Comments

A double-sided DVD - one concert on each side. Not bad, but generally true to the albums, which somewhat defeats the purpose of doing a live concert, I would have thought... Miming is evident in some places. But it's Mike, so it's still cool.

Tubular Bells II: Always good, and my favourite of the Tubular Bells series.

Tubular Bells III: Again, brilliant. It's a bit of a givea-way when Mike pretends to play the giant set of bells at the end, and there's a brief shot of someone playing a real set of tubular bells *cough*.
