For those of us who have only heard the organ in church, this was a revelation from the universe. This man is a great virtuoso and inventor of electronic music.
I'm from the UK ...i was brought up listening to Jean Michel jarre beautiful ...the beginning to electronic music . The rave scene / ambient music & trance must come Jean Michel jarre beautiful 😊
The piece of music here is Equinoxe Part 4 and the performance is a live concert at the Place de la Concorde in Paris on 14 July 1979. The 1976 in the title is wrong, this was the year that Oxygene was released; Equinoxe was released in 1978.
Ever since i was a young teen I am still a fan of Jean Michel Jarre, the father of all Synths, this is what started my intro into electronic musical nerdism, later on ending up as a full blown nerd in music creation. Everyone was on pot and crack while i was addicted to making musical art.
Tenia 8 años y me decían que raro este chico por escuchar esta música. Lo único que se que me daba algo de miedo y al mismo tiempo me transportaba a otro mundo . Cosas de chico que a uno le paso. Abrazos
The reason is to create an illusion that it is being played live. Look, I love Jarre, and listen to his music quite often, but the truth is that he rarely plays live. The only concert where he did play 100% live was Oxygene 2007-2008 tour in Europe. I once spoke with a musician who participated at Jarre's Destination Docklands concert in London and he told me that all the synths and equipment were turned off, because of the rain & fear of electric shock. JMJ prepares all his concerts in advance.
Ce monsieur est venu du future surement.au annees 70 il produit une musique bizarre mais magnifique. Le pere de la musique electro. Respect tous le respect à vous jean micheal jarre.
Ehi Davide!!! Mi hai simpaticamente "scippato" l'idea di postare un omaggio a questo geniale Artista dopo ke l'ho anche ammirato nelle sue esibizioni *lasermusic* Cari saluti
I have this LP. I like Jarre but he is among many of the "electronic pioneers". His father was a great composer named Maurice Jarre who did among many other film tracks Lawrence of Arabia and Dr. Zhivago. But Kraftwerk was doing electronic in the early 70's as well and it was really more electronic and experimental than Jarre who was more classic composition. In my humble opinion anyway. And has much more to do with Dance , Trance , Techo etc. All the best, music lovers!
Absolutely, the audience wouldn't know any better, that's the key. What you hear here IS the album, identical right down to the Synthi A effects. He's completely miming. What he's obviously rehearsed is being able to keep up enough of an illusion for the layman (of the time anyway) not to give it a second thought. He's a good showman, always has been. If they're entertained then fine...
I can’t find a band from the late seventies that composed a song call: beyond the milkyway. Or: into the milkyway. I don’t know the band name. Their first album had ten songs. Their lyrics and instrumental were out of this world. Until today. Better than all of the itlalo space cosmo I’ve heard. Besides kOTO-Visitor. The instrument is a combo of disco bass, Afro disco and futuristic synthesizer. Everything match up beautifully. I hope it’s not lost forever.
Today a single computer replaces all material is impessionnant 35 years ahead. So Mr. Jarre how and with what will be t music in 35 years? great music that I enjoy a re listen.
On the contrary, I see a very good panning at synths. Damn nowadays digital lightweight cams, damn jittering youtuber's cameras. We can't see anything stable like anymore, and any longer than 2-seconds still scenes in Tv & Movies ! Anyway : "Merci, Mr. Jean-Michel JARRE"
I would just say that... WTF he thinks he was doing with his left hand?! That was a bad hand-sync, and I am surprised that, after all these years, he still can't play a theremin half decently. But he can compose, no question about it.
@jaapaap5 I would recomend that you read a bit about Jean Michel Jarre and about samplers, synthersizers and so on. Everything is created live, this is just a clip from the whole concert.
his songs , I heard alot on background music. like on Science education tapes in junior highschool. This just reminded me who made those background sound there. The word I put is a program that used to have this song for its intro song.
Well....It's not because they are well known they are true pioneers....A lot of synth and electronic music was already happening in the 50's and 60's... even in the 40's there was already electronic music....It's better to say that Jarre, Kraftwerk ...etc brought electronic music to popular culture and the masses instead of being "early pioneers" :-)
This certaily is from 1979. The version of "Equinoxe Part 4" ist the version released in 1978 als single and maxi single. Also, the video footage itself show clearly, that this is not from 1976, if you know some old tv performances and photos. Anyway, a nice video indeed.
I've been a fan and follower of JMJ since early 1980s. I don't speak out of my butt. If you want to listen to real live electronic music (the old style) you should check out Klaus Schulze.
t think te french guy says that probably its playback and jmj goes through the motions just for the show.But still he stays a legend and great inovator! And i think hes right cause nobody can duplicate such complex music by hand and never miss a beat!
They were both pioneering the electronic music scene at around the same time. I'm sure some inspiration has gone both ways, along with Klaus Schulze, Vangelis, and the others who were beep-booping back then.
People are going to hate me for this but If you watch carefully a lot of it is an elaborate mime to backing tracks. Early on he is twiddling with a VCS, and tapping some kind of electronic snare, but then he does off and plays with other things, and the snare keeps on going. Once you know what instruments are responsible for what sounds in the original, it becomes very apparent. For example, I don't think an Eminent 310u can play its self. But hey a 1976 audience would not know any better.
@jaapaap5 in 1977 Jarre had a team of people to play the different parts for him. Jarre's role was to play the tune etc, and even in some cases he conducted the choir. Nick
This is Equinoxe, so it’s not 1976 but at least 1978 when this was recorded. We also see the Roland CR78 drum machine which was first released in 1978.
@jaapaap5 I don't know about then, if he had pre-recorded tracks and play over the lead lines, but now it's possible! I play this song live using a Roland fantom (sampler workstation keyboard). Samplers and loop stations do the job... ;)
This is Equinoxe 4, to be a bit more specific. Are we sure this is from 1976? The album was not released until December 1978... In fact, recording for the album did not start until January 1978. Now that doesn't guarantee that this recording is from 1978 or later, but it does strongly suggest so. Not that it matters that much, it's just great music anyway. I was lucky to run into this entire album on vinyl a few weeks ago for just 2 euros and I totally love it! :D
This is most probably from 1979 when Jarre made his first "Mega-concert" where a million+ people saw his concert and light show in Paris at Chaps Elyses.
For those of us who have only heard the organ in church, this was a revelation from the universe. This man is a great virtuoso and inventor of electronic music.
He was not the inventor. Loads did it before him.
@@yaxyaxbaby Loads in church. But not the way he is doing now.

to think you could've had both.
45 years and still amazing
Bendito seas maestro Jarre por haber creado composiciones tan maravillosas y darle forma a la música electrónica! Nunca nadie olvidará tu nombre!
Tenia 8 años y me decían que raro este chico por escuchar esta música. Lo único que se que me daba algo de miedo y al mismo tiempo me transportaba a otro mundo . Cosas de chico que a uno le paso. Abrazos
best of the best, there is no better music than that of Jean Michel Jarre
amazing how many people don't know the history of electronic music. Actually, makes me cry, rather than amaze.
Ja die Zeiten gehen ins Land
Le tue musiche sono immortali. Grazie.
Jarre, Schulze, TD, Vangelis, Tomita, YMO, Artemiev, Space, Moroder, etc. - legends of E-music of the 70s and 80s.

Come on, that's not real or? There is a video where he had a bad day and out of nowhere so osc detuned and he couldn't fix it
Jarre is France's greatest mime artiste... after Marcel Marceau.
настоящая ЖИВАЯ электроника!!! Шульц и Жарр - единственные живые музыканты в электронике! сегодня - сплошные сэмплы...
Ein echter Musik-Künstler!!!
Höre ich seit ich ein Kind bin. Deshalb vermutlich auch mein Problem, dass ich Gesang als störend empfinde.^^
Ce monsieur est venu du future surement.au annees 70 il produit une musique bizarre mais magnifique.
Le pere de la musique electro.
Respect tous le respect à vous jean micheal jarre.
J avais 9 ans et je suis aller à ce concert avec ma grand-mère et ma tante à la défense

This is real work of art,the power of tranzistors and human creativity.The best electronic music ever.

Still amazing masterpieces of music what JMJ created

Both masterpieces, Oxygene and Equinoxe. Wish I knew them from beginning, when they were released.

this is real electronic music. todays music is digital.
CongoPongo not sure if you're stupid or just dumb as fuck
Electronic Music Master ✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽
Today a single computer replaces all material is impessionnant 35 years ahead.
So Mr. Jarre how and with what will be t music in 35 years?
great music that I enjoy a re listen.
This music is like to travel to other worlds
Damn 70s and 80s cameramen and all the movement. We just want to see him playing the synths! :)
+Pete Brown Actually we just want to hear the music :)
On the contrary, I see a very good panning at synths.
Damn nowadays digital lightweight cams, damn jittering youtuber's cameras. We can't see anything stable like anymore, and any longer than 2-seconds still scenes in Tv & Movies !
Anyway : "Merci, Mr. Jean-Michel JARRE"
JMJ can't actually play himself too well, and he hardly does anything for real on his concerts, so it's good for him.
I would just say that... WTF he thinks he was doing with his left hand?! That was a bad hand-sync, and I am surprised that, after all these years, he still can't play a theremin half decently. But he can compose, no question about it.
Seria o máximo assistir o Jean Michel Jarre tocando com a banda The Yes dessa mesma época.

O cara é gênio operar essa parafernália toda no tempo certo é genial. Ainda bem que hoje tem tudo isso em um só sintetizador

QUESTO è CONSIDERATO, IL GENIO DELL'ELETTRONICA, UNO DEI PRIMI IN ASSOLUTO NEL SUO GENERE,IO PERSONALMENTE LO CONSIDERO ,IL PIU GRANDE
Forever legend Mr Jarre
Это самая лучшая их песня 😂 хоть какой-то ритм улавил
This is what I want to do when I grow up
Я его ценю и люблю это когда было молодец весь мир слушает это просто супер.
Using these machines at once requires a Hindu God with 12 hands :) Hyper great music with a lotta nostalgia though!
If Bob Marley is the King of Reagge, Jean is the King of all elektro Musik
@jaapaap5 I would recomend that you read a bit about Jean Michel Jarre and about samplers, synthersizers and so on. Everything is created live, this is just a clip from the whole concert.
Can you imagine someone doing a thing like this alone, with all that machines and only a simple MIDI protocol! That was very unusual!
musick ist die BEST..musick ist und bleibt FÜR IMMER DIE BEST
ΣΤΗΝ ΛΕΥΚΗ ΜΕ ΑΓΑΠΗ ΑΛΕΚΟΣ 1976
That everything was performed in real time!!! unbelievable!!!
euhhh....🙂
ESTE FUE EL VIDEOCLIP QUE ME ABRIÓ LA CABEZA EN LOS 80´

НЯМАМ ДУМИ ... СТРАШНО КРАСИВА МУЗИКА!
Sound that never be forgotten.
Good old time.

JM Jarre: Oui
Equinoxe album
Released December 1978

BRAVO JARRE UN ABRASO DESDE CHILE MAESTRO
Kiek jėgos ir energijos !!!

Agreed and also despite this still interesting to watch.
correctly I heard and did not know until these days I found Jean man

But hey a 1976 audience would not know any better.
that guy is friggin amazing.....
You missed out Wendy (formerly Walter) Carlos who was the first widespread success in combining classical compositions with synthesisers

janek jest poprostu debest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the master himself
Que dire, que faire?: amateur de claviers, je me prosterne devant un tel talent et une telle maitrise! Bravo Mr JARRE!
I think this guy was the pioneer of electronic music. the master.
This is Equinoxe, so it’s not 1976 but at least 1978 when this was recorded. We also see the Roland CR78 drum machine which was first released in 1978.
ΣΤΗΝ ΛΕΦΚΗ ΜΕ ΑΓΑΠΗ Ο ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΣ 29/09/1991 23:59❤

I would love to know the $ value of those beatiful old synths today.

The title is wrong. It isn't 1976. It's 1979 from a concert in Paris, a year after Equinoxe was released. The particular song is Equinoxe 4.
@fabiovsroque i totally agree with you..his attemps with pop sounded well, chesey...i have most everything he ever did aside of that..
красавчик!
que genio este tio!!
OXYGÈNE..................................O2, we need you and we need Jean Michel too,
I'm also thinking of Pink Floyd {Darkside of the Moon} album too..With all the newly electronic gadgets that were being developed at that time..
Celui qué tout les Dj devraient vénérer!!!
I would like to show Monsieur Jarre to the keyboard of a 1940s Hammond Novachord.
and see if he could really make one sing!
