- Extracto del irrepetible e inigualable concierto de Oldfield en el mítico festival de Knebworth (en Inglaterra) en 1980. Ommadawn parte 1ª completa, simplemente espectacular!!
No one can or will ever hold a candle to Mike Oldfield. Without doubt the most under appreciated and under valued guitarist/musician this world has and will ever know. Tubular Bells, Hergest Ridge and Ommadawn are the definition of masterpieces.
I personally think this is in the top five most amazing musical compositions of the 20th century. Simple yet complex. Inspired, mellow, exciting, great build up. Brilliant!
"Simple yet complex"
You need to listen to more music
And very emotional, very!
@@KingRich616you don't agree with him?) Let's hear your recommendations, I will listen it and will give my honest opinion. I bet you will same some crazy sh1t like Rush 😂 But I hope I'm wrong. So what is it?
Mike Oldfield is an often overlooked guitar hero
se can leave gtr Hero concept to adolescent dumb guys
Anybody who thinks they know who the "best" guitarists are needs to hear his playing on that day. Exceptional.
Damn straight. He was amazing!
@5:27 Masterful and amazing.
Exactly
Whenever I hear Mike Oldfield's music for the fist time I swear I've heard it somewhere before, like his music is encrypted in our DNA somehow.
actually, it is ....
It's too good not to be
As soon as I heard the main theme of Ommadawn, I thought of the theme tune to The Magic Roundabout.
jajajaja.....somehow indeed
Me too
My favourite album of all time, it’s like all my roots as a human go back to,it
Sea Shells Yes, exactly... This album is my favorite from Mike. It has a certain "human" feeling in every note.
Yes but no
12:58 man... Mike slid up to his note here, a risky move in its own right, and then made a decision in milliseconds to reach to a higher note and bend that note up past the stratosphere in such an unearthly squeal. Most visceral thing I've ever seen. The solo end of Ommadawn is the most emotional, raw thing I've ever heard and felt in music and his performance here is the strongest of any I have found. I get goosebumps every time I come back to watch it, and 5:25 is just unhuman writing and skill.
I remember when I saw this was out in stores in the 70's, I loved TB. I've loved this for over 40 yrs. Space music extraordinaire.
My God. I had never watched this. This is the best performance of Mike's best piece. Wow. Impossible to sit still with it.
The Gong rhythm section, consisting of the incredible Moerlen brothers and bassist, made this a blast. Also, Oldfield seems to be really in it (unlike some later concerts I saw when he seemed a lot less engaged).
The best Oldfield & Co performance EVER!!! I adore it!
Dunno, i think the slap bass and drum solo ruined it
Es un genio, sus manos son una bendición.
Uno de los mejores compositores
I was here. Not to Mike, with Respect, but to Pierre and Benoît Moerlen. For Love. Pierre was,is and rest my Soul's Brother during many and many time. That's all. Love YOU.
This was one of Pierre's favourite gigs, along with Hyde Park,
"Oh yes, great day, sun... we came on stage and started playing - it was just magic, fantastic. Everybody played really well, the public were really with us. This one and Knebworth, but Knebworth... I don't know. I think I would say Hyde Park - that's the one which came to me straight away."
Pierre was, and will remain, my favourite drummer of all time ever!
Mike`s best Performance ever!!!!!
To this day, I have no idea what those two Irish ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don’t want to know. Some things are left best unsaid. I would like to think they were singing about something was so beautiful it can’t be expressed in words and make your heart ache because of it. I tell you those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a Gray place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made these walls dissolve away. For the briefest moment every last man in Shawshank felt free.
Best Spritual awakening music 😇❤🙏🏻 Thanks to Mike oldfield for glorifying my loneliness.!!
Only reason for youtube is to keep these gems alive,for anyone who want to listen. Ads is the plague...

Dios mío, y esa percusión... Increible
10:57 there aren't many pieces of music as enchanting and gut-wrenchingly beautiful as this guitar sequence here.
it's mesmerising....especially that last cadence before the drum section =^)
And @5:27 to 7:36. Stunning and awe inspiring. I have no other words.
Rest i peace drummer man.
Escuché por primera vez a Mike Oldfield en 1979 y aunque pasen los años su música nunca pierde la magia.
Absolutamente magistral !!! Maestro de maestros. Eterno Mike Oldfield !!!
Una obra maestra del rock progresivo, magia en todo su esplendor.
Calificar la música que hace Oldfield como Prog debería ser un pecado, a mi modo de ver, Mike hace lo que hace Mike, es de esos pocos artistas que se sale del molde de cualquier genero xd
An incredibly long and complex composition by popular music standards, and one which I daresay will never be surpassed.
Mike oldfield genio.
I can't believe how I'm finally seeing this live
This is the album that introduced me to Mike Oldfield, and probably his best IMO
Irrepetible e inigualable. Pasaran siglos y esta joya siempre quedara como un evento histórico. Gracias a dios, la tecnología ya estaba lo suficientemente avanzada para que se pueda recordar por toda la eternidad.
R.I.P. Pierre Moerlen y Tim Cross.
Que en paz descansen estos dos excelentes e inigualables músicos.
Indeed.

@@andreacarlini7069 Aw shite, really?
The drumming segment at the end is most impressive.
Yea! Who's the drummer? You know his name?
When Mike counts in the Choral part , my spine tingled
Almost tribal, I love it.
superb! stellar drumming too.
Who are they, who r the drummers? I agree they're amazing
@@MasterMote Pierre Moerlen, the legendary drummer of the famous progressive rock band Gong, and his younger brother Benoit. ✌
@@marijanbrkic4875 ty. Love prog rock (why else would i be commenting on a mike oldfield video) gonna check out gong now, i think ive heard some of their songs but not big on my radar
@@MasterMote I would recommend their legendary Radio Gnome trilogy (Flying Teapot, Angel's Egg, You). Enjoy! 👍 ua-cam.com/video/Up_t-7DX0qw/v-deo.html
He just is a visionary. A sound traveler, what swims in his head?
Truly an amazing concert, such creativity and musicianship, seldom seen in today's pop culture! Rest in peace Tim Cross.
Pure magic
Oustanding Performance!!!!
De partager un tel moment, c'est Noël avant l'heure !!!!💖
BESTIALES todos y sobre todo los percusionistas.
the part in 3:55 have always made me giggle. It is such a contracts to anything that has been played before.
Bravo !!... love Mike Oldfield forever !
You must be a fuckin´ amazing woman! :) :)
Insanely good!
Espectacular, un genio en esa época !!
Having bought the album when it came out, I can't believe I've never seen this... Thank you for posting it. ❤️
Bravisimo.🇲🇽
Storming live version of this great music !!
The bassist is doing very progressive job there after around 7:00, and throughout.
Mike rules totally.
“One two three...” is great.
It’s apparently a very good recording, others are of lower quality.
Yeah,you're right!! Well, generally, "one, two, three is reserved to Recording studio sessions. Pierre said to me, about this part, that he was "surprised" to hear "that" on stage..Lower quality, I agree, and NOT the totally of the track's version...
5:25 God, this guitar part.
Yeah, he knows his way around a fretboard for sure. Consummate musician!
@@michele3314 Underrated guitarist.
@@Sancho_Retablez ...and composer
Si dios no existe o la puta vida despues,,,,existe Mike Oldfield.
Einer der Gründe zu haben Musik in sich spüren zu lassen....best emotional Guitar
Finale spaventoso
El caballero de la musica el genio que salio de una guitarra
ahead of its time, looking for its equal
My friend Stephen, his sister Sally and her friend Jane camped the night before, were there for the Capital countdown with MC Richard Digence, saw The Blues Band (with their friend Keith Jarrett ? ! on piano - can anybody confirm this as I had never heard of him at the time ?), Lindisfarne and Santana (the reason for our being there, Steve knew every member of every lineup) then left before Mike, Elkie and The Beach Boys.
Extraordinario!
beautiful set.
Un genio
Esto es musica....nada mas que agregar
Badly interrupted by adverts. How could that happen?
Genial
最高です
One of Progressive Rock pieces is the closest to a Superior Minimalistic Symphony! One of the best works of Mike Oldfield ever!!!
Perfect
шедеврально!
Meisterhaft! Ganz wichtig für meine musikalische Prägung.
Genau
Peter Lemer; cripes. About 2 years during the 50-piece orchestra experiment that resulted in the ‘Exposed’ album. There are several UA-cam videos of concerts we did
Rupert; I haven’t heard that album.
Peter; mega project. Turning sequences and multitrack into real orchestral parts. A massive feat of memory for the 'rock band’ section. The orchestral players refused to memorise their parts, tho’.
Rupert; What was the result of people not learning their parts?
Peter; 1. the roadies had to provide music stands and sheet music
2. Mike didn’t get the eye contact he wanted from those players. Near the end of the last tour, he instructed the roadies to 'lose’ the flight case with the music in it, and the players had to play from memory. it was an amazing gig, although not as clinically perfect.
Rupert; How did you come by the opportunity to play with them?
Peter; Richard Branson phoned me :-))
Rupert: What was the experience like for you?
Peter; the experience of the phone call, or the experience of the band?
Rupert; both, the band mostly..
Peter; the phone call is easy - I felt flattered and excited. The band? Hard work, rehearsing, touring, socialising, quarrelling, sharing, more hard work, travelling, big stages, Musicians Union enclaves, young schoolgirls causing havoc with the string players, mike experimenting with his exegesis insights, lots of technology, some of it groundbreaking, too much union politics, exciting performances, deep concentration, brotherhood, envy, clashes, pranks, too much to encapsulate just before bed
Wish I had been there.
Me too. I was just 18 back then...
@@kimiagain2543 I _was_ there.
@@gilessteve lucky you :-)
out of the ordinary👍😊
GREAT
5:27 this part is killing me
It's weird that he hadn't a single live album
That one guy playing the clarinet looks like "Well I normally do classical stuff but fuck it."
She was the. Best
Madre mía el solo de batería o_O
Where the heck was the camera from 10:58 to 13:05 ?? Should have been on MO the whole time, especially his face and guitar...
🎸THE BEST 😃
Wow! That's something. It was so good it brings a tear to my eye. My favourite MO song. There's something about it that always taps deep in to my soul. God bless you, Mike Oldfield. Anyone know who the female singers were?
The girl in blue is Maggie Reilly and the girl in red who comes on halfway through is Wendy Roberts
@@ukstevedouglas Wow! Thanks for the information, Steve. Yes, Maggie sang on a few of Mike's singles, e.g. Moonshadow, I think. But I wasn't familiar with Wendy Roberts. Now I know. I appreciate the helpful comment, Steve. Cheers. Tony
@@ukstevedouglas Did you go to this gig, Steve?
@@tonyanderton3521 No - I just recognised them from other Oldfield videos :-)
@@tonyanderton3521 here's some young Maggie Reilly with her first band Cado Belle ua-cam.com/video/f2GFzSxK4iU/v-deo.html
Why hasn't this full set been released on DVD / Blu Ray!! I had to rip a copy from my old VHS to put on DVD.
To good
these tones must be ilegal, to much pleasure for my ears
Need to adjust the speed of the vid so that the sound be correct. 5% faster
Trop fort 🤘

That is good, drum, guitar, singing, but that jump suit was best, she was a babe singing.
I think that's Mike's sister, Sally.
Her name is Wendy Roberts. She sang on the Platinum LP and tour.
But, there were both of then Sally an Wendy.
Really really amazing.
Isn’t one of them Maggie Reilley?
@@PaulBaudy yes she is
Meine Fresse, das kommt nie wieder...
15:46 Bring him in Mike...
8:17
does anyone know who the two female vocalists were?
Blair MacEwan Crosbie one his sister Sally to other an Irish artist, not sure of name, Clogau or something
They are Maggie Reilly (of Moonlight Shadow fame) and Sally Rogers. Definitely NOT his sister!
Maggie Riley (green ) and Wendy Roberts (who sang vocals on platinum).
Maggie Riley and Mike's sister Sally.
@@Chriskimbermusic Yes - I recognise Maggie Reilly
really a mistake in sec. 48?. , because i dont belive it
What!
46'seconds big fail...I guess he was stoned
Who is the girl of the chorus?
Maggie Reilly and Maddy Prior
@Dark_Magus67 Is Wendy Roberts, thanks anyway
@@36deivit it's ok,thanks
funny
Que imsoportable el solo de batería.
imsoportable NO, INSUPERABLE....! ! !
Nah jodete
Ciertamente, muy bueno pero un poco excesivo.
No debe haber sido fácil salirse del éxtasis que ellos mismos provocaron... evidentemente estaba preparado para lucir a los tres, Pierre Moerlen, Benoit Moerlen y Mike Frye, y el arreglo del final es la evidencia.
