Mike Oldfield - Montreux 1981 - Taurus 1 (1/2)

[@SergioSilva-Meteoro]

When music gives you shivers and brings tears to your eyes there are no words to describe it. Some people deserve to live forever! Hail to you, Mike, GREAT MASTER... to your fantastic band and to the angel Maggie!!!

[@michaelwolf3720]

Please never forget Maggie Reilly she always brought calm and harmony to the band

[@juancarlosbernabeaviles]

Music from Heaven.

[@obumij]

Genius Oldfield

[@wilkinsfarago]

Remember seeing Mike play this at a free concert he gave at the London Guildhall the day before Charles and Di got married in 1981. Taurus 1 was the first piece he played and when the twin drummers came in the sound went right through me. I was only 15 and I was hooked for life.

[@garylove5475]

I was at that concert too. Given a long lunch break by a great friend and mentor who himself was a great music fan having been to Isle of Wight and many other hippy concerts. Guildhall a great setting for this track and remember watching MO’s total focus on a distant object as he got in the groove of the mandolin intro.

[@scottlloydamey6154]

The Mandolin section of Taurus 1 is almost hypnotic.... I've been listening to this album since I was 6 years old... The year of it's release... Truly amazing music.

[@maval4537]

I was already nine when the album came out, but it had the same impact to me... at the age of 14 then, I learned to play it on the mandolin, even if I actually used to be a drummer🙂.

[@awross4842]

Listen to guitar part in Ommadaw...

[@toy200sx]

A live masterclass by all musicians.

[@almendralejotj8801]

Aquí M Olfield, dando un un sonido espectacular de gaita con 🎸. Como en Ommadaw. Que gran genio virtuoso.

[@awross4842]

Ommadaw is the best on this concert - IMHO. Almost like six with 3 orgism one after another ;p This part has 3 finals...

[@andrearizzuto668]

wonderful music...... mike is the best!!!!!

[@Eltonlaleham]

+Andrea Rizzuto The woman with orange hair looks like a sci-fi alien

[@geoffmiles8743]

I agree , love his music , wish i could play some of it 😘

[@flowerlandofjohn]

Brilliant track, I loved this all my life. But I just had to add some drums on the intro. Enjoy! 🤩 kzbin.infoVf3r_tdgo54?feature=share

[@FabioGarbinn]

one of the best live ever!

[@kadir.61]

[@forth2the90s9]

He is a wizard. Mysterious creature PERIOD

[@reinhardneef4074]

Ein Klasse Song, das muss man sich richtig laut gönnen

[@mononoaware1960]

If I ever get an Sg junior it will be because of mike Oldfield.

[@macan4469]

what a voice, what a harmony of the music and her singing. heaven!

[@karstensjstrmclausen1100]

So much time passing by.. Still loves it.. So long time ago... Happy birthday Lars.. ;)

[@Baggio37]

All of this concert was brilliant ... thanks for posting it. I've never seen it before a real joy to watch.

[@cpw60]

I listen to these youtube videos of this concert every month, hope they will stay here forever! Ok, I could also buy the DVD, and maybe I will.

[@IKE66]

amazing!! tubular bells, ommadawn, platinum and QE2 in one concert - where is the time machine to beam me back to montreux

[@triffiks]

not only is mike a legend he also knows how to inject comedy into music and one can hear different things each time you listen. Ive brought some of his albums in past and on first listen its Oh, (dissapointed) but after a few plays you see what hes getting at (-:

[@worldnotworld]

Some of the later albums I just couldn't get into. You inspire me to take another listen.

[@saltacienvecesmas]

I'm in love with his music

[@lsdmadman]

[@SamauraiRippeR]

That is an absolutely beautiful voice.

[@RhondaGriffinHunter]

[@MrJSSilva]

Caramba, agora a minha alma foi láaaaaaa atrás onde eu fui muito feliz :-)

[@jesusgl4687]

Mike Oldfield para mí el mejor músico de la historia

[@juancarlosbernabeaviles]

Mike Oldfield no es solo un músico también es uno de los mejores compositores de nuestro tiempo además de multi-instrumentista.

[@yupetlb]

MARAVILLOSOOOOOOOOOO

[@larstangmark]

The drumming!!!!

[@lovsy6479]

ME like mutch gitarrr sound wow my legend my king My hero

[@wildux8221]

Maggie Reilly, there's no Mike Oldfield without her ..

[@almendralejotj8801]

Y Maggie Rellie fue en su día una fenomena con M Olfiel De su voz salía un Ángel. Una de las mejores voces De los mejores dúos con M Olfield.

[@jurgenbrandt642]

oh, there's music in the air...da ist Musik in den Eiern!! Diese alten Oldfield-Sachen sind der Üübershit (positiv gemeint), 1 Mio. Daumen hoch!

[@ricardonobre9376]

[@fadasan]

Maravilhoso!

[@LMac1970]

[@ohwotagiveaway]

Wendy Roberts sang in his Knebworth 80 concert (Maggie Reilly was there too).

[@MegaSnake5000]

[@ildikomolnar5001]

mitsos mitsaras Just see Mike Oldfield live in Knebwort!:) There you can see and hear Wendy Roberts:) That performance is awesome!

[@UFOBevy]

lol aye thanks, made me smile.

[@ricardonobre9376]

amóooooo

[@myuselessopinion]

mikes got so much talent its phenomenal!! but what realy strikes me is where the hell he produces these fantastic sounds from? purely from the well spring of his creativity i guess but man is his music so emotionaly grabbing!!

[@ohoto3896]

He walks around in his garden, and notes when certain ideas come to him. ALLO! :)

[@giorgiobelluscio2970]

2:28 best part ever

[@juancuesta9814]

+Giorgio Belluscio Couriosly enough , the best part at 2.28 in tubular bells , in the same concert

[@mickigoe]

Aw ! Poor Maggie, Giorgio.

[@lifeson46]

Does anyone Know of a chap called Phil Beer ...he played on the exposed album I think

[@ControlableInsanity]

5:42 is amazing

[@AtlantisLion]

Good sweet Roland CR-78

[@irishelk3]

Does anyone know what kind of a mandolin that is?. I wonder if he still has it, probably does knowing him.

[@UFOBevy]

I am MO fan, but come on! He could smile once a year

[@thomfmify]

Maggie Reilly! Do it. Standing in the morning sun Waiting though it had begun May you never run ground Or call into the deep, deep sound.

[@biancaturner725]

thom fmify cool

[@ajs41]

Each Taurus is slightly better than the previous one IMO.

[@theshamy6573]

Well, the second one is definitely better than the first, but the third one is the worst out of those three in my opinion

[@bobin1973]

perfect mandolin!!!

[@Dannymusic1999]

@Bixpoku I'm ordering this DVD as well, can't wait. Is it in 5.1?

[@Tubeplate1]

Some great Taurus 1 in Taurus 1 :)

[@musicfromhell]

@coltsuperocean10 Why are you even watching a Mike Oldfield video at all, then? If you were a fan, you would know that his pieces (especially extended compositions such as Taurus I) unfold, progress, and generally become more interesting as they go along. Making a decision as to the quality of this music after listening to a mere 2 minutes is somewhat premature. Listen to the whole piece five times all the way through. If you a musical idiot, as it seems, it will take time to appreciate.

[@andrerenault]

The music really picks up at 2:27 and slows at 4:43

[@66agosto]

4:50 entrando no paraíso.....

[@Gorschty12]

Ich finde den ersten Teil hier und den zweiten derartig fesselnd beruhigend.. hoere es seit laengerem immer wieder, doch wenn ich vergleichbare Aufnahmen davon hoere, klingen sie wie abgewandlet. immer wieder leicht veraendert. Ich liebe diese Version hier .. aber vielleicht bilde ich es mir nur ein? Respekt trotzdem !

[@Najisnice]

Hola! Sabes si en este concierto, se grabó el Mount Teide?

[@Hubip]

Nice =) Do someone know who that bass/guitar-player is?

[@chantrysingers1885]

Rick Fenn

[@kzbxvz]

The QE2 LP were released in 1980. Mike Oldfield being more electric than ever before.

[@munyones]

Was Maggie Reilly angry during the whole concert? It seems so. Well, she has said in public that working with Mike was difficult because of his personality (yet she doesn't regret it, anyway)

[@lsdmadman]

the bizarreness of the keyboardists shirt (now a scandalous urban legend) still rocks the delicate balance of my finely-honed aesthetic specificities whatever in gods name that means

[@restojon1]

Chris ott, I replied to this so you would be reminded of this wonderful comment.

[@lsdmadman]

i'm as purist as can be but yall must needs check out mikes song "sheba" and dig on his vocoding voodoo

[@BenBlauRecordings]

I want the pullover from Tim Cross! :D

[@teamcrumb]

@lifeson46 why? are you Phil Beer?

[@starlaletrasdecanciones9571]

2023

[@SamauraiRippeR]

@lsdmadman How about the womans' outfit?

[@Hubip]

ok, thanks =D

[@FionnMarr]

@coltsuperocean10 So you didn't hang round for the end of the song but stayed long enough to give the rest of us your measured and informed opinion? Good for you.

[@y16amp]

@ColinBobbyDartford - Well she certainly covers more miles on the stage than the rest put together!

[@lifeson46]

@lifeson46 No I'm not but i did meet him one time in a pub in Devon.........jolly nice chappie

[@Arvid53]

Look at Tim on keyboards

[@coltsuperocean10]

@FionnMarr ....You`re welcome. So you didn`t like it too?

[@IKE66]

Rick Fenn

[@VintoProductions]

I hate what music has turned into. It’s certainly nowhere near as talented and complex as this masterpiece.

[@psion0027]

it is the same dude that plays for mike in platinum

[@danielb.m1075]

Ah! When Mike composed his best jobs. Delicious. Anyway I have a question: What kind of obsession do people have with Maggie Reilly? She's a great singer but neither so special as the most of people think. I suppose is the mystic aura she has.

[@restojon1]

I'm not a singer myself but I was a working session musician back in the 90's and I worked with all sorts of people. I think that to a non musician, two major things would be at play. Firstly, she has a lot of clarity on her highs and warmth in the mids and lows. Note, when she uses her vibrato. That's very different to other female singers. Secondly, I think that it's how her vocals were countered against the harshness of Mike's guitar sound and at other times followed more flowing gentle musical lines and passages. At least, I think so anyway.

[@emmgeeo]

The reason Maggie looks so shattered is coz MO does her before during and after gigs.

[@34hedgehog]

Pathetic. Grow up.

[@757foks]

3 guys don't know what is the meaning of the music

[@clhb21]

Das war noch gute handgemachte und hörbare Musik. Wenn man sich heute so manchen Schrott anhören muss klappen sich die Ohren automatisch zu...

[@lsdmadman]

naw i've worn godawful stuff before ..pls ignore my obnoxiousness...it's all in goofiness...awesome keys playing

[@ondineclaudel]

@lsdmadman I like his s/hirt real cool ..the worst one is the singer disguise

[@Teidi]

@bobin1973 Actually it is outta tune.....the D string i think

[@lsdmadman]

the keyboardist's shirt: appalling people into the 2009 era and beyond...

[@Jasway72]

Guys, please dont feed the troll

[@lsdmadman]

krikey wannna believe in some indelicate form of deity now

[@Dessagidir]

@robotchickenrules and others: don´t excite yourselves; he heares rap and other rubbish and isn´t it worthy therefore. The eagle doesn´t greet the mole!

[@lajosbronz1334]

Etalon

[@Teidi]

too bad the mandolin is out of tune...on one of the pair strings.....

[@Hubip]

ok, thanks =D
