Is this like the Jimmy Wilson Group or something?

More like Queen Victoria, Queen Victoria, Queen Victoria, and Queen Victoria.

Watch those fingernails, buddy.

That is frickin' awesome, Subby!!
I've never seen that before.
- a big oldfield fan, especially from 73-78.
the 80's and 90's? enh... not so much...
except "crises" and "amarok" which are great!!

DO NOT watch that if you are tripping on acid...

Yeah, just got a copy of Elements and this caught my attention. I agree with you on the time period preferences. The DVD has more "post-analog" material than I care for. It's worth it just for the uninterrupted live Tubular Bells performance from '73, though. Amazing line-up on that...

Yeah, go pop a copy of Eraserhead in the player instead. Good times, good times...

Nice. That 73 perf. was on here on Halloween night last year. good times. [never saw that clip before that time] [same with this time with this one]

anybody [you?] have that "Exposed" DVD?
is it even available in the USA or Canada?
I have the cd, it's great. Great performances, great sound quality [esp. for a live recording].

subby owes me a new keyboard...

/and that's all I'm sayin'

Q: Why does Mike Oldfield play with himself?
A: Because he can.
And I must say, if I could do it, I'd probably never leave the house.

Good news: Amazon has it.
Bad news: You will pay out your ass for it (though not quite so bad in the "new and used" category, and it is a 2-disc set)

It's on ebay, too; it costs less, but the shipping's a lot higher.

The version of Tubular Bells on YouTube (from Halloween) is broken into 3 parts and is missing brief bits between those segments. On the DVD, it's all one quite lovely continuous piece. And, of course, the sound's a lot better. One little detail that cracks me up for some reason: they do a brief close-up of the oboe player, and he's wearing shades.


cwheelie: Sorry about that.

Dr. Benway

Thank you.

...and they all look so happy to be together too. I kept expecting the one on the lute to pop.

Wow. I never heard all of the tune. The part around 1:50 to 2:10 is cool as heck.
