[March1stgirl]

Pepsi is hot! love this song.



[davorinas]

Pepsi is not a good singer.

[MrFileshare]

@davorinas You're kidding, right? Pepsi is an excellent singer, and she's so extraordinary beautiful it hurts my eyes to look at her more than a few seconds at a time!...

[davorinas]

@MrFileshare No, she has intonation problems. For me, singer s intonation is numero uno. I hate being afraid of singer missing the exact pitch.

[crankfire1]

Good song

[mauricioalfredo83]

NICE :) this are those rare ocacion when the rmx ist better than the original...and this girl have so much strenght on her voice :)

[Ivanbelastegui]

I like her, but take away Maggie reilly´s voice and the song "lost" something...it is when somebody else sing the song taht you realise how good she was (and still is!). Thanks for posting, anyway, great live version

[shersher78]

Not very often that a cover is better than the original, but I personally prefer Hall & Oats version, it has much more passion.

[jtmichaelson]

Pepsi is good, I love "Man In The Rain" but I just have to say Maggie is not only one of Mik'e best singers but probably one of the better female singers I've ever heard. And this has nothing to do with the few clunker notes Pepsi threw in this version, but just that Maggie has a more sweeter sound that complimented Mike's songs that required it - ala, "Moonlight Shadow", "Five Miles Out" and "To France".

[Massima24]

wie die abgeht eh

[EdVidz]

She is so hot. She is also dreadfully off key and her vocal range is limited, Pepsi is incredible within her limitations like Belinda Carlisle, just gorgeously pulling you in. Pepsi gives a great raging performance. There is so much musical coyness in the way this song is put together anyway, the instruments and the voice. Always liked it, one of my favorite train wreck tunes. Oldfield is amazing.

[MaxMurphysUSA37901]

Thanks to one of those "Don't Forget the Lyrics" shows that featured the Hall & Oates version of this song, I discovered this original version. Loved the Hall & Oates version for years, but I think I like Mike Oldfield's take best. This live version is great.

[hrhreinn]

Goddamn Pepsi is hot !

[completelycrazed]

Good song but not a good recording...

[musentango1]

this singer is absolutely pure sex, but she can't sing. Her profession is better anywhere else.....

[selectors]

tienes grabado el concierto entero por casualidad? :O:O

lo tenía y se me jodió la cinta y no se donde recuperarlooo

[naval0n]

@selectors Curiosamente a mi me paso algo parecido con mi VHS grabado en directo de la 2... me trae muy buenos recuerdos porque lo vi con mi padre por aquellos tiempos en el 98 teniendo yo 14 años... Voy a buscarlo por la red y si puedo te lo paso, ok?

[selectors]

@naval0n buaaaa gracias, en serio, es un vacio muy grande en mi estanteria de recuerdos no tener este concierto, seria genial recuperarlo

[selectors]

@naval0n sería un lujazo, la verdad :) gracias anticipadas

[southofcali]

Anyone know who the female keyboard player and bass player are?

[Staufferprinz]

the voice of this woman c"ant compete with Maggie Reilly !

[TheMiniMoog]

Que manera de estropear la canción, no esta en el tono, sobretodo en el estribillo, no llegaaaaaaaaaaa. Pepsi ves a tomarte una Cocacola, a ver si asi afinas!!!. :-)

[PigskinMafia]

i think she does just fine

[bellerofonte1975]

Grande "Pepsi" Demacque y como no Mike Oldfield.

Cuando unes la mejor guitarra del mundo a una preciosa voz pasan estas cosas...

CANCIONES PERFECTAS!!!

Perfect song,Oldfield Ever...

[Luvelvetgold]

AMO ESTE TEMA!!!

saludos mike!!

[Drumr56]

Awesome version...

[NickInMesa]

@Drumr56 By version you mean by Mike Oldfield as opposed to Hall & Oates? You know Oldfield wrote that song? I love the H&O version too. Or do you mean the crazy sound he gets on this one?

[raulhds]

Increible canción, soy un yonki de esta canción, y menuda interpretación, que sentimiento le imprime, gran video, enhorabuena.

[24543re]

The best Mike

[Andres21479]

Althought Oldfield´s one is the original, this song sounds more Hall&Oates-like than his.

[SuperKulkin]

South Park S13E09  :-D

[PigskinMafia]

where was this at? pretty cool light setup

[Technitube]

the singer is kinda hot

[huwRu]

I agree

[kschyhoo]

Pepsi is absolutely the best vocal Mike ever had. Check Man In The Rain:)

[segundarepublica]

Qué bueno Mike Oldfield, Qué Genio!

[omadawn]

never seen it before..what DVD is it from?

[CelineDionL]

Buf... Maggie is better (in this song)

[royaltricks]

Maggies is good, but so is Pepsis version. I think Pepsi delivers a better and greater live performance.

Besides Pepsi looks hot and has a lot of charisma, I could marry her on the spot!.

Lots of attitude. Great voice, style and technique. Love her!

[quiteobserver]

@royaltricks what is her full name?

[MrFileshare]

@royaltricks Yeah, she's sweeter than candy!!!

[huwRu]

This is excellent

[tonymontana1974]

Who wrote this song i always thought hall and oats wrote it.

[soulhonkey420]

Mike Oldfield. Check out the album version, it's my favorite.

[bugulartell]

no they covered it, mike wrote the original :), although the version they did charted better

[PigskinMafia]

people grade too much, it sounds good and she looks good, ' nuff said!

[prosztata]

I love this girl!

[RebyTheRebel]

Who's this girl??

pffff, there's no match with maggie.

[3abductee]

She s' Pepsie DeMacque

[LiquidShorts]

Pretty girl, but her vocals are a bit flat at times.

[crushedz]

I'd like to have seen more of her performance,She seemed to be putting some muscle into it.

I wonder if her 'off' singing was to do with the interpretation of the song.

Great version.Nice to see an abundance of female musicians.

[manuabad1]

qué maaaaaaaaal directo de ella!!!

[kardistal84]

the best orinal songs

[kardistal84]

I have all concert and this of composition there does not have???? :(

[Trndad]

This isn't included in the DVD since this song is property of Virgin, and the DVD is property of Warner.

In the concert they also played part of the original Tubular Bells, and some more pieces from the Virgin times.

[Sammys2000]

please you tell me the name of DVD? thanks

[stevehal20]

ive got the live album of this concert, but they left out this song. Think it had to do with tb3 being brought out on the night. Does anyone know if the whole concert is available, not just the tb3 release?

[OMA2k]

The only version of Family Man, Moonlight Shadow and Tubular Bells Part 1 played at this concert is available only as home made recordings of the live broadcast by TVE2. Those were removed from the official DVD.

[fivemilesout1982]

Family Man was written by Mike Oldfield. It's from the album Five Miles Out, which was released in 1982. The version performed by Hall and Oates was a hit in 1983. In June of 1982, Family Man hit number 4 on the Top 30 in Ottawa. :)

[kardistal84]

good wersion :)

[19chimp24]

unbelievable live version of a great song..thanks

[tonymontana1974]

Who wrote this song mike oldfirld or hall and oats ? i kind of remember it being sung by that woman who sang moonlight shadow so it might have been oldfield who wrote it but im unsure.

[edgehog76]

Yes, maggie reilly's version was better on vocals but I Like much more this for guitars

[antcarjor]

tenia que estar penalizado con carcel estropear esta cancion con esta ¿cantante?

[trebor5319]

the worst song ever

what was he trying to do

absolute crap

[harmonymouse]

Who is she!?

[PigskinMafia]

pepsi

[nuriymiri]

she is Mike Oldfield

[lukaszswietek]

Pepsi sings bad in this song

[PigskinMafia]

i strongly disagree

[theBadloves]

Great pop song, but once you have heard Daryl Hall sing it....well it's hard to hear others sing it....even the original artist as it is in this case. Hall and Oates straightened out the arrangement too on their version. Sorry !

[Sweetlady1974]

agreed!

[PigskinMafia]

would you rather look at pepsi singing it or daryl hall??

i'm for pepsi

[theBadloves]

Fair point! We're agreed on that :)

[lafeffita]

tiene la media voz esta galla : )

[PigskinMafia]

very good , sounds almost like a recorded version.

[diegoivbe]

"Maggie" is Maggie Reilly, the one who sang the original song in the album Five Miles Out, and Pepsi is the one who sings in this video.

Dunno the rest.

[bglions2001]

date and location of this concert?

[VLADT2TP]

Maggie Riley - type into Utube with Moonlight Shadow...should have stuck with Maggie, anything else is a cover version of Ms Riley and Mike Oldfields work

[zulutda]

man I just love/prefer this version better than 'Macs' and thats saying a ton

Damn she owns this song

[kobyashi45]

Maggie may have hit some better notes but Pepsi is quite wonderful in her own way....and she is soooo nice to look at :)

[Jauly]

compare this to electroclash bands and her voice is godlike. btw. I think she does a good job with some own interpretation.

[ronnoten]

i like this, not as good as maggie, but still good.

[Jupiterdance]

this song doesnt work with this singer, sorry to say that, he should have stayed with Maggie.

[jatte67]

I'm afraid you're right. Pepsi did such an amazing interpretation in Man from the rain, but his does not work.

[zulutda]

i really think the only thing that makes the video is not only the performance of the singer but her voice too.

If you think anything else carries this vid... wtf the white men that can barely move side to side or the the half hearted atempt at playing the semi drums.....

only schade thing about this vid is ur lack of respect for women performing in france in horrible conditions... i think you should put more pie in ur face and try less and putting others down

[n2motocross]

zulutda:

...so you dont like white men musicians.

[henne67]

Klasse Titel, typisch Mike oldfield eben... ..aber das "Stimmchen" und die Sängerin kann man getrost vergessen...!!! Schade.

[zulutda]

the one guitarist seems likes the only thing that moves him back and forth is the tird in his pants

[zulutda]

Um I think she did just fine irregardless of hoe miss of a tune or 2... look at the other performers...the dude who plays the guitar looks like he could be in his 80s... at least she makes a commanding live physical/(and IMO vocal) performance

[zulutda]

at :18 sec the guy with the tird in his pants shows his moves

[neat40]

Good, but Pepsi's not quite in tune once or twice at the start. I'm afraid Maggie (original singer) has the edge with her sultry voice

[mistofoles]

Christ,she's ugly!

[SOUTHERNCROSSSTAR]

This clip does not do justice for the song unfortunately. Maggie is the only vocalist who can do a song for mike oldfield. When playing an instrumentalist the focus should be on the sound not the video. A real shame for such a great song.

[barleyblair]

Maggie Reilly was the original vocalist on the single.

[stellaviolens]

Loved this song and also the others who covered it too.

Pepsi!!!! wheres she been since the 80's , never knew her voice was that good.

Good live performance from the band too.

[rukia3nrya]

O.O I love it. I love she and how she sings this song, and make it powerfull!! Her voice is just perfect

O.O Me encanta. Ella me encanta y la forma en que canta la cancion y la hace tan llena de fuerza!!!! Su voz es simplemente... perfecta! xD

[WwwTitoMikeWebCom]

perfecta?? tiene una voz horrible!!

[rukia3nrya]

O_O'

Lo dices en serio? =.= Bueno, pues quizas a ti no te mole. Pero su voz es realmente buena. Me gustaría oirte cantar XD

[WwwTitoMikeWebCom]

no, no te gustaria. canto tan mal como ella. no olvides visitar mi web donde encontraras mejores cantantes que mr potato

[PABLITOVERBENAS]

más quisieras tu cantar la mitad, no blasfemes. si canta junto a mike no creo que haya elegido a la primera que pasara por ahí.

she rocks

[WwwTitoMikeWebCom]

la cuestion no es esa, mas quisiera ELLA cantar el DOBLE que yo... y si crees que estoy blasfemando es que la consideras una diosa, creo que has caido muy bajo... No olvides visitar mi web!

[201271w21313]

du has recht eine wahnsins stimme ,eine ehre für ihn zu singen

[FTPUsr]

Really good song . It got lots of airplay in 1982 .

[chelseauk2121]

She looks HOT! Er, great song as well..

[victorcentolo]

jajaj good comment, pepsi is better as a model than singing xDD

[rokerodeneza]

es una de mis favoritas de mike

[lordeck007]

wow 6th days is passing and Im still watching that awesome song ... maybe its strange but 4 me the best part of the song is first 40 sec..

Singer is really charming ...

[erinpielamb1]

Im a huge Hall and Oates fan but this version is fab all round,much better than either studio recording IMO.

[anomalistics]

Pepsi DeMacque is dead sexy. Yum.

[davemock]

I'd love to hear Daryl Hall try to hit Pepsi's notes. I was introduced to the song by H&O's more successful cover but this is really, REALLY nice.

[sonhiareyna]

ME ENCANTA!!!

[brianrytterjensen]

pepsi a former singer in wham

[ianclytle]

Who is she? She's absolutely gorgeous!!!

[Petzi62]

Hallo Deutschland(inzwischen darf man das vielleicht sagen?!?),

Mike und seine seine Schwester haben mich (ich bin Baujahr 1962) lange und mit guten Songs und Sounds begleitet.

Mike hat in diesem Jahr (2008) ein neues Album herausgebracht.

Danke,

Mike + Sally

Marc/Germany

04-2008

[crazybob43]

This is the only real version of the song....the other 2 bum boys...well bum boys just sum it up!!

[nazareth4372]

that made me laugh

[PabloRamosTojeiro]

Muchas gracias por el video! Una pena que no lo hayan metido en el dvd, es una joya. Yo lo grabé también de la tele cuando lo emitieron, pero me alegro que esté por aquí, porque la calidad de sonido es infinitamente mejor que en mi grabación. Gracias de nuevo y saludos!

[Norga71]

diese version ist etwas neuer ;)

[rocawearboy]

i born ´1988 my english is bad ^^ but i love this songe it's like electro or house style very good

[mimoscorpse]

Maybe Maggie wasn't available for the concert. She did "tease" her way through the song didn't she? She had a taunting voice for sure, this girl here isnt' to0 bad, I hope to god that "Pepsi" isn't her real name....po0r thing

[CupcakexScene]

he likes to have a few female musicians with him, is that geri halliwell on bass...lol

[hectic3006]

why u asses whine the song was made in 1982 and this clip is from 1998, like 16 years in between.. dude no wonder. BUT I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU DO BETTER AFTER THAT KIND OF PERIOD.

[rocawearboy]

nice girl ,got good voice

[JuLitoPc]

Gracias por rescatar esta joya INÉDITA en el DVD de la premiere de Tubular Bells III, en directo desde el Horse Guard's Parade, en verano del 98.

(Gracias también a La2 por retransmitirlo y repetirlo posteriormente, por lo que Mike ha ganado muchiiisimos seguidores).

Esto es música!!

[Miskojones]

OSTIA no sabrás donde conseguir el concierto completo verdad??

por dios es el mejor concierto con los mejores bises, y la intro dl tb1 es impresionante, no se no se editó :(

[JuLitoPc]

Pues la verdad que yo tengo grabado el concierto de cuando lo repitieron un mes después xq cuando lo emitieron en directo yo lo ví estando de vacas. Afortunadamente lo repitieron intacto incluso manteniendo los comentarios del presentador (aunq bien podían haberlos quitado xD).

Lo grabé en VHS y desgraciadamente con el paso del tiempo esta cinta esta hecha polvo y el sonido va y viene aparte del desajuste del traking.. una pena. Intentaré pasarlo a dvd y colgarlo, aunq la calidad no sea óptima.

[Miskojones]

SERÍAS MI DIOS!!!!!!!!!!

[JuLitoPc]

xD !!!!

Ojalá pueda hacer algún milagro editando el vídeo (cortando alguna línea superior o inferior x evitar el tranking, o con una marca de agua..) respecto al sonido lo único q puedo hacer es mezclarlo con la edición del dvd con la parte q se editó (es decir, el TBIII sin extras).

Una pena q no comercializaran la intro del TB, ni los vocales..

Tardaré algún tiempo, xo se hará lo q se pueda ;-)

[didoipod]

Por dios tio me cago... por favor hazlo que me caga el playback

[anomalistics]

It's a desperate song, and her voice has that keening, desperate, nervous edge to it, which actually adds to it, imho. I'll take this version of Hall and Oates muzak bullshit anyday.

[anomalistics]

It's not an "interpretation." He wrote it. Look it up.

[didoipod]

I like the song but Pepsi can't sing this one

[LidijaSU]

this woman can't sing

[quincy555]

She's spoiling it. I wanna see the video with Maggie Reilly. Her voice is such a difference to all of his songs.

[Jobeykobra]

I think this song is meant to be sung by a man, considering he screams "I'm a Family Man" and all that in first person.

[DallasHammster]

Um, no, it's actually all third person - not "I'm a family man", but "He said 'I'm a family man'".  And Mike wrote it with his band and Maggie Reilly was the first vocalist. However, Daryl hall and John Oates did an awesome cover version.

[poxselis]

...Mike oldfield is a genious on guitar...

Before i listening this music of hall e oats i say 2 word: Extreme song

[AtariAudio]

Not the original vocalist, but I think she does a fantastic live performance of it. Considering the beautiful dress she is wearing and looking quite scrumptious in it, her dance routine is fitting for the song as well. Mike rules.

[keikocat2001]

I have to disagree. The original singer has such a haunting voice. This one is merely OK - she does not make the song her own. Although this isn't a particularly inspiring live version either ...

[didoipod]

I must to disagree your disagreement.

she was screaming all the song. her voice never did the right sound.

[keikocat2001]

Not wanting to get in to a Chip 'n' Dale routine, I think we'll have to end it here. (However, if I could find my cat-litter-dust-covered 45's we'd be able to settle this like adults [and in my favour] :)

[tuechterbhoy]

Wobbly voice perhaps but she wouldn't half get it

[rikeznido]

desentona que te cagas pero el tema es la puta ostia, se sale por todos sus lados,enorme olfield

[fg67hhkd9]

Can't stand this singer. Her voice is all wobbly (technical term).

[Perranporth]

Is that you know who singing?

[RUBIALES5]

Me alegro de que alguien más se de cuenta de lo mucho que desentona Pepsi DeMacque. Parece mentira siendo una cantante negra, no? De todos modos grandioso tema, VIVA MIKE OLDFIELD!

[RelativeSilence]

Discrepo. Me encanta la interpretación de Pepsi, y especialmente cómo se mueve.

I don't agree. I love Pepsi's performance, and specially her dancing. Not concerning at all, I even say pretty sexy ! :P

[86f]

Great song but the lead singer's dancing is a tad concerning!

[Mydadsdog]

Pepsi DeMacque is without doubt outstanding, and Mike Oldfield's guitar playing is just incredible no one I have heard plays so uniquely!

[cdmpleasure]

Pepsi demacque, es la mas que me gusta de todas las cantantes que ha tenido

[Sonovox01]

So who's the tranny singing lead?

[JMRBAQ]

La cantante original de este tema era Maggie Reilly. ¡Eso sí! Sally tiene la mejor voz de todas las que Mike ha utilizado.

[28deMarzo]

Me gusta infinitamente más la voz de la hermana, Sally Oldfield, creo que se llama (¿dónde va a parar!), ésta desafina y todo...

[Nochewish]

this is a GREAT version!! better than studio version imho

[JellyBean2144]

This is sweet. Who is the lady doing the vocal parts? She did a great job.

[Nochewish]

Pepsi Damaque ;)

[JellyBean2144]

I thought that it was Pepsi (Pepsi and Shirlie....Wham) Thanks for the info.

[FOLLABAMBAS]

Hecho de menos "los conciertos de la 2" recuerdo este concierto cuando tenia 10 años

[smurfett66uk]

Hhmm.. that woman ruined it for me.

Great video though. Thank you for sharing.

[faouar]

Genial, pero la cantante desafina algo.

[burnthewitch]

That snare drum gets on my nerves.

[tomi888a]

OOOhh, I miss this from the DVD, and maybe other songs as well? Although I don't really like the singer. Her name is Pepsi Demacque by the way.

[SharpeyCol]

interesting though like they have said the singer voice is out of tune for the entire song

Gracias de todas formas, como curiosidad vale.

[Willbryant]

The original took a while to grow on me because it was a little off. This? This, is not so good. But it was interesting to watch. Thanks for posting.

[jumpoutatree]

SHARP!!!

[cappucinoblast]

ewww, i like the original better

[jaimixx]

This video was recorded from the Spanish TV, in the DVD only appears the "Warner" songs because of the royalties. Family Man is a Virgin song

[KaFaraqGatri]

I was there for this concert, and it was awesome. They missed Moonlight Shadow for the same reason.

[Crewpeace]

wow, where is this video from? i have the TB III DVD, but there is not this song...

[luchosoto]

the singer all time out of tune!!!
