Strange how tastes can differ so much but this is the biggest waste of vinyl that there ever was. I am bored after the first 10 seconds...

So, not a great lover of Beethoven either, then..? :D It's true, it's not 'instant gratification' listening, and, indeed, doesn't appeal to all. I wouldn't listen to it either as a loop tape on a desert island, but it does have its moments, and there are 'right times' for listening to such stuff. Wagner's 'Ring' drones on for fifteen hours or so :lol: ...

Steve Hillage is in great condition and playing so close to the spirit of Mike Oldfield... :-)

Looks like the Gong gang was a favourite of Mike Oldfield.

Thanks for posting this. A pleasure to watch and hear. I've always loved Mike Oldfield compositions and contribtions

And it's more on the Purcell and Vivaldi [ever listened to the concerti for mandoline(s) ?)] side than Beethoven. ;-)

Love that Video, Love Tubular Bells, I have the Bells moment from TB3 as my ringtone, I love the whole 'far above the clouds' track so much I'm considering it for my funeral!!

He was terrified before the performance. Richard Branson had to bribe him to perform by promising to give him his car.
