Tubularman Group: Awaiting Authorisation Posts: 2304 Joined: June 2004 Posted: Jan. 17 2006, 14:39 I just wonder, have there been more concerts of Exposed? Like a tour? I now got one, dated 02.05 1979.... Is this the same as the dvd concert or cd? thanks   -------------- Mike Oldfield M i x e s https://soundcloud.com/tubularman Back to top

Inkanta Group: Admins Posts: 1453 Joined: Feb. 2000 Posted: Jan. 18 2006, 00:15 Here is the concert schedule from the 1979 tour. The double album was "recorded live in Spain, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Denmark, and England during March and April 1979." The DVD released in 2005 featured "the entire Wembley Conference Centre concert" (though there were a couple of concerts held at that venue). A few topics down in this forum, there is mention of a BBC recording, 25 April, which would have been at the conference centre (incidentally, it is a different venue than the arena--you can scope it out here). The centre would have been nearly new when Mike played there. I thought I saw a post floating around several weeks ago regarding the 2 May 1979 concert date (Wembley Arena)--maybe it was in my head when I was trying to figure out the DVD concert date. I'm surfing/searching-challenged at the moment (beached! ) and cannot find hide nor hair of it. Not sure I've been of any help here, but perhaps someone else can add to this. -------------- "No such thing as destiny; only choices exist." From:  Moongarden's "Solaris." Back to top

But thank you very much for answer.. and sorry for not have posted this right.. (off course this thread should be under exposed he he) like now. -------------- Mike Oldfield M i x e s https://soundcloud.com/tubularman Back to top

(off course this thread should be under exposed he he) like now. Actually, this topic wasn't very easy to place--it was a question, so it could have gone in the Q & A forum. There was a certain rationale to that since it encompassed both the album/CD, which has its own forum, as well as the video recording component (which is why it spent a few minutes in Q & A). But then, I thought maybe it should be in one of the Exposed forums, so I moved it here thinking maybe it was more about video recordings of it. But....if it's more about sound recordings, it maybe be better off in the other Exposed forum. -------------- "No such thing as destiny; only choices exist." From:  Moongarden's "Solaris."

Harmono Group: Members Posts: 759 Joined: May 2005 Posted: Jan. 20 2006, 09:33 hi I read somewhere that this tour was very expensive and  commercially a disaster, but I remember that Mike said that he didnt care because it was still good and great promotion for his music. Ofcourse with so many musicians and huge equipment it costs much but Im happy they did it. Back to top

I will listen to it later, maybe its not quite worst at all (quality) I can send it to you on sendit if it is good quality.. -------------- Mike Oldfield M i x e s https://soundcloud.com/tubularman Back to top

hairy old hippy Group: Members Posts: 304 Joined: July 2005 Posted: Nov. 07 2007, 03:23 There is a spanish date from the tour and captured on film. The quality is a little scratchy though but I love it!. Look up 'Mike Oldfield Los Conciertos 79' in google video. -------------- Listen to Mohribold; an epic musical tapestry that weaves between a multitude of genres.

Spinne Group: Members Posts: 397 Joined: May 2003 Posted: Nov. 07 2007, 13:28 This recording on Google Video is a partial broadcast of (one of) the Madrid 79 shows. This is from the early tour and you can see Mike is wearing similar clothes than the other musicians (he is not wearing the jacket showed on the Exposed DVD). Also, the 'Ambient Guitars' part is much more similar to the studio version than the one on the official CD and DVD. This film is taken from a bootleg DVD. AFAIK, the spanish TV only broadcasted this two extracts, if they recorded the full show is unknown. About the Wembley Conference Center, the official and the one broadcasted by the BBC should be different shows. You can hear differences (for example, the end of the final Guilty). Back to top
