this song is balancing between polpular and traditional Oldfileld music on the album five miles out. I always wondered how many drummers can manage this difficult and amazing rhythm, I think at least two of them needed to give back the feeling of the studio version. anyway this performance is great.
it's a drummers piece. it's a pitty, the video doesn't show simon's work on the highhat. he's playing against all of them with it. palmer did a great job job in the studio, but phillips kicks ass in 1984 live. been there in dortmund; still upset after all those years.
teidi is a great peace of music.
get the whole viareggio-thingie and remember: it's the mid80's :)
I've had little luck finding videos of this era of Oldfield's career, around the time of QE2 and Five Miles Out. It's my favorite music of his, probably because it's the only time I saw him in concert (San Francisco '82, and yes I was pretty young). Also because he finally began to add percussion to his music (not much on Tubular Bells, Ommadawn, etc.) Can't hear the mix as I'd like; there's really a lot going on. But I'm just glad to find this. Thanks for posting it.

I was in this concert, first row, 17 years-old. Phillips performance was not bad, this piece is extremely difficult out of studio.

what an unchristly trippy tune, may those potentially bothersome gods have SOME mercy...
