Format:DVD
Having recently purchased tubular bells 1, I noticed the cover of tubular bells 2/3 in a video store, I had seen one small clip on television years ago that has stuck in mind ever since, and when it said live at Edinburgh Castle i knew the clip was off this DVD. I brought it home and played it through the speakers of my newly purchased Home cinema system,And sat down to watch it with my Girlfriend who did not know anything about Mike Oldfield except the single Moonlight Shadow. We started off with Tubular Bells 2, Tubular bells 3 being on the flipside of the disc.The whole setting for the concert is superb and the sound of the Instruments is crystal clear and every instrument is clearly picked out through the speakers as if you were playing a CD from a stereo but better.The Music is fantastic , far better than Tubular bells 1 on CD which does not have the same energy as the Live performance. The music is split into 14 segments which can be picked out individually to find your favourite parts with ease, but the whole DVD should be played from Start to finish in one sitting so the genious of Mike Oldfield as he brings in a number of different instruments and changes direction from Lead Guitar,accoustic guitar,banjo,piano,and bagpipes with ease can be seen.This is probably my favourite DVD at the moment, and has made me check out Mike Oldfield a lot more, I have since purchased 9 CDs by Mike Oldfield. My girlfriend Loves Tubular Bells 2 also and has shown it to everyone that comes to the House,song no:14 titled Tatto is one of the most Emotional pieces of music i have ever heard, and when you listen to it, it is hard to keep a straight face,and judging by the expression on the faces of friends who call round it seems to be the general concensus that this is fantastic value for money. Tubular bells 3 is more 90s dance music with rock mixed in , it does not have the same feel to it as Tubular bells 2 but is good to listen to, However I doubt if Tubular bells 2 will ever be bettered as an instrumental piece by Mike Oldfield or anyone else.

I recently bought 'Mike Oldfield-The Millennium Bell' and was sadly, not impressed.This, however, is the business in every way.TB2 is easily Oldfield's best concert, with the magical backdrop of Edinburgh Castle and Scottish bagpiping at it's best.TB2 is so closely related to Mike's original and breakthrough album TB that it's simply magical.The musicians really seem to be enjoying themselves on every track and even after the intervening years this concert simply hasn't dated at all.Everybody will have their own favourite tracks but I love 'Clear Light' and 'Tatoo'.
The second concert on this DVD is also quite enjoyable, recorded in London, at Horseguards and a different experience to Edinburgh, it's still very catchy and absorbing in it's own right.Although called TB3 it bears little resemblance to the original TB and is quite unique in it's own right.'Secrets' and 'Far above the cloud's' are both stand out tracks and both are reprised in the concert.
As I bought my first 'Oldfield' album in the early seventies and have bought almost everything in the intervening years:-here is my synopsis:-
Best Concert:-TB 2
Second:-TB 3
Third:-The Millennium Bell.
And as TB2 &TB3 are on this DVD it's hard to go wrong.This DVD is strongly recommended and if you are even a 'lukewarm' fan of Oldfield you can's go wrong.Buy and enjoy!!

I bought TB2 Live on video when it came out, and the sound quality in HiFi Stereo was very good, and the live version is a lot better than the original studio version, which for some reason, sound dull in parts. Upon seeing the release onto DVD along with TB3 thrown in, I thought what a bargain. Because both of these concerts could of been released on 2 seperate DVD's and generated a lot more money from the fans. And I was even more impressed when I picked up the DVD in HMV and read that the recording was in Dolby Digital 5.1. I rushed home stuck it on, expecting something fantastic. But I soon learned the 5.1 soundtrack was as extinct as the dodo bird. The only bit of 5.1 throughout the entire 2 concerts, is right at the end of TB3, well at least it comes out the back speakers then. I was very dissapointed. The engineers responsable for this DVD should be taken outside and shot, for this reason alone. To me this is false advertising, and personally, I think this DVD should be remasatered with a 5.1 track if at all possable. However the sound quality is good, but no better than the original video, it's just stereo. The picture quality is very good, hence the 4 stars I have rated it. Had it been done properly in the first place it would have got 5.1 stars.

Absolutely Fantastic
I did not think that Tubular Bells 2 live at the Edinburgh Castle could be beaten, but Tubular Bells 3 in London was fantastic. It left the crowd chanting at the end for more. Read more

Breathtaking, electrifying, gloriously emotive music!!
I love Mike Oldfield so very much; he is a composer and musician who brought composing into the 20th/21st century, and his originality and passion are things rarely seen. Read more

Excellent!!!!!
Both these concerts are wonderful. I've only managed to see Mike live once,back at the Royal Festival Hall, but these make up a little for other missed opportunities. Read more

Good video but what about the soundtrack.....?
If you’re looking for a ‘Live’ concert recording, with an excellent 5.1 soundtrack, then look elsewhere (try The Eagles' - Hell Freezes Over). Read more

The music first
No special effects, no tricks, no fireworks (well, actually...). Just the music, excellent music, fantastic perfomance, very good video direction. Enjoy it.

Best DVD We Own!
Before this DVD, our house had a pitiful collection of Mike Oldfield, but we all loved his work, so we thought we'd check it out. Best DVD purchase we ever made!! Read more
