Mike Oldfield - Montreux 1981 - Punkadiddle

[dunebasher1971]

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 ;)

[rojblake82]

@dunebasher1971 This tune is sci-fi in billions of ways and it is ace in, billlions of ways and it sounds at the end spooky and like someone is passing away.

[stevealeify]

sono tutti "fuori" ma indubbiamente sanno suonare, e anche molto bene1

[dyttejytte]

this man is god in music i love his music hear it everly dag

[SebGeddy]

Amazing how he plays guitar... almost as a violin! Skill and Lyricism blent together as one...

[andieundanna1]

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.

[rojblake82]

@flavioapollonio666 I agree Mixiiox123 is a dingbat, I have loved mike Oldfield and his music since I was aged six especially on Horseback and in dulci jubilo and lots of others Mike Oldfield has done.Some people have no taste, in music you are right.

[rojblake82]

Superb tune, in billions of ways and it is very sci-fi in billions of ways.

[MassiveBeat3000]

...and again! All My Life!!!

[1lofoten]

One of the clips on YouTube I keep coming back to. Again and again. And again.

Fantastico. Lo único perfecto que ha creado el hombre, es la vida y la musica.

[mixiox123]

I Hate Mike Oldfield I HAte He's Music Hes Te Stupidest artist in the world

[48377]

@mixiox123 what do you hate about his music?

[TheCyrix1]

@mixiox123 there is stupider than him : lady gaga

And apparently you're one of her fans !

[Hipocentaurus]

@TheCyrix1 are you jealous?

[Sj2492]

@mixiox123 another word like that and I'll come to you and just ram your f***in' in the ground, alright!! ...

[flavioapollonio666]

@mixiox123 you are an idiot

[DeZaragoza]

Eres un genio Mike!!!!

[renard44350]

que du bonheur

[langersamstag]

the only time i've ever seen him smile

[ProfessorWonder]

Has anyone here played Kirby?

[santantnin]

A PURE Genius

[nesalek]

Πολύ πιο εντυπωσιακό από την έκδοση του δίσκου!! Τόσο τέλειο, κι όμως χωρίς στίχους!

[fasarya]

only oldfield is more than all of the pink floyd members...

[SamauraiRippeR]

Modern(ish) day Mozart.

[jsangilg]

Love this song!

[Milowfan1234]

I'd have loved to be in Montreux 1981 :-)

[11gamero111]

he`s a big genius. did you see the man of the drums? xd is the brother of chuck norris, in the bass

[Milowfan1234]

What a musician! What a song!

[SamauraiRippeR]

I guess it was hot there.

[davidpunkass]

chuck norris is playing bass...

[SteveResin]

Dare I say this is even better than the album version. It ROCKS

[FCManUnited12]

@SteveResin

I also think this one is better than the album version. 

[lilly13407]

ooohh, mike *I LOVE YOU*

[loes2]

this use to be a jocular song of Punk .

this is why they play it bare-chested

[riotrichi]

I´d like to be 30 years younger...

[jemen1709]

how do i get this sound which starts at 0:30 ??

[kuhfreak53050]

Das ist absolut mein Lieblingslied!!

[PrZemek44]

Isn't this... kinda Justin Bieber hair style? :))) Just more natural. Nothing against Justin, nice kid. Mike Oldfield made progrock a 'brighter place to be'... He's one of those 'love him or... don't' musicians, but you can't possibly hate this guy. 

[Christoph1964]

Bäh - nackig! 

[lilly13407]

@Christoph1964

geil.....der schlägt jeden oberkörperfreien mann um längen.

er ist the sexiest man alive und der beste musiker dazu.

[henriblasselle]

Mike Oldfield a joué avec les meilleurs...Kevin Ayers,Eno,John Cale,Nico,Robert Wyatt...que dire de plus si ce n'est qu'il incarne l'émotion pure?

Sa collaboration avec David Bedford a aussi donné des morceaux de légende...Sirens...Instruction­s For Angels...The Rio Grande et son final cosmique...

Dans le même registre,David Allen et Gong,Dashiell Hedayat...

[szekelymihai]

The way he mezzed the crowd at the end is ... jawdropping

[eurofix]

In Poland we could say "zajebiste" in english fu**ing good:). Thanks for sharing:)

[blanquitasBHF]

zgadzam sie, zajebiste!!!!!!!!!!

[Amdaro]

he will ever be the magic master. Mikes music was with me my whole life, in good and bad times and helped. A lot of things I rember and I am thankfull, that my kids shared the music and still do. Glad, that I saw him playing live but this

concert must have been great. Greetings to all other fans.

[ddm1706]

@Amdaro indeed, he made music for all sort of moments we encounter in life. His music grew with him and still now I love his new albums.

[BelYo]

I was three or so when I first heard this song on a old scratched vinyl of my mom and I still love it!

[pascalrose11]

i love it <3 mike oldfield 4ever

[Dagumo82]

Damny great! Oldfield 400%!!!

[marzipanguy]

haha, totally awesome.

But can it really be 29 years?

[axzck]

greatest musician of all time.

[ultreality]

Absolutely agreed.

[dee74raz]

The live version is so much better than the studio track in my opinion !!!!

[MaltoCort]

@dee74raz you are right, this one is absolutely great

[wojteks86]

I agreeeee

[aussieangie]

Totally right. This is a brillaint version !!

[oldfield15may]

Una de las mejores del platinum.........

[immorecai]

No me canso de escuchar la canción y ver el video...las sonrisillas del final son geniales...

[pramalgos]

Ale czad!!!!

[Supportahol]

One of the greatest!

[paride061]

Sei un grande Michelino. soprTTUTTO NEI Paesi scandinavi.

[langersamstag]

omg no ear plugs no lip singing just pure and clean music man do i miss that

[patrol750]

Hey mate,28 years....

please continue!!!!!

[TheMastermetallica]

Mike oldfield est un génie non seulement au niveau musical mes a la guitare un talent unique qui ne change pas durant les années ^^

[morralejo]

SUBLIME

[Ommadawn0101]

Uwielbiam to spojrzenie... Dokładnie 5:38... Rozpływam się ;) I zawsze ciary jak słyszę tą muzykę... Jest jedyny!

[locura77]

Buenisimo!!!

[claudiall]

WOW.

However, I'll have to agree on many commenteres here: though I find Mike very attractive (and a cutie, yes) he's also very skinny, very pale and very hairless. Nooooot so sure I wanna see that. But I guess if he's spoofing punk, then it's appropriate...? Actually, dead on!

[1lofoten]

Gotta agree on that one. He's hot as hell.

[locura77]

Genial!!!!!

[AVEdarkangel1989]

look at his throat. he is singing the melodies

[revistaespejonet]

Afortunadamente tengo el DVD, fabuloso.

[WickerCheese]

fucking wonderful!

[helipe87]

me encanta!

[basilislar]

mike it's so great that's te great rythm of punk

[vanquem]

EXELENT

[dasadopeboy]

i don't agree with your spelling but i agree with what your saying....... ; )

[farkasamed1]

Amazing! The rhythm and the improvisation is excellent!

[dee1974raz]

The live version is so much better than the studio version !!!

[barbalila]

Absoluta admiración

[mgraven666]

Ten kawałek miażdży po całości!

Nie mogę się od niego oderwać!

LEGENDA!!!

[SteinLevental]

Wath DAAAA F........Olfield is a musico awesome

[Ruizencio]

5:02 that's fucking scary!! xD

[healthandcosmetics]

too bad maggie doesn't have a part in this song l.m.a.o.

[vanquem]

Que dire a part que cela est magnifique tout simplement

bravo Mike

[A09vzkez]

no estoi muy puesto en mike oldfiel aparte de tubullar bells m puede decir alguien el resto de obras mas importantes o significativas?

[chrzaszcz3]

A mi parecer : Ommadawn, Incantations, Moonlight Shadow, To France.

[A09vzkez]

gracias

[ivanrsracing]

a si? simplicidad es lo que ha hecho hasta ahora? music of the spheres es simplicidad? pocos consiguen forjar una obra tan "encajada" tan perfecta... los hijos de nuestros hijos estudiaran a mike oldfield como si de un wagner se tartara de eso no tengo duda

[diegoivbe]

aun no escucho music of thespheres, ¿como es? O sea, si es igual a sus primeros trabajos. Ommadawn FTW

[ivanrsracing]

bueno...en realidad nada que ver, aquello era mas épico, music of te spheres, es algo mucho mas sinfonico, mas cuadrado no se deverias escucharlo..no deja indiferente la verdad, creo que es la culminacion enmusica de un genio

[diegoivbe]

mmm gracias por la aclaracion.

Punto aparte, creo que mike deberia volver a hacer un trabajo como en sus inicios; aunque los tiempos hayan cambiado deberia arriesgarse, lo hizo antes con tubular bells, ¿porque no lo haria ahora?

Gracias y adios. =)

[jarrelana]

es una obra maestra y el mejor tema en mi opinión, Harbinger...;)

[jarrelana]

amen hermano!!!...¡peazo de respuesta!

5***** pa ti...Xdd

[biggeorge77]

Was there a T-Shirt shortage in 1981?

The people who were able to wear one seemed to have them too tight, everyone else simply just didn't wear one.... :D

[bakouliskos]

Apparently, it was during the big cotton "crises" ;-)

lol

[madcomposist]

つまんない曲だな

[gardenass789]

He was put on this earth to make so many people happy...

[DeclanC1993]

@gardenass789 That he was :)

[ThorWaterschei]

super naturel symply the best Mike for ever

[vanquem]

Mike oldfield Exelent

[Julius3365]

This sg with one single coil surprised me with that unbelievable sound...

[rockandmetall4life1]

You are wrong it's a ''p-90'' humbucker...

[stever1957]

A P-90 is not a humbucker - it is a single coil.

[hintanjul]

FANTASTIC-SEEN HIM AT NEWCASTLE IN THE 70's and 80's 3 times. anyone know if he is touring soon???

[rooster123456789012]

Mike for ever ! One of the greatest !!!!!!

[drchepa]

AQUEL mike oldfield ERA bueno!.....

[FOLLABAMBAS]

Estoy contigo

[drchepa]

gracias pero es que sinceramente si este hombre no se pone las pilas se puede llegar a extinguir, ya que sus ultimos trabajos pecan de una simplicidad vergonzosa,.....

[FOLLABAMBAS]

Es la edad y el tener todo bien atado, cuando ya no tienes más que dar y vives del nombre es normal que no te quieras superar. A este lo jodieron las discográficas.

[jarrelana]

Es impresionante la creatividad de este hombre y en uno de sus comentarios sobre "Music of the Spheres" dice: "no estoy capacitado para crear una obra desde cero".....8-O...¡pues si llega a estarlo!...yo creo que es un Mozart contemporáneo, así de simple...

=JyB3kbQt6uU

=zbf6BkYM32Y

[PrZemek44]

This girl at 1:20, priceless... Amazing music and... I mean, you don't have to be gay to wish you could give this guy (as soon as he puts on his shirt) a big hug... Loooove you, Mike!!!!

[26BAT021]

The Master at Work....nuff said.

[nature09000]

j'adore,good

[deepak2811]

[kaczorkoles]

[saintseiya78]

solo una persona frustrada desmerece a los grandes talentos.

[dreamafrikis]

[dreamafrikis]

It's a shit...

I hate Mike xD

It's very boring

[dasadopeboy]

[saintseiya78]

the question it's very easy,mike oldfield it's a celebrity in all the world,and you? anibody know who are you? you are only a frustrate freak.

[aussieangie]

This song is AWSOME !!

... have to say, especially at 1.10, watching Mike Frye bare all. He's just gorgeous. I've wanted to get that off my chest for so long.

Cheers !!
