The album is a live rendering of previously released tracks by Jarre, with sometimes slightly new arrangements. Rendez-Vous IV, for instance features Hank Marvin of the Shadows on guitar. In contrast to the original concert, not all tracks are included on the live album. Équinoxe 5, for instance, was played during the show but not included on the album. Other songs, such as Industrial Revolution (or Révolution Industrielle) have been trimmed.
