Time for a change of pace with some new and fine German Power Metal.

It goes extremely well with the battle scene in the book I am reading

RodS · July 31, 2021, 9:51am

I remember Sting was in the original film.

CrystalGipsy · July 31, 2021, 9:52am

Unfortunately so. Bloody awful he was to.

Michael_Harris · July 31, 2021, 9:54am

Though from memory the film ages better the longer you haven’t seen it

RodS · July 31, 2021, 9:57am

The new film looks interesting. Splits the book in to two parts.
The 1984 film wasn’t that great. The book however……

I have the China concerts on double L.P. excellent concert not sure if it was on film, checked it, seems it isn’t. One in London on blu ray.

its not exactly my kind of music
but i saw them one time, they are from my city.
we do not all here look like them

I have Paris La Defense, London and Europe in Concert (Barcelona) on VHS tape. And the 1997 concert in Moscow on DVD.

Next to that I’ve found many concerts online over the years. Which I’ve downloaded. Both as music and video. I have all Jarre’s music on CD, including the China concerts.

I do have a Concerts in China concert movie. It’s more like a documentary. You do see parts of the concert, the background etc. China was quite different back then

I’ve also seen JMJ live twice. Something I’ll never forget

RodS · July 31, 2021, 10:28am

Do you still have a VHS player to watch them on?
Most of what I have of JMJ is on Vinyl as that was what I bought as it came out, have a couple on C.D. as they were cheap and were ok to play in the car.

Michael_Harris · July 31, 2021, 10:34am

It would be more fun if you did

cinematic · July 31, 2021, 10:35am

i come nearer with every year i get older

Michael_Harris · July 31, 2021, 10:36am

Excellent response. I do not have mirrors in my house, just pictures of me as a young man.
And talking of being a younger man

I actually still do have one. There was one on sale at the local Aldi just before they completely disappeared. And since I had quite a collection of tapes I decided to get it. Think that’s about 20 years ago. It still works.

Henri · July 31, 2021, 6:45pm

Thanks! I’ll check it out.

Rockhound · July 31, 2021, 6:55pm

Totally agree - really love their music.

Michael_Harris · July 31, 2021, 7:01pm

I listened to the older album you posted the other day as well. Equally excellent
