''The Concerts in China'' was a concert tour by Jean Michel Jarre, notable for marking the opening of post-Mao Zedong China to live Western music, in 1981. Five concerts were held in the two biggest cities, for an estimated audience of 120,000 spectators, on October 21 and 22 in Beijing, and on October 26 through 28 in Shanghai. The concerts were filmed and recorded for commercial releases. Due to the low quality of the recorded sound, the tracks were enhanced (overdubbed) for the release of the double album ''The Concerts in China''. An 80-minute documentary entitled 'Jean-Michel Jarre - China Concerts 1981' was made by producer/director Andrew Piddington for Central Television in the UK. It was shown once in 1982 on the ITV network in the UK, and did not receive a video release until 1989, when a VHS-video was released. The film was partially released by Shock DVD in Australia in 2008, but they were prevented from selling it by Jarre and record label Disques Dreyfus. The release was not from the master tapes, but from an 'off-air' Australian TV showing, so the quality was imperfect. The film has yet to receive an authorised, high-quality DVD release. The concert featured the first use of a laser harp. ==Set lists== First Concert in Beijing *Oxygene 1 *Oxygene 2 *Equinoxe 8 *Fishing Junks at Sunset *Magnetic Fields 1 *Magnetic Fields 2 Following Concerts *The Overture *Arpegiator *Equinoxe 4 *Fishing Junks at Sunset *Band in the Rain *Equinoxe 7 *Orient Express *Magnetic Fields 1 *Magnetic Fields 3 *Magnetic Fields 4 *Laser Harp *Night in Shanghai *The Last Rumba *Magnetic Fields 2 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Concerts in China (concert)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
