Years ago , I saw an excellent animated version of Zappa's "Night School" (Jazz From Hell), possibly done by Bruce Bickford. Does anyone know what, if any , video compilation this appears on? Thanks................Also, is there a commercial video available of Mike Oldfield performing "Tubular Bells" on British TV from the '70s with Fred Frith, Steve Hillage, Mick Taylor, etc...???????????

I saw that Tubular Bells concert a while back on BBC4. So I have it on my hard drive. You searched ebay or Amazon? ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

I think the Night School video was on the "Video From Hell" VHS tape.
Cool collection, it came with 2-D glasses! ------------- Trust me. I know what I'm doing. |

Tubular Bells at the BBC is on YouTube and also on Mike's DVD''Elements -The Best of Mike Oldfield''. ------------- ''Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.'' - Albert Camus |

Hi,
You really should get the "Exposed" DVD ... and Pierre Moerlin is the start in it as far as I am concerned. Not to say that Mike, Pekka, Maddy ... and many others don't deserve the credit ... but Pierre is dah man! in there and then some.
I have a couple of those old Zappa videos but have to double check what they are and see if I can get them converted. I haven't seen them in 15 years probably. ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told! www.pedrosena.com |

Thanks for your suggestions. "Video From Hell", "Elements", and "Exposed" are my next purchases.

Yes, I seem to remember it was on "Video From Hell" but weren't those No-D glasses?

| Yes, they were "NO-D" glasses (yes, we have no bananas). Frank and company must have been giving us fans a throw-back to the We're Only ....." days providing the teenage fun badges, and the like. I still wish a DVD of The Amazing Mr. Bickford would be made available. It's a wonderful study of Bruces' animation and F.Z.s' orchestral collaboration. |
