The Concert

The video is a full faithful performance from the premiere concert of the "Tubular Bells III" album at Horse Guards Parade, London. The concert finishes with encores of "Secrets" and "Far Above the Clouds". "Tubular Bells Part one", "Moonlight Shadow" and "Family Man" were also performed during the encore, but due to these being written by Oldfield when he was with Virgin Records they do not appear on the video [cite web |url=http://tubular.net/faq/ |title=FAQ |publisher=Tubular.net |accessdate=2008-04-16] .
