Fantastic BBC4 video of Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells," recorded November 30, 1973. If you need about a dozen reasons to watch this early studio performance of Oldfield's trance epic, note the players - the cream of the early 70s British jazz & progressive scenes - from Gong, Henry Cow, Soft Machine and even a young Mick Taylor, fresh from The Rolling Stones. Excellent.
