If Mike went on tour in the near future, what would you like him to perform? My list: 1. In The Beginning/Let There Be Light 2. Quicksilver 3. Tubular Bells pt. 2 (from the guitar-organ duet onward, like on the Montreux DVD) 4. Tr3s Lunas 5. Crystal Clear 6. Hergest Ridge Pt. 1 -Intermission- 7. Ommadawn pt. 1 8. Ommadawn pt. 2 Encore: Tubular Bells part one What's your list? Back to top

About the setlist...a mix of old and new,with a few acoustic bits and time for little pieces of AMAROK. -------------- "But it's always the outsider, the black sheep, that becomes the blockbuster." - Mike Oldfield, 2014 "I remember feeling that I'd been judged unfairly and that I was going to prove them wrong." - Peter Davison, 2011 Back to top

Several reasons: 1) Mike always looks uncomfortable on stage; 2) the studio versions of pieces I nearly always prefer to live ones; and 3) I prefer the sort of visuals you get in, say, the video for "Song of the Boatman" than the sight of musicians going about their business.

The visuals you are talking about in the video are coming from the animation film "Odyssey into the Mind's Eye", itself containing a segment from the Mike Oldfield video "Let there be light". For more info about this film, who is the fourth from a serie of 4 go there: The Mind's Eye serie Personally, these films are one of the best piece of art form I've ever seen. Imagine how I felt when I actually discovered that Mike was involved in the last one! If you want to see a part of this film containing the segment from Mike's Let there be light, go there: Oceanic Celebration The Mike segment is shown at 4:48 Back to top

Are you saying that the entirety of the images from "The Song of the Boatman" came from this, and Mike just put the music in the background? Back to top
