A problematic production - The Tubular Bells: 50th Anniversary Tour review by IcePee
Any artistic endeavor is made up of decisions. Unfortunately this particular endeavour took some unfortunate directions. And, it began right at the beginning. Not just the beginning of the actual production, having a song that has nothing to do with Tubular Bells, Mike Oldfield or anything. Just a bunch of noodling.
The other thing that was fundamentally wrong is the idea that the music needed guilding. I'm not talking about altering it sonically. I'd be all for that, I'm talking about the acrobats. Why? Why have them? I think it speaks to a lack of confidence. On one hand they seemed to fearful to change the music beyond a very limited point, and on another they understood they are competing against all the other recordings and productions of the piece. So they felt a need to differentiate themselves. In my opinion they should have focused on the music, iterate on that rather than what they did and glom on irrelevant acrobatics.
