Es ist das beste Gitarrensolo. Oldfield ist einer der Größten. Und...es gibt wenige Künstler, die die Zuhörer auf so kunstvolle Weise in gute Emotionen katapultieren.
Such a simple but catchy tune on the album. It fast became one of my favorites, blasting forth from my modern 'ghetto blaster'. Now, over 40 years later, I get to sit in my comfy chair by my desk, wearing a very good pair of headphones, and watch this piece of exquisite music history at the click of a mouse button as many times as I like. Technology has come a long way in my day - but I am sorry to say, music has not kept up. Nothing, absolutely nothing, comes close to the raw passion, pure genius, and true virtuosity, mr. Oldfield shows here. He takes that simple, but masterfully composed, ditty, and elevates it to something truly spectacular in this encore. There, at the end, when the synth comes in alone with Oldfields guitar, and precisely after he has gotten the crowd to cheer one last time, we get The Finale. The harmony, the noteprogression, the tone he gets from those thin metal wires vibrating over the magnetic microphones, is nothing less than Immortal. That little part is a crowning achievement of all that came before it. If all I got were those few seconds of music, I would be satisfied and would not demand more. Those notes strike something deep within my being, and I feel all the beauty of the creation flowing through my soul. Too much for a simple tune like Punkadiddle? Well, you should hear me about his rendition of 'Flowers of the forest', and how it makes me want to don a kilt and become a proud Scotsman, roaming the highland forests and moors with nothing but a forbidden bagpipe as company. :) Anyways..... Some say Oldfield is like a God..... Well, God is great and all....but he is no Oldfield.
Coincido plenamente con ud. Justo cuando se escucha los últimos vítores y empieza solo la guitarra con el sintetizador es una obra de arte hecha música...❤️
Out of this world. It's the 80's everybody is listening to disco stuff. He walked on stage and literally bombarded the audience with totally different tunes, even setting him apart from the likes of Paige and Blackmore. So cool.
When tubular bells first came on the scene it revolutionised the modern rock album- two 20+ minutes pieces of music with uninterrupted genius invading my senses. Music is music. Mike plays with your emotions as well. Superb.
Under rated???? 🤣🤣🤣 you can say now he is old . This man was a HUGE successful player, musician, composer. You comment is ignorant sorry. Like saying Journey, Toto are underated.
Here I am again, listening to & thoroughly enjoying Mike Oldfield playing one of my favourite pieces - & there are so many of them. Utterly joyous. Being from the UK I ask why this man has not been Knighted for his contributions to music & entertainment? He surely deserves it.
perhaps… he isn’t really ‘establishment’ is he? I read somewhere he decided to move abroad because England was become far too Nanny State. He’s right on - but he forfeits the knighthood for saying so. Who needs it anyway? Didn’t Lennon return his? ✌️
@@gooders7366Mike Oldfield is a force of nature, utterly wonderful, but subject to it at the same time. Given the standards of recent uk gong awards, heis probably just too damn good.
3:15 man that note is genius It's not in the original recording, just for for the live audience, just like the end when he's getting the audience involved. Amazing
This guitar monster is not only underrated... is also unknown by the mainstream industry. No problem. He will stay in the music history. Them are being forgotten.
"unknown by the mainstream industry?" This is Mike Oldfield. He's been in the "mainstream industry" of music ever since he released Tubular Bells in 1973! He's a multi-talented musician and can play all manner of instruments! The main one being the guitar!
This is funny how he is "unknown" in the mainstream industry. In my country "Moonlight shadow" or "To France" are played few times a day in the radio. Everyone knows these songs, but no one can name the artist. Mike is not only guitar hero for me, he has an incredible sense of melodies. I love all of his albums, which are nearly impossible to counterfeit. Best regards!
+Liam Prince Well, I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I don´t witness "errors", "bum notes", playing "modal" - I only hear mesmerizing beauty and pure genius. Focus of attention, probably
This is from the Platinum Album. cleary underated . For me better than Tubular Bells ( and I love Tubular Bells). Platinum have more harmonics, nuances. Cheers !
One thing i dont understand with Mike is how he could produce amazing melodies and feelings in so many themes and how he could deliver so many awfull others in the same time... its the only artist able of such a gymnastic
Whenever I watch this I imagine the band meeting where the idea of going bare-chested for the encore was discussed, and Tim Cross throwing a strop and refusing to go along with it ;)
this song is supposed to be a parody of punk music and Tim Cross, who by this time was the music director for Oldfield tours, was also involved with punk having played in the Adverts second album and T.V. Smith...and maybe that's why he didn't go bare-chested?
I only discovered MO last year, but I come back to certain bits like this gem repeatedly. The way the band fades down into just the guitar and keyboard at the end is so haunting. I kind of wish he hadn't done quite so much playing with the audience near the end, but hey, everybody was having fun...
first time i heard mikes amazing music i was only 6-7years old as my father showed me his vinyl discovery. i was amazed by his skills. as a little kid i smiply wanted to play guitar right there! :) some years later i switched thgough many styles and genres (but i always avoided "pop" and mainstream shaits) and now i ended deep underground (now im 22yrs), but mike is somekind special man and artist for me and he will be always my inspiration in the way he makes and lives music..
Du sagst es! Da wäre sooo gerne dabei gewesen! Aber '81 war ich erst 7 Jahre alt und Montreux liegt nicht gerade um die Ecke. Und - als 7 jähriger hatte ich auch noch einen anderen Musikgeschmack ;-)
Dynamic playing with the volume knob. Today we’re like here’s my clean here’s my crunch (click) here’s my solo tone (click) lol we have become lazy (J Bonnamasa excluded)
Fan of Mike since then and today! Michael and his art for ever, Jean-Michel, Vangelis, ELP, Kitaro looks upon his shoulder! Amities du Allemagne en May 2020!!!
why aren't the people in the audience holding up their smart telephones and recording this??? Ah right because they actually give a fuck about having a good time and living for the moment! :D :D :D
The whole of this concert is simply amazing and I urge you all to get it, I just watched it in it`s entirety and I have never seen such a great display of brilliance, Mike, you are beyond words to describe your talent, to me Genius describes you best.
el tema de punkadiddle lo he oido un centenar de veces. me sigue sorprendiendo lo que era capaz el humano hace 40 años atras. que involucion de la humanidad. el arte creacion del humano, hoy ha sido reemplazado por el anticristo es decir la electronica que domina nuestros sueños. a mi no me importa, porque seguire escuchando a estos genios, un centenar de veces mas. y gratitud al tecladista el cual ha fallecido. saludos
One of the Most amazing Music Creators and Music geniouses of his generation and also as anyone can witness here,an incredibly skilled guitar player,underated to say the Least,at least in the U.S.
This is classical music.
Mr Mike G. Oldfield is the best thing that has happened to my ears in this life.
Right on.
Same here!
Your comment is my comment.
I agree! his whole montreux show is an unbelievable experience!
Bachesque.
One of, if not the best guitar solos ever.
Es ist das beste Gitarrensolo. Oldfield ist einer der Größten. Und...es gibt wenige Künstler, die die Zuhörer auf so kunstvolle Weise in gute Emotionen katapultieren.
The song is one big solo 😂
This takes me back years. I have this album, but never heard the live performance. Mike creates my favorite music from then until now.!!!
Virtuoso guitar playing at its best. Mike Oldfield is a genius, even if we don't all recognise it
Oh...But we DO!!!
@@robindutt7169 Yeah, we the enlightened and chosen ones at least! :-/

Solo puedo aplaudir

Respect
Out of this world. It's the 80's everybody is listening to disco stuff. He walked on stage and literally bombarded the audience with totally different tunes, even setting him apart from the likes of Paige and Blackmore.
So cool.
uhmm then you didnt live in that era. everybody disco, in fucking 1981?
You remind me that Blackmore adores Mike, he said that many times
When tubular bells first came on the scene it revolutionised the modern rock album- two 20+ minutes pieces of music with uninterrupted genius invading my senses. Music is music. Mike plays with your emotions as well. Superb.
Amazing how he plays guitar... almost as a violin! Skill and Lyricism blent together as one...
Fantastic! Oldfield is a genious. In a hundred jears the people wil adore him like Bach or Beethoven. Thank you so much for uploading this.
Long time ago but always mindblowing.
Definitely one of the most underated guitar players of all time.
I agreed whid you since im 16 !!!!
His problem,... he can play all instruments... :)
Underated? Noooo... everybody know. He s a never been a star in communication. That s different :)
Under rated???? 🤣🤣🤣 you can say now he is old . This man was a HUGE successful player, musician, composer. You comment is ignorant sorry. Like saying Journey, Toto are underated.
totally agree.
Mike Oldfield - Montreux,
Brilliant!!!!!!
Super!!!!!!!!
Amazing guy! Perfect artist, perfect songs!
Is it just me or is that piano dude amazingly cool? I want that sweater very badly.
THIS IS MUSIC, NOT DESPACITO SHIT
Afortunadamente tengo el DVD, fabuloso.
Still watching in 2021 xx
Seguramente el músico mas completo de la historia y sin duda el mejor guitarra que he oído en directo y estudio.
I like the way Mike gets the audience involved n.seems to enjoy every second of it too
Ok

Oh my gosh, I think that´s the best of all Punkadiddle-performances he ever did!
AGREED
I do agree
2023 and still agreeing!
Sin duda
Je n'ai plus rien à dire... c'est prodigieux...😢🎉
bought this DVD too, after seeing this on UA-cam
The live version is so much better than the studio track in my opinion !!!!
Ok
Es molt més vital.....
Hey Mike, where on earth did you learn to play like that!!
Apparently he was largely self-taught. Just goes to show how really good he is.
Definitely not on Earth.
Maybe somewhere else...
Um Genio .

3:15 man that note is genius
It's not in the original recording, just for for the live audience, just like the end when he's getting the audience involved. Amazing
love that 3.15 -3.30 note too - goosebumps
Sustain power 🎸
Empezé con vinilo lo más difícil, sincronizar golpes a dedo,platos Lenco de correa
Genius!!! He has everything you need as a guitar player. In my top three players.
This guitar monster is not only underrated... is also unknown by the mainstream industry. No problem. He will stay in the music history. Them are being forgotten.
I agree, so, so, so much underrated
@@SagaelKun Underrated, to put it mildly!
Everybody’s favourite musician is “underrated” according to YT commentators.
It really is an overused comment.
"unknown by the mainstream industry?"

You must be very hard to please
hahahaha
when musicians just made music. No marketing, just a live miracle
The girl at 02:36 shows it all
Mike oldfield is definetly not underrated. Everybody knows that he is a extraordinary Guitar player . How do you come up with such a statement?
What a musician! What a song!
The Mozart of our time!
Definately
So much exageration.
Reincarnation of Wolfgang Amadeus? Quite possible.
no, the vivaldi ;-)
Or Beethoven!
I agreeeee
5:35
Look 1: Realise you have a super power
Look 2: Testing your limits
Look 3: Realise the potential of your new power
Look 4: World Domination
Merci Papa de m'avoir fait découvrir cette vidéo et par la même occasion ce morceau ! Génial !
Now i know where Dave Mustaine has picked up his guitarface from .
3:00 Don't forget about Tim Cross, keyboard player. He was raelly good. R.I.P. Tim.
kolonizatorUK is he dead?
Yes, he died in 2012
Yes he played the keys and was music director for this live band. He was a classical trained pianist.
Yea I heard that somewhere, R.I.P!
This is from the Platinum Album. cleary underated . For me better than Tubular Bells ( and I love Tubular Bells). Platinum have more harmonics, nuances. Cheers !
My favourite album. No doubt. Still got the tape, 40 years after.
Love it so much. With the original Sally song.
Yeah, TB is very hyped (for good reason). So many other good albums by this incredible guy, though.
secretly loved Platinum for decades, glad I'm not the only one. :)
One thing i dont understand with Mike is how he could produce amazing melodies and feelings in so many themes and how he could deliver so many awfull others in the same time... its the only artist able of such a gymnastic
@@jerzinho92 all artistic creation have highs and lows . Paint,music, writing and of course music. Mike Oldfield have a very prolific career.
cant believe that i was there
Er ist der wahre Gitarrengott. Mann oh mann wie kann man so geil spielen... Unglaublich.
Pelé, Maradona, Jordan, Federer, Fangio, Senna, Phelps, Einstein, Newton, Beethoven, Oldfield….geniuses!
can anyone imagine if mike oldfield and mark knopfler ever jammed? would be a sensory overload
7 yrs later absolutely! MK really influenced some of Mike's work.
bring Lindsay Buckingham to the party
@@rayeisengoth6664 and Andy Dunlop, please.
@@scotlandsjard2836 And Steve Vai. It would blow my mind :).
83 UA-camrs had bought shirt stocks just before they clicked on this video.
When UA-cam started one of the first videos I saw - still one of the greatest
Fantastic as always. Mike Oldfield is without a doubt the greatest Musician EVER. I love him so much ♥♥♫♪☺
me, too!
Me tooo
Me yeah
Better late than never, but I think you're probably right.
Me toooo!
Fantastico. Lo único perfecto que ha creado el hombre, es la vida y la musica.

Mike is the king of new celtic music in the elven kingdom. He takes us in another world.

Because they clearly are all off their fucking face on drugs, look at them!!
1981...
all music of this genius is great!!! and this is one of the best.
A pity that we don’t see much about the epic Roland SH-2000 playing the fluty sound.

Mikes solos in this song are the b******s. I could listen these solos over n over again n not get bored. He just makes it look so easy too
Bloody good!
Amazing song, amazing musician. Just ordered the DVD a few days ago.
I'm surprised David Sylvain or Eno never called MO for his tasty artsy guitar although Wyatt did call him so good nuff
eterno mike
