The worlds greatest composer and musician to have ever lived. Mike has written the soundtrack of my life right from the 1970’s up to present day. When I was seriously ill with Covid my doctor said that I stood no chance and to make my final plans. I asked my wife and kids to play Tubular Bells along with Wonderful Land then Neil Diamonds Remember Me at my funeral. By some miracle I pulled through but my request still stands.
I hope you've got a copy of his "Return to Ommadawn" album. You might change your funeral request list after hearing it! Magic stuff; one of his best 😁
@@marklammas2465 yes I do have a copy but I personally prefer his 70’s and 80’s music. I have a large music collection but I always go back to this period of Mikes work and it gets played every week and I have done so for the last 50 years.
Absolutely amazing, words cannot describe the talent of this man. I've been a fan of his since I were a teenager when I discovered his music. I am now 56 and still think he's great. Now and again when I'm in the mood I'll play one of his CDs and just go on a journey of emotions because that's what his music does to me, brilliant.
To this day i will never understand why this man has never appeared on the Rolling Stone top 100 guitarists list. A prodigious player who has never been given the guitarist accolades he so rightfully deserves. He could play so many of those punks on that list under the table ten times over.
the original Tubular bells is also done in a 7-8 count it tricks the brain into listening and not drifting off, Kinda like the film industry flashing frames of pop corn in the movie that could not be seen by eye ,later banned buy film industry . It is a very hard complicated way to play only the most dedicated of musicians can play this count
Divine! Genius! Michael has given the world masterpieces that only he could do. I first listened to his 3 or 4 albums in 1976. Ever since his music meant special happiness for me. Later on with the advent of the internet I found out what more I shared with him, besides my passion for music: we were both born in 1953, both born in May, me on the 4th, he on May 15th. Michael Oldfield has made so many people happy with unique music. God bless him with everything that’s dear to his soul!
I'm so envious, because i were not at that show! Mike Oldfield is a talent that will be remembered for ever. Today I play his music more than i did when i were a teenager. Just proves the value of the music!!
My eternal thanks to this man , for performing the most engrossing , complex , involving & entertaining music across my adolescence & right through manhood , because mike,s music got me away from a bad gang which would have been my undoing , quite simply , the music that the gang lived for was virtual rubbish compared to that which Mike Oldfield composed & performed , & they could not compete with it . It left them standing , & greatly elevated my musical taste . I have most of this man,s released work , don,t regret any of it , & thank him sincerely . I,m not a wealthy man but to me it was & still is essential to afford the new releases . Great music can get a misguided kid away from trouble far more effectively than any amount of threats , punishment etc . Thanks Mr Oldfield .
I think Mike Oldfield should be made a "SIR" as he's given the music industry such a large BOOST, if you agree please tap the link Ok thanks from CAPTAIN JON 😃😉
brilliant child prodigy who survived the commercial pressures of the UK music industry... including this video :) It was sooo right when he got his own space in the London Olympics Opening Ceremony in London 2012: hats off to Mike Oldfield !!
Jules Holland made sure MO had 8 minutes of live TV for Far Above the Clouds. When was the last time you heard an 8 minute song on live tv ? That was pretty cool.
M Olfield es otro nivel, es un crack y Genio del siglo 20. Al inicio como comienza con guitarra española y un toque andaluz magnifia composición, es increible como lo hace y como es capaz de fusionar las piezas que crea, es un monstruo de la musica.
My father wishes this song for his funeral,years ago.One of the best songs ever.I am the only daughter and I think the rest doesn t matter me at all! Don't drive by, when I listening to this music!!! You can't buy this ! Greetings from your cousine! THX My fathers only daughter.I ve got no family anymore!!!
Tbh I think Mike Oldfield is so underrated especially a musician in general. I mean he has written some really great stuff yet he is rarely mentioned in that context of great musicians.
increíble! lo que hace este hombre esta a otro nivel. un grande del pop de la electrónica de la BSO del rock progresivo.... gran compositor gran virtuoso y gran persona
Mike Oldfield was an underrated guitarist and musician. I love Tubular Bells. I recently let my LP album go in an Estate Sale (along with 1200 other LPs, a lifetime collection of rock, jazz, and classical), we (my wife and I) are 78, and just moved to a cottage in Senior Retirement Community. We are the among youngest here. I make Van Halen jokes all the time. We have new friends who are in their 80s, 90s, and even a good half dozen over 100.
Saw JMJ live at London Docklands at the release of his brilliant Revolutions album..Absolutely amazing experience..Would love to see Mike play tho...I wish..loved him most of my life!
La calidad de su trabajo y el talento que ha DEMOSTRADO en 50 años puede que con suerte se pueda ver 1 o 2 veces en cada generacion, ( y en algunas , no). Creo que con estas palabras queda absolutamente clara mi opinion personal de la importancia de Mike Oldfield en la historia reciente de la musica.

The Mozart of progressive rock. Far above the others. A true, genuine, genius composer and performer.
Far above the clouds)
That's a good description for him.
MIKESTRO!
Agreed with you Yves!
MO is an "insane" musical genius of 2nd and 3rd millenium!

That´s is the same that i´d lived with him.I love Mike Oldfield...i´m 54 years old. one kiss from Spain
With you on that.. Loved his music since 73.. Ommadawn might be my favourite
Wow, it is the same story for me... and same age
@@dolphin0064 Hi, I'm now 60 🙂
Hi Rider, as my from 1963, discovered this in 1976 firstly with Hergest Ridge
To this day i will never understand why this man has never appeared on the Rolling Stone top 100 guitarists list. A prodigious player who has never been given the guitarist accolades he so rightfully deserves. He could play so many of those punks on that list under the table ten times over.
Gerald Berliner true and so talented. My understanding is mike did all of everything on the original tubular bells album.
@@jbloodwo And, mostly, in one take.
Incredible amount of concentration. His playing is so passionate. So incredibly focused and "in the zone". Tour de force indeed.

Oldfield is beyond human he is a magical creature deigning to bless us with his magic
Or as he put it in his autobiography - a changeling
Just discovered this....Have loved Mike Oldfield for years..Time he was given a knighthood for his amazing contributions to music ..Simply The BEST!!!
I'm so envious, because i were not at that show! Mike Oldfield is a talent that will be remembered for ever. Today I play his music more than i did when i were a teenager. Just proves the value of the music!!
One of my all-time favourite artists. Pure genius.

I am with U! Greatings from Jever, Lower Saxony, Germany
Likely that him being a tax exile has scuppered his chances. Though he deserves all the praise and accolades that come his way.
Absolutely! When "Gays" become this title - he deserves it!
Maybe he has refused the honour?
brilliant child prodigy who survived the commercial pressures of the UK music industry... including this video :) It was sooo right when he got his own space in the London Olympics Opening Ceremony in London 2012: hats off to Mike Oldfield !!
Totally agree with you Jeremy...last survivor of pieces of genius.. great great work for many years
Il y a des guitaristes excellents et il y a Mike Oldfield qui les surpasse de très loin. Je ne m'en lasse pas
Oh, that original Tubular Bells melody at the end. Why am I in tears?
00:00 - Intro
02:00 - Serpent dream
05:46 - Secrets
09:25 - Far above the clouds
I owe my 42 years in IT to this man. I first learnt to program whilst listening to Ommadawn. And Ms Melbourne aint half bad either !
Just chills. Amazing genius. His solo of guitar is so good.
The timing of the man and his band is one of total mechanical discipline, sheer brilliance, stunning.
Can you Imagine how that sounded in that pretty small studio!!!.....especially the percussion at the end!!?....fantastic
Totally original guitarist and musical genius!
Holy Shit ! This guy is too amazing for words to describe !! Genius,for sure. And beyond...
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Jules Holland made sure MO had 8 minutes of live TV for Far Above the Clouds.
When was the last time you heard an 8 minute song on live tv ?
That was pretty cool.
I remember this channel on Brazilian rally,it was brilliant! And Mike Oldfield is my number one musical hero!
wow.......about one minute of unheard brilliance........this opening is amazing
Still awesome , never get tired of listening to Mike.
Me fan since 1976 when I was 13, now rediscovering piece by piece! Thanks for having this here!
M Olfield es otro nivel, es un crack y Genio del siglo 20.

just wow.. every single time..mind blowing
Imaginate haber sido invitado como banda o solista a "Later" y tener que tocar después de Mike Oldfield, ufff eso debe ser durísimo....
Mike Oldfield was an underrated guitarist and musician. I love Tubular Bells.
