The Concerts in China (concert)

The Concerts in China (concert)

"The Concerts in China" was a concert tour by Jean Michel Jarre, notable for marking the opening of post-Mao 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 for the release of the double album "The Concerts in China". In 1989, a VHS-video release with a documentary and clips from the concerts was made.
