- Mike Oldfield took the world of music by storm at the age of 19 in 1973 with the release of his debut album "Tubular Bells", which hit the No.1 spot in numerous countries and has gone on to sell in excess of 16 million copies worldwide. A naturally shy man it was not until the end of the decade that he began to play live on a regular basis. In 1981, by now a confident stage performer, he embarked on his European Adventure Tour which took in the Montreux Festival in July, where he performed in front of an enthusiastic sold out audience.

I had a feeling of accomplishment yesterday whilst taking my two kids (13 & 16 y/o) to band practice. My daughter selected tubular bells to listen to for the journey with my sons instant approval. My work as a parent just reached new heights.
awesome
That's great! I know every generation has said this but what most of the kids listen to now a days is some real crap. It's good to know there are parents cultivating the 'finer' tastes in music in their offspring :)
Great stuff. Play them 'Wish you were here' album by Pink Floyd next
Well not my son but my nephew(10) is really likes this music. Is introducing him to Al Di Meola, Vai & Keith Jarrett too hardcore, too fast?
@@Pow3llMorgan You must be "old"... that's OK... I'm getting there myself... ;-) For juxtaposition, when Jazz as a music genre was up and coming, it was often likened as "the devil's music." Now... it's often seen as "old people's music." A hilarious contrast with the benefit of time. But yes, every generation thinks the music they grew up on is the zenith of the art form.
Mike Oldfield, the seemly forgotten genious progressive musician, who never appears in all those rankings.
But he has every right to be mentioned in one line with Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd and few hands full of other masters of Progressive Rock.
Forgotten? Yeah okay boomer
well said
You left out Frank Zappa..........but then again you foking knowitalls always do!
@@zapkvr that made me laugh
Sem dúvida meu caro
Mike Oldfield, genius at work. For me, the greatest guitarist/composer, he doesn't get enough credit either, easily one of the greatest guitarists ever, and a shame he is so underappreciated.
Oldfield, Jarre, Vangelis, Faltermeyer, Hancock, even Kraftwerk etc don't get enough credit.
'The Songs of Distant Earth' is one of my favourite albums.
My first "western" vinyl ever. In the early 80's in communist Poland it was an absolute rarity. A place forever in my heart guaranteed.
Greetings from Alabama USA.
Music! A universal language!!!
In America we love this too.
not bad start for western imperialistic music, not bad at all
He plays the guitar like a bloody keyboard. What a legend.
I was 9 years old, 1980, living in Northland NZ, no electricity, a battery powered tape deck and tubular bells was the only tape i had, used to play it at night and went to sleep with it every night.
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Sweet! Thanks for sharing. What a great memory!
Respect!
yeah we had a cassette of this too but it got MINCED when I was about 6!
in Panguru or Pawarenga ?
While I was waiting to hear Mike Oldfield perform this at the Macroom Mountain Festival in the late 1970s, I watched some crazy roady climb up into the scaffolding with a beer, and sit there above the Dubliners while he drank it. Then the poor bastard had to climb down and set up all the instruments for Mike O all by himself. I was unhappy that the big star was having this poor grunt do all that set up alone. Of course, the crazy roady turned to be the Man himself! An awesome performance even before a note was played!
I was there great memories 😅
i consider mike to be the 'best" guitarist/composer ever
that is true 👍
DAMN this is some complex music -- and Oldfield wrote every note, arranged every bar, played every instrument in the studio album. Why I owned Tubular Bells and Ommadawn. There's just nothing out there like it. Wanna see truly PROGRESSIVE rock, this is it.
That was a great era for music with all these bands playing a mix of written music and improvisation, Yes, Genesis, ELP, King Crimson, Soft Machine. Much more interesting that straight 4/4 rock with three chords.
But by the same time, all the Miles Davis sidemen formed their own jazz-rock bands, Return to forever (Corea), Mahavishnu Orchestra (McLaughlin), Weather Report (Shorter/Zawinul), Getaway (DeJohnette), that was really interesting music. In 1980, a young musician started a band, the Pat Metheny Group. Metheny has never stopped to compose since, and wrote a lot of tunes, often suites. Incredible guitarist.
Try these bands if you love music.
@@ofdrumsandchords ce que tu appelles "straight 4/4 rock with chords", était une réaction, le punk sera encore plus radical en réaction à l'embourgeoisement de ces vieilles stars du rock/psyché/progressive etc. de 60 début 70, que dire du blues ? tu ne peux pas juger une musique au nombre d'accords ou à la complexité de sa structure, c'est absurde! A mon sens, plus une musique est élaborée, moins elle touche de monde. Mais ça ne veut pas dire qu'elle est moins"intéressante."
@@gillesbourgeois5348 j'ai un point de vue de musicien pro, ce n'est pas du tout ici un argument d'autorité, mais quand tu as énormément étudié la musique, t'as un peu de mal à t'intéresser à des chansons où t'as déjà tout entendu au bout de dix secondes.
Tu parles de réaction à l'embourgeoisement, on a eu ça aussi avec le free jazz, qui était plus politique que musical.
Pour moi, les artistes sont ceux qui font évoluer le langage en apportant des choses nouvelles. Comme la plupart des musiciens de jazz, j'ai une formation classique, et je suis fan de Bach ou de Stravinsky. Tous les grands musiciens classiques ou jazz ont intégré ce qui existait et l'ont poussé plus loin.
Donc, on peut difficilement faire abstraction du langage utilisé quand on parle d'art musical. Le rock, c'est le langage du XVIIe siècle joué avec des grattes électriques.
@@ofdrumsandchords merci pour ces réponses super impliquées et simplement pour ta considération. Je pense que la difficulté chez les jazzmen avec leur bagages théorique et technique c'est de retrouver l'innocence du débutant quand il s'agit de créer et d' émouvoir. Le rap permet à des non musiciens de s'exprimer, et c'est pas rien, le problème sera toujours l'intention, pourquoi joue t-on de la musique ou pourquoi jettons-nous nos textes sur des machines. ..
L'intention si elle est honnête et sincère est toujours valable artistiquement,disons: considérable; et je considère quand même que la virtuosité est un piège.
I'm 62 old rockandroll guy and I remember this from way back, beautiful music.
It made Branson a multi million air! Now Branson has become a sick destroyer of the most beautiful people of the world!
I had never realised just how melodic this composition was until I heard it again today for the first time in over 30 years. Timeless classy work.
Mike Oldfield - guitar
Morris Pert - drums
Rick Fenn - guitar / bass
Tim Cross - keyboards
Mike Frye - percussion
Maggie Reilly - vocals
Thanks
RIP Morris and Tim :(
They live forever here :D
God Maggie is stunning. Gorgeous AND the voice of an angel. Yummo.......!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍
This is for this stage session. About the album, every instrument was played and recorded by Mike alone with a rudimentary overdub.
For a moment I thought Fenn was Darryl Struemer (sp?) of Phil Collins/Genesis fame...
Beautiful guitar playing and that thumping bass line, hypnotic, well done Mike, a truly underated musician.
Real genius and he was 19 years old or less when he created this beautiful masterpiece! I am really impressed to watch him perform! Great video❤
Only 19?????!!!!!
Started on the concept when he was 14
So great ,are sure ,19 ,popopopppp😮
This is unknown by most of people today ... and should be when comparing to soup they call music now !
Absolutely no idea why this came up in my recommendations but I loved this album as a kid, just like everyone else. Thank you for this. Masterpiece, both studio and this live version.
I had the LP as a youngster. Listened to it over and over
I was there in 73 trying to find my way, I have made it to 71 and it is still so fine.
71 too still don't want to grow up.
Dude this was in 1981 though ...... maybe your really only 63 ?
@@jamesjordan139 The album was released in 1973. I we weren't referring to this particular concert.
@@neuromantoo 62 and can't believe it! Still a teenager inside! 😜
Tubular Bells was the first album that i buyed. 50 years later i'm still a huge fan of Mike Oldfield. :)
Mike Oldfield is a seriously under-rated guitar player...this performance is magical
Indeed
Yep.
HE'S "POSSESED".🎆🎇🙏🎇🎆
THEN AN EXORCISM TOOK PLACE ..
MIKE OLDENFIELD WAS NO LONGER STRICKEN WITH AGORAPHOBIA....
IN ONE MAGICAL MEDITATION SESSION
He’s an everything player really
He's no Glen Campbell. That guy is a freaking machine.
QE2 was the first album I ever bought; then I discovered Tubular Bells, Hergest Ridge, Ommadawn, Crises etc. This man is a creative and musical MASTER. This is the FIRST time I've seen something of his live. LOVE IT! In an age of musical biopics, Mike Oldfield deserves his own mini-series.
Discovered it in 1973..... and still loving it.....Anybody else from that era?
Oh yes! I would have been 19/20 years of age
I heard it then. I heard it beneath a desert sky at 2 am beneath stars and winter cloud
As I returned home a neighbouring girl was playing it on a new cd machine. It blew my mind.
I was 17 when it came out, and I bought it then, quickly followed by all the other early Virgin releases.
I actually heard the Viv “grand piano” part on KILT AM radio in Houston when it came out. I was in third grade and was stunned
I was 15 driving my first car , had tha 8 track
Absolutely incredible. 100 years from now people will still marvel at Oldfield's genius.
What a Performance from Mike. The Band is on fire. Best Tubular bells Version.
True1! Unreal! I will listen to it again right now and then some, So much to feel.
Why am I discovering this only now ?? This version is amazing !!!
Most people never get past the opening notes, but if you listen to the whole composition you get the full genius of the music.
The bass guitar part is so important in this piece and is so nicely executed during the live.
Congratulations to Mike Oldfield, the musicians, and especially the bassist!
This is the best bass intro then i cant listen to oldfield guitar...
He's like a machine, isn't he? Just relentless and omnipresent executing his job to perfection, over and over again with no fuss at all.
The best bass I've ever heard in my life
maybe the best bass intro of all time!
A little spotty - You can hear Oldfield drag him along perfectly once he starts playing…
2023! And I'm still digging it. 🥰😍
4:10 - 4:44, Goosebumps every time.
One of the most beautiful pieces of guitar music of all time in my opinion.
Gregory i agree it's a piece of art..as the whole song..the first time i took ecstasy was listening tubular bells..unique experience.
Just the mere fact this guy plays over 100 instruments is remarkable!
no he doesn’t
It's like the Exorcist. My friend saw the show live in the 70s. He said Michael was incredible at switching instruments. He was practically running round the whole show.
1 - it was the theme to The Exorcist and 2- he played all the fucking instruments!
@@benmccabe286 its actually a happy theme, the exorcist made it scary
@@benmccabe286 vsauce explain how it become scary th-cam.com/video/9Vmwsg8Eabo/w-d-xo.html
@@SalmonBucket I didn't say it was scary. I said it was the theme to The Exorcist. People who saw the film came to associate Tubular Bells with a scary movie!
@@benmccabe286 i know u didn't say that, i just wanna let others people who didn't know will read this reply and they will know the theme is actually happy theme and not scary theme, i just wanna find place to say it
This was the first large scale use of the Moog stylizer filter concept across many instruments as a production release. Massive hit.
Mike’s playing is amazing. The sheer creative talent is insane. Listening to this you’re hearing the bridge between classical and even some modern dance music but I don’t think even today, 50 years on, anyone comes close
A magician on the guitar at such a young age. Truly amazing. Stunningly talented.
What a fantastic piece of music. Mike Oldfield plays the guitar with such passion and commitment. Simply by listening to him play and watching him engage with the superb musicians around him takes you to another dimension. This is real music to be enjoyed by all.
Man Yes!!!
chillin:chillout at wan jet and ever ad-hoc spontan {[( brain/audio for sale not possýbl : ýeaaaaaaa ! )]}:)🌐🌏🌎🌍
Me too/ he takes me back and the girl singing is mine just with blond hair and Jutta is her name. Same girl, same dress all the same just different hair. Mike Oldfield very special! Much love from Germany.
Genius. Was ten years old when I discovered Tubular Bells in 1979. Been a massive Oldfield fan ever since.This is a great performance. One of my faves of the many live versions of TB.
Real music & real musicians. Cant get any better. The music of today are not even close to this and never will
The human brain never fails to amaze me and I am convinced that accomplished musicians abe a cut above us ordinary plebs as they can cordinate their fingers and recall from memory every note in the correct sequence in real time, I will always in in Awe and Mike Oldfield is something extra special
What a performance.. No effect, fire, lasers... just pure music.... awesome.
Why not? Mike takes laser beams off his guitar. the band puts many full8hd effects
It’s a Troll “Like” comment for Ratings. You know, the same tired No Cell Phones in the audience type garbage....
That guitar playing....
Imagine how much time and effort was put into preparation for this gig. This is practically a different version of TB. The amount of rehearsing... mind blowing.
I bet the rehearsing for this was grinding. Watching the entire show and seeing the complexity in cues for all of these songs is insane...let alone having to memorize all that. 1 drink max before hand for this gig.
This gig is still amazing, december 2019!
No
WHAT!!??!!!?
Still one of my all time favorite videos. It's a masterpiece.
Amazing version here....I had not heard this in YEARS....what a talent....
A true classic from the 20th Century!
I never would have thought a band could pull this off live, but they did.
A real Musical Genius and an amazing guitar player
This was fantastic! I remember loving /tubular Bells when it was released as a record...it's taken me decades to stumble upon this live show!
He makes that guitar sounds like a violin, astonishing!
Mike is the nicest person you could meet. We drank together in Pimlico before he joined Kevin Ayres & the Whole World.
Probably the best version.
+satellite964 erm... what!? you MUST be kidding...
check the expoased version thats the best like tb1
credo proprio di yes!
Agreed
Already 38 years ago, and still a masterpiece.
What a talent, when Reilly just walks up and hits the notes, bloody brilliant!
and delightful as always
An incredible performance from a guitarist who is remarkably overlooked. As even EVH once said. " Mike O makes me want to practice harder". When the greatest of all time says things like this you take notice.
Source of the Van Halen quote?
@@joaquinlezcano2372 It's been years...
Stupendous. Just incredible. Love the dual drumming, Maggie Reilly, Mike's guitar...everything!
My year of birth. What a fantabulous work of art.
A timeless piece of music from a master of his profession
This is what music is like in heaven. Breath taking. Beautiful.
an absolute genius , he played all the instruments by himself in his album, pure music.. no showmanship needed...
On long walks, with my Sony Walkman, Tubular Bells kept me going. I knew every twist and turn, every bit that was coming next. Fabulous. Thanks Mike.
Bestial Mike y toda su banda; increíble!! Cada vez que lo veo y escucho, me sorprendo un poco más. Gracias!!
Llevo desde el 82 ( lo descubri con 12 años) escuchándolo y no puedo estar más de acuerdo.
Le mec qui m’a donné l’envie d’être musicien et pas seulement guitariste !
Malgré les chaos de la vie j’ai toujours 15 ans dans mes 55 ans car sans passion je serai déjà près des étoiles , près des miens et de mon ami !
Merci 🙏 la musique te rend ce que tu lui donnes
Sadly, I just learned that Tim Cross, the keyboardist on this video, died in 2012. Huge talent. Was from a very musical family. He loved playing with Mike per the article I read. Rest in peace Tim...you participated in many classics.
Tim Cross, classical trained keyboard player was also live musical director for Mike. A huge talent indeed.
@@Amsterdamagesoup This performance at Montreux is off the scale good. I think they blew the audiences collective minds. Did me....Kudos to Rick Fenn from 10cc on bass and guitar. Huge talent there.
It really doesn't get much better than this. Amazing performance.
I first heard this album when I was 13yo. I have never forgotten it or where I was at the time! Amazing how music can invoke so much emotion and memory.
You and I both!
One year older(-;
Legendary! I was in Hawaii at the time and it caught ear back in back in the late 70's and related to our great Surf Music. Wonder artist and guitarist. Actually an excellent guitarist!
Brings me all the way back to Oct 74. The place catterick Yorkshire The job Army Air Corps recruit. Long before personal music so listened in the time after finishing training. Kept me going through the dark lonely nights away from home, and the inevitable Dear John letter etc. Was still loving it 5 months later when I was posted to Southern England then West Germany. By this time as I was posted for 3 years bought myself a proper hi FI set up and it sounded so much better. Still love it now
I was in Catterick at the exact same time doing basic training with the Royal Armoured Corps, small world.
@@peterdockerty8077
Hi Peter.. can’t remember my intake number but we started training Oct/Nov time in 74. The 4th Tanks where the training Reg. we had a cpl called Smith, then they moved to BAOR and the 5th Skins took over
Yeah Intake 74/13 training with the Jocks I was with 1st Royal Tanks trained by the 4th. Basic at Catterick before Bovingdon and Tidworth for trade training and flying straight off to Hong Kong for 18 months holiday. Happy days
@@peterdockerty8077
Lucky you. We all in the AAC could put down for what posting we preferred. We all ended up in BAOR on exercise every few months No matter what we had put down lol
I had this playing at 1.5 speed and didn't realize it. Interesting, heard something new today. +1
This is one of the most incredible jams I've heard in my life
a music masterpiece, that will stand in hundreds of years
A brilliant show, fantastic arrangement. And Maggies voice is so beautiful.
Maggie and Moya Brennan(Clannad) are my favorite female singers. I really can't choose one over the other.
I absolutely agree with you Eleanor; I so miss Maggie in Mike's later live performances.
i have been to that concert - and we were sitting on the floor just in front of the stage, that was such a blast, to be that close to the musicians and see for. ex. a close-up of the finger-technique of Mike (fingerpicking the solos and using the plektrum for rhythm) - those were the days :)
I was there too. I was at every shows where something memorable happened.
Great!!!!
Amazing, I heard the album as a teen when it came out and was blown away. I had never seen his right hand technique till this video. I' m proper gobsmacked, if there's anyone I could compare him to it might be Jeff Beck tone wise. Unreal performance.
Wow wow wow
Can you imagine any musician these days doing this. LMFAO.
MIKE you are pure genius
In every sense of the word
You were a major part of the building blocks of today's music
However as everyone knows today's music is a farce of 4 chord crap
Mike your music is immortal
Pure pure pure pure pure pure genius
Which makes students really listen and consentrate
One last thing
I listen to you and it seems like you've been playing guitar for a hundred years
😁💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💛💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚❤️
There's still some great music out there, just about knowing where to look I guess
Umphreys McGee
Oh take me back in time to the 70s.
Kalle Gerigk There will b bell bottoms in heaven....:)
This song is such a masterpiece! It's captivating, beautiful!
I found the tubular bells cassette in with my Dads box of stuff in the garage and pretty quickly fell in love with this amazing and unique music. And to think Mike played most of this himself! I was learning guitar at the time and struggled to try and learn it by ear and certainly struggled with my lack of skill at the time. But as my ear and technique grew I loved being able to play more and more of the album. I really enjoy this version live and love Maggie's vocals and parts she plays in this piece. What a gift to watch over and over again!
His touch and vibrato on the guitar as if he was playing a violin.. Amazing!!
This is classic. I have always wanted to see Mike live. I hope he will tour again.
The original Tubular Bells album was quad, as was my pioneer 200 watt stereo system. Man do I miss that stereo, wonder if my neighbors then do too?
I can't help but feel Mike Oldfield deserves more recognition. Most poeple that have heard his music know he's a great musician, but I think he desrves much more. We mostly don't see him in rankings on the best music acts and people do not talk about him that much. His soundtrack on The Killing Fields wasn't even nominated for the Oscars and he only has won one Grammy. I think he should have won more and it seems people only know him because of Tubular Bells and ''Moonlight Shadow'' when he has put out amazing records like Hergest Ridge, Ommadawn, Platinum, QE2, Crises, Discovery, Amarok, The Songs of Distant Earth, the Tubular Bells sequels, Man on the Rocks....
Most Australians who grew up in the 1970s/ 1980s are very familiar with his music, but not with him. It was used on the public broadcast TV station is fillers - Incantations IV, Blue Peter and Portsmouth. th-cam.com/video/3OhRJf4VFgU/w-d-xo.html
Yes, you are absolutely right. Mike is brilliant. He wasn't, or wasn't as absorbed by the star world, and that was good for him and good for us. In my opinion, he didn't want that because he knew that he wouldn't be the one deciding his music, but the businessmen and producers. And that's fine. Many of us, many of us, know very well who Mike Oldfield is and it's our job to promote him everywhere. And whoever prefers to listen to all the dum-dum music of zero value, well, that's their problem.
Great video, great music, great Mike Oldfield!!!
Love the natural picks grown on his fingers. I'll never forget listening to the album over and over and over! It was a defining moment in this young musicians life!
A beautiful song and a great music. Thank you so much. Pena Gil
The early one, live at the BBC is the best performance by far.
Steve Hillage was a guitar God on that performance.
Hauntingly beautiful. Such an incredible composition.
Wore out 2 albums an even got my dad hooked when i was 12.
Great performance
Genius ! Brilliant Musician...Great Composer And Multi-instrumentalist...Master ! Poland Love Mike Oldfield ;-)
So Mike is the freaking incredible guitar player here. I'm 60, I didn't know that. Almost unbelievable.
Jeff Curran really, 60 years of age and never heared of Mike Oldfield? I am 54 and listened this music since I was 15! And I was amazed from the first tune I heared that time.
It's never too late!
@@dirkbanzhaf234 I had this record in the 70s when I was a teenager. I just didn't realize or forgot that Mike was the guitarist.
@@TheJeffcurran I never would have known if not for your comment. I thought Mike was the keyboardist. Heard this song my entire life but never decided to look into it until a few months ago.
When music and HiFi had real meaning... and people treated their profession as the art it was. Glad I was alive back then!!
One of the best pieces of music ever written and performed.
11:17 the crowd cheers!
😎💚The synth! ❤️
What a performance!
I was at this performance, the only time I have been to the MJF, magical Switzerland! I had seen him the previous Summer in Cardiff. What a wonderful piece of music it is
Simply obsessed with this. ❤ What an incredible journey of 16 minutes into otherworldly perfection.
Great stuff and brilliant vocals from Maggie Reilly.
Her voice,is a flute. magic
Im 41 and I've lived this long without knowing about this awesome guitarist!?!?! He is one of my new favorites !
There is a cosmos of amazing music waiting for you 😊 But I think this was his best time. Magic.
I'm 46 and Tubular Bells helped so much in my teens with depression, isolation, feeling like I didn't fit in, being an outsider etc. Years later I find out that he was feeling the same in his teens and this music saved him. You're gonna love his stuff.
Man I bet the rehearsals were long, and frustrating at times for this band. Watching this whole show and seeing that they got it that well down and memorized is pretty impressive. Particularly when they played Platinum at this show.
Mike Oldfield is such a perfectionist that he’s said it’s never been perfect to him
A Masterpiece of Music. Mike Oldfield..... many thanks........
OMG WOW FUKN BEAUTIFUL. It's been years.
Fell in luv with this around 50 years ago, i was 13 at the time.
I love how high he takes me 🕊...and how gentle he brings me back down🙌🧘✨
This album was probably 30 to 40 years ahead of its time but the kids of today would not appreciate it so I’m glad it came out when it did as I’m still playing it now in 2019.
Then, I guess it came out in the right period of time?
Absolutely brilliant
a great masterpiece of music
