Best of MikeOldfield: goo.gl/5FqCWf Subscribe here: goo.gl/xRrbjs Music video by Mike Oldfield performing William Tell Overture. (C) 1977 Mercury Records Limited
Sadly, Mike's distant cousins from all over Europe (Michail from the USSR, Mikael from Denmark, Mika from Finland, Michel from France, Michalis from Greece, Mikkel from Norway, Michele from Italy, Michał from Poland, Mihai from Romania, Mykolas from Lithuania and Miguel from Spain) didn't want to participate.^^
In the 1970's musicians didn't have the technology to record different instruments at different times in the recording studio.. they only had the technology to make 3D duplicate prints of themselves..
Amazing how people do stuff like this(visually I mean) on youtube all the time, but back then it was so novel and new. and such a wonderful performance!
This guitar tone is called "woman tone". Eric Clapton pioneered it in the 1960's. It is achieved by cranking your amp and setting it fairly bright, but turning the tone knobs on a guitar all the way of. It results in a soft almost flute like tone
For another couple of this tune, try Glen's Smokin' one (stick with it to at least 2:28) th-cam.com/video/GUBhE00h9U0/w-d-xo.html , and the Schmutzdorfers (it was them playing, not those you see) th-cam.com/video/dwhGlrZOfFI/w-d-xo.html (I now _expect_ the baby at 1:02!).
That is indeed. And the way he plays them is staggering. Also even the "easiest" of instruments is palyed with earnesty,... I wonder whether he had Asperger, or a different form of Autism? But wonderful version of the Tell'sche Ouverture.
This was 1977. The multi-layering seen here was nothing new at the time, people had been doing it on videotape since VT was invented in the 1950s (and of course on film for a very long time before *that*), but it needed a lot of VTRs available to minimise analogue generation loss, and a lot of careful pre-planning - you couldn't just alter the relationship of the layers on a whim.
Tonight only, Mike Oldfield in concert. Also featuring, Mike Oldfield, Mike Oldfield, and Mike Oldfield, and introducing Mike Oldfield with Mike Oldfield, and also Mike Oldfield.
and here i was thinking (despite being brought up with alot of oldfields music btw) that this one man band thing was a youtube creation... what the heck he already did it.
Anderson is a talented man in a different way. Room for many talents, the more the better. Both a bit under recognised, although, Tull were huge around 71 just before 'Bells.
I never realized he had so many brothers.
Computers. It's all him. Your mother must be proud of you. Not.
In this case so many twins🤣
and all got the same haircut amazing
And cousins !!
@@pentuplove6542 You're so clever! Shame it went over your head like an aeroplane.
This is Mick, Michael, Mickey, Micky, Mikey, Micheàl and Mike Oldfield, what a musical family ❤️

@@TheAmarok87 ❤️
This guy was so ahead of his time he was doing videos for youtube in the 70's
Ikr
Rock Barcellos yes definitely!
R u stupid, it's made 4 tv, TH-cam was not invented in the 70-ies
@@peter-fuppe-fuchsyeah, that's the joke, bro...
Long before youtube there was Mtv and the "M" used to stand there for MUSIC!!!
Mike Oldfield is the Mozart of new age
Multi-instrumentalist youtuber before the youtube exist. Not bad at all
Excellent
In the 1970's musicians didn't have the technology to record different instruments at different times in the recording studio.. they only had the technology to make 3D duplicate prints of themselves..
Intelligent!
threedee multitracking
Here we have all the tech and we're still copying comments.
true
Before computers musicians had to clone themselves multiple times in order to play their songs
If only you knew how bad things really were: th-cam.com/video/91jag9yqiqE/w-d-xo.html
This tune is the cloneranger theme tune take it away mikes !!!
Written by Rossini (The Finale)
@@Imageguru2008 brilliantly done i say !!!
@@jonathanhatfield1237 i like gladly his whole Instrumentale music
🙂🙃😉👍
This is why TH-cam was created.
Not for political discussions.
Not for music videos.
But this.
One of the Most talented Musicians of the Century !
Das ist Musik
Amazing how people do stuff like this(visually I mean) on youtube all the time, but back then it was so novel and new.
and such a wonderful performance!
Playing with all his friends
cleft turnip - playing with himself...
@@bobstar76 Maybe he was schizophrenic, don't judge ;D.
God damn it! Who let Mike Oldfield at the cloning machine again?
This is the Mike Oldfield Ensemble playing Willian Tell Overture!
We have
Mike Oldfield - Everything
And that's it!
Love the lockdown haircut. Yes he really was ahead of his time.
what a sweet smile at the end :)
The definition of an intellectual is someone who can hear the William Tell Overture and not immediately think of The Lone Ranger :)
me n the boys after the opera
Genius ! Poland Love Mike Oldfield ;-)
Mike Oldfield has a really unique, soft guitar tone.
Sometimes it sounds more like a double reed than a guitar, it's very unique
And annoying.
@@BurrenSHdrums What
@@BurrenSHdrums No way! Mike's guitars are awesome!
This guitar tone is called "woman tone". Eric Clapton pioneered it in the 1960's.

In short: amazing. Thanks Mike for your contribution to music.
This guy is just incredible. Can remember listening to him back in the day, but now, realise just what an incredible talent he was.
This guy was one of the first shitposters ever.
What? I wouldn't describe this particular piece of art as "shit".
After listening to the piltdown man section of tubular bells and learning about the whole story behind amarok, I can confirm this
Антон Замарашкин, I hate to do this, but r/whooosh.
Ever heard of Wild Honey Pie?
Aleks Krakoew, by The Beatles? Yep.
8 MIKE OLDFIELDS WOW BUT IN THE END THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE MAY IT BE MIKE OLDFIELD!!!
Fantastic !! 10000 pnts❤❤
it reminds me that Oldfield is a multi-talented musical genius
Fantastic. An achievement to make its way in the William Hill advert.
Desde España soy y seré admirador acerrimo de battiato gracias por tu música
Mike Oldfield is my favourite band. Excellent musicians.
These were the days when several soundtracks and video were combined into one. Who remembers 4-track tape recorders? ;) Super
Possibly the most musically talented person to have lived. I doubt a musical instrument has been made that he cannot play extremely well.
Never heard him play a saxophone, trombone or cello
@@andywright8803probably no good on the hobo.
Jacob Collier.........
My god
52 years on this planet and i have only just discovered this fantastic performance of a classic tune
Where av you been
Me tooooooo... 58 for me.....
I'll soon be 52 too and my late father raised me on Mike's excellent music - have every album, every single and most live concerts on dvd.
Watch Punkadiddle or The Cooks Tune, you will be hooked to this man.
For another couple of this tune, try Glen's Smokin' one (stick with it to at least 2:28)

(I now _expect_ the baby at 1:02!).
Oldfield has a level of multi-instrumental professionalism that I can barely even dream of.
Check out the Swedish band Wintergatan. They are all multi-instrumental - amazing.
@@bsvenss2 What's even more amazing is that steel-ball machine.

A Gibson SG playing Will Tell - only Mike could pull it off !
Good musicians is good.
Brilliant
My brain cells at 3 A.M.
I saw this comment at 3am.
3am is a bit early in the morning
Unbelievable talent Mr Old field... Tubular always the game changer❤️
Mike Oldfield is a musical genius.
Complete with the bodhrán! Maith thú Mike!
That guitar tone is unmistakable.
This guy seems to become very famous on TH-cam.
All done with analog technology. ❤
This guy really knows how to check a trade
Brilliant - you have to wonder what Rossini would have made of this !
I am more amazed by the fact that they were able to overlay videos already at the time when Mike Oldfield looked like this. Late 60s or what?
This was 1977. The multi-layering seen here was nothing new at the time, people had been doing it on videotape since VT was invented in the 1950s (and of course on film for a very long time before *that*), but it needed a lot of VTRs available to minimise analogue generation loss, and a lot of careful pre-planning - you couldn't just alter the relationship of the layers on a whim.
@@dunebasher1971 Wow, thanks!
I wonder - was 8 the most tracks you could get on a studio tape recorder at the time?
How many Mike Oldfields does it take to change a lightbulb?
WONDERFUL MUSIC AND WONDERFUL BOY !!!!
I must be drunk, surely those are duplicates of the same lad.
Obviously
Cloning was more advanced, then.
Nah. You're blind drunk.
He is a true multi instrumentalist!
He plays all instruments by him self!!
❤❤❤

William Telecaster.
Rossini's classical piece on electric guitar... sound great!
Der hatte schon ne geile Band, damals :-)
Es un genio de la música...
Genial!!!
Unforgettable
Ein Meisterwerk
I wish I could clone myself and have a massive jam session.
+PhazonSouffle Alas, you lack the wizardry that only Mike Oldfield possesses.
if think this was the theme of the long ranger
Why now? Why I couldn´t see this 15 years ago? But thanks anyway. It is Great.
+teltri I know that feel bro...Im just discovering Mike's music TODAY!! And I'm like "WHY NOW!? WHY THE HELL NOW!?"
Meserias de tanar ....altfel ....La Multi Ani Mike Oldfield ! ....yes Sir with love .👍😘☘🏊🍀🤗👌✌️❤️🌈🌅❤️😇
Wow!!! Cool!!!
and here i was thinking (despite being brought up with alot of oldfields music btw) that this one man band thing was a youtube creation... what the heck he already did it.
Back in the day, when people first saw this, they must've thought they were seeing the future.
What is meant when you typed "...when people first say this,.."?
Thanks.
@@pentuplove6542 Sorry, I mistyped. What I meant to say is "when people first 'saw' this". It's corrected now :)
Qué genialidad...!! Saludos desde Mendoza Argentina
Una hermosa orquesta.🙂💞
Thank you that was brilliant
rose taylor 🌹👍🙏☘️⭐️
The Mike Oldfields
Wunderschön, nur hört man leider solche Perlen nicht im Radio.
Cool
my wife Alice loved this
Never heard these guys before but they’re really good.
This guy had the vulfpeck look in his videos before vulfpeck
After "Sir Elton", what about "Sir Mike" - a knighthood for Mike Oldfield?
Definitely!
But we all know Cowell and his ilk will get there before true talent
00:42 adding a few happy clouds
i recognize only one person as talented as him, Ian Anderson.
I am a Oldfield Fan and Jethro Tull,too. Yes, Ian is famous,too
Agreed 😃
Anderson is a talented man in a different way. Room for many talents, the more the better. Both a bit under recognised, although, Tull were huge around 71 just before 'Bells.
Or Jon Anderson
I approve this comment eight years after it was posted. Shut up
I've always loved the way he approaches lead guitar, usually just switching that tone control off and wobbling the shit out of each note. Magical.
Visual effects aside, the timing and syncing is just perfect, and to think everything was played by a single person.
Love Mike oldfield xx
A giant of Prog in my opinion.
mejor musico y mas completo que e visto en mi vida,
8 times Mike on one classic song. Amazing. Timeless.
Handcrafted! Without any computer, all the stuff and the electronic helpers we have, now!
0:35 nice entrance lol
Well done agian
Theres only one Mike Oldfield....apart from this video
He is a genius
Return to Ommadawn will be out soon. The new album by Mike Oldfield. Out in early 2017 !
Tu ru tu tu ti tu ti tu tu tu tu tu.
Fantástico! Great Mikey, come to Inisfree and play
My god wasn't he beautiful. Love him all ways
Mike and his 7 twin-brothers...
I was brought up with his music my mother loved it so do I, I am now sixty seven and I still cannot get enough
Meraviglia.
