Comment"In Concert" - Gateway Theatre, Edinburgh, 1980
Broadcast by Scottish TV 1980
TV Broadcast "Super Channel" 1987
The real gem in this short show is the version of "Ommadawn" which is absolutely stunning. In my opinion, a far better version than the Knebworth performance of July 21st of the same year (1980), available on the
out of print VHS "The Essential Mike Oldfield"

There is some confusion regarding the date of the actual show, probably because the show was taped earlier than the original broadcast (obviously). This page here has the date of the show as 26 Feb 1980:

...but this site has it listed somewhere in december 1980, probably when it was broadcast for the first time, I don't know:
