As a 64 year old life long fan of Mike Oldfield I have nothing but absolute admiration for this arrangement in that it dose not add embellishment but stays so true to the original that it almost extinguishable from the original recording - so much respect for their restraint to add their own interpretations
I'm also 64 and fully agree to your comment. This interpretation is very close to original one.
68. First heard in Leicester Sq, I think in 73/4 as accompaniment to the Exorcist. Made my mates stay and listen after the film was over! Have been captivated ever since (I prefer TUB2 but I did watch it live in Edinburgh Castle. One minor critique. He was no Vivian Standish but improved immensely in the second movement(?).
Does anyone think Side 2 is better. I do.
Well I'm 67 and agree with the above. Listened to the first Australian radio playing late one Sunday night sometime in 1973. Have loved Mike Oldfields' work ever since and saw him perform at his only Melbourne concert.
Sorry, I don't agree that it's almost extinguishable from the original , they have certainly added their own interpretations, not that I don't like it, I do.
I'm 64 too, and this was my first album I ever bought, this is an amazing rendition
Musicians being musicians, no audience, no distractions, the transitions are flawless. "This is what we do". Thank you.
If the universe has an orchestra of praise I’m pretty sure i will be playing the triangle 🥳
Not a concert then more like a full dress rehearsal
When I was about 16 years old, it was Mike Oldfield's compositions that awakened my love for music, and I was absolutely obsessed with Tubular Bells. I know every version by Mike himself and and quite a few by others as well, and i think this is by far is the best version other than the original. What a fantastic performance! Also a shoutout to the mixing engineer who did a brilliant job as well. Thanks for the goosebumps :)
My thoughts exactly. I have listened and listened to every version I can find but this is the best of them all.
I agree. This performance beats the original! I like Mike's later albums (especi
ally Ommadawn) much more but this version is insanely good on all levels!
I really hope young people will get inspired by this and go out find out the works of artists like Oldfield, Genesis, Yes, Camel, Zappa etc.
I'm on the other side of that. It's a poor impression of the one man original. Mixing wasn't to my taste either.
@@ArtVanAuggie I agree. I lived with the original for months when it came out. Ok, this version maybe note for note, but, put simply, what is lacking is FEEL. You can't replicate that I don't think. Respect to all the players here though, they did what they had to do, but very machine-like.

I'm wondering if it's to "clean" for you due to the nature of digital and modern recording gear vs the original being analog and older gear in general.
by far the best ever non original Tubular Bells version i heard. i grew up listening to Mike Oldfields and still listen to it. well done and a salut to all the musicians. you can see their passion for Mike Oldfield and music. thank you for sharing this 💕💕👍👍👍
You need to hear Tubular Bells for Two by two Aussie musicians Aidan Roberts and Daniel Holdsworth. Two of them perform the whole thing live and do a better job than all these musos combined.
This is absolut right that, what you say (sorry my English is not so good-Würde Lothar Matteus sagen ich nat
ürlich nicht😂❤)! i have never heard such so an Tub Bells1 Song, absolutli increable Musicians❤😂!!!
@@garytopic8807 I have listened to a clip by the Aussies, and there are recordings used!
50 years ago I was listening to the LP recording of Tubular Bells and enjoying it tremendously and now all these years later I just tremendously enjoyed this performance. The Spanish have such music in their souls... thank you so much for sharing it!
THIS is a real TRIBUTE! Playing it as it was intended by Michael Oldfield himself. Just like the real perfect thing. Thank you very much! Now I see, there is still hope that manhood will provide new talented musicians doing it "by hand". Thank you! to all the people in Barcelona! Thank you, Michael!!!
I was 16 then. Lay on my bed, earphones from the stereo. I could lose my difficult self, listening. Inspiring, peaceful, lost to the world, my "own" personal, beneficial drug. Thanks, Mike, and thanks UAB.
And like you did back then I still enjoy listening to this great tune now and then just to recapture those feelings which is what music does..
We share a similar experience, but it was TB 2 for me, lights off and I was transported to realm of emotional and spiritual magic, chills up my spine, even now it has the a power to lift me
@@slaphappy7559 TB 2 is a great LP as well actually hard to choose between them as to my preference
Reminds me must upgrade mine .
And here I thought I was the only one that did that! I was only 12 but this album floored me. This is a fantastic rendition as well, glad it popped up on my feed. Thank you musicians from UAB, this really took me back.
I'm blown away! Never hear a live performance this close to the original recording! Enhorabona! 🙌🏻👏🏻🫀
Many, many thanks to UAB for this Performance, the absolutly best composition in the world - ever!!!!!!!!! Thanks Mike, God bless you and all Musicans! Peace NOT war!
As fresh as the day iy was released. A timeless classic.
Tubular bells was the first album that I bought aged 13. That brought back so many memories. Thank you all. !!
What a marvellous performance. Well done everybody. Great musicians perform and interpret a great composition. Thank you very much UAB, it was a pleasure to watch and listen to you.
Thank you for a great performance.
A timeless masterpiece that I have loved deeply since my early childhood in the 70's.
Salutations to you, fellow travelers, who've found your way here to this rendition.
We'll never meet, but I feel you all out there on this journey, evoked in these beautiful notes.
My heartfelt best to all of you.
Bestial !!! Clavaito !!!!! Pensar que lo compuso entre los 17 y 18 años SIN saber Solfeo ni mucha Teoría Musical........Y que lo grabó con 19 tocando el TODOS los instrumentos.... Ustedes que son Músicos profesionales podrán valorarlo mejor que nadie... Yo como simple aficionado y músico de Pop Rock amateur no alcanzo a imaginar el talento , el esfuerzo , el virtuosismo .....el GENIO !!!!! necesario.....un Mozart del siglo XX....O no ? Alguien de esta orquesta quiere comentar , por favor ? Muchas gracias y felicidades, enhorabuena !!!!!
Pienso exactamente lo mismo, falta decir el mérito en la época que lo compuso, eso solo lo puede hacer un genio
Sharing at its best music
That was most scintillating, musicians at the top of their trade, the talent here is outstanding, and they played every single note perfectly, was just like listening to the album, astounding. 10/10 absolute MASTERPIECE, so epic, and not forgetting the Genuius that Is Mike Oldfield
Excellent concert. Thanks for broadcasting it live!
So brutal! Interpretació magnífica! Un gran homenatge a una música excepcional! Potser la realització podria haver mostrat una mica més l’instrument que és protagonista en cada moment, però un autentic plaer haver-ho vist i escoltat.
Yes, as someone who has experience as a camera operator I was a bit disappointed that too often the musician who is playing at the time is not being shown a decent view of them.
Beautifully and sensitively done. A brilliant performance of a brilliant work. Well done, congratulations to all musicians and for making it happen. ❤❤❤👏👏👏🙏🙏
Una fantàstica interpretació d’una obra mestra. Felicitats!
Never commented on TH-cam before but Wow this is so faithful to the original album. Sent shivers down my spine! Thank you so much for this.
Quina meravella nois!! M'han saltat les llàgrimes i tot. Quantes vegades no l'havia sentida en el meu walkman... però veure tocar aquesta obra genial així en viu encara et fa valorar-la més. Moltes gràcies per la vostra fidelitat!
Gràcies a tu, Xavier!
A true work of Art
Impresionant, magnific. Ara feia temps que no escoltava aquesta obra mestra, i ha estat un plaer. El que hagues donat per veure-ho en directe!
Encara hi ets a temps a Girona el 30/06/2023 20:00h
Una cuestion, senor. Su lengua---esta francais o portuguese? Tengo curiosidad.
@@dreadway3, it's Catalan.
👏👏👏💐💐💐
Fabuloso. Un pracer escoitarvos interpretar esta fantástica música. Parabéns a todo o grupo.
ojo! y compuesto con sólo 17 años y además tocando los instrumentos. Vaya pedazo de orquesta Opus One ( primer título de esta magna obra, hasta que descubrió las campanas tubulares en el estudio de grabación)
Escuche el original por primera vez a los 18 años, ahora tengo 51, y me sigue pareciendo una obra maestra. Gracias de todo ❤ a estos musicazos de la UAB por una interpretación sublime que me ha hecho llorar de pura emoción.
For Ever, Mike Oldfield!
An absolutely beautiful re-birth of a musical masterpiece. Huge credit to all involved.I wish I was there live to embrace it ♥️
Insanely good and true to the original. Epic performance. Can it get any better!
Extraordinària interpretació! Molt i molt meritòria. Em trec la barretina! 👏👏👏
Felicitats Opus One! Excel·lent concert!
When you see all the instruments being played by musicians without a lot of ego, it looks very impressive, and I enjoy it even more !
Tubular bells was bells was the first record I bought,now in my late sixties just hearing the first note's played,brings back memories of my youth.
Extremely well done tribute of one of the most amazing pieces of music ever written. Hopefully Mike gets a chance to see this. I also like that they stayed pretty honest to the original. I am not a fan of some of the performances that has every instrument ever created being used to add some new twist to an already perfect song. I do have a wee nit pick though. It has to do with the opening bass. Bass is obviously very important since they are using three bass players. For some reason that opening bass line sounds wrong. I don't know if the tuning is slightly altered our the strings are a different gauge or what but it doesn't sound right. Also this bass player is obviously better than Mike was when he did the original but he sounds to good and to smooth. In the original Mike played all of the instruments, some he learned for the song itself. I know this is absurd but after listening to this music for 50 years you really learn it and how it sounds. So all in all this group does an amazing job and thanks so much for sharing this with us.
Excellent, proudly in honor of Mike Oldfield ❤🔥
Fantàstic concert, moltes felicitats a tots els músics
Gracias a estos músicos. He disfrutado mucho con la interpretación del Tubular realizada por todos ellos. Felicidades y gracias a la UAB.😀😀😀
Finally, a near perfect live version of this iconic album. Been waiting 50 years for this. Thank you Mike Oldfield and all the incredible musicians who nailed this performance. Not a fan of the venue though. It would have been better in front of a live crowd.
Tuve el honor de conocer personalmente a Michael Gordon Oldfield que así es como se llama en Barcelona y posteriormente en un " inmenso " concierto en Londres...INDESCRIPTIBLE....SIMPLEMENTE UN GENIO...
The best version of Tubular Bells I've ever come across since Tubular Bells. Which means it sounded pretty much like the original, virtually no deviations from it. Bravo.
NAILED IT!!!!! No mean feat, either! Parts of the work (especially in "part 2") are the sorts of things that gives live players nightmares, too, so knowing this piece, I get what an accomplishment this is. Ensemble was super-tight, too...the only wobbles I picked up on was at the start of the second part, where you've got those interlocked ostinati at a bit slower tempo but the trick there is to communicate how the underlying metric pulse forms. And that got pulled off too, with everyone right on it when the bass finally defines the actual pulse. NOT easy.
I've been saying for literally decades that Oldfield's work needs to be taken very seriously. And given how he pushed studio tech to the absolute limit in composing and realizing these long-form compositions from the 1970s, the groundbreaking technical achievements are just as critical on this work as anything by Stockhausen, who I studied with at the beginning of the 2000s. And the fact is, I probably wouldn't have done that had it not been for Mike Oldfield's work, and especially this work in particular, causing me to wonder if I could do this too? Ya done good, y'all!!!
Sou una colla de grans músics. Una interpretació magnífica, amb rigor, i alhora, amb ànima. Moltes gràcies.
I també val a dir que la realització del vídeo és d'un nivell fora de sèrie.
Awesome. Mike Oldfield's music has been a very important cornerstone in my life, I love his music to bits. Would have been a different person without it. This briliant and loving performance makes me realize even more how briliant his music is. Hard to believe that this was his debut album recorded in a makeshift studio with instruments he found on the premises. Grazy. Thanks Mike, and thanks Xavier and friends. And thanks Hans for introducing me to this music.
I’ve played this album so much, I can dream every note…. and this is spot on
llevo unos 40 años tocando ,temas de bandas...,pero este es tan diferente,complicado y a la vez sencillo,que en ello estoy todavia,,minuto 17,,ese juego de cuerdas,,arriba abajo...etc eres musico asi que creo que entiendes lo que quiero decir ¿ o no ?bye bye
I haven't listened to _Tubular Bells_ for years but I used to know it so well it is permanently engraved in my memory. Listening to this brought back many happy memories, and everything fitted perfectly into place. A wonderful performance and tribute to a great album: thank you so much!
Gràcies! Una interpretació fabulosa.
Yes indeed! Well done everybody and thank you.
¡¡¡ Fantástico trabajo !!! Enhorabuena a todos. La obra más emblemática de Mike Oldfield.
Ojalá dentro de dos años podáis realizar el homenaje por el 50 aniversario del álbum Ommadawn, para mi, el mejor disco de toda su obra.
Saludos cordiales.
Tienes toda la razon respecto a Ommadawn.
Sisplau Ommadawn
gran propuesta 😀
La trilogia mística "Tubular Bells" "Hergest Ridge" i "Ommadawn"
Totalmente de acuerdo
La mejor obra del genial Mike Olfied es OMMADAWN
Increíble la fidelidad con la grabación original. Hay mucho trabajo y talento en esta interpretación, enhorabuena!
Well done !!! Thank you all for bringing back memories when I bought the album at Waterloo train station 50 years ago . Most of you were not born when released … so again , Thank you , Barrie … Gibraltar .
👌Excel·lent interpretació d'un clàssic contemporani, en un entorn singular. Felicitats!
Esto es sencillamente una maravilla. Incluso el mismo Mike Oldfield podría estar orgulloso de una cosa tan bien hecha. Cuanta calidad en una hora.
Interpretacion muy bien ejecutada y fiel al original. Un homenaje hecho con sinceridad y sin esperar ningún beneficio económico. Así es como debe ser. 😊
I can't begin to describe how much I enjoyed this - it is a true love letter to the original! I love the passion, freshness and accuracy that breathes new life into this extraordinary piece of music!
Excepcional! He quedat gratament sorprès! 👏👏👏👏👏
Fly High 👏👏👏 Congrats! Felicitats! Ens tornem a veure al Palau de la Música!! 😍
❤
This is the best and most faithful rendition of this that I have ever seen. All the dynamics, the guitar sounds and the orchestrations are uncannily like the original. A huge amount of work must have gone into this.
Para que resultara como salió fue un proceso de ensayos que fueron extenuantes en los primeros momentos. Esa obra de Mike Oldfleld no es nada fácil para ejecutar. Eso fue asi. De todas maneras han sido brillantes con alta concentración nota por nota, sin errores. Sigan así.
Me he quedado hipnotizado una hora viendo esto, es pura perfección. En mi canal tengo mi versión de TB parte 1 (no tiene nada que ver con esto porque aprendí música por mi cuenta y solo soy una persona). Me encantaría escucharos tocar más discos de Mike Oldfield.
WFT... Impressiant...... Estic retrocedint 40 anys quan el vaig comprar 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝
Fantàstic!!! Quina gran idea d'Opus One. Felicitats
Com a ex-estudiant de la UAB i com a músic aficionat em sento molt orgullós de la nostra Universitat. En un entorn tan "energètic" com el Sincrotró Alba i amb uns músics tan brillants com vosaltres, heu honorat aquesta obra mestra de la música. Enhorabona!!!!
I was 7 or 8 years old when I discovered the music of Mike Oldfield. It was like nothing I had previously heard. Almost a soundscape that transported me to somewhere magical and mystical.
I was hooked. I braved the rains to be at Edinburgh Castle for TB2 and the luxury of the Royal Albert Hall for TB3 (to which I took my father after a friend I was meant to be taking dropped out at the last minute).
I congratulate Mr Mike Oldfield for having composed this masterpiece of modern music. Whilst music survives long past its composers demise, I believe that in the next century this will be looked at the same way as we look at Bach, Beethoven and Tchaikovsky. It will live on. Unlike the 3 minute pop wonders that currently fill the radio waves.
I congratulate the musicians who have played this at UAB. It is masterful and as close to the original as I've ever heard.
A wonderful tribute to our maestro.
Una maravilla de interpretación, he disfrutado mucho escuchándolo, un gran homenaje a este disco que llevamos años atesoréndolo, felicidades a todo los músicos, el sonido es espectacular, en estéreo. Lo volveré a escuchar.
Fantàstic!! Gran homenatge!
Jo el vaig comprar quan tenia 14.
Toni
Incredible! Such a precision, such a feeling. I'm blown away.
Oh mein Gott, ich bekomme Gänsehaut....ist diese Musikkomposition wirklich schon vor über 50 Jahre entstanden...ich bekomme Tränen der Rührung in meinen Augen...vielen Dank für das Teilen dieses unnachahmlichen Ereignisses❤️❤️❤️Liebe herzliche Grüße aus Deutschland 🇩🇪
Piel de gallina!!. Perfecta ejecución de una obra maestra del s.XX. Gracias Opus One. Gracias Mike Oldfield

Moltes gràcies!!
No hi han calificatius. La gallina de piel…👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Espectacular concert en un espai que embolcalla a tot@s els músics
Enhorabona. Moltes felicitats ✨🥂
Molt interessant el tema amb la instrumentació i l,entorn li dona un caire futurista i atractiu!
Magistral! Enhorabona!
It's only when you see the album being performed live that you truly appreciate what an astonishing achievement the original production is... I'd like to think that Mike would approve of this! 🙂👍
Obra maestra, lo habéis bordado 💯🎼🎶🎸🥏
😊Uffffffff quin bon vespre m esteu donant❤
Para los que superamos la cincuentena fue una maravilla; estuve viéndolo en directo en Barcelona y todavía lo recuerdo como uno de los mejores directos que he visto en mi vida.
en el 1994 en la antigua plaza de toros de la Monumental en Barcelona,
Qué suerte habéis tenido por haber podido presenciar ese concierto. Es una de las pocas cosas por las que me pesa haberme ido de Barcelona.
Simplemente perfecto! La versión en directo más "igual" al disco, sublime. Moltes felicitats!
Enhorabuena. Fidelísima interpretación de una obra maestra que sigue tan vigente como hace 50 años.
Moltes gràcies a la UAB, i especialment a en Juan Carlos Romero i la Virginia Luzón, per fer-ho possible.
Bravo!!! Moltes felicitats!!🤗👏👏👏
Gràcies Àngel!
Many are the nights I've fallen asleep (or possibly passed out) wrapped in my sleeping bag, staring at the spiralling stars of the Milkyway overhead while listening to the music of Tubular Bells. It all comes back to me in a rush.
Mesmerizing! I'm old enough to remember the astonishing impact this piece of music had when it was released, and how it resonated in the music of contemporary musicians. This superb performance demonstrated that its magic has not in the least diminished. Thank you to all those that made the project possible.
¡Joya! Gracias por la interpretación de esta obra maestra el día de su 50 aniversario
Impecable, una delicia ver y escuchar todo el Tubular Bells interpretado por una orquesta como esta. Extraordinario!!!
Wow!
Magistral !!! Gràcies UAB !!! Gran homenatge al MESTRE MIKE OLDFIELD !!!
Gran treball en un lloc magnífic.
Gràcies a tots/es els/les participants i organitzadors. Visca la Música!
Nope, this arrangement is so far from the accepted and original piece it's hard to recognise it has any familiarity at all!
Some well known pieces of music do not lend themselves to radical reinterpretation, this being a good example.
No reflection on these wonderful musicians themselves, of course, but some things are better left as they were originally written.
I know this album very well!
I retraced 51 minutes of emotions.....!
Impeccable....congratulations!👏👏👏👏
Many anniversary versions created during last 2 years. But I have never heard something that professional, so true, true to the original with such an attention to details.
It is so pure, not overproduced, no fancy reverbs, just as it was in 70s. You really mastered it! The arrangement is really well done and the guy who did it must have spent a lot of time listening to the original. It lacks mistakes that are heard alot throughout youtube. Congrats!!!
Un homenatge espectacular al Tubular Bells👏👏👏👏
Bravo, nois. Un gran treball !!
I remember this from nearly fifty years ago, heard the album on a Sunday public radio broadcast while driving across the desert they must have played the entire album without pause. The sun was just coming up and I was driving west.
Tubular Bells changed my life in many ways that I can't describe. This concert brought back a myriad of dreams, all good. Thank you Mike. x
Memorable! Felicitacions i agraïments a parts iguals per aquesta meravella!!
Enhorabuena! Grandísimo trabajo. El maestro estará orgulloso❤
I'm also 64 and I fully agree with nearly all comments.
But I do think this is as close to the original as can be,
given the fact that the original was made with multiple recordings nearly all instruments
played only by Mike whereas this is one recording of multiple instruments played by multiple musicians.
Given the complexity of the compositions is no joke and a true testament to their talent.
Which clearly proves the utter 70's genius Mike is, as today we no longer seem to have.
Like many others, Vangelis, Jean Michel Jarre, to name just two we seem to lose them one by one to be
replaced by despicable IA that lacks any form of artistic creativity
I really enjoyed this performance, true excellence.
50 años y tan fresco como el primer día. Esto es música atemporal
Un homenatge preciós, moltes gràcies, sou fantàstics.🎉
Excelente interpretación. Gran homenaje para los 50 años.
I have been listening to this album since I was a kid in the 70s, and this is fantastic. So well done. Bravo, ladies and gentlemen! I totally agree, this location really set the mood for the music.
Perfect, exactly as I remember the vinyl record I bought so many years ago, the only difference being the narrator's voice being different, the musicians and singers have done excellent work, credit to Mike Oldfield for such a brilliant creation.
