I think it was in the early 80s me being 3-4 years old when i heard Oxygene for the first time.. it came out in 1976. What an amazing piece of work it is, especially the original 6 parts. I'm not really a fan of the 7-13 (except for some remixes; Sunday Club and Takkyu Ishino mixes of Oxygene 8 are great). Jarre and the other pioneers of the era, Kraftwerk released their first (and best IMO) works in the 70s-early 80s and lots of people are still wondering how did they do electronic music that good with the equipment available at the time so long ago.
Most of Jarre's outdoor concerts around the globe have had hundreds of thousands to millions people, some more, some less. The concert in Paris (1990) had "only" 2.5 million people while 3.5 million were in Moscow (1997) I've seen him performing live 2 times, both times absolutely fantastic, great shows for both eyes (cool visuals) and ears (and even better music).
He is a true pioneer in electronic music, a wizard with synthesizers and knows how to please the crowd.
Too bad i've never seen Kraftwerk live but maybe some day....
