Does anyone have or know of a live recording of Tubular Bells from the 70's. I've been desperately searching for it all over the place because I'm not sure the original still exists.
Mike toured it with a full live band and one of the shows was taken or it was a mix from the different venues. I can't completely remember how it was done.
It may have even featured bagpipes at one point. I think I remember that the original release had a white cover with a live picture framed in the middle? Possibly around 1978?
It has this guy on keyboards/synth (I think): Craig Pruess.

It's the original version, Frans. None of those have the same cover, but perhaps I'll try to preview the Edinburgh one. (Although it's Tubular Bells II)

I found an acoustic guitar version by someone called Tony Gritty which is quite nice. Great to eat a meal with!!

A friend has suggested the version you are after may be "Exposed" from your description of the cover. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposed_(Mike_Oldfield_album)Craig Pruess Wiki says "....concert performing (solo and with his own ensembles but also with Mike Oldfield for the world premiere of "Tubular Bells II"", September 1992, at the Edinburgh Castle); " en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_PruessSyd
