[bikenpreusse]

@NarcissistsDie :thx for info. Super!

[HimerEntertainment]

@bikenpreusse

yes ;-)

[toomanyrocks]

that's ACID!

[lmac1970]

North Star is a beautiful bit of music. The original Philip Glass version is ok, but Mike Oldfield gives it a galloping spirit of its own. Awesome.

[esttrato4]

Es de ferrari la gorra del batería??XXD

[purrusco]

@esttrato4 si esa gorra es de ferrari y sabes quien la lleva???pues ni mas ni menos que simon pillips el mejor bateria del mundoooooooooooo. jejeje..puedes ver una de sus mejores actuaciones en el video  mount teide live

[ORERETARRA]

A mi lo que me pone de mala hostia es que UNO halla conseguido el vídeo íntegro después de andar detrás de contactos de la cadena de televisión la cual guardaba el concierto. Y ahora la gente lo utiliza hasta poner propaganda de su blog o página.

PD: obviamente el enfado viene debido a que ese UNO soy yo, claro.

[RioFede]

Lindo mateial,gracias.

[DJWiny1]

[decius51]

Great music!

[tillemulle]

må altså sige, at den arogante oldfield ikke tiltrækker mig. men hans musik.....

[Platinumfinale]

SIEMPRE ha sido y será EL MEJOR (para los siglos de los siglos...)

[tocamadera]

de niño yo queria ser el. me compré una guitarra, era muy mala y empecé a hacerle piezas, el cuerpo... nunca pude hacer tres acordes seguidos pero descubrí que hacer el instrumento era mi camino, ahora soy luthier, hago violines por culpa de este señor ( y algún trasto eléctrico de vez en cuando cae)

[76mascaret]

mike un grand parmis les grands....!!!

[tomsacadden]

how good is that!

[Cusoidea]

Precioso ese North Star... :') ese fragmento es uno de mis favoritos de Mike. Ojalá hubiese estado allí... pero en el 84 ni siquiera era persona xDDD. Gracias por compartir este documento!! :)

[BetterTasteThanU]

[Standertojas]

North Star is the best! Not here, but on studio album, Mike's guitar really crying. Thanx 4 music, Mike.

[jackesunperro]

yo estuve en el concierto de Barcelona en el Narcis Sala y fue una pasada. Además fue mi primer concierto de un grupo extranjero. Que recuerdos!!!!!!!!!

[sirtinycreep]

Those trumpets sound terrible.

[arias4535]

excelente! un genio por siempre

[Fergal97]

1984...Yo todavia ni nacia y Oldfield ya habia hecho granes compociciones, un verdadero maestro en toda la extension de la palabra y uno de mis favoritos!

[ovnitest]

@Fergal97 yo soy del 68 tenia 20 años y mike oldfiel ya hera mi ejemplo a seguir....es mas que un maestro.. es el betobeen del siglo 20 y 21

[againstGULag]

[xDroflrofl]

[joanofarcxxi]

beautiful!

[1968guti]

Un gran genio, siempre hizo lo que quiso y como quiso, y a mi me hizo escuchar horas y horas de buena musica. gracias St Mike

[MoveOverCasanova]

much better than other, older live version. Simon Phillips saves the song! Where are the first 2 parts?

[Coneman3]

Platinum has a lovely feel to it, so different from his other albums.

[gernikako100]

Bikaina.

[alexcurd]

incredible document!! thanks so much for sharing!

[fezkraut]

Towards the end he borrows the melody from "North Star" by Philip Glass

[UFOBevy]

Brilliant,, thank you for tis up load..u rock

[MoveOverCasanova]

the song is even called "North Star/Platinum Finale", with P. Glass credits on the album!

[alex75ok]

thanks for uploading, just great....

[gmcjetpilot]

Simon Phillips on drums, he produced with Mike Oldfield's Tubular bells. Simon Phillips has played with every one. I did not know he played with Oldfields

[goytabr]

"Platinum" is one of the most underrated Mike Oldfield albums. Far from brilliant as "Ommadawn" or "Amarok" but so fresh with that jazzy touch, and he managed to harmoniously put Philip Glass and Gershwin in the same album. Talking about that, I loved the "North Star" section in this live version!

[lilbelz1]

mike oldfield is a legend!

[billytemple51]

Saw his Platinum concert in Berlin at the ICC in 1980's.Lovely.

[fanchette122]

Un saludo.

[decius51]

MIKE

[eXaCtAcT]

he played a nicer version of this at montruex.. its like 15 mins long. all 4 parts of side one. its on youtube. try finding it =0

[arteq3000]

Niesamowita płyta. Jedno z ostatnich wielkich i wspaniałych dzieł Mike'a...

[kosmaczek]

ja też uwielbiam Platinum. Jest niesamowita. Dużo kapitalnego basu.

[Kymgb88]

Un excelente tema North Star, uno de mis favoritos de Mike

[diegoivbe]

Es increible como cambia de un tema movido a uno realmente profundo.

[jnishar]

perfect drumming by simon

[RaleighDawlishRaynar]

4 minutes 9 secs - "Take over the main bass part, man - I want to riff".

Well done North Star.

[TwistedAnvil]

In the CD version, there's a riff from Tubular Bells!!!

It's at 2:07 on the CD but i couldn't hear it in this version...

Anyone else notice that?

[PrZemek44]

This is great... MO knew how to 'fit' his, so 70s, progrock, music into the 80s so that it sounded cool back than, but was still so true to the amazing original!

[timshen6475]

Fantastic! Platinum brings back fond memories of me and my brother walking around the kitchen doing the washing up to this :-)

[fanchette122]

Spectacle kALINKA 1983. Les anciennes de l'AR Düren s'en souviendront sûrement....pas vrai Jo Davin....

Un de mes meilleurs souvenirs...

[Timetraveller2208]

France had Jean Michelle Jarré, but we've got Mike.

He has a brother that lives or did on a greek island, a music composer too; Terry Oldfield.

[hejhejcovece]

does anybody find similar paco de lucia and mike????

[hejhejcovece]

this is beautiful :o

[geraberl]

He used to play bass in the Kevin Ayers band long before he became known to the world.

[oldfart4751]

Some failed Guitar players end up playing bass, the first four strings are the same as bass. Hasten to add not in the case of Mike Oldfield.

[nikosnikos66]

Mike Is A Miracle In The Music . I remember was a child 1982-1985 and my music then is hard rock ( sabbath- zeppelin - purple). When i hearing mike something change inside me . Thanks Mike forto the music especialy for my memories.

[georgetunnah]

i think its great to see mike on the bass, and as a bass player i can only hope i see more p.s. i love that bass guitar

[AkaFaroutdink]

The master strikes!

[giangiu]

Masterpice.....

[georgetunnah]

watch at 2:19, he throws in a bit of the finale of side one of tubular bells (the main riff)

[Hubip]

Well, he does that on the studio recording to, after all. :P

[harnois75]

Excelent version with Phil Spalding on bass and Simon Phillips on drums, can't get better musicians than that. He also did Crises and Discovery live that night. Crises in particular was stunning.

[59mar]

...that's oldfield on base guitar.-

[harnois75]

Yes. you are right of course. Oldfield picks up the bass for the solo. I'm so used to Phil Spalding being a bass player I made the assumption.

[gtrtech13]

Yes he started out on bass apparently (after the classical guitar at home)amazing how some great guitarists started on bass, but it makes sense musically.

[benediktmarkota]

Not true. Mike started with guitar (Sallyangie) and learned bass for Kevin Ayers...

;-)

[mangar35]

my favourite out of the whole collection, not that I do not like the rest of his work but this my favourite of all times. I can remember having heard it on my friend's radio when I was still a kid and it took me a long time to find out who the band was. whenever I hear Mike Oldfield I can't stop beating whatever is around me. At work it annoys all my colleagues, but damn its good. Go Mike!!!

[eagle416]

I just love this! I had it stuck in my head all day today, and needed finally my fix to come home and listen to it!

[twilight0406]

einfach klasse, wie mike da herumgerannt ist, um seine band den leuten vorzustellen (per namenspfell) na, und natürlich seine tolle musik! danke!

[Ph4n3s]

This is awesome!!! Yeah PLATINUM :)

IIII-AAAAA-OOOOO

Love the white and light blue colours on Mike! ;)

[Ang3lback]

My friends and i like to believe that III-AAAA-OOOO sound actually says Diii-naaa-moooo :)

[Ph4n3s]

Hehe... well, there isn't much difference is it? :)

Kind regards,

Vanesa

[stalledrangen]

Boring album. The first fiasco from Mike Oldfield. This is not what Oldfield should do. But it´s much better live than in the studioversion.

[Ph4n3s]

If you think it's boring then what are you doing here watching this video? o_0

[lsdmadman]

good stuff but sho dont tickle my testicles anywhere near as much as anything he did in his earliest incarnations (up to discovery)

[BrandonBlume]

This was before Discovery. This was his fifth album right after Incantations.

[Maxiclaudi]

Yes, I changed the music taste of half of my Gymnasium i.e. Grammar School class by letting them listen to this. And my family, who got inundated i.e. brainwashed in between!

[Ph4n3s]

Lol :)

[Apokalipsz42]

Én is!

Moi aussi!

Me to! :D

...amugy J'adore :P

[decius51]

Imádom!

Je adore!

I admire it!!!!

[decius51]

Imádom!

Je adore!

I admire it!!!!

[antoniodcz]

Wow, can't believe this clip is here- I was at this concert which was held at the Velodromo in San Sebastian all those years ago.

Much as I like his music, I find that on most occasions when he takes his studio albums and plays them live, it just doesn't work. Obviously you can't perform an album like "incantation" live exactly as on the recording

as the number of musicians required would make

the gig too expensive.

[rubennea]

Bad

[jeanette39uk]

This chap will always live in Jean Michell's shadow....nuff said.

[Dreamcosplay]

They don't even sound the same.

Jarre : electronica

Oldfield : guitars+vocals

[decius51]

Marha nagy!

[KISHUSZAR]

Tenyleg?

[banocalvo]

vaya conciertazo el de donosti!!!

ójala puediera retroceder 23 años y asistir a ver al gran mike.- platinum es uno de mis favoritos

[BellyJituli]

I hate Maggie!!!

[PrZemek44]

As much as I love Mike Oldfield and Platinum, this version is my least favorite. Meggie has such a beutiful voice and here seems totally out of sync...

Sorry.

[kokoss87]

LOL! The final is great! I don't like this interpretation of North Star, but it's funny. Good stuff! :D

[jamespahtagueul]

So great ! I remember all the nights spent in my bedroom, all lights switched off, listening to "platinum" with my walkman... So good old times !

[rg2027x]

lol! i'm with ya...cue Tangerine Dream, Larry Fast/Synergy, Jarre, Jean Luc Ponty/etc ";-)

[Pianoman555]

This is so great!!

[LordXeux]

QUE ES GRANDE ES

Es uno de mis discos preferidos de Mike Oldfield

[waretape]

This is Philip Glass music. The original track in Platinum album was impressive1 This performance is really poor -far away than the original track!

[Nicolasherdwick]

Only the part starting at 3:30 is originally from Glass, the rest of Platinum is MO's own work. This last part, North Star, is adapted by David Bedford and MO to form Platinum part 4.

I like this live version and the album version, but they're not really comparable. The voices are better on the album :-). I don't know what went wrong; Reilly is normally excellent live.

I don't really like Glass'original, a bit too repititive and not melodical enough for me. But that's just personal taste.

[losinsociables]

genial! me encanta mike sobre todo estos primeros discos! a partir del QE2 la cosa degenero
