Jean Michel Jarre - Hong-Kong - Live Album (1994)

          

Hong Kong is a live album by Jean Michel Jarre, and released in 1994 on Disques Dreyfus, licensed to Polydor. Even though the album is called Hong Kong and has pictures of the event on its booklet, most of the tracks are from the Europe in Concert venues, except for "Souvenir of China" which is a special mix consisting of the Paris la Defense version and the actual track played in Hong Kong. Also, "Fishing Junks at Sunset" was recorded from the Hong Kong concert rehearsals.

The first version released in 1994 included two CDs but since the 1997 remasters the album has been on one CD, with first part of "Fishing Junks at Sunset" and other ambient snippets from the rest of the album were removed.
