Concert

edit

The video is a full faithful performance from the premiere concert of the Tubular Bells III album at Horse Guards Parade, London, and was released by Warner Music. The concert finishes with encores of "Secrets" and "Far Above the Clouds". "Tubular Bells Part one", "Moonlight Shadow" and "Family Man" were also performed during the encore, but due to these being written by Oldfield when he was with Virgin Records they do not appear on the video.[3]

During the performance of "Man in the Rain" the lights unexpectedly cut out.[4] Oldfield's former Virgin record boss, Richard Branson, was also in the audience.[5]
