Mike Oldfield - Montreux 1981 - Tubular Bells part 1a

[@Moonbo]

It's like he's reading our minds and playing exactly what we want him to.

[@chaseupchurch]

Still my favorite live performance of this song.

[@diegocristalboylovemarinmo8575]

El mejor musico del siglo xx el n1 de la historia

[@parkdale3612]

I remember listening to Incantations part 3 when I was a young lad. Having my soul blasted apart from the guitar playing. I was in ecstasy. I'll love Oldfield forever. If you read this and haven't listened to Amarok, do. Several times. Over 100 times.

[@worldwideviral]

I was in the audience....legend

[@obikar]

Damals gab es noch wahre Meister, und die Musik wurde noch sebst gemacht. Mike Oldfield ist ein Genie!

[@NickShillitoMusic]

That intro... that is how bass should be played!!! Mike Oldfield is an incredible musician and an inspiration to me

[@chefjohn46]

I still get the chills down the spine.... 40 years later!

[@biba1205]

Wow, das ist wirklich immer noch gute Musik!

[@lovelyboylondon]

This is a rare treat. Live renditions of Tubular Bells are always special. Mike Oldfield is a genius...

[@drnerka]

I love how he doesn't make a show, he goes out on the stage, does his job in being brilliant, bows and leaves the stage still being humble.

[@twilight0406]

Mike ist so wunderbar und bringt mir mit seiner Musik immer große Freude. Man kann dabei so schön träumen!

[@111chakra]

Aaah incredible. I was a merchant ship officer in the late 1970s and my ship was in Svendborg, Denmark. After dancing at Kloster Moster we went and made love to this music -- the first time I ever heard it. Memories and beautiful music....

[@Leroy001]

This used to be one of my late brothers favorite pieces. When ever I am thinking of him I like to play this video. Too bad they didn't have the video when he was around.

[@sezums]

This mans a genius- I've liked him since I was 14! Here I am 34 soon and still top of my life of hundreds of guitarists!!!

[@kathleencarson]

Thanks for taking me back close to where it all stared. :)

[@bigfra79]

I wish this song in remembrance of my father. It was, and is his signature track. Family and friends know him of this song. Alexander William Donald March59 to October09 Dad, I miss you. F

[@jimmymac63]

I have loved and enjoyed this song since it first came out....But I must say, in this performance, I was blown away by the skilz of the bass guitarist....Loved it! Thanks whobear...You made my day!

[@MelodyFox]

As usual, with Mike Oldfield, ALL the musicians are EXCELLENT... (~_*) smiles in the mix from Melody Fo d(*_*)b (aka the Princess of Rock) Love Peace Music

[@louswire]

GAWD he looks soooo young... I just love this album.

[@chrisderrick57]

Brilliant...thanks for sharing. A real under-rated guitarist.

[@koutz1987]

[@zapkvr]

Can you see the way Mike just plays the audience. Christ he is a freak. What a genius.

[@bbaazz]

this is an awsome song, great melody and awsome guitar work

[@PrimericanIdol]

This goes beyond words... incredible.

[@hannesvanstaden6659]

Some trivia: This guy was discovered by Richard Branson and was the first successfull artist for Virgin Music.

[@fronkn]

one of my all time favorites! Mike is great!

[@gbozoki]

There are no words to describe the grandness of this music.

[@MrsSas0rii]

Mike Oldfield était vraiment très charmant... Et le voir jouer de la guitare comme un Dieu le rend encore plus... séduisant x)

[@SarahCharles92]

This song is amazing- the guitar part is the best bit- Mike Oldfield is a genius with the guitar!

[@TFFgeek]

That intro gives me cold shiver and is just the moest awesome melody ever! Gotta love Tubular Bells!

[@impavitus]

I'm 4,538 years old and I like this music! Can you believe that?

[@daniiratib]

Isso é música de verdade! Uma pena não existir mais artistas como ele.

[@Pb532581]

Kurz vor dem Militärdienst und meinem 20 igsten Geburtstag war ich an diesem Konzert mit meiner grossen liebe in Montreux dabei. Spliff hatten ihren ersten Auftritt und wir nach dem Konzert an den Gardasee weitergereist,,es war soooo schön

[@LIVEREALFOOLED]

i think its absolutely amazing how people create music from this perspective and then its recreated for an fan base that is there to listen even though its ideally no more than an score.

[@StellaRoseTea]

Yay! I love this song. Mike looks soooo young here!

[@hellraisersteve]

This song just gives me shivers down my spine because its so Good,one of the best tunes in the history of music.

[@김치완-d3x]

Mike has many amazing talents any of which ordinary people can't have....

[@linda0695]

Nearly finished reading his autobiography, first book I've read for about 20 years, it's great, have total empathy for him, know exactly where he's coming from. Linda

[@truckerdave505]

great!!! Thanks for posting, I still have the original studio release in vinyl.

[@patriciabennett3412]

ive always loved this

[@paullavan6098]

If it wasn't for this man's true genius, Richard Branson would never have had the opportunity to employ somebody to say "Virgin Trains regret to announce..." about five thousand times a year.

[@LMac1970]

Amazing piece of footage. There's an element of the original tortured youngster here which is completely fascinating. And the African drum action near the beginning's pretty cool too.

[@reachthelight]

as always Mike is an all time musical ginus!BRAVO

[@GABY24MARCH]

IT IS A VERY VERY GREAT AND BEAUTIFUL SONG. THIS VERSION IS AWESOME!

[@aaronwildeofficial]

Drop dead gorgeous guitarist

[@Milowfan1234]

Fantastique! Thanks for posting!

[@westwizzer]

This is an epitome of pure genusness, i play this in my band called grumblefish, we really rock it out and it sounds magic, thanks to mike oldfield...

[@deanwaters4718]

In a world where everything is instant this was worth waiting for

[@DerDrache707071]

Ein Meisterwerk, einzigartig und unglaublich.

[@acjuan84]

This is my first time hearing this live. This sounds dope as hell.

[@Soissesglaubsmir]

[@dxrebel]

[@british_sports_car]

@bigfra79 I love this piece of music as well! I think it is awsome that you dedicate it to someone near and dear! May your dad rest in piece! What a wondeful way to remember him! :-)

[@anthos567]

4:00-4:50, THIS is music. Overwhelmingly beautiful

[@mariutunio]

Mike Oldfield is one of my idols

[@ShaneD3488]

Why isn't any of today's music this good?

[@Ibnisabr74]

One Of My Fav Artist.....

[@McVillly]

First time I heard of his name was 12 years ago, only to find out I've heard dozens of his songs since i was little kid, just didn't know it was him who played them. Epic composer.

[@notyrmama]

Thx BG. I was starting to think I was crazy. And this is a very good version for it's "most awesome guitarplaying". I may be dating myself but the first time I heard this album was like 76 maybe 77. thx again.

[@oxygene65]

amazing. completely amazing. pure class.

[@bliwers]

mike forever, what a song maker guitarist etc etc simply awesome

[@RayMond777]

This is really amazing

[@JufBoeliewoelie]

Break the rules of music!! This magnefique mind combined a 9/8 and 7/8 time signature in this composition! He really is amazing!!

[@antonio251269]

simplemente de otro planeta este tio impresionante

[@giobest89]

mitico mike...il migliore! semplicemente UNICO...

[@Squab1972]

The best Mike Oldfield album ever which I am proud to own.

[@paulstvincent]

this musical instrument is called ''tubular bells'' knew this song for a long time but learned about this instrument only today!

[@Diizel]

Mike is a livin' legend! I have all records. Awesome songwriter, and thats all i can to say about that guy.

[@eclipse5eddy]

Fantastic crescendos to both parts in my opinion, one thing that still boggles me is that this guy is able to play up to 16 different instruments in both compositions. I adore part 1 more than the second.

[@MamaOliver]

Intro und der Bass, sooooo genial ;-)!

[@destructOzap]

Tubular bells . . . one of the great songs

[@anlopful]

Oczywiście, że całość jest piękna i słucham go już od roku.

[@wokensoulsounds07]

outstanding composition

[@NightmareLyra]

Dat bass solo! We need more music with bass solo's.

[@Zaon90]

All I can say... Genius nothing that describes this guy. And the talent he has with the guitarr... jesus give me thoose please!

[@Diedschej]

Very, very special - soooo good!

[@cvegar01]

Mike is (and always be) a genie.

[@cobie74]

the bass is sooo amazing!!!!

[@stoker243]

amazing guitar playing!

[@abuelitaentanga]

Ive never heard before the complete song When I was a child Every time I heard this song I used to feel scared now I think is a great piece of progressive music

[@nicodu02140]

R.I.P Tim Cross :( A wonderful Keyboadist...

[@Danishdonjuan]

Amazing. Mike is a musical genius.

[@CiceroLounge]

I wonnder how many of us know how clever this guy is *iloved him from BBC Blue Peter of course* but he's a UK legend :)

[@GpunktHartman]

ICh weiß nicht wie oft schon gesehen und gehört .... aber dies und ein Glas Rotwein ...einfach genial !

[@Kegwithlegs]

Mindestens in Deutschland, seit ewig nicht mehr gesehen auf die Plakate! Schreib mal an die Fernsehen, die spielen so gut wie keine "alte musik" mehr!!

[@perrvito]

This guy is a genius, respect

[@BillWa]

This is one of the greatest compositions ever, It can't be understood with just a part, you need the whole 50 minute version.

[@Glargl]

Bravo bravo! Timeless!

[@9ActOFWar9]

wow, the guitar sounds awesome

[@tommorrissey3992]

This is riff of the month in Total Guitar issue 233, couldn't agree more

[@visionaryfx08]

one of my favorite music great

[@EnmaYoan]

This music is pure magic!!!!

[@EphemeralProductions]

[@davidjack6905]

[@orabidoomed]
