OVERTURE REVOLUTION INDUSTRIAL JEAN MICHEL JARRE

In 1988 the album Revolutions was released.

One of the album's tracks, "Revolutions", contained reworked samples of an unpublished composition by Turkish musician Kudsi Erguner, which Jarre had acquired from engineer Xavier Bellenger. Erugner took his case to court and won a modest indemnity.

Along with such guests as The Shadows guitarist Hank Marvin, the album was performed at an event entitled Destination Docklands in front of 200,000 people (not including the thousands of observers who witnessed the event from outside the official concert gates) in two concerts from 89 October 1988. The event utilized the industrial backdrop of London's Royal Victoria Dock in the East End. The original show was due to have been performed as a single event on 24 September 1988, but due to safety concerns voiced by both Newham local council and the London Fire Brigade the licence was refused. After Jarre's crews failing to maintain crowd safety, and protracted meetings and negotiations (as well as Jarre potentially looking at other sites, including Tilbury Docks and Edinburgh Castle to host the event), the application for the licence was finally granted, but for two smaller audience capacity shows. Although the shows went ahead, they were not without issues. Bad weather had threatened to break Jarre's "Battleship" floating stage from its moorings, risking safety to the crew and also musicians and choir. Although the original plan was to have Jarre float across the Royal Victoria Dock on the evening of the first rearranged concert (October 8), high winds meant that it was deemed too unsafe, so it was chained to the dockside. The audience on the second evening was soaked due to pouring rain and biting winds. Despite all these things the concerts were well received and deemed a success; many of the British public attending will recall it as a very special and unique experience, including Diana, Princess of Wales who attended the concert and became a friend and fan of Jarre's music over his career.[citation needed]
The spectacular display of fireworks during Destination Docklands

One aspect of the show was during the transportation of several large mirror balls (some 4m diameter), which Jarre had commissioned for the show to be hung from the large dockside cranes. Whilst en route to the docks, one of the lorries had lost one of the balls on the roadside. On the same night a satellite was due to enter the Earth's atmosphere from space. A member of the public reported the sighting of a sphere like spacecraft rolling on the road, and hence caused major panic as police feared it was the satellite.
