NoteA great sounding concert, some hiss but not bad. With Tubular Bells suddenly and surprisingly in the top 10 and selling hundreds of thousands of copies all over the world, Virgin asked and pleaded with Mike to put on a performance of Tubular Bells. He reluctantly agreed to after being offered a Bentley as a bribe (more details are in the History of Virgin Records book regarding this historic event - the simultaneous rise of both Mike Oldfield and Virgin Records).
