Rendez-Vous Houston:
Jarre's concert in Houston, Texas, April 5 1986, is not only considered a milestone in Jean Michel Jarre career but also as groundbreaking in the field of live concert performance due to its extraordinary scale and Guinness Record breaking live audience attendance of 1.3 million people. The occasion for the concert was the 150th anniversary of the City of Houston and the 25th anniversary of NASA.
Jarre embraced the entire skyline of Houston as the decor of his concert performance creating a truly singular, sonic and visual "land-art" event, conceived and performed on a unique scale for a one-off experience. 
The concert took place in the shadow of the tragic deaths of the seven astronauts who had perished along with the Space Shuttle Challenger - it was originally planned that astronaut and saxophonist Ron McNair play live from space with Jarre : that new composition is 'Ron's Piece - Last Rendez-Vous' and was performed on-stage by a friend of McNair's...

Rendez-Vous Lyon:
October 5th, 1986 : Jean Michel Jarre was invited to play by his home town of Lyon, for the City's welcome of His Holiness Pope John Paul II. The concert, which was near the River Saône, was a spectacular show with the singular visual and sound technology now Jarre's unique signature. A choir of not less than 120 people and 60 musicians accompanied him on stage.
The concert attracted more than 800,000 people who gathered on the banks of the river and in the surrounding streets.
In the days leading up to the concert the organizers were very apprehensive, as an ancient prediction made by Nostradamus foretold that a pope would be assassinated in the French city where rivers crossed, indeed the case of Lyon. Jarre defied the Nostradamus' gloomy "prediction" and the concert was a huge success despite the massive security surrounding the Holy Father.
