It is remembered for being the concert which celebrated the astronauts of the Challenger shuttle disaster, which had happened only three and a half months beforehand. One of Jarre's friends, the astronaut Ron McNair, was supposed to play the saxophone via tape from space, though his part was substituted by Houston native, Kirk Whalum , during the concert.
