I'm definitely interested in going to see him in Boston.

Oxygene, Les Chants Magnetiques are very enjoyable.

The Blue Hills Bank Pavilion is not my favorite concert venue and I wonder how Jarre's music would fare in that place. It's a big outdoor tent and May 16th is a bit early in the season. Might be a bit cool.

You think May is going to be cold? Step outside now, it's 15-20 degrees warmer then it usually is this time of year.

Have you been to that venue? Is it worth it to buy more expensive tickets in the orchestra section?

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Do a Google image search and you'll get an idea of the place. Since it's tent that is open on the sides, the audio all comes from the speakers that flank the stage. They seem to crank it up to get it out to the tables outside the tent so it is always loud. Personally, I would not want to get too close to that stage. My ears ring enough already.

I saw the J. Geils Band there a couple of years ago and it was too loud. I saw Huey Lewis recreate his "Sports" album there as well and it was so loud I had to wear earplugs. Hopefully Jarre is able to tone it down.

Thanks for the heads up on the SPL. I'll bring ear protection. I see your point in being too close to the stage.

We're going. A friend just hooked us up with some center-stage seats.

Teremin, baby!
