Mike Oldfield and friends ( Steve Hillage, Pierre Moerlen, Mick Taylor... ) play Tubular Bells live ( part 2 of 3 ). THE best Mike Oldfield video ever !!!
I have to share the experience of hearing TB (full length) for the first time. I was out hiking along the Bruce trail in Canada. We arrived at the trail head in Winfield Basin at around 10pm, we had no tent and just rolled out our sleeping bags beside the car. We were not alone and someone played TB. Just laying there, looking at the stars and listening to Mike Oldfield. It burns it's way into your memory and replays the experience every time I hear the song. Glad it didn't rain. :-)
When i was 14 in 1974 my Music Teacher Played Tubular Bells in a lesson at Moorland Lower School Darwen Lancs and at that Point in My Life i was Turned on to Music.When i Got home i asked my Mum if she would Order the LP through Kays Catalogue and that was My First Ever LP and i Haven,t Looked back since.This Brings back so Many Memories of those days ,i,m 47 this year and i Love music more than ever.Thanks for Uploading this clip and i,ll look forward to Part 3.
i love the setup....all the guitarists sitting in the center in a circle...and all the percussion and keyboards surrounding them on the outside. so badass
I remember when this came out as the theme to the"Excorcist". Then I bought the album(vinyl)and wore out 2 copies of it I loved it so much, and I still do. I'm really showing m age and I don't care.l
Oh my, how I do love this! Mike Oldfield was always a kind of role model on my own music sensations. So many colours, so many different feelings... and mostly always exactly the one type of sound - widely, rocky, poppy... and selfmade - that my musicheart is fully satisfied.... Cool... very thanks for uploading this file!
Do you know, I saw the Exorcist when it came out but for the life of me I can't recall the sound track.. It's not a film I would want to see again. I don't really care, I F*****g love this album and don't give a s**t about others opinions as that wont influence me at all. If you don't like it then go listen to something else that you do.
i fully recomend smokin a lil bubble hash and listening,,,,i listened to it before smokin,,and was about 78,433 times better post smokin,,any decent weed can be used .. doesnt mean anythin really,,cheerybye!
@Caligula138 yes you have to look but you have to understand that this was popular back thenand some people now a days dont have the time to look for music
@grayaj23 I actually am the exact opposite. I appreciate the A side but really connect alot more with the B side. The whole acoustic intro is like rolling misty mornings in a pastoral English countryside in my mind. And piltdown man has some serious epic melodies on guitar and piano. Bagpipe guitars?!? You dont know what your missin man.
@troebuck : hi, the source is a horrible VHS/DVD containing 1 hour of Mike's best known "tubes" like " moonlight shadow". Amidst all this crap was this incredible version. Only thing worth in the video.
OK, be honest, how many ever listened to the "B" side of this album? I wore the A side out but probably only ever listened to B maybe five times total.
i have to stop because even though i don't usually advocate note-for-note-just-like-the-studio-version playing, in this case i do. i think this sounds poor, they aren't very tight either, some parts sound really good, like the bass playing but some parts sound feeble or just plain dated
