Loud too without being muddy).<br /><br />Good to hear the old tunes - only sorry that it was early on in the tour so we missed the music you're writing along the way.<br /><br />Thanks to all the crew - have a great adventure and come back and see us again soon.dasilva_ukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01728110201950815085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8952195413672995048.post-37627923280757558672009-05-28T17:45:34.402-07:002009-05-28T17:45:34.402-07:00Wembley was a great gig, really crisp sound, even ...Wembley was a great gig, really crisp sound, even where I was sitting near the back :) Was going back to work the next day, so thanks for boosting my enthusiasm at the end of my holiday!<br /><br />Went to Birmingham too, wasn't the audience a bit quiet at first?? When everyone stood up for Oxygene 4, I looked behind me and many in the tiered seating were still sat down! So I persuaded the crowd to get up off their backsides with some gesticulations :D Sitting down is not an option with such a great atmosphere!!<br /><br />Merci bien a tout l'equipe pour 2 soirees formidables.LutonSteveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07887939128069548959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8952195413672995048.post-24136448509129438632009-05-28T06:57:26.040-07:002009-05-28T06:57:26.040-07:00Dates from September ?Dates from September ?Robihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17391901172097063752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8952195413672995048.post-37347891878095712242009-05-27T18:04:12.012-07:002009-05-27T18:04:12.012-07:00...still waiting, after many years, to see a live ......still waiting, after many years, to see a live show In Situ from this guy...The Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01989367384377193167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8952195413672995048.post-3466598467792970882009-05-27T15:27:09.180-07:002009-05-27T15:27:09.180-07:00Hi Jean Michel Thanks so so much for a great week ...Hi Jean Michel Thanks so so much for a great week of Supurb Music I was at Glasgow and Wembley and Manchester and Birmingham and had the best week ever i managed to meet you at the gate at Birmingham NIA before you left and thank you so much for signing my books cd and photo of you and me in dublin taking in march 2008 oxygene tour what about Newcastle arena next?

My son came with me, he was fascinated by the laser harp, from a "work" point of view, as well as musical, as he's studying Physics, lasers in particular this year.

I was transfixed by the whole experience, as if I was immersed wholly in the sights and sounds ... and it passed way too fast !!<br /><br />I hope you enjoyed it as much as those watching in the audience did ( you seemed to , by the smile on your face... ).<br /><br />Again, thank you to you, Francis, Claude, Domininque and the whole crew for a wonderful night .... hope the rest of the tour is as much of a success for you all ...

And when do we hear parts of your new album? <br />I would to see live visual imagery, such as that in the Oxygene 10 in 1997 please!<br />Overall 8 out of ten from me. It was a pleasure to see you on stage again, and the others too...thank you so much for these concerts, and I am very grateful for the reappearance of Equinoxe 5 & Rendezvous 3!!

The sound system was sounding so sweet. The highlights of the night for me was Magnetic Fields 2 and Chronologie 2. As for the lasers, the best show I've seen in a long time.

Then it settled down for Mag Fields 1. After that, things were great.<br /><br />Best of version of Magnetic Fields 2 I've ever heard live. Brought a big dumb grin to my face.<br /><br />Obviously nice to hear things sound more 'old school' again, and for the effects to be stripped back a little to let the musc do the talking. The only thing I missed was the film that goes with O12. Other than that, stellar.<br /><br />Also a pity there was nothing form Zoolook. Just seemed odd with almost nothing post 1997 either.malleus bardorumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04373172430509322342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8952195413672995048.post-8516420882535504782009-05-26T03:09:02.958-07:002009-05-26T03:09:02.958-07:00The Birmingham show was amazing, wonderful to see ...The Birmingham show was amazing, wonderful to see you in my home city!<br /><br />I really loved the choice of tracks, wonderful surprise to hear Calypso 3 and Third Rendez Vous.

Don't know.<br />But what I know for sure is that fact that almost half of the people from the audience was heavily drunken and some of them hardly could understand where they were...
