@@CliveTuck American here-this is the first version of the song I've ever heard, from a couple of years ago. My favorite version is by Ann Haslem, but that could be just because I'm a Renaissance fan. Pepsi does have a fascinating way of moving onstage, though. Hard to take your eyes off her.

The funny thing is I lived in a small village with my parents and older brother. The first time I was allowed to go and play with other kids in the city (2 miles from our village) was when I was 13 years old! The thing I used to convince my mother to let me go was the CD of Mike Oldfield with this song! My friend was about to give it to me on the city's playground where they were playing football. My mom said yes, and after that, everything changed! I started to go there almost every day (during the summer); I soon made new friends (they all lived in the city) and 7-8 of us became best friends! Our gatherings at the city's fountain, playing catch, football, and basketball, and going out for pizza - I still remember those days. The best days of my life! Everything started with one CD! With this amazing song!
Que lindo o seu relato ! Essas fazes de criança, onde fazemos nossas primeiras amizades, são tão marcantes que nós lembramos pro resto da vida ! Sei bem como é esse sentimento: realmente uma das melhores fases da vida ! Abraços de alguém da Amazônia brasileira !
Veramente !!!! , e con Pepsi💞 è eccezionale .... non smetteresti mai di ascoltarla, soprattutto di notte.....nel silenzio è ancora più emozionante !!!!
I have to say, this is so far, my favorite female vocalist attempting Moonlight Shadow" after Maggie Reilly's. She didn't feel she had to do anything strange with it. The song is already beautiful and rich enough to try to adorn it unnecessairly. I really like this sober version, more faithful to the original.
That guitar tone is just exquisite, and Mike is so gifted player, he really makes that guitar sing. And he seems to be playing entirely with his fingers, no pick. Plus, I got a bit carried away by Pepsi
I find I get far better tone using nails than an pick on electric too but am used to it as play classical too. It’s a bit harder on steel acoustic unless your nails are super tough but string tension not too bad on a lekky.
This is when music makes me fell tears. So incredibly beautiful with Pepsi´s voice and the world´s greatest musician ever just letting the notes flow from his guitar. There is a God.
Pepsi does a wonderful job singing. And I like her natural moves too. She's lovely. And the blond girl doing the exquisite background vocals is also a treat!
One of the most beautiful songs ever, I grew up with it! Beautiful version with amazing solos especially the one beginning at 3:37 which is not present in the standard version with Maggie Reilly. Maggie's voice was stunning-perfect and warm but this is a wonderful interpretation as well, different but really really nice! Great emotions!!!
Saw a much older maggie Reilly ( original vocals) sing this live on you tube and her vocals are still great after 40 years but this lady covers this song beautifully.. lovely vocals
Mike has a special way of giving the audience some of the best music a guitar can produce..... without putting him self to much in center of everything
Al ritorno dalla spiaggia (Brindisi), si ascoltava in macchina, quanto sentimenti, tanta allegria!, Che estate indimenticabile, grazie, grazie perché si continuava cantarla fino a mezzanotte ❤❤❤. Buona serata da Teodoro
Maggie is a special singer and stay strongly in my memory, then she delivers her own voice. Actually I am little bit worry for her performance ..then I love both. Now I am 60s, but she pushes me to Mike in my college era. I love them all.
That guitar solo is the finest I've seen in a long time! Also Pepsi (from Pepsi & Shirley - Wham backup singers) has a wonderful voice! Thank you for posting.
Whilst enjoying Mike's solos immensely, most world renowned electric guitarists rate the virtually unknown and recently deceased Englishman, Allan Holdsworth, to be easily the best electric guitarist.
i can listen to this version a zillion times and still enjoy the voice of Pepsi and the backing musicians and backing vocals and well Mike on guitar is mind blowing.
Mike Oldfield is pure talent... But when that talent is mixed with experience, experimenting, influence and adding a pinch of other geniuses' company, gets him BEYOND many. I always cringe with every different play of this solo, and never fails in making me shiver. That guitar is singing by its own!
I remember 1983 this song was my fav. this version the vocalist is much better than the original ps greetings from the Dutch! I love all of you! gOD BLESS!
Pepsi sings this song better than any other. Beautiful lady with a beautiful voice. Beautifully accompanied by superb female organist/guitarist/vocalist. Mike Oldfield's composition and guitar work of course doesn't need comment... he's up there with the best.
Not sure mate, the lady's certainly a fine singer, not worth the hassle debating it but my take will never change regarding the apples and oranges bullshit, the song when released back in the early 80's is the song, end of it, incidentally this lady wasn't on it, Maggie Reilly was and her voice or contribution is most certainly not up for debate, this is the equivalent of modern day skynrd, they can play but they are a tribute.
I am in 1979....fantastic...i was in student holidays travel to Algarve in Portugal...was yesterday???? Regards from Portugal....tubullar bells Mike oldfield fantastic
Esta cancion deberia estar entre las mejores d la historia. Desde luego fue la mejor cancion de los años 80. Es una gran obra de arte. Y los "criticos musicales" no se acuerdan de ella. Siempre nos venden las mismas canciones de esa epoca. 🌺
I was in my teens, when this song/ music was produced. At age 69, I still enjoy it tremendously. Those were the days of good music. I had the album/LP Record of Jethro Tull called Aqaulung. Sitting on a park bench, snot is running down his nose---.
Just perfection! A great song performed by brilliant musicians and a beautiful unassuming singer with a really really pleasant voice that was made for this song. I listen to this almost every day.
I haven't seen all performances of this track, but this video would be hard to beat. It had me watching over and over. It is not just the soloist's fantastic rendition, but the headset mike allows her to be very expressive which she exploits fully, and the cutting is rather effective in adding to the dynamism of the performance.
quand on joue de la guitare on se rend compte de la grande et belle performance que ce gars nous offre. Ce morceau est sublime par sa mélodie son rythme et ses envolées de solos loin d’être à la portée du premier venu ; bravo chapeau bas Mr Oldfield !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mike as such is one of the finest guitarists and songwriters there is but he really knows where to find exceptional talent to back him up. Pepsi is an amazing singer with such stage presence but I am also very impressed with the keyboard player who also plays rhythm guitar and performs backing vocals. That's some incredible multitasking live on her part.
Mike is a genius, simple as. I live just outside Kington in Herefordshire where he had his studio in a cottage up near Hergest Ridge (hence the album name) during his “reclusive” period. He got a lot of his inspiration while walking the hills around here. And Pepsi…! Who would’ve thought all those years ago, when she was half of the “Pepsi & Shirlie” pop duo that provided backing vocals for “Wham!,” that we would see her providing vocals for Mike Oldfield. He obviously sensed her true singing talent, gave her the chance to fulfil her potential, and she delivered! She should have stepped out of the shadows sooner.
My favourite Mike Oldfield song.😊Play it over and over again, the wonderful singer's name should be given too. Cheers.
The singer is Helen "Pepsi" DeMacque
@@herenvarbut not as good as Maggie!
@@CliveTuck She is a lot better looking though.
@@911McS But if you only judge singers by there looks, you have it all wrong!

40 years old song. Absolute classic.
Breast cover of this song?
totalmente. lo amo!
The guitar solo at the end is bloody great. Anyone who doesn't like that is not human.!!

Musicians are goo too as well blonde chorus 's singer at keyboards
Im not human but i like this
I always thought this such a good song. Love the guitar
On my top 100 list of all time solos. A list that is heavily dominated by Metal and hard rock acts.
This performance is so good I watched it 10 times in a loop. Brilliant.
Yes it is
Me too....
@@guyburrell6164 me too...
great intro, not. A dog can play better
Me too brother 🙌🏻
One of the best songs, compositions of all times. Thank you dear Mike.
Gracias 🎉
It's a very wonderful piece of music. Mike is a gift to us all.
She is filling big shoes, she fitted them ....one of my all time favourite songs...applause 🎉🎉🎉🎉
E..sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss .nn55
Remember the 80's pop band Wham and their backing singers Pepsi and Shirley,, this is Pepsi DeMacque a very good singer indeed.
I didn’t notice her shoes 🥹
Matter of fact, she more than justified the orig version. Her rendition has more emotional depth and her voice is superior to Reilly's.
@@viclaron2937 she good enough for mike...
What a fantastic guitarist Mike Oldfield is😊😊😊
Extraordinaire
Oh yes indeed
The flow of notes during his solos is pure magic. It could last 15 min and you dont get bored. This is a very rare skill.
He's in my top three favourites along with Mark Knopfler and Hank Marvin ❤
Musicians: Adrian Thomas (Keyboards) Pepsi Damacque (vocals) Claire
Nicholson (keyboards and guitars) Carrie Melbourne (bass) Fergus Garrand
(drums and percussion).
I see he's ditched the Strat for a PRS, not knocking PRS just an observation.
Thanks

Супер
Isso foi em qual país ?
That is just cool and awesome man.
Just can't stop listening to this version with Mike and Pepsi, the voice of an angel and the best guitar player ever .... brilliant, stunning.
Veramente !!!! , e con Pepsi💞 è eccezionale .... non smetteresti mai di ascoltarla, soprattutto di notte.....nel silenzio è ancora più emozionante !!!!
Helen was brilliant but Maggies vocals were another level! Nobody can match the original
This woman's voice is so sweet and beautiful (like herself), that it reminds me of songs from some animated series from my childhood.❤
She's the star here! Listened to this song for the last 20 years. the vocals were what made this!!!

The song is already beautiful and rich enough to try to adorn it unnecessairly. I really like this sober version, more faithful to the original.
Gorgeous woman - beautiful voice. And a big shout out to the woman singing harmony , on acoustic guitar & apparently keyboards as well !
Brilliant. One of Mike Oldfields songs, enhanced by the wonderful Pepsi, what a voice.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH PEPSI WHAT A VOIUUCE , FROM PEPSI AND SHIRLEY
Amazing performance! Both Oldfield and Pepsi rocked the crap out of that song! Cant get enough.
Leider mit Maggi nicht vergleichbar . Provormez , Stimme etc. LG Gabriela
I Like,hermoso ❤
Great yes but maggie was just the best combination
Mike is a brilliant guitarist.His style is incredible natural and fluid
He can play well
I Like❤
Absolutely pretty and softly voice.
Thank you so much from Brazil.
Greetings back to you from the Marshall Islands ❤ 🇲🇭
A timeless masterpiece ❤ its Maggies song but this version is really excellent, everything falls into place, its from another universe, divine 🙏❤️❤️
Agreed 😊 The performance and video with Maggie is unique, but this lady is wonderful aswell ❤ Sir Oldfield, superb as always. That guitar...😊😊😊
@@albertlluisvila1251 🙏
Quie es la cantante?
@@ubedamaginaHelen DeMacque
Leave it out,she butchered it.
I came for Mike Oldfield's instrumentals, left stunned by the lead singer's vocals. I had never heard of that lady before, but I certainly have now. ❤
She was a backing singer for Wham
Also the Pepsi of Pepsi and Shirlie.
2024 and this is a timeless masterpiece as is many, if not all of his compositions. Sure he wrote Tubular Bells at 19 years old.
2024😊
Un genio musical
One of the most beautiful songs ever made
I love this She has a great voice and personality to match
This solo, the voice and personality of Pepsi…
Amazing👏👏👏🥰

*Браво!!! Вечная мелодия даже в 2024 году!!!🎵🎶😊*
porsupuesto!
I reaaly love this version with Pepsi singing and the guitar solo by Mike !
Me too and you are quite right
Pepsi Demacque really rocks this song
Pepsi does a wonderful job singing. And I like her natural moves too. She's lovely. And the blond girl doing the exquisite background vocals is also a treat!
Beautiful version of this song. Mike Oldfield is king ...

Так, все добре. Окрім вдоху Пепси... У Меган я цього всмоктування воздуху не чую зовсім, тільки голос!
Mike is a guitar wizard ! Amazing performance !
What a great composer and musician!!! Dreams of young time!
Grew up with this beautiful tune in the 80s gonna have played on my send off track timeless classic❤
Great number...performed perfectly ❤.
Can't stop seeing this video! Great music and singer! Pepsi, Helen DeMacque, has a wonderful voice!
The best performance of this Song! How beautiful she is! And how much heart in the voice of this Singer!
Loved Maggi singing this but love this girls voice and her too.
Merci beaucoup pour le partage. Cette chanson m'apporte beaucoup de bons souvenirs.
I just close my eyes and listen to her voice - beautiful.

Mike Oldfield was a Giant. His mind, her voice. Perfection.
There is nothing but pure music.
THIS SONG IS PERFECT IN EVERY WAY GREAT GUITAR SOLOS AND VOCALS!!!
Pepsi is one of my favorites. Not too interested in Pepsi and Shirley but Pepsi with Oldfield is wonderful.

La meilleure version avec la deuxième voix charmante la guitariste au fond j’ai jamais vu Michael se lâcher comme ça Pepsi est vraiment à l aise.
great song ...loved it when I was young..still love it now....

None of the ladies he has used for vocals has made a bad impression, but my favorite for this is Maggie Reilly
Agree, best version of this song, Pepsi Demacque was the best female live singer with Mike Oldfield.
Love this version of the Song ! And today, 30.11.2020 is full moon !
Vastly underrated musician, guitarist and composer! Great singer too, awesome voice and presence!
perfect song I love the voice , the bend and the iconic guitar solo!
"The bend"? 🤔

Mike Oldfield, um artista de renome a nível mundial. É na verdade preciso ser-se muitíssimo bom. Ainda bem que temos artista desta enorme qualidade.

She is singing the best version. And looks very pretty.
so gorgious
Also I like the live versions of Nolwenn Leroy - she is so great!
One of the best songs of all time!!!! Majestic!!!!!
as always, Mike is a great guitarist ! great respect ,sir Oldfield !
Guitar brought tears to my eyes! That reminded me of my day 🤦♂️❤️
This really very very good, no matter who the singer is she is doing a fabulous job of this, Mike is Mike and will always be a genius!

3:36 - 5:13 words cant describe how i love that part
The guitar is talking... Unbelieve
that part is even better in the live concert version (that one's video quality is bad though)
yes its is something so very special...beautiful music and a combination of such tallent
She dances like my old Geography teacher. Amazing singer, top marks.
Mike is a genius, simple as. I live just outside Kington in Herefordshire where he had his studio in a cottage up near Hergest Ridge (hence the album name) during his “reclusive” period.

Awesome performance from all band members!
What a brilliant performance!
Everyones is talking about the singer, but this is the only live version I've heard where both guitar solos are so fucking great.
Concur.....i also love Hank Marvin's elegant instrumental of this.
Do what?
Guitar solos, YES!
Mike Oldfield & Ronnie Montrose untouchable.
Where's Maggie Rilley?
