talking about Jean Michel Jarre...

[Michael Zacherl.]

JMJ is going to come to Vienna on Nov 17th this year.
I'm hesitant, and the venue isn't particularly great (Wiener Stadthalle).

I got the DVD and I just re-enjoyed Gert's pics from 2008.
Maybe that's enough?

Then again the setlist from 2010 in London doesn't look that bad:
