Vangelis- Earth- We were all uprooted- Performed live -

A piece from Vangelis' first solo album "Earth". Thanks to a certain youtuber (cheers Phil) who sent me the album at the beginning of the summer, It just grows on you, the unique unworldly atmospherics of organ and percussion. Hope you like the video, tried to keep everything like 1974!

What more can be said? Wonderful! You're becoming prolific. As a non-musician, I am still baffled as to how you can play all those keyboards so effortlessly. (I can play music in my mind, I just wish I had your ability to bring it into the real world.) I'm a big V fan, as you know, but I do not own the Earth album. This makes me wants to buy it someday. Thanks again.

Thanks gary, Earth was given to me by a friend here on YT, no chance of buying a copy in any store unless you live in greece and even then you would be lucky! As for my keyboard ability......3 rules.

1. stay within my limits

2. If i hit a bum note-keep going

3. If i hit too many bum notes ...improvise, or start again:)!!!!!

I'm sitting here with my mouth open. The way you play it, it sounds better than the original! Really! I have tears in my eyes. Thank you my friend! ;-)

Loving your work. You are lucky to have so many synths - I've just been allowed to get ONE synth (an Alesis QS8) - I use a sequencer though, so I can "pretend" to have more synths :P

[Pikachu25sci90vt]

how could anyone possibly dislike this?

[asg2ki]

You have all the respect. Very close to the original version and extremely good improvisation. It's definitely not an easy one to play and I'm sure you go only by your ears with it, unless you managed to find a music sheet which I doubt. Keep up the good work :).

Wow, I can't believe you covered the gem on an otherwise forgettable album. This song is on par with some of V's best. I like your version without the monologue.
