“In>Doors World Tour” Starts in Debrecen
The new Jean Michel Jarre‘s tour, “In>Doors World Tour”, started for good in Fonix Csarnok hall at Debrecen, Hungary last monday May 4, 2009.
Joining Jarre on stage were Francis Rimbert at keyboards, Dominique Perrier with his stunning solos and Claude Samard, at keyboards and percussions and acting as musical director of the show aswell.
The tracklist was a real mixture of well known tracks and songs not played live for almost twenty years, like Calypso 3 or Equinoxe 5. The music was mainly played absolutely live and respecting the original sound of the tracks. There were not new tracks, tough Jarre said in various interviews that he aimed to include new compositions in the tracklist.

The tracklist played in the inaugural concert of the tour was:
