscow, they have scrapped f.ex. 'Ethnicolor', 'Equinoxe 7' and 'Equinoxe 4', and even more is missing. And many of the other tracks are edited, and like previous reviewer said, the sounds don't sync.

Like previous reviewer also said, the laser harp seems like it hasn't no sensor or no trigger. During the concert, the laser harp was mailfunctioning a little (some notes sounded strange), so it wasn't really fake. But in this DVD, IT SEEMS LIKE ONE!

First I would have given 5 stars to this DVD. Like it first seemed to be. Good music and great performance (althought I would like to see something else than the players since this is a Jarre-concert...). But I take one star out because many of the songs were left out or then edited (excerpt of Chronologie 6 in the end doesn't make me feel better...). Again one star out for not bothering synchronising the drums/laser harp/etc. One star out for not having any extras (like the better Brazilian edition). So 2 stars for the DVD. But I'll add 1 star for the DVD because of 'Making the Steamroller Fly'-document. It is great to view for people who don't know a rats arse about Jarre, nice document.

And this is the only Jarre DVD that exists, what is very sad to me. I would like to see 'Paris La Defense', 'Destination Docklands' etc. via DVD. But then again, we could have the edits of the concerts. However, as this is the only Jarre DVD, it is very nice bonus to Jarre-collection. But it has it's flaws... October 18, 2003
