Mike Oldfield playing some of his great tunes live on TV

[@davidpegram8725]

Mike Oldfield has got to one of the best guitarist ever

[@r.fantom]

Check out "RM Tocak"

[@colonelrobertshaw9170]

he sure is

[@Frizio]

Great as a guitarist, but even better as a composer, in my view. He's the Tarrega of the north.

[@gerardmcmahon2064]

All bow down to the legend that is Mike Oldfield

[@rush4242]

The acoustic version of Sentinel is amazing

[@peterfussenegger2058]

Mike Oldfield is the Best!

[@raymondvaughan6262]

So underated guitarist fine playing should go down with the best

[@breatheinmoonglade]

He is not underrated. He created many guitar hits and was top musician in GB for many years. But he is not mainstream musician so yeah. You can think Mike is underrated.

[@ContactBaroqueHall]

He is not underrated amongst musicians. He is secretly cited sometimes as their main influence but they are afraid to admit it because Oldfield is such a giant, so tend to be silent about it. It reminds me of a joke that classical musicians have: They are asked “who is your favourite composer” and they list a few, and then they are asked “But what about Bach”, and they reply “Oh I assumed you mean who is the best other than Bach, as we always have him as #1 just by assumption so never mention it”.

[@exmetal7918]

Love the tubular bells 2 acoustic version.

[@eggman1978]

All round Music genius and one damn fine guitarist.

[@KNOPFLERSGOD]

Stunning. Genius. Legend.

[@michaeln3023]

Better than Knopfler

[@aaronblackmore]

[@nrsynth8945]

Plutôt que de parler de son dernier album et de chanter/jouer en play back comme la plupart des artistes, lui se pointe avec sa guitare, tranquille, et joue en direct des extraits, montrant au passage que c'est un killer à la sèche. Respect et admiration éternels pour ce génie incomparable

[@johanpeeters1849]

an exceptionnal guitar player!

[@progfan5239]

| feel privileged to recognise his talent.

[@rafap.3393]

Un genio, músico excepcional! muy infravalorado, a pesar del reconocimiento que ya tiene.

[@maverrober]

No puedo articular palabra. El mejor musico de la historia, su nombre estara junto al de Mozart y otros grandes.

[@Cybi0]

No existo "el mejor musico de la historia" ... but JS Bach is way above Wolfgang Amadeus in my opinion, along with Scarlatti, François Couperin, Pancrace Royer and others baroque composers. On the guitar, you've got John Mc Laughlin, Jimi Hendrix, Alexandre Lagoya, Steve Hackett, Roxane Elfasci (you should check out her Debussy), Steve Vaï, Frank Zappa, Sylvain Luc, Birelli Lagrène and so many other great players it would take hours to name them all. On the harpsichord, i would recommend to you Chiara Massini and Jean Rondeau ♥ PS: do i need to speak about Jaco Pastorius on the fretless bass, Toots Thielemans on the harp, Joe Zawinul on the keyboards, Wayne Shorter or Michael Brecker on the saxophone ?... and so on, and so on ...

[@matslarsson5988]

That Discovery solo is like having pure talent poured into your ears!!!

[@almendralejotj8801]

Que Genio, valla manera de crear música, es un monstruo. Es capaz de crear y fusionar, rock progresivo con un toque flamenco andaluz y ritmos africanos. Lo que hace en este vídeo es increíble.

[@krzysztofmichalik9310]

Why some ppl telling about great guitarists don't mention Mike Oldfield even if they are aware of the fact he's great musician? IMO he is especially great guitarist with his own style and very specific sound, beside being great composer. It's enough to listen to several notes played by him to recognize that it is Mike Oldfield who play these several notes (gears, amps doesn't matter here).

[@albertchailleux9719]

La créativité de ce monstre sacré..me restera en mémoire a jamais..

[@amritawhitman8112]

Thank you! Someone just shared it in one of Mike Oldfield's fan groups on Facebook. Very nice to see all those clips together. Until I rediscovered his music in November 2020 (fan from 70s - 90s) I didn't know he ever did any interviews, so it's been fun for me to find these videos!

[@marinbianchi1547]

SEI GRANDE MIKE OLDFIELD !!!!!! Anche come chitarrista SEI IMMENSO !!!!!!

[@davewonnacott3407]

Grew up listening to Tubular Bells. Still listen to it at least once a week to this day

[@LauradelCarmenRíos]

❤Es un verdadero mago tocando la guitarra, es muy bueno el guapo Mike Oldfield. Mis felicitaciones.

[@daniel-mircea]

Astonishing!👍

[@Runciter]

Enjoy this. It will never come back...

[@alenak3424]

Thank you BAMpeR! MO is brilliant and unique.

[@Realmasterorder]

Awesome this deserves at the very least hundreds of times more views.

[@rollonsummertime]

THE greatest

[@LauradelCarmenRíos]

❤Soy una admiradora del guapo Mike Oldfield y siempre lo he considerado un gran guitarrista, quizá el mejor. Saludos.

[@jesusbonsom3528]

The Best.....! ! !

[@przemekkwiatkowski144]

I love this small section after Taurus III which ended up in Amarok (the first clip was from 1983).

[@jjmoks6068]

THE BEST YES , THE BEST ...

[@outdoormarkbrandenburg2373]

love the discovery solo

[@enricopasquinelli]

Il migliore di sempre

[@almendralejotj8801]

Si posiblemente sea el mejor músico que yo escuché y en alguna ocasión tuve la suerte de verle en algún concierto, y es mi favorito y de los que más me impacto. Es uno de los mejores del siglo XX.

[@Robbo57]

Marvellous

[@nikolaus1691]

Ich werde nicht aufgeben, bis ich das alles auch kann!

[@jeshkam]

Genius.

[@jeanninekeller5272]

Legend. Hero.

[@verdantia]

[@lebethonii6683]

Mike Oldfield wins!

[@MrAmarok7]

GOAT

[@ezequielfdezlarru606]

Uno de los mejores compositores y guitarristas de todos los tiempos.

[@kainkai007]

Media ! Did u ever noticed mike is the best on all instruments ?

[@Cybi0]

Not the best on any instruments he plays (there is NO best player), but the number of instruments he plays very well is clearly astounding, that is true.

[@Dodzfather]

2:54 Jaw dropping LITERALLY!!!!

[@absurdengineering]

Do we need 2-3 guitars? Nah. Get Mike.

[@CALLE92JOHANSSON]

My face is like the TV host @ 0.42

Why is she holding the mic to his face?

[@absurdengineering]

That’s some r/mirin material, both before and behind the screen!

[@MartijnvanderHoeven1983]

I want to have lessons from him ! He, I see RTL4...

[@runninrebel1520]

Mike hit that G spot 💦

[@TheAnimeist]

Came hear to validate my comment that Mike Oldfield is the most underrated guitarist/musician, not Frank Zappa. Although I love listening to the Mothers.

[@benkennington8941]

Check out Phil Keaggy. You'll be glad you did.

[@TheAnimeist]

@@benkennington8941 Oh wow. Thanks for the tip. Unbelievable how I've never heard of Phil Keaggy before.

[@aviramdj]

At the end you can see him wearing an apple watch ? i knew it !

[@victoralamar]

Woow

[@74Bjoerni]

Taurus III

[@paraclop422]

What's the first music title ?

[@arushfan195]

I think it’s a part of Amarok (1990) ^^

[@anthonyoneill4291]

Taurus III from Crises.

[@KNOPFLERSGOD]

It's 2 pieces spliced together, the 1st is from Taurus 3 and the 2nd is a small piece of Amarok, which is a 60 minute instrumental 😮

[@pitpit64]

So underrated just like Rory Gallagher

[@jorgemartinezesquiva3838]

ostiaaaa

[@kadir.61]

0:43 she is melting

[@benkennington8941]

And vaguely reminiscent of Princess Diana

[@BobCarlsoncrazybear]

Mike would be knighted in England, Unfortunately living in Bahamas Mike produced albums their did not pay British tax so is in what they call "tax exile" . Why they instead have him open for Olympics or have his songs play when the athletes enter

[@michaeln3023]

He is not one of the best Guitarist's- he IS the only best on this Planet. For me better than Clapton and Knopfler

[@michaeln3023]

@@yaroslavkasyanenko8104 Thats true. I can't understand that

[@ivanvelky11]

what is name of first song ?

[@luisrivas9034]

Taurus III.

[@KNOPFLERSGOD]

And bits from Amarok.

[@nrdl1431]

mike ist j. bach der pop musik

[@peterfussenegger2058]

I like singing musik,but was he do on the guitarre is incedibel, only Tommy Emmanuei from Australia is better,but he play just Guitar,Mick Oldfield can play all Insruments .
