I turn to this fine group of members to shed some light on a topic that has me frustrated to no end. There is probably not one Mike Oldfield rarity I do not have. Other then one, that eludes me with hundreds of hours of searching. We all know so well the album Orchestral Tubular Bells. I bought that, as well as most of you may have too. However, a long time ago I came across a popular bootleg album (Swallowed up by a big fat snake). Within this gem was part 2 of a live performace of Orchestral Tubular Bells. All I can find of Part 1 is about a shy first 5 minutes. Even Youtube has/had a 1 or 2 minute clip of Mike doing the live version. (the album is much less guitar, and very studio sounding). Besides Mike doing the guitar honors, there was also concerts with Andy Summers, and Steve Hillage too (Not refering to Steve Hillage's Orchestral Hergest Ridge). I have a feeling I am probably looking too hard for something that is probably under my nose (online). Do any of you fine members know of a release of a live version? Or a site that would have more information? Other then typing in google or yahoo search for Mike Oldfield, Steve Hillage, Andy Summers Live Orchestral Tubular Bells. Or a variety of other search terms, I would appreciate if someone would point me in the right direction. Thank you all.
ps. I have followed this site, and forum for years now. This is my first post. Probably a stupid one, but it was a last resort after hitting a brick wall time after time. Thanks again.
