and something similar then...

It's some kind of ancient African

[novamotel23]

@Virtimera - it's not some kind of ancient African. Which is a continent, not a country. That's like saying Asian in a language. Oldfield uses "Idioglossia", which is basically a made up language, most likely Irish or at least Celtic in some form. More specifically Maggie O'Reilly uses it, I would guess.

Look up Sigur Ros, or listen to Lisa Gerard singing on the soundtrack to Gladiator.

James Joyce was using it nearly 100 years ago.

[Virtimera]

@novamotel23 By saying African, I meant "one of ancient african languages". Just like English, Swedish, Danish, Polish, Norwegian, Italian etc. are all European.

[novamotel23]

@Virtimera - what? seriously? are you high? jesus christ.

[Virtimera]

@novamotel23 What exactly are You angry at me for? I only said how it sounds to me. I probably used some inaccurate words. Why are You trying to prove my 1-year old comment is wrong?

[Jaws65]

Great Band: Oldfield/Reilly/Cross/Frye/Per­t/Moerlen. The best.

[chronikoscope]

Pierre Moerlen doesn't play on this concert and you forget Rick Fenn (bass + guitar)

[Jaws65]

@chronikoscope : thanks for warning !

[Sadowsky1965]

@chronikoscope Yeah, you're right. I did a mistake writing the names.

[joh2]

@Jaws65 Interestingly only Oldfield and Reilly appeared on the studio version of "Sheba" from this lineup - Oldfield handling the instruments except for drums, played by Phil Collins.

[Jaws65]

@joh2 Oldfield has always played all instruments in his records, until "Five Miles Out". It's no surprise fpr his fans. Obviously, when he started with concerts, he needed a band.

BLESS THEIR HEARTS...this rules , if anythang, intensely indelicately and with a caustic diligence heretofore unseen or something...

"The perfect song for a donation Clip for TV about the kids from Chernobyl. "

This is one of funniest posts I've read in awhile.

'Bout spit my coffee out

ROFL - good tune though.

[technfreak1]

I wrote this funny comment

[tacuberto]

MIKE OLDFIELD...ahora en 2008 escucho esta musica y no dejo de sorprenderme del virtuosismo de este musico!!!

[Davccelion]

@tacuberto , Mike Oldfield es la leche... si a los 19 años ya había compuesto y grabado él solito el disco que tiene su tema maestro, Tubular Bells!!

Y sólo hay que ver cómo toca...

[hulladog]

Wery best!!

[deliciousapes]

Buy the dvd and don't support illegal uploads please.

[technfreak1]

I've this concert on a legal DVD

[deliciousapes]

Congratulation.

[technfreak1]

The perfect song for a donation Clip for TV about the kids from Chernobyl.

[lsdmadman]

Qe2 rules diligently

[lsdmadman]

Qe2 rules diligently

[technfreak1]

I can sing this song.

[lsdmadman]

considering what a virtuoso he is on the geeeetar , monsieur oldfield comes up with some awesome keyboardish/vocodish wackiness

[lsdmadman]

ye gods this rox!!!Loved QE2 fer decades , never dared dream to be seeing it live...mucho thankys

[Yannicko1984]

mike oldfield grande! aunque ahora decepciona muchisimo..

[amarok1990]

He will be to you

[emilio404]

Maggie is having an off day here! And keith Jarret on drums ;)

[progolfer40]

how is it an off day???

she still beats you on the days she loses her voice!

[soepil]

Oh, Maggie Reilly, beautiful british 80s woman :-)

This performance is ace, thanks for uploading !!

[Maxiclaudi]

Did you know that she also recorded a CD with the Dutch folk group Flairck, check it out!

[greyzone1964]

I know this song since I have seen the concert in tv!

What ist the language? Nonsense words or scat?

[technfreak1]

I have this concert on DVD

[sitztdummrum]

Afaik it's just nonsense. In his early years Mike used Maggies voice like an instrument and let the music speak for itself.

[smutje06]

he is one of the best´s

[dexonavite]

mike oldfield

mitico XD

[Bushwerck]

I love this song.

Think Mike Oldfield is a really genius.

[technfreak1]

This is my favorite song from Mike Oldfield

[mathchadwick]

[technfreak1]

I like this song and I like the vocoder!

[Sonilink]
