Mike Oldfield & friends -Tubular Bells Part 1- (3 of 3)

Features the live premiere of Tubular Bells that took place at the Queen Elizabeth Hall on June, 1973, performed by Mike Oldfield and friends.

On the original album recording, Mike played over 20
instruments and there were some 2000 overdubs done to create what was
eventually released. Obviously to perform this live he needed a
little help. In the Spring of '73 he began putting rehearsals
together for a live show of this masterpiece.

The group included:

Mick Taylor
Steve Hillage
Fred Frith
Kevin Ayers
Pierre Moerlen
Ted Speight
David Bedford
Stevie Winwood (who was unable to perform due to lack of rehearsals)

No, this comes from the 2nd House programme which was first broadcast on the BBC on December 1, 1973. Even though it included a similar line up, it is entirely separate from the Queen Elizabeth Hall performance on June 25, 1973.
