Jarre Live, later re-released as Destination Docklands: The London Concert, is a live album by Jean-Michel Jarre, released on 2 October 1989 on Disques Dreyfus.[2] It was recorded during Jarre's Destination Docklands concerts of 1988, which consisted of two London concerts in England; this was the first time the docklands district of London and the river Thames became the scenery for a concert.

The concerts featured performances of all the tracks from Jarre's recent album Revolutions, alongside performances of tracks from his previous albums. Hank Marvin of the Shadows was a special guest on guitar, performing on the tracks London Kid and Rendez-Vous 4. There were 6 tracks performed at concerts but not included on the album - Équinoxe 5, Équinoxe 7, Rendez-Vous 3, Souvenir of China, Ethnicolor and Tokyo Kid. Some tracks, in particular Industrial Revolution, are included in edited form for unknown reasons.
