Pleased to have highest rated comments on this video :) i was known as gibsonj200 back then
I recently bought the Classic rock magazine. It had attached the Montreux Jazz festival sampler. First time I heard this music. Blew me away. Fantastic Guitar playing by the wonderful and talented Mike Oldfield.
Amazing to see & hear Mike's solos, especially at the end, when he goes into that really fast and unmistakable part.. And he does all that with his fingers, not with a pick... Just amazing!
I think this is one of the best live performances Mike has given that I've seen or been present at - its such a great arrangement of Platinum and Platinum is perfect for live performance and was written at a time when he genuinely wanted to play live, which may make it one of a fairly narrow set! Apart from missing his intro, he's also absolutely brilliant here, and its a very varied and demanding guitar part.
I can't stand hearing this part without clapping my hands here and there all around my desktop objects and now they're all scattered around the floor just because of you, Mike! You're guilty! =D
Maybe its the genius composing and arrangements,the professional playing,with mind ,heart, and soul The lack of shown ego on stage"I am hipper than the world and you too" .
yevo escuxando mike oldfield toda mi vida y tengo 19 años. he ido a mutitud de concietos (el mejor en salamanca en 1998 creo recordar) pero de los mejores segun mis padres fue este. me encanta este disco, lo escuxo siempre k puedo un saludo a todos los fans de este gran musico y todos sus acompañantes, y esperems k siga componiendo
@birth46day ... I don't know where you are from or what age you have, but I am 45 and I remember to think exactly the same, lol. It's almost strange when I watch these clips and see that so many enjoy them also. Cheers!
