Incidently,i was amazed to find a dvd copy of the Knebworth concert in a record store in Berlin just off the unter den linden,(Friedrichstrasse)when i was over there last year. It cost 14.90 Euros, and appears to have a French connection.....Issued by a company called Silver Vision cat no SV2414. The soundtrack is stereo,and the quality is as good as i think you could get. There is a bonus chapter of the programme that was available at the time. Back to top

From his ground breaking multi million selling Tubular Bells, to unrivalled catalogue of albums such as Five Miles Out, Hergest Ridge and Crisis, to his continuing pioneering audio/visual work he has always striven to be at the front of audio visual movements and he continues to be so with this DVD release of Exposed. Recorded in 1979 at the Wembley Conference Centre as part of the exposed tour, this DVD contains the full gig. For this tour, a 50 piece ensemble orchestra were used and with a road crew of 25 requiring 3 articulated trucks to transport the shows hardware, it was indeed a spectacular show. Newly re-mastered and digitally enhanced the audio on the release is of the highest quality and there is multi angle viewing options allowing the viewer a unique insight into the time when Oldfield was at the peak of his musical and visual abilities serving up spectacular show after spectacular show." Extras: Multi angle viewing capabilities. Tracklisting 1. Incantations Pt.1 2. Incantations Pt.2 3. Tubular Bells Pt.1 4. Guilty 5. Tubular Bells Pt.2 6. Encore Back to top

The SilverVision DVDs (of Knebworth, and The Wind Chimes) were originally spotted for sale on the website of a large German retailer. Those with experience of bootleg releases felt that, on seeing them, the SilverVision DVDs showed all the hallmarks of a bootleg production. They certainly looked pretty cheaply done (and were definitely copied from a LaserDisc)...how they got such a wide distribution, I don't know, and perhaps they're even a legitimate, but very small company.

About that Knebworth bootleg: recently I was on the market in a big town near me where they had The Wind Chimes and Knebworth DVD's... of course they were bootlegs... maybe the same? -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top

For the Platinum tour in 1980 Mike arrange a more reduced group of people to play Quote (willy @ Aug. 18 2005, 04:26) Now all of that would fit onto one disc. So why are there two discs mentioned? Or will there be more stuff on there that we have not been told about, like Knebworth? I think that the multiple angle wiew will add a lot of data if this option is available all the show Back to top

BIG VERN Group: Members Posts: 11 Joined: Aug. 2005 Posted: Aug. 24 2005, 11:16 Just going back to this silver vision Knebworth dvd...it looks for all the world like an official release.it is on a normal picture pressed disc (not dvd-r) and is even copy-righted and bar-coded. The fact that it is available in reputable record stores in Germany lead me to think that it is something beyond a bootleg release.In any case having viewed it,i dont think anything could be added to it to improve it anyway. What did puzzle me about last years excellent Elements dvd was that because it was a Virgin release, why on earth not include Knebworth on that? Anyway the clock is ticking and like everyone else am getting excited about the Exposed dvd. Without sounding greedy,all we need now is for our Italian friends to find us the film from Viareggio 84...what say? Perhaps for next autumn? Back to top

tindog Group: Members Posts: 5 Joined: July 2003 Posted: Aug. 24 2005, 23:56 If anyone has any updated info... sendit.com lists this DVD as an "all regions" release, other sites say it's 'region 2.' Being a Yank, I'm hoping for an 'all region' or 'region 1'... does anyone know for sure? Back to top

EeToN Group: Members Posts: 845 Joined: Sep. 2001 Posted: Sep. 23 2005, 06:28 Take a look at this page. That's all I know about it, anyway. But it may come out already in 21/10/2005. -------------- If I were music, I would be Enigmatism. Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: Sep. 23 2005, 15:11 No, it will be purely stereo - it was recorded for broadcast, so mixed straight to two track tape. It's interesting to find someone else who's a fan of the quad mixing on Exposed, I think hearing it properly decoded really adds something to the material. Perhaps Virgin will feel encouraged to release the remastered quad mix on SACD...but, that's a subject for another topic... It would definitely be nice if they could do a similar mix for the video, but it seems like the best that could be hoped for would be a synthesised surround mix, which I don't really see a huge amount of point to (though they did it for the TB2 and 3 DVDs).

mink stoles Group: Members Posts: 88 Joined: Aug. 2005 Posted: Sep. 23 2005, 16:52 I agree, i too am looking forward to the dvd more,  i guess its because i know tubular bells and incantations so well and its great to see music you love live. -------------- So if you you feel a little glum, To Hergest Ridge you should come.
