Mike Oldfield - Montreux 1981 - Conflict

[elecolonna]

Non ho parole...

[Dessagidir]

@Southernmetalhippie lol and maybe also being american, ´cause these people have ordinarily a bigger lack of musical cultivation?! lol

[Southernmetalhippie]

@Dessagidir That is too true for me even to be offended...

[AHEH2009]

Is 1 of his gr8´st plays, but plssss dont forget his add-ons in concert.....

I Just love his music...keep it coming plsssss

[aussieangie]

'Mike Oldfield'...(and another master).. 'Rory Gallagher' we're both left out of The Rolling Stones Mag's...top 100 guitarists of all time list. Go figure.!!

Rolling Stone...the magazine for kids.!!

[davidfaubion]

rivetingly dramatic, piercingly poignant, soothingly scintillating

[Southernmetalhippie]

I talked with some of my friends about maybe doing this at our school's talent show. They looked at me and said "Who the fuck is Mike Oldfield?"

Sometimes I hate being 17.

[Davccelion]

@Southernmetalhippie, be sure that they loose more than you. Don't worry, this terrible feeling will ease a little bit in a few years (I talk out of self experience!)

[Zliq71]

good stuff! Haven't heard it in years. Thanx!

[Cuneglasus]

Pure class !!!!!!, Oldfield will forever remain at the forefront of originality in English music, he is fucking superb !!!!! Platinum (1979) and QE2 (1981) are his finest works for me! Note at 1.13 and 3.43 the eternal far reaching global influence of J.S.Bach STILL! Orchestral Suite No2, 7th movement, Badinerie, (exerpt). Bach is the greatest achievement in the history of music, but Oldfield has reached global status with his incredible music also !!!!!

[larconardy]

King Oldfield

I've Just found out that Morris Pert, The drummer on the right hand side of the stage has died at the age of 62.

[Deuterio72]

AMAZING

If you liked this,you will luv "Exposed"!

[polcor82]

Very very very good!!!

[Coneman3]

Lovely nod to Bach.

[Davccelion]

@Coneman3 , it was Tim Cross' idea (the guy in the keyboards).

[PrZemek44]

@Coneman3 Yes, that's where musicians used to look for inspiration, classical music, not tam tams... :)

[RpNcy]

Look at his finger game is simply amazing, Mike Oldfield is a great guitarist. Excellent video.

[polcor82]

All concert is amazing!!

[Maegiste]

He's soo good. Just look at his posture, he's playing that guitar like it was an extension of himself. :D

[Dyslexica]

I love how Mike makes his instruments seem to BEG for mercy under his usage. He rarely looks at his fingering, which means he knows which string is next and where to manipulate the fret to get the next note. He's nothing short of amazing. I pray for him daily!

[theoldgalah]

makes so much modern music sound second hand there doesnt seem to be any new mike oldfields out there

[zepedrodematos]

I belive there are so many virtuosos out there.. on my behalf I am fortunate enough to know many of them.. excellent and soulful musicians adn most important creative minds, of all genres, what I belive happens is that music industry just dosen't care about them and their music.. the same for the general public! and one always needs to eat ;)

cheers excellent MO video

[theoldgalah]

You are probably right.The music industry pushes what it thinks will bring them the biggest profit.

[ben2692]

This is just FANTASTIC. There is no other word for it

[MoonlightShadowlolz]

Mike oldfield > Beethoven, Mozart

[sonilink2]

because he lived longer hahaha

just kidding mike is my hero!

[naamiokalle]

Just look at his fingerstyle playing, it's awesome!

[lsdmadman]

hayzukreesto!!1 ii'm flabbergasted part 342325

[sonilink2]

what a tone

even with a SG junior I can't have one like it

[gbozoki]

This version is just... wonderful.

[Leechy22]

Danke Mike, oh I love that song.

[aussieangie]

God.. I just love this.

[amarokobe]

[tocamadera]

me abrazaría a esa guitarra como a mis recuerdos. LLegué a ver la música en colores con esto cuando tenía 16

[lsdmadman]

gadz..thought id never see Qe2 live..godawesome

[Maxiclaudi]

Yes, I loved it in the eighties when it came out, startled many of my class mates... and love it still. If I could play an instrument, this would be one of my favourites!

[blinky879]

When you listen to the QE2-Album, you'll not realise that it would work live, but - this one is a witness - it's mindblowing !

[supes72]

a message to mike,ive followed your music since i was small.you are best.dont ever stop...

[eagle416]

i second that

[4bibimimi]

I miss what Oldfield and Tim Cross could do together. Maybe it's Montreaux, but this was more Celtic jazz than any other rendering, a conversation with drums and guitar. When I saw them do this in Toronto in '82, an on-stage smoke break erupted during the drum solo, with a round of smirks. It was really funny.

[gor86]

Absolute genuis, loving the SG, Mike's music help to lighten up my days as a refugee

[matpiccirillo]

Amazing...just amazing..

[paisleyprint]

I echo all the praise such as "superb", "scary", "wow", "amazing", etc. But one thing that has yet to be mentioned is the mesmerizing curve of his derrière.

[dpmhiaddict]

was that Brian May guesting on the kettle drums?

maybe his younger brother eh? lol

[DESECRATOR6669]

NOTABLE!

[lsdkhatru]

Exelente !!

[romarioflazaco]
