Mike Oldfield - The Bell

[@CGDreamsTutorials]

In 2024 coming back this this reminds me of why music was so special back then. Call it nostalgia or just listening to pure genius within the sound of the acoustic instrument from talent of the past.

[@Inian0]

Das Lieblingslied meines Vaters. Wurde heute auf seiner Beerdigung gespielt😢 Ich hoffe er hört jetzt diese musikalische Perfektion im Himmel

[@markusjahnz9097]

Ich gehe stark davon aus, daß die da oben so eine göttliche Musik hören.

[@Mixxathon]

The smile on master Oldfields face at the end of this piece says it all. It is not so easy to pull this off as perfectly as they do so his small sight of relief is testament of a mission well performed. I totally love this whole concert.

[@SalvaPP]

Excelente apreciación yo pienso igual 😊

[@tangerine825]

Genius ! Poland Love Mike Oldfield ;-)

[@Atomic_Haggis]

Saw this live at Edinburgh Castle. It was a phenomenal concert, and the BBC rebroadcast it about an hour after the concert ended for everyone to watch for free in the UK, so I got to watch it all again from the pub! You can't really hear it on the concert footage, but the roar that went up from the crowd as Mike struck the tubular bells even took him by surprise, which is why he turned round and mis-hit the bell right after! So good, especially when the the pipers came out. Goosebump city.

[@annewandahl8420]

Ohhh lucky you. It must have been among the greatest days of your life, I guess. I have lost count of all the times, I’ve seen this concert on video and have actually noticed the roar from the audience, when Mr. Oldfield starts playing the Tubular Bells, but until I read your comment, I’ve never noticed that the roar surprises him so much that he misses a bell.

[@Atomic_Haggis]

@@annewandahl8420 Yeah, it was such a fantastic memory and my favourite concert of all time.

[@alleykeosheyan4779]

OMG that sounds SO amazing - the atmosphere must have been off the chain! Since I'm across the pond I would love to see him perform somewhere like the Red Rock Amphitheatre in Denver, Colorado. Probably never happen, but a girl can dream.

[@javivilli]

I could watch this concert on spanish TV live. At least they told that on tv. I didn't know that the broadcast was just when the concert had ended. After several months I could attend to the concert live in the tour. The only concert live I could see of Mike Oldfield. It was magical.

[@jeanfrancocamara8654]

I wish I were there . Its amazing !!!

[@ccdm5143]

I've listened to this song thousands of times since I was a child and even now I can't get enough of it... it gives you energy, mood and strength to move on, dancing through life and through all the everyday troubles. Thanks, Mike.

[@markusjahnz9097]

Was Menschen in der Lage sind, so eine göttliche Musik zu machen. Das zeigt mir das Gefühl und Fantasie das wichtigste auf der ganzen Welt ist. Danke mike

[@ZanetaTRANCEEEE000]

God must have had so much pleasure experiencing it. So powerful. One of my favourite videos on KZbin. 🧡

[@CyberLeader91]

What I wouldn't give to see and hear this live

[@MarcoHessler]

MO, a real genius. Nothing more to say.

[@mauriciovergarasanhueza6783]

Mi padre le encanta esta musica, desde pequeño siempre la he escuchado, y ahora soy un fanatico mas de Mike Oldfield, gracias a mi padre (nací el 2001), lo digo porque es increíble que esta musica pueda sonar tan bien aunque pasen años, décadas, milenios, y jamás pasará de moda

[@36deivit]

Este video resume a la perfección lo que es "la música".... una auténtica obra maestra, sólo para genios..... Mike Oldfield es un mago creativo como nadie, esta combinación de joyas sólo lo puede hacer él

[@CheetoSenior]

Maestro.

[@miguelaranda1169]

Sí.

[@matiasf.816]

Como encontré este comentario jajajajaja

[@arev1209]

Dieses Stück Musik gehört schon seit Jahren zu meinen absoluten Favoriten!!!

[@Humalien87]

Tubular Bells II is still the best. And this is by far the best track of TBII! I was just a kid when my dad listen to this in the car. I also enjoyed it very much. Every time I listen to Tubular Bells II I think back to those times:)

[@KNOPFLERSGOD]

Mike Oldfield. Wonderful musician, wonderful guitarist, musical genius.

[@joycedixon3533]

This is my all time favourite xxx

[@bimbo12381]

Hela konserten var fantastisk.Jag köpte originalvideon senare. Den har jag säkert tittat på 100 gånger. Har någon konserten inspelad på DVD.

[@madarko44]

The guitar player is perfect !!! And the bells ???? UNBELIEVABLE !!!!!

[@user-Gre1enApp2le]

What a song. Brilliantly made and sounds great live. Tubular Bells II is a masterpiece of an album 🎵😀

[@lukedavison8229]

love this! it holds so many memories for me and reminds me of my late father. RIP Dad

[@StringsOfRage]

Luke Davison me too!! I lost my Dad back in 2015, my dad loved Mike Oldfield - especially this song. I mean he would blast this out of his speakers in the late 90’s happy memories although I was only young. Probably about 7-8 years old. I’m 30 now. Thanks for sharing your memories too and sorry for your loss regardless of when it was

[@amandavaughan2133]

Me too, I only just rediscovered it and it brought back so many memories of my late dad, quite emotional and unexpected! Those were happy days❤

[@ro55do]

The master with a masterpiece

[@robshef718]

Mike Oldfields "signature sound"....as presented in 'The Bell'. I just cannot get enough of this fantastic and beautiful piece.

[@Trancelvania100]

Never in a million years could i ever imagine this to be played live and sound like the CD,, what an amazing effort,, how fucking wrong was i,,,,

[@robert55012]

This was the world premiere of Tubular Bells II at Edinburgh Castle on 04 September 1992. I'm happy to say that it was even better watching and listening to it live.

[@Atomic_Haggis]

I was there too! It was exceptional.

[@ConcertBaer]

In fact, this is really the best Oldfield-Tube-show ever ! Unbelievable that this musicial genius had played 23 instruments on Tube 1 alone... in 1973! I saw Mike the first time in 1984 in Saarbrucken when I was 15 years old. It was my first LIVE discovery. Mike weard the same PUMA sportshoes like me... and in the air there was a funny smell... last thing I was remembering was that Simon Phillips on a snowwhite TAMA double bass drums kit was bombastic.. that sounded great...

[@mrdee0]

This felt so futuristic at the time! The way he says 'DIGITAL SOUND PROCESSOR' and so on...amazing..still feels fresh!

[@asuncionarcosgarcia6385]

A great tune.. One of my favorite songs.. Thanx a lot.

[@XX-zk2lf]

I remember watching the PBS telethon of this in the 90s. We didn't have enough money to buy it, so my mom recorded it on VHS.

[@alleykeosheyan4779]

Well done, Mom!

[@stevekinsman2650]

Gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.

[@polishsilverstacker3246]

I had on VHS cassette but haven't played it for ages. That was one of the first music videos/concerts I saw in Polish TV after fall of communism.. Fantastic concert.

L'œuvre d'une vie, pour notre plus grand bonheur. Mike est vraiment le meilleur

[@DunjaGadjukina]

Огромное количество музыкантов и техников трудится над созданием шедевра... и посмотрите: это им не просто нравится, а они откровенно кайфуют! Нельзя не испытывать счастья, создавая подобную музыку.

[@viktorfisher403]

Вы правы! Великолепно исполнено, с душой, на легком нерве! Одна из моих самых любимых композиций у Майка Олдфилда!

[@sumadijabre]

Nema lepše muzike od ove! Jedan je tata Mike.

[@400Salvatore]

Per me il miglior pezzo ( armonia, bellezza della vita, della donna, dell'esistenza tra pace e lealtà ) :-)

[@17587419]

I never get tired if this music. Like u Medieval jim, I listen to this pretty much every day. Very relaxing.

[@sergiohtc]

What a surprise!!! I have a cousin Down Under. And it seems that it runs in the vains. I love Mike's music, too. This guy is far above the rest, paraphrasing his wonderful tune "far above the clouds". Best regards from Panzerfaust100 to Panzer20041889. Let's love and enjoy good music!!!

[@vigdiskoppergard608]

Fantastic!!👍👌💯

[@dewi4love]

Not many musicians can invent their own new kind of music like Oldfield did.

[@HollowGolem]

+dewi4love I don't know if you can say he invented his own type of music. He certainly wouldn't. He said in an interview he thinks of himself as an old-school symphonic composer who happens to treat things like electric guitars and synthesizers as orchestral instruments.

[@mariustutunariu5793]

I*d like to add Sting aswell

[@ciskadevilliers9936]

I am absolutely crazy about Mike Oldfield!!!!!

[@Jompani42]

This one has always been my favourite of his works. It's kind of the track that really started my enjoyment of his music. A friend had brought the cd for his visit and we had it playing in the background. And when this started, I was kind of cought :)

[@TopazShane]

Entertaining as hell and the music just makes me drift off to another world. Love it.

[@dwfrolov]

This music bares the soul. Divine.

[@MiddleAgedPixie]

I have this on video and can not play it anymore. I am so happy to of found it on here. It always makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck! One of my favourite tracks from Mike Oldfield!

[@Amarok365]

The concert is available as a DVD, as well as a double DVD with TB II and TB III.

[@MiddleAgedPixie]

Oh thanks! I will definatly be getting these :)

[@markz5161]

Like Maurice Ravel's Bolero, this is a beautiful piece. Thanks for sharing!

[@thestartrekfiles7460]

I love this song so much !!! I wish I knew the original version as there are so many.

[@Falaxuper]

Hi! You had the same situation as me. When I was a child, my dad listened to this in a car when we were going on holiday. When I heard this first, I didn't like it at all. But, as I was listening to this more and more, this song just washed my mind. Now I love The Bell, Tubular Bells, rest of Mike Oldfield's pieces and all the progressive rock.

[@Savoy1984]

Takes me right back to this time period.

[@warren6815]

Damn. I remember my parents getting this on VHS back in 1992. I watched it over and over and over, fascinated by all the different instruments and the sounds they'd make, and how amazing they all sounded being played together!

Yes...AWESOME!!!!
