    No one can or will ever hold a candle to Mike Oldfield. Without doubt the most under appreciated and under valued guitarist/musician this world has and will ever know. Tubular Bells, Hergest Ridge and Ommadawn are the definition of masterpieces.

    12:58 man... Mike slid up to his note here, a risky move in its own right, and then made a decision in milliseconds to reach to a higher note and bend that note up past the stratosphere in such an unearthly squeal. Most visceral thing I've ever seen. The solo end of Ommadawn is the most emotional, raw thing I've ever heard and felt in music and his performance here is the strongest of any I have found. I get goosebumps every time I come back to watch it, and 5:25 is just unhuman writing and skill.

    The Gong rhythm section, consisting of the incredible Moerlen brothers and bassist, made this a blast. Also, Oldfield seems to be really in it (unlike some later concerts I saw when he seemed a lot less engaged).

      This was one of Pierre's favourite gigs, along with Hyde Park,
      "Oh yes, great day, sun... we came on stage and started playing - it was just magic, fantastic. Everybody played really well, the public were really with us. This one and Knebworth, but Knebworth... I don't know. I think I would say Hyde Park - that's the one which came to me straight away."

    To this day, I have no idea what those two Irish ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don’t want to know. Some things are left best unsaid. I would like to think they were singing about something was so beautiful it can’t be expressed in words and make your heart ache because of it. I tell you those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a Gray place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made these walls dissolve away. For the briefest moment every last man in Shawshank felt free.

    Peter Lemer; cripes. About 2 years during the 50-piece orchestra experiment that resulted in the ‘Exposed’ album. There are several UA-cam videos of concerts we did
    Rupert; I haven’t heard that album.
    Peter; mega project. Turning sequences and multitrack into real orchestral parts. A massive feat of memory for the 'rock band’ section. The orchestral players refused to memorise their parts, tho’.
    Rupert; What was the result of people not learning their parts?
    Peter; 1. the roadies had to provide music stands and sheet music
    2. Mike didn’t get the eye contact he wanted from those players. Near the end of the last tour, he instructed the roadies to 'lose’ the flight case with the music in it, and the players had to play from memory. it was an amazing gig, although not as clinically perfect.
    Rupert; How did you come by the opportunity to play with them?
    Peter; Richard Branson phoned me :-))
    Rupert: What was the experience like for you?
    Peter; the experience of the phone call, or the experience of the band?
    Rupert; both, the band mostly..
    Peter; the phone call is easy - I felt flattered and excited. The band? Hard work, rehearsing, touring, socialising, quarrelling, sharing, more hard work, travelling, big stages, Musicians Union enclaves, young schoolgirls causing havoc with the string players, mike experimenting with his exegesis insights, lots of technology, some of it groundbreaking, too much union politics, exciting performances, deep concentration, brotherhood, envy, clashes, pranks, too much to encapsulate just before bed
