hergest fridge Group: Members Posts: 303 Joined: Aug. 2005 Posted: May 17 2006, 16:59 DVD arrived yesterday,and watched it last night . It,s exactly what i expected it to be,and a perfect snapshot of Mike and his music at that time.For me it was a great time to be an Oldfield fan with the album and then tour cycle that went on until the mid 80,s( HAPPY DAYS ) I know one or two people have metioned Mikes mistakes in the concert but that,s always been the case with his live work.I have seen him live( 5 times) and mistakes did happen,i just put that down to Mike conducting everyone else on stage and checking their performance rather than his own. Going back to this concert though ,i think it,s a good example how the music was stripped back and played in a rockier way with a small band and not like the overblown stuff on Exposed . Back to top

It really does no harm to the music... and you hear everything that's going on. About mistakes: I really don't care for them too. That always happen when it's live, except when you're called PinkFloyd and do a Pulse concert I watched the personal site too of morris pert, percussionist Quite interesting work he's got and career. Hehehe... still looks the same, only the hair is grey. -------------- "And now we're going to play Platinum!" Back to top

I bought it on Ebay, several weeks ago and this DVD come from Korea. It is made by Media Asia. It is very nice. There are both "Knebworth and Elements" on the disc. If you want more informations.....and If can answer.....I will do it..... Yanouch Yeah, if you could. I didn't know any existence of this DVD. It wasn't mentioned on this site either. I saw it was an NTSC DVD. Do you know if it's available new on websites, or can you only order it second hand on Ebay? -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top

ian Group: Members Posts: 473 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: May 19 2006, 12:35 Well, just got a quick look at Taurus 1 and it's excellent. Mike's playing is impecable. Taurus 1 is very complex to play. This DVD shows off Mikes playing more so than recent concerts. The sound quality is excellent also.The band are brilliant and as always Maggie Reilly is cute. Can't wait to watch the rest. The joy of DVD! Back to top

OneGeneratuonTooLate Group: Members Posts: 60 Joined: April 2006 Posted: May 19 2006, 12:37 Yes, got it from the same seller. the Quality of the Knebworth concert is better than the new Montreuex DVD.. I got that today in the mail, and It's good, but the picture quality isn't crystal clear or anything. Mike makes a rather massive mistake on the descending guitar solo in Ommadawn, which dissapoints me, as I bought the DVD Soley for Ommadawn.. But oh well   Looks like a young Jim Carey on keyboards..

airborn Group: Members Posts: 6 Joined: Dec. 2005 Posted: May 21 2006, 10:43 Aside from the great music on the dvd I was wondering if anybody knew how to get a copy of the 15 Montreux International Jazz Festival/1981 poster? I think it would look amazing framed. Thanks Back to top

Maybe you could ask Tubularman (send pm or something) because he knows a great site where you can get posters. I'm not sure what that site is, though I've seen it, but he knows maybe that helps! -------------- "And now we're going to play Platinum!" Back to top

Jeremy Group: Members Posts: 56 Joined: Mar. 2005 Posted: June 08 2006, 00:50 For the last few friday nights I've been going around to my brothers place to watch the Montreux 1981 DVD (yes, the entire New Zealand MO fan club all under one roof once again) and as we do on such auspicious occassions, we toast the performance with a wee drop of something in keeping the theme. Well, after getting through most of our bottle of Benedictine liquer, thinking that Montreux was  somewhere in France, we finally realised  we should have been doing some kind of fondue laced with beer !! It was a harsh lesson but I think I will learn from my mistake! Watching the performance has made me realise what a unique age we live in where we can revisit events from the past in such a comprehensive way. To almost feel part of an experience that occurred 25 years ago in a far off country is quite amazing. It almost seems quite  an abstract scenario, imagine, Mozart - Live in Vienna 1788 DVD. Putting that all aside, it's probably the most enjoyable MO DVD to hit the shelves, lots of work for Mike and the band, amazing skills all round. For me a definate stepping stone between the exposed concerts and the Knebworth performance. I've forgotten, what was that release date for the Knebworth DVD again? -------------- How can they NOT like my music! Back to top

yanouch65 Group: Members Posts: 680 Joined: Feb. 2006 Posted: June 08 2006, 01:37 Montreux in France !!!   By the way, the Montreux Jazz Festival will start soon...... I have found this information on their website: "One can relive the best moments of the Montreux Jazz Festival. Every day, at the end of the afternoon, archives are being projected at the Salon Rotary (Montreux Palace, 1st floor). This year, in order to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Festival, a concert from each year will be presented " Maybe Mike will be there...on the screen! I live near Montreux, I will have a look...

TOBY Group: Members Posts: 1562 Joined: May 2002 Posted: June 08 2006, 13:27 Yeah I just bought it the other day and it is amazingly good. Punkadiddle, not one of my favorite album tracks, is amazing here and Taurus 1 and Sheba are defo the highlights for me. He don't make 'em like that no more. Here's a strange fact. Morris Pert, the weirdy beardy drummer, now lives as a musical hermit in the far north west of Scotland. Back to top
