In their review, Polish magazine Teraz Rock described this release as "undoubtedly too short".[2] Track listing (DVD)Note: Jean-Michel Jarre has a long practice of changing the names of his songs when performing them live (see the list of Jean-Michel Jarre compositions with multiple titles for details).
