I found this in 2007, when I was 12. I've remembered it ever since, listened to it more times than I can remember, and hopefully will keep coming back to it for many years yet. It's just brilliant, start to finish.
Well it was either that or the Power Converters at the Toshi Station. But as usual, there's menial droid clean up piling up holding promising guys back on the farm.
Some lyrics: Oh, a sailor's life is the life for me How I love to sail o'er the bounding sea And I never, never, ever do a thing about the weather For the weather never ever does a thing for me!
I swear on the next tour they stretched that out and played even faster by the end, but we're talking about 39 years ago, so my memory could be tricking me.
Fuckin cool!!!!!!! I bloody LOVE the Sailor's Hornpipe and they've banned it from Last Night at the Proms! SO I URGE YOU ALL TO BRINNNNG ITTTT BAAAACCCCKKKKKK!!!!! From Jenni in London! of all places LOL ;)
He left the drummer behind... the keyboard player could barely keep up... even the the audience was too slow and all they needed to do was clap... that is a masterclass of mandolin playing.
hahaha! I've been fascinated by mike oldfield's music, and his current website picture suits him so well... he looks so distinguished and bold... but now, seeing what he used to look like! LOL! now that's just embarrassingly dorky! :P If ever there were jokes about mike oldfield, they'd center around that hair :P looks like battlestar galactica(1970s) hair!! :)
at 1:10 he looks bored "Oh my god i've played this SO MANY TIMES" and at 1:42 I have no idea what the drummer was thinking when he shaved that morning... :D
He can't yell, just think that when you yell you relax all yourself, and he fells anything except relaxed. He has to move both hands veeery fast. This is a "strength face", like the one few seconds before. Very good video, 5 starts.
anyone else think the piano player looked a lot like Richard Vranch or whatever from the old series of Whose Line? the ones with Clive Anderson as the host?
Sometimes, the best things in life can be watching Mike Oldfield and company play the Sailor's Hornpipe.
This video makes me very happy. :)
Its great. Awesome!!!
An absolute musical genius, love all his music
Thank you mr. algorithm for showing me Tubular Bells and Mike Oldfield.

Most brilliant version of this song
Canada's love for Britian is astounding, and we love you too
That mandolin, shoulda burst into flames before he finished... WOW!
Mejor de la historia y mejor multi instrumentalista capaz de tocar mas de 40 instrumentos diferentes
Mandolin masterclass by Mike Oldfield!
THE MIKE OLDFIELD GROUP THE BEST..... ! ! !
Abselutly one of the geatest music genies ewer.
Mike is a genius.
Must have been a great concert.
Thanks a lot for posting
The rest of the band are seriously struggling to keep up. This is amazing.
Breathtaking! brilliant ! absolutely amazing
this has been stuck in my head for the past month i am so freaking happy i figured out what it was
Superb musicianship all-around
Christ He's Soooooo young... and so good!
It's amazing, thanx for posting! Brings back great memories.
Got the album version but this one is far superior. What an effort to play at that speed. Fingers must have been raw.
Again and again - brilliant!
That was class 👏
Outstanding, he plays everything
that outstanding the speed he plays it cleanly... i wish i could !
Oldfield has always been jaw-dropping.
Damn, that was amazing!
Luke Skywalker should really join the Cantina Band. He's an amazing keyboard player!
Well it was either that or the Power Converters at the Toshi Station. But as usual, there's menial droid clean up piling up holding promising guys back on the farm.
And they wonder where emos came from 🖤
@theRiekman a very insulting comment
woozaaaaa!!!! mike looks like a surfer..... awesome!!!!
i would LOVE to have been there
Brilliant!!
Yay! Hurrah! Go, go, go!
Mike Oldfield ❤❤❤
quite clearly the pianist is Micheal Biehn
Wonderful
*Guitar bursts into flames*
Tim Cross, what a performance
this guy is really talented
First class
J'aime beaucoup Revenez Recree dans Ce Bel univers Musical que vous nous avez fait decouvrir Pour Nous!!Vous Nous Manquez !!!
Klasse so ist der Start
@Regnberg I sang this while reading it for the first time perfectly, like it was stuck in my head. Amazing those Futurama writers are.
Mikes' Music is really Great
this tune actually sounded like a baroque piece at the beginning ;D
It's like the last night of the proms ...
Some lyrics:
Oh, a sailor's life is the life for me
How I love to sail o'er the bounding sea
And I never, never, ever do a thing about the weather
For the weather never ever does a thing for me!
This is one of those videos that's impossible to only watch once.
Maravilhoso!
01:40 - I wish my day job was as fun as that drummer seems to be having! :D
Welcome to the 80's
@Funloverdude Thank you!
I swear on the next tour they stretched that out and played even faster by the end, but we're talking about 39 years ago, so my memory could be tricking me.
Was hat der Mann für eine Fingerfertigkeit, klasse!
YES! I hate it when people in the audience think they should clap in time to the music.
The second reason Tubular Bells Pt 2 became my fave song! the first being the caveman... which Mike seems to have left out in this version... *cries*
this is a shanty you dance a jig to whilst out at sea with cabin fever. YAR!
... glad that the hornpipe upped the tempo to the point that the hand-claps turned into toe-taps or finger-taps
Fuckin cool!!!!!!! I bloody LOVE the Sailor's Hornpipe and they've banned it from Last Night at the Proms! SO I URGE YOU ALL TO BRINNNNG ITTTT BAAAACCCCKKKKKK!!!!! From Jenni in London! of all places LOL ;)

I love the way the song breaks in at 00:57.
Grande
Anyone else think he looks like Alex from 'A Clockwork Orange' here? XD
Also, amazing performance ^w^
Of course, I know. But those particular lyrics are from the Disney movie.
The pianists shirt would be a fine addition to any wardrobe

@8bit4ever Yes you're right. Spot on.
@Crandasher Greatest comment ever!
I like it
Anyone who would even MENTION justbieber here, should be mouth-breathing somewhere else, jeeeeez
José Roberto Well, you just did so who's the mouth-breather now?
He wore me out, just watchin'...
I just read that Tim Cross, the guy on the piano died.
Yes. But not during this performance.
lmao
Great musishman
All this stemming from an obscure poetic verse written by a English writer to a mysterious realm of fiction , amazing
at 1:10 he looks bored "Oh my god i've played this SO MANY TIMES"
and at 1:42 I have no idea what the drummer was thinking when he shaved that morning... :D
Let's see THIS on the next Guitar Hero.
@PodMonkeyCWC I thought that this is Tim Cross playing
agreed...
it is him!! o_O
AH HA HA HA! The frets on a mandolin make playing a violin so easy!
🤣
he looks like hes enjoying the preformance.
and what about his fingers ?
he DOES look like Mark Hammil (Luke) but his wardrobe is WAY better. That piano shirt is SWEET! I agree with Stalledrangen 100% tho.
Damn, even Mike Oldfield covered fieryrage.
This one seems to be a great song to get tendonitis...
He can't yell, just think that when you yell you relax all yourself, and he fells anything except relaxed. He has to move both hands veeery fast. This is a "strength face", like the one few seconds before.
Very good video, 5 starts.
A human incarnation of Animal from the muppets on the drums!
And a Brian May clone on the other 😅.
Pardon my language but this is fucking awesome.
Sailor's Hornpipe is at least a century older than the Alice in Wonderland novel, let alone the Disney adaptation.
bin gespannt :D Vieviele spielen dabei?
Like I say it, Oldfield can fix anything
is that luke skywalker on the piano?!
Mike was, and still is one of the best surfers on the Guitarr ;D!!
The Piano-players outfit looks a little bit gay, the 80`s ;D.
anyone else think the piano player looked a lot like Richard Vranch or whatever from the old series of Whose Line? the ones with Clive Anderson as the host?
😊
@nordeide
Awesome lyrics.
For some reason, after reading this, I feel like eating spinach and giving a big muscular man the twisker punch.
Un extraordinario tutorial de "como rallar queso"
mach doch ein video davon, ich bin neugierig wie es andere spielen koennen
just majic
@Crandasher There might be some Stephen King in the mix. Some kind of three way.
@TheJazz2002 No, that`s Stephen King without his glasses^^
wow, I'm surprised a riot didn't break out.
