  • parfait

    

  • Gorgeous, classy and beautiful woman. Lucky Mike !! 

  • not bad, but maggie kicks her arse,

  • bellissima canzone , armonia di musica e parole, armonia di tonalità vocali e strumentali... eccellente

  • Unfortunately it's a playback

  • i agree with Noteinvito

  • very,very nice music and girl singing too .

  • maggie era proprio bella

  • she is great too

  • they are miming guys!

  • Crimen Sollicitationis

  • To my opinion Maggie Reilly sang it better, though still song is fabulous. Mile - you are great!

  • LIVE ???? I dont really think so....

  • looks like fake, look that hands, he doesnt play that solo.

  • Dear All,

    I have a question about music and psychology:

    * Do you feel this song related to flying and aviation? If yes, why?

    THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for your creative ideas and brainstorm!!! :)

  • I know anita hegerland with roy black she sings when she was a child .schöööööööööön ist es auf der welt zu sein sagt die biene zu dem stachelschwein.

    she has a nice voice ,but in this song I really do miss the angel voice from maggie

  • great..

  • with anita, this song never get so popularity like maggie...

    anita success is just in the shadow :-) of maggie... and from here not known how much mixed of maggies voice ...

  • i'm 19 but the 80s still kick some ass!!!

  • Dave Angel Eco Warrior

  • This is Maggie Reilly ?

  • @LadyGagaFanClubTV Nope, that is Anita Hegerland which IIRC was also Oldfield's wife at that time. Interesting that they re-recorded the vocals for this performance (which is a playback thing).

  • @ChrisEchoes : Thanks =D

  • That doesn't look like Maggie Reilly. Sounds like her though.

  • Maggie Reilly much more better

  • good voice !

    

  • Maggie Reilly was a much better singer

  • @witchhunter81

    ay wey ....ay wey .....ay wey

  • @witchhunter81 yeah

  • @witchhunter81 Well keep in mind that this quality isn't as good as the Maggie Reilly video.

  • it´s not Maggie Railly! It´s Anita Hegerland singing live.

  • @havleeczech Explain how Anita can sing with her mouth closed at 1:22 och with her mouth turned away from the mike at 2:07.

  • @gotbild Ok I'll make it easy for you - try and say "four" ( your 1:22 allegation) with you mouth wide open. You can't do it and neither can Anita. To say "four" you need to almost close your mouth and put your top teeth on your bottom lip. Try thinking before typing next time.

  • it´s not Maggie Railly! It´s Anita Hegerland singing live.

  • Anybody who knows Maggie Reilly's voice knows that that's not her voice.

    And anybody who knows about music should know that many times, artists are forced to use playback. Muse was forced to do that, and their drummer took the guitar, the vocal went to the drums and they just were making fun of the idiots who made them use playback.

  • what a shity playback is this ? shame on you mike ,,I,,

  • This isn't Maggie Reilly's vocal track, but that doesn't mean it wasn't mimed here. This isn't a concert, it's a promotional TV appearance (an awards show, specifically), where miming isn't uncommon at all. I'm not downplaying it at all. I'm just telling it how it is.

  • Comment removed

  • Yep at 1.22 she misses her cue completely. Still a good song.

  • norwegeans look like hags compared to swedes

    lol

    and, Maggie Reily is doing better job on this one!

  • Very beatiful woman!

  • 100% live!!!!!!

  • Is that Harry Enfield on drums........

  • 19 people don't have a taste for music.

  • this is not playback you hear it =)

  • great song!!! and performance

  • Singer is Anita Hegerland, Mike Oldfield ex-wife from Norway

  • He should be in the top 20 guitarists ever.

  • @nickers2 dude do you realize how many others whos way better than that there is?. only i am almost that good and i have only been training in 3 years

  • @UzumakiNarutoKun96

    Do you know who you are taking abou? Go praktice your ninjutsu on your garden and leave guitar playing to experts, konoyaro. Or prove that you can play better!

  • @BlackBunik dude this song is easy to play and i would say its good for beginners to learn.

  • @UzumakiNarutoKun96

    Hmm perhaps you are right. Try however one of those concert versions. E.G from Berlin 1999. :D

  • she isn't singing in playback!!!!!

  • damn! this girl is so hot...

  • @stylico

    i think shes old now maybe not hot anymore

  • Comment removed

  • Are there any high quality videos of this, like there exists here on youtube of 'Innocent' which was recorded from the same show. Peter's Pop Show I think it was called.

  • Sooo eighties!!! look at her hair!! lol

    beautiful song indeed.

    and yeah it's playback...tipically of that 80's late shows...who cares...

  • Wow, that´s a cool live-version! Anita did a very good job on this one!

  • She so cute :)

  • 17 people are retarded! great song

  • orignal voice but so obvious playback music. check out the guitars, no leads.

  • anita can come "sit in" with my band anytime she wants too.

    There's nothing wrong with her singing or her being out front.

    Great job on this one.

    Maggie reilly's version is good too.Come on....what's not to like with both singers eh? :)

  • you can tell someones got talent when they sing live as good as she can...amazing song and band

  • My mum teached me a trick to see if people are playbacking or not, something she used to do as a child.

    If you want to know if they're playbacking, watch their throats and chest. While singing, they should move in that typical singing matter, the muscles in the neck should be seen moving.

    This doesn't happen when you playback, if you want to check it, try looking at yourself in a mirror while singing and playbacking..

    She's singing live here.

  • @ScorpBiatch your mum, taught you a trick. Heres another trick, check and see if their guitars are plugged in.

  • It may or may not be live - I can't be sure - but neither is it the original vocal. That's not Maggie Riley's voice. Actually having now heard the guitar solo, I'd say it's a re-vocal on top of the original music track.

  • gee i hate mike hated miming that song

  • I don't understan why say "Mike Olfield" ¿that is the name of the singer woman?.

  • @kinered her name is Anita Hegerland, and Mike Oldfield is the one who composed the song and sings on the guitar

  • Well, Maggie Reilly or not...I'd say Anita Hegerland did a superb rendition of the original song!

  • this song is song only with maggie!

  • @chriskokkinos Obviously not. It was written for and originally song by Anita Hegerland. Who is Norwegian, married with Mike Oldfield, now divorced, returned to Norway with their 2 children. Anita Hegerland were a child star in Norway and Sweden, but most of all in Germany. She had several hits with German, Roy Black, from when she were just 6 or 7 yrs old. Clips can befound on youtube.

  • @kroeg11 i don't told as anita is not talented. SHE IS VERY TALENTED, but you know, for example, if Maggie have to sing the INNOCENT is the same thing. So for each song with his best singer! Anyway, Mike Oldfield will be a LEGEND!

  • she is swedish right ?

  • @kalliballii nope, she's Norwegian.

  • @kalliballii No she`s norwegen. married Mike oldfield,but back in norway now.

  • f ... it! i can't beleive it !! i was there!!! great song great time, thanks for posting !!!

  • Why is there a debate about playback? Who cares? The voice is obviously Anita's, and she does a great job. The video is great, and I love the way she moves. Well done, Anita!

  • 0:46 - playback

  • THE ORIGINAL AND THE GREAT INTERPRETATION OF MOONLIGHT SHADOW! PLAYBACK? NO PROBLEM. I LIKE THIS.

  • ever ever the best ANITA HEGERLAND AND MIKE OLDFIELD!!!!!!!!! THANKS FOR THIS GREAT SONG!!!!!!!! I LOVE SO MUTCH!!!!!

  • great song

  • All you people who accuse Mike of playbacks, he's MUCH more talented than ANY! band that has been released today. Most musicians now can play drums bass and guitar, and maybe sing… Mike can do everything, he wrote Tubular Bells when he was about 17… Justin Bieber is famous cause he's a wannabe fan boy, who looks good to women, and I'm sure he'll fade in about a year, if not less… he's already on his way down

  • I also think it's not playback. I like it so much!

  • Comment removed

  • who's the guy with the baseball cap?

  • @hawkwind999 the guy on bass with the baseball cap looks like he could be Phil Spalding (seeing the way he moves while playing), Mike Oldfield's bassist in the 80's, also known for playing in GTR with Steve Howe (of Yes) and Steve Hackett (of Genesis).

  • i love this song!

  • good shit

  • @Iaaso damn shes beautiful, she kinda looks like tarja turunen (from nightwish)

  • @Iaaso  Thats true! Like young blond-hair Tarja :)

  • best version, is that his second wife?

  • She sings live.Hello....this is Mike Oldfield

  • @Janina182 yea, that's old Mike on the guitar =)

  • @Janina182 true... mike oldfield is great but i like tubular bells better (original '73 recording)

  • don't think this is playback !!

  • What a voice she has, this little norwegian girl.

  • the girl who's singing looks like the girl in the music video of "Milli Vanilli - Girl, I'm Gonna Miss you" ! :)

  • good miming

  • very good

  • Hey, HEY!

    Where is Maggie?! No Moonlight Shadow without Maggie Reilly!

    Hmm, but anyway, THIS IS ALLSO TRULY AMAZING! I LOVE this song and I LOVE MIke and Maggie, Why i dont menture this woman, is because i dont know her, but she seems be really good!

  • mitica!

  • I can't understand WHY this great song never made it in the US!! This is truly great, and I've only discovered it here on YouTube!!! What a shame!!! it makes me wonder what OTHER great songs never made it here!!!

  • fantastics ! it was more than 24 years ago that i heared it .

  • it´s playback but the voice is not maggie´s voice.

  • It's Anita's voice :)

  • OH WHAT A GREAT SONG

  • Ok, it´s playback but who cares? Beautiful song and beautiful woman with beautiful voice. I remember her singing Mitt sommarlov (My summer vacation) in 1970 when she was 9 years old. A swedish version of La galondrina. She was also popular in Germany singing German. Search YouTube for "mitt sommarlov " if you want to hear her singing back then. Greetings from Sweden.

  • She also sung the fantastic song "trollkarlen Lurifix". that is my favorite.

    Greetings from sweden again.

  • @gotbild "Ok, it´s playback but who cares?"

    Ok, if you say... watching Oldfield on the lead I was almost convinced... a few moments seemed iffy.. Ultimately I think you're right. As well as I remember it didnt' seem a repeat of the album. It IS some good gee-tar.

    At some point I imagine getting up a good fake version is probably harder to do than actually playing it!

  • @gotbild I think it's definitely not playback. her singing differs from the studio version.

  • @gotbild I think it's definitely not playback. her singing differs from the studio version.

  • @gotbild Playback???? wich video are you waching??????

  • @flaviodr350 1:23 If she's singing in live, it means that she can sing whitout moving her lips ! ^^

  • @gotbild It's live, not playback...

  • Magnifique, j'aime beaucoup !

  • Oh, sorry for Anita, it really sounds like Maggie Reilly's playback - guess they pushed her as I cannot understand why would she do something like that?. She could do it for herself. So could Mike - changing sounds of the guitars - no pedals, no volume-knobs-turning ... Too obvious ... TV shows ...

  • anita sounds great, never heard her do it before, i dont mind if its the original sound track.

  • epic :)

  • they are using original soundtrack..listen carefully..

  • Yes i think so too, this is the identical sound from his Stratocaster yet he is playing a Telecaster which does not sound the same.

    Interestingly it is said he made Tubular Bells on a Telecaster originally owned by Marc Bolan which Mike and his father fitted a middle pickup too

  • @ihsanmansor It can also be seen in guitar solo...

  • @ihsanmansor They are using the instrumental soundtrack, but the voice is not by Maggie Reilly for sure. I think they pre-recorded a version of the song with vocal tracks by A. Hegerland and used it in playback for the TV show.

  • @ihsanmansor yes it´s true

  • miming..

  • playback.. jeje

  • She ha  a magical

  • I like Anita in this cover. Prefer Anita over Maggie. I'd like someone opinion of Peter Szilvia Szabo' cover of this song.

  • Szilvi's performance is very good, however her voice is sopran however I think this song demands mesosopran voice as Anita or Maggie.

  • great song I love to sing it.

    Poland :)

  • Timmy Mallet on base?

  • who cares live or not??

  • This is not live...but Anita singing Moonlight Shadow????

  • LIVE????

  • This music is a prize for my live.. I dont speak words because this song is phantastic. Thanks. Gracias 1986NvS . Saludos desde Madrid, España. Óscar Ríos,

  • Tihs look old. Just how old is this song? Dated back to the original release please.

  • 6 may 1983

  • wOW...it's so old and so good!? Amazing.

  • dude! moonlight shadow LIVE Belgium Mike Oldfield. It aint live is all, have a nice day valoirtega

  • its live, stupido

  • stupido, its not live

  • at 1.23 mouth moves a bit out of time hahaha

  • But Maggie is the best singer to this song!!!!

    I think Anita doesn't speak clearly.

    It sound like "Carraed away ba a maanlight shadaw".

    And is Mike Oldfield there playing guitar? I think he's not, but I'm not sure.

  • Still Sounds OK to me...

    I love it...

    play it all the time..

    LEE

  • Not live.

    Please do not say wrong.

  • I think you will find looking at my old 45's It was his sister Sally Oldfield who sung it originally. Her name is actually stamped on the 45's Vinyl???

  • interesting...

    Maggie Reilly was supposedly a relative...

    but She wasn't...

    Anita was His Wife at the time of this video..

    Maybe Sally was mixed up with Maggie??

    Lee

  • she destroyed the guitar solo . :|

  • belliissima

  • Where's the improvisation Mike ? Hmmm Comfortably Numb (pulse version) hmmm

  • I could listen to this all day..absolutely haunting!! Anita sings it superbly and is so utterly stunning!

  • How this woman is his name? Nobody will replace the original version! Because Maggie was just something in his voice!

  • Yeah, good mime. But She's not the original singer, right?

  • You're right. The singer on the record was Maggie Reilly.

  • One of my favourite songs. Anita is like an angel. :))

    I love the way she moves at 2:50

  • Had to be recorded beforehand - Oldfield's back-to-back guitar solos do not jibe - two different effects, and the segue is not right.

  • @bogeyboy1313 Yep, you're correct. That's NOT a live performance. A good mime, but bad switchover from one effect to the other.

  • Please dont tell me you haven't heard about guitar pedals??

  • but yes, in the second look it sems that he doesn't have the pedals there either. :P

  • yes! i think its live, lisent the original song and comapre!!!!!!!

  • Great voice!!!!!!!! Great song!!!!!!!!

  • one of the best songs of all time - live or studio version. m. oldfiled = genius

  • In fact, they recorded it before the show, with Anita's voice. And then it was all playback. She said that in an interview. :)

  • Whoever sing this song will be under the shadow of Maggie, she is the best Mike can find besides Maggie.

  • Her name is Anita Hegerland, from Norway actually:-)
