Mike Oldfield/Austria 1984

From the 1984 European tour when the album “DISCOVERY” was released, the performance in Vienna, Austria on October 1st was recorded as an audience recording! ! It starts with the raging masterpiece “Platinum” followed by part 2 of “Tubular Bells”. After the live “Taurus” medley, the highlight of this sound source is a perfect reproduction of the masterpiece “The Lake”, which can be said to be the only progressive number recorded on “DISCOVERY”. Mike’s guitar, full of originality with a delicate touch, and the accurate band ensemble are also wonderful, a passionate performance unique to this tour. In the second half, he plays songs from the album “DISCOVERY”, such as the singles “To France” and “Tricks Of The Light”, which are melancholy pop songs that can be heard with Maggie’s vocals. Of course, there was a big cheer for the big hit “Moonlight Shadow”. A rare sound source that can be said to be the time when his various sides bloomed.
