Reviews
- This sounds exceptional especially TB with the drums. It really takes it somewhere else as there's less of the plod of the original. Mike originally played it all by hand to multitrack so as magical as it is, the drums make it more professional and precise. I also have this on CD, not the HDCD, and always found it a bit lifeless. The DVD is definitely worth tracking down as it's the London show.
- Edited one year agoSimply stunning. I have just sourced a perfect NM copy of this. Wow ! for Oldfield fans this is an amazing addition to the collection. Not sure how I missed this before. Tubular bells and Guilty are very different to the studio versions and worth it for them alone. The harmonics are just crystal clear as played on my Rega 3. The sound definition is pretty astonishing for a live album.
