His picks include Paris, Beijing and Houston, plus his Docklands sets in London in 1988. Expect highly entertaining tales of epic staging and equally epic rainfall, as well as several billion lasers. Remarkably, at the age of 76, there's no sign of Jarre starting to slow down yet, with more live extravaganzas scheduled for 2025.
