Ho assistito allo stesso concerto in quegli stessi giorni all'Arena di Verona, una luna enorme in bilico sopra l'anfiteatro faceva da scenografia, uno dei concerti più belli della mia vita
Yo le vi en Madrid en Septiembre de 1993 con la gira Tubular Bells 2 y en el 99 en la gira live and then. Una pasadaaa, Dios bendiga al genio de Reading
Found it few days ago, absolute fantastic, I never imagined that complex music like Crises can be played live. Excellent. And the mimics and the face of Phil Spalding on bass is unbelievable, he enjoys the concert very much. . Thumbs up. And last but least...Simon Philips on drums, genius.
Such a good quality recording considering almost 40 years ago. I had the privilege of seeing this tour in Brussels. I swiped a poster off the wall advertising this gig and still have it today. So sad to hear of Phil passing last week.
❤Es muy triste que nunca presento un concierto en mi amado México y si muchos en otros países, pero ni modo es el mejor en todo y no podemos dejar de admirarlo y oír y ver sus en vivo, bien por el. Saludos.
Mike Oldfield is absolutely amazing. I have been following him since Tubular Bells was first released by Virgin. Always has a terrific group of musicians round him. Great to see Phil Spalding in this lineup.

... such great memories!!! Barry having some serious trouble singing Jon Anderson (or monitor problems), but: I love all this !!!! Saw this tour in Bremen then, and - as a REAL Oldfield-Fan and young drummer - all that had such an impact on my sensibilities !! Got some autographs from Mike & Simon by a hotel-maid after that & ... I nearly died with luck !!! (got to meet Simon twice, decades later, and : we shook hands and I was still too shy to say a word!!) I really Love Crisis + Discovery + all the albums before !! (sorry for my poor English)

my god, the original singers are all there, the drummer is awesome & the transitions are too! 80s really were the decade of synths, DRUMS &... MIKE OLDFIELD! epic concert, brilliant thx!
I was a 14 year old junior high school student in Schweinfurt, Germany and my best friend at the time was a precocious drummer who'd just discovered Simon. We went to the show in Wurzburg and sat above the stage right behind the PA, and sat amazed at Simon's playing. Simon was only in his early 20's here, and he was already one of the best drummers anywhere. For me, the night was magical because it was my first of many, many concerts to come and it inspired me to study music and make it my lifelong passion. Everyone on that stage was amazing. Mike was like a Zen master the whole night, except when he picked up a drumstick and tried to crash a cymbal during one of Simon's incredible solos. Simon, looking down when Mike started his downstroke, reached up and stopped the cymbal without missing a beat. Mike turned to the audience, smiled, and spoke into the mic, "Simon Phillips". Simon's work on Crises, to this day, haunts me. I've seen Neil Peart now many, many times. I've seen drummers, and played with drummers, from all genres, and I've yet to see anyone behind the kit quite like Phillips. The only guy who comes close is Gavin Harrison (formerly of Porcupine Tree).
Have you seen the duets Simon and Gavin do. Very, very nice. :) I agree with all of the above. For me it was Toyah in 1982, also with Phil Spalding. Simon was 23.
Finally someone else who also knows of Simon's work with Toyah,The Changeling and Warrior Rock the live album are awesome. After hearing and seeing Simon playing the Christmas Eve gig for the Old Grey Whistle Test it changed my whole approach to drumming,think I was about 14years old ! Blow my mind !!! Absolute influence on me from then until now 2018
Saw Mike in concert in OZ in 81 and he was fantastic. Hypnotic. He sadly was not accompanied by Simon Phillips ( on drums) but the world knows how great a drummer he is. Glad people posting these little glimpses into the past combined histories.

Saw Mike Oldfield tour in '79 and '80 in Portsmouth (might have the dates wrong), the music and the animations by Ian Emes were fantastic. Superb optical illusions (water falling up and down a fountain , little figures climbing the stairs and going nowhere and was that a giant Gorilla projection for Platinum part of the show. Why is this Viareggio concert not released on DVD?
Eh, noi italiani li accogliamo sempre bene gli stranieri: mani azate e applausi. Ne sono contento: l'ospitalita' non e' da tutti in Europa, purtroppo. E questo musicista, poi, a Viareggio, che sta in Italia, non sa dire neanche grazie nella mia ingua, credeva di stare in Spagna e ha detto gracias. Ehm. Figuraccia la sua.
I remember vividly being assaulted by Simon's drumming on the Crises finale and being bounced upon by my girl. The hi-fi was loud as were we. God knows what would've happened if I'd not had to pick up the stylus arm every 20 minutes. Pre CD days 'natch. Cheers Mike, we owe you.....
Possibly the best musician and composer of the whole pop-rock age
Amazing Simon Phillips on drums.
It's about time all Mike's concerts were remastered and made available to us mortals
The best drummer Mike ever had. And that's saying a lot.
Simon Phillips
Simon Phillips 👍
Ho assistito allo stesso concerto in quegli stessi giorni all'Arena di Verona, una luna enorme in bilico sopra l'anfiteatro faceva da scenografia, uno dei concerti più belli della mia vita
C'ero anche io all' Arena di Verona, splendido.Ciao
OMG! Simon Phillips, The Legend
Of course Mike Oldfield is one of the best composer/player ever by the way.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MIKE OLDFIELD FOREVER AND EVER. MIKE IS IN MY HEART AND IN MY MIND ALWAYS.
What a guitarist, what a musician, what a composer he is!
In wich planet are you leaving? Not in the Earth...

Krystaliczne , czyste piękno muzyki ...........
'Saved By A Bell' Live! Oh YES!!!
FOR SUCH A TALENTED MUSICIAN LIKE MIKE OLDFIELD, WHY IS THERE ONLY "127" REVIEWS 😟.
Que lastima que nunca tuvimos la felicidad de ver a este gran genio en chile y sud america , somos muchos los que amamos la música de Mike Oldfield.
es verdad nunca vino,nazareth,wishbone ash y tantas otras bandas,fleetwood mac,eagles etc

It's just amazing how they can play live such complex music and make it sound like the studio recording.
Super!
Drummer Simon Phillips in a very good shape of performing!
Arnold Sturm from Romania
Because they played like this in the studio?
@@1967davidfitness Did they?
Mike played many parts himself in overdubs...

I really Love Crisis + Discovery + all the albums before !! (sorry for my poor English)
Would have been better to have Maggie sing this with Barry on backing
I believe that only Annie Haslan , from Renaissansse, could sing like Jon Anderson. Sds from Brasil.
questo concerto mi ha fatto cambiare il modo di ascoltare la musica. e visto che avevo 13 anni è stata una grande cosa che mi ha segnato molto

About singers: At "In High places" song , remeber that the original singer was Jon Anderson, from Yes....not present in this live perfrormance.
Unique line-up of songs, amazingly the sound is still great, never mind a bit less picture quality.
esecuzione come sempre divina

Sadly I wasn't born yet in 1984, but my parents went to see the show in Kiel, Germany (sooo jealous of them ^^)!

As Lee Skylar said ( toured with Toto) he believes there are some aliens on earth. Simon Phillips on drums is on of them. Great stuff.
Io c'ero. Con mio fratello. che bellezza
Watching this for the, well I lost count, the sound is great and the performance is just amazing.
Awesome. Some of my favorite tracks from him. Phenomenal drummer. But they're all vert good.

I envy you, must say 🙂
My sister and her boyfriend went to that concert I was 12 and not allowed to go FMO and Crisis are my favorite Oldfield albums
If 1981, then Simon Phillips wasn't three, but Pierre Moerlen was with his "Gong", I think😉
Saw Mike in Stockholm 1984 and it was, as always, absolutely amazing... Just love his music.
Grande Mike !!! GIN(): )
Thank you for your sharing, it's epic 🥰😉🤗🤗🤗✅

Questo concerto lo vidi dalla Rai nel 1984. Rimasi estasiato. Simon Philips in forma smagliante. Per me il più grande batterista nel suo genere.
Bravo, bravisimo. Eres cojonudo Mike.
Just GOD!!! Mike is by far the best ever.
I love that big climax with the Prophet 5's orchestra at the end - a great end to a great concert! :)
takes me back to my days of trucking in Europe No cab phones them days so music warp 10 on the Autostrada's, been retired since 2001
Fantastic Tour. I saw Mike in Orange, France on the 31st August 1984. Still have the tickets in pristine condition, I must frame them sometime....
Thx for this gem
Amazing. Thank you so much.
BEAUTIFULL!!!
A lot of time waiting for.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
thx for uploading music from the master
This is the Best live LP I've heard Yet. QUALITY Sound. Thanks for putting this Out.
Great
Ero li' nell'84 ! Indimenticabile!!!! Grazie. X il video.
Fed lyd og en fantastisk Simon Philips. Tak for linket.
génial ses meilleures mélodies du moment ; le pied!!
io c´ero ! 650 km con una Honda XL500 arrivammo a Viareggio distrutti ma appena in tempo !
ik hou er van ,deze tubler bels uitvoering !!☺️
Wonderful!!!!💓
I saw Mike on that tour !
21:00 Legend has it this night the Instituto Sismologico di Viareggio recorded a magnitude 8 earthquake.
In 1984 I was 16 years old
Excellent sound quality!
I like this concert..

Ich glaube sein bestes Konzert. Also wenn er jetzt hier so spielen würde, wären die geimpften Schlafschafe restlos überfordert.
Excelente musico espero que um dia ele venha dar um show aqui no Brasil, em Minas gerais para inaugurar a arena MRV.
Só mesmo no sonho, caro conterrâneo, rsss
RIP Phil Spalding in 2023!!
timeless
During this tour I saw them in Rotterdam (Ahoy' Theatre). I think it was on the 1st of April. Still have the tour programme book.
With one of my fav drummers: Simon Phillips!
Jan Vrolijk I prefer Pierre Moerlen, but Mike's music still stands strong.
belleza.
Não há palavras quanto a mim é o Beethoven do século xx
A very good version of T Bells part 2
Still love “Diana Luna Lucina”
from Incantations above all else!
a comment from an earlier youtube account I had!!!! Still LOVE THE TBELLS 2 INTRO & The CRISES.......
33:15, 33:22, 33:54 y 34:01: Sonidos del Fairlight idénticos a los de 'San Jacinto' de Peter Gabriel.

Barry Palmer trying to sing like Jon Anderson, he is a brave guy !
Yeah, it is some challenge!
Is he Palmer as in Emerson Lake And,?
@@_s827 no, the ELP one was Craig
The drummer of EL&P (actually in Asia) is CARL PALMER.
