Encore! Electronic music pioneer returns to Houston 32 years after jaw-dropping show
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Jean-Michel Jarre, the electronic music pioneer who blew Houstonians away with his concert and light show 32 years ago, is back for an encore.

Jarre used the downtown skyline to put on what he calls a city scale concert complete with lasers and fireworks.

Over a million people showed up and parked on the freeways to watch the extravaganza in 1986.

The show boosted spirits at a time when the city was in an oil slump, and became a tribute to the astronauts lost in the Challenger explosion.

In 1986 I played a very special city scale concert in Houston in collaboration with @nasa where my friend the astronaut Ron McNair was supposed to play saxophone live from space during the concert. He was part of the Challenger mission and tragically disappeared as well as the rest of the crew during take off. The show went on with support of the astronauts & NASA and was dedicated to Ron and the astronauts who lost their lives. Tonight in Houston, 32 years after the first concert I wanted to pay tribute to him,l again and I have been moved to meet his wife and daughter. A Rendez-Vous Houston ! #ronmcnair #nasa #electronicaworldtour #space

Jarre performed at the Smart Financial Centre in Sugar Land Tuesday night, marking his first show in the area since 1986.

On Wednesday, he will tour the sites where he performed three decades ago.
