Product Description

Mike Oldfield took the world of music by storm at the age of 19 in 1973 with the release of his debut album, "Tubular Bells", which hit the No.1 spot in numerous countries and has gone on to sell in excess of 16 million copies worldwide. A naturally shy man, it was not until the end of the decade that he began to play live on a regular basis. In 1981, by now a confident stage performer, he embarked on his European Adventure Tour, which took in the Montreux Festival in July, where he performed in front of an enthusiastic sold out audience.

1. QE2 MEDLEY: TAURUS 1 / SHEBA / MIRAGE
2. PLATINUM PARTS 1-4
3. TUBULAR BELLS, PART TWO
4. MEDLEY: CONFLICT / OMMADAWN
5. TUBULAR BELLS, PART ONE

5.0 out of 5 stars mike at his best, June 21, 2006

By	G. W. Miller - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The last reviewer was right, this is an awe inspiring concert. Mike Oldfield is, in my opinion, the greatest musical genius of our time, and this concert captures him at his very best. The passion with which he plays is unbelievable, and brings back memories of the time I saw him in NYC on his Five Miles Out tour so many years ago. The rendition of Platinum is similiar to the one on The Complete Mike Oldfield, and is made quite amusing when the waiter brings Mike and the band some drinks during the Charleston part. But, for me, the greatest highlight is the beautiful and glorious version of Ommadawn that he performs with such passion.

I have all of the available Mike Oldfield concerts on DVD, and each is worth owning for its own reasons, but this one is the closest to my heart. It's well worth the price of admission, and if you like Mike at all, I can assure you that you won't be disappointed. Please give me more of Mike Oldfield on DVD!

5.0 out of 5 stars This One Blew Me Away!, July 26, 2006

By	Paul Bellocq "pmbellocq" (Slidell, LA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have been a fan of Mike Oldfield since Tubualr Bells was first released. He is one of the few artists that I never got to see in concert. Well, this little jewel of a DVD more than makes up for this. I always knew what a great composer he was, and figured that his records were mostly studio overdubs. Well, this video shows what an incredible guitarist and musician he really is, even in a live setting. The backup band are all stellar musicians as well, some playing several different instruments. There are two drummers, and at one point, there are three. The very polite audience knew what a rare treat this concert was, as you can tell by their enthusiastic response between compositions. This was filmed at what is probably considered his artistic peak, with the release of QE2. I can ignore the few minor quibbles, since this was filmed 25 years ago. Mike Oldfield on DVD is better than none at all. Money well spent!!!!
