As a 64 year old life long fan of Mike Oldfield I have nothing but absolute admiration for this arrangement in that it dose not add embellishment but stays so true to the original that it almost extinguishable from the original recording - so much respect for their restraint to add their own interpretations
68. First heard in Leicester Sq, I think in 73/4 as accompaniment to the Exorcist. Made my mates stay and listen after the film was over! Have been captivated ever since (I prefer TUB2 but I did watch it live in Edinburgh Castle. One minor critique. He was no Vivian Standish but improved immensely in the second movement(?). Does anyone think Side 2 is better. I do.
Well I'm 67 and agree with the above. Listened to the first Australian radio playing late one Sunday night sometime in 1973. Have loved Mike Oldfields' work ever since and saw him perform at his only Melbourne concert.
Sorry, I don't agree that it's almost extinguishable from the original , they have certainly added their own interpretations, not that I don't like it, I do.
Tak to máme úplně stejně položené, protože mě se do ruky první Tabular Bells dostalo do ruky když mi bylo 12 let a byl jsem a dodnes jsem naprosto okolouzlen, ohromen a nadšen nad tvorbou Mike Oldfielda!
Many, many thanks to UAB for this Performance, the absolutly best composition in the world - ever!!!!!!!!! Thanks Mike, God bless you and all Musicans! Peace NOT war!
Much respect for the musicians. Their stamina for this long piece is impressive and most are playing without sheet music for this complex arrangement as well.
by far the best ever non original Tubular Bells version i heard. i grew up listening to Mike Oldfields and still listen to it. well done and a salut to all the musicians. you can see their passion for Mike Oldfield and music. thank you for sharing this 💕💕👍👍👍
You need to hear Tubular Bells for Two by two Aussie musicians Aidan Roberts and Daniel Holdsworth. Two of them perform the whole thing live and do a better job than all these musos combined.
This is absolut right that, what you say (sorry my English is not so good-Würde Lothar Matteus sagen ich nat ürlich nicht😂❤)! i have never heard such so an Tub Bells1 Song, absolutli increable Musicians❤😂!!!
I wonder what the acoustics sounded like in that workplace? I like many Mike Oldfield fans that have commented on this page, grew up with this Absolutely Superb Masterpiece of Music. And I am still mesmerised at the musical and sound engineering skills Mike Oldfield had when he was 17 and recorded Tubular Bells. Kimbo north west Tasmania Australia.
THIS is a real TRIBUTE! Playing it as it was intended by Michael Oldfield himself. Just like the real perfect thing. Thank you very much! Now I see, there is still hope that manhood will provide new talented musicians doing it "by hand". Thank you! to all the people in Barcelona! Thank you, Michael!!!
50 years ago I was listening to the LP recording of Tubular Bells and enjoying it tremendously and now all these years later I just tremendously enjoyed this performance. The Spanish have such music in their souls... thank you so much for sharing it!
The best version of Tubular Bells I've ever come across since Tubular Bells. Which means it sounded pretty much like the original, virtually no deviations from it. Bravo.
When I was about 16 years old, it was Mike Oldfield's compositions that awakened my love for music, and I was absolutely obsessed with Tubular Bells. I know every version by Mike himself and and quite a few by others as well, and i think this is by far is the best version other than the original. What a fantastic performance! Also a shoutout to the mixing engineer who did a brilliant job as well. Thanks for the goosebumps :)
I agree. This performance beats the original! I like Mike's later albums (especi ally Ommadawn) much more but this version is insanely good on all levels! I really hope young people will get inspired by this and go out find out the works of artists like Oldfield, Genesis, Yes, Camel, Zappa etc.
@@ArtVanAuggie I agree. I lived with the original for months when it came out. Ok, this version maybe note for note, but, put simply, what is lacking is FEEL. You can't replicate that I don't think. Respect to all the players here though, they did what they had to do, but very machine-like.
@@georgenash9086 I'm wondering if it's to "clean" for you due to the nature of digital and modern recording gear vs the original being analog and older gear in general.
I was 7 or 8 years old when I discovered the music of Mike Oldfield. It was like nothing I had previously heard. Almost a soundscape that transported me to somewhere magical and mystical. I was hooked. I braved the rains to be at Edinburgh Castle for TB2 and the luxury of the Royal Albert Hall for TB3 (to which I took my father after a friend I was meant to be taking dropped out at the last minute). I congratulate Mr Mike Oldfield for having composed this masterpiece of modern music. Whilst music survives long past its composers demise, I believe that in the next century this will be looked at the same way as we look at Bach, Beethoven and Tchaikovsky. It will live on. Unlike the 3 minute pop wonders that currently fill the radio waves. I congratulate the musicians who have played this at UAB. It is masterful and as close to the original as I've ever heard. A wonderful tribute to our maestro.
I was 16 then. Lay on my bed, earphones from the stereo. I could lose my difficult self, listening. Inspiring, peaceful, lost to the world, my "own" personal, beneficial drug. Thanks, Mike, and thanks UAB.
We share a similar experience, but it was TB 2 for me, lights off and I was transported to realm of emotional and spiritual magic, chills up my spine, even now it has the a power to lift me
And here I thought I was the only one that did that! I was only 12 but this album floored me. This is a fantastic rendition as well, glad it popped up on my feed. Thank you musicians from UAB, this really took me back.
What a marvellous performance. Well done everybody. Great musicians perform and interpret a great composition. Thank you very much UAB, it was a pleasure to watch and listen to you.
I'm a very BIG FAN OF MIKE OLDFIELD, since a teen( now 66)and I have all his music on LP's,CD's,DVD's ....CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL , WHO PLAYED IN YOUR 50th rendition of TB(1972/3)18Months @number ONE , Absolutely BRILLIANT BRILLIANT, Hats of to you all,job well executed ❤❤❤💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💯💥
What a pleasure to listen and see this video. I am 65 and still listen to Mike Oldfield albums regularly. This interpretation is absolutely stunning and so close to the original master peace. Thank-you so much for your work! God bless you.
NAILED IT!!!!! No mean feat, either! Parts of the work (especially in "part 2") are the sorts of things that gives live players nightmares, too, so knowing this piece, I get what an accomplishment this is. Ensemble was super-tight, too...the only wobbles I picked up on was at the start of the second part, where you've got those interlocked ostinati at a bit slower tempo but the trick there is to communicate how the underlying metric pulse forms. And that got pulled off too, with everyone right on it when the bass finally defines the actual pulse. NOT easy. I've been saying for literally decades that Oldfield's work needs to be taken very seriously. And given how he pushed studio tech to the absolute limit in composing and realizing these long-form compositions from the 1970s, the groundbreaking technical achievements are just as critical on this work as anything by Stockhausen, who I studied with at the beginning of the 2000s. And the fact is, I probably wouldn't have done that had it not been for Mike Oldfield's work, and especially this work in particular, causing me to wonder if I could do this too? Ya done good, y'all!!!
That was most scintillating, musicians at the top of their trade, the talent here is outstanding, and they played every single note perfectly, was just like listening to the album, astounding. 10/10 absolute MASTERPIECE, so epic, and not forgetting the Genuius that Is Mike Oldfield
ojo! y compuesto con sólo 17 años y además tocando los instrumentos. Vaya pedazo de orquesta Opus One ( primer título de esta magna obra, hasta que descubrió las campanas tubulares en el estudio de grabación)
Well done !!! Thank you all for bringing back memories when I bought the album at Waterloo train station 50 years ago . Most of you were not born when released … so again , Thank you , Barrie … Gibraltar .
Escuche el original por primera vez a los 18 años, ahora tengo 51, y me sigue pareciendo una obra maestra. Gracias de todo ❤ a estos musicazos de la UAB por una interpretación sublime que me ha hecho llorar de pura emoción. For Ever, Mike Oldfield!
Absolutamente maravillosa esta versión. Llena de virtuosismo y amor a una pieza que es historia de la música. Gracias. He disfrutado y llorado como un niño escuchandoos.
Beautifully and sensitively done. A brilliant performance of a brilliant work. Well done, congratulations to all musicians and for making it happen. ❤❤❤👏👏👏🙏🙏
Finally, a near perfect live version of this iconic album. Been waiting 50 years for this. Thank you Mike Oldfield and all the incredible musicians who nailed this performance. Not a fan of the venue though. It would have been better in front of a live crowd.
Extremely well done tribute of one of the most amazing pieces of music ever written. Hopefully Mike gets a chance to see this. I also like that they stayed pretty honest to the original. I am not a fan of some of the performances that has every instrument ever created being used to add some new twist to an already perfect song. I do have a wee nit pick though. It has to do with the opening bass. Bass is obviously very important since they are using three bass players. For some reason that opening bass line sounds wrong. I don't know if the tuning is slightly altered our the strings are a different gauge or what but it doesn't sound right. Also this bass player is obviously better than Mike was when he did the original but he sounds to good and to smooth. In the original Mike played all of the instruments, some he learned for the song itself. I know this is absurd but after listening to this music for 50 years you really learn it and how it sounds. So all in all this group does an amazing job and thanks so much for sharing this with us.
I remember many moons ago being awoken by the most astonishing music while having fallen asleep while listening to my radio in bed. I did not catch the name of the music or the artist until a few nights later. I am not 100 percent sure but i think it was played on the pirate radio station "MIAMIGO". It has been one of my favourite pieces of pure genius ever since. It was, of course, TUBULAR BELLS. It was the first album I ever purchased. I was 15 years old at the time and I am so delighted to be listening to it now aged 66. Where has all the time gone. Bravo to the orchestra for such a brilliant performance and the only thing missing is a rapturous applause at the end.......👋👋👋👋👋
Oh mein Gott, ich bekomme Gänsehaut....ist diese Musikkomposition wirklich schon vor über 50 Jahre entstanden...ich bekomme Tränen der Rührung in meinen Augen...vielen Dank für das Teilen dieses unnachahmlichen Ereignisses❤️❤️❤️Liebe herzliche Grüße aus Deutschland 🇩🇪
Awesome. Mike Oldfield's music has been a very important cornerstone in my life, I love his music to bits. Would have been a different person without it. This briliant and loving performance makes me realize even more how briliant his music is. Hard to believe that this was his debut album recorded in a makeshift studio with instruments he found on the premises. Grazy. Thanks Mike, and thanks Xavier and friends. And thanks Hans for introducing me to this music.
Quina meravella nois!! M'han saltat les llàgrimes i tot. Quantes vegades no l'havia sentida en el meu walkman... però veure tocar aquesta obra genial així en viu encara et fa valorar-la més. Moltes gràcies per la vostra fidelitat!
Sitting here in tears of joy. I first heard TB 3 days after its release in Canada. I’ve been listening to it for fifty years. This music will still be played in hundreds of years.
Interpretacion muy bien ejecutada y fiel al original. Un homenaje hecho con sinceridad y sin esperar ningún beneficio económico. Así es como debe ser. 😊
llevo unos 40 años tocando ,temas de bandas...,pero este es tan diferente,complicado y a la vez sencillo,que en ello estoy todavia,,minuto 17,,ese juego de cuerdas,,arriba abajo...etc eres musico asi que creo que entiendes lo que quiero decir ¿ o no ?bye bye
Tuve el honor de conocer personalmente a Michael Gordon Oldfield que así es como se llama en Barcelona y posteriormente en un " inmenso " concierto en Londres...INDESCRIPTIBLE....SIMPLEMENTE UN GENIO...
It's only when you see the album being performed live that you truly appreciate what an astonishing achievement the original production is... I'd like to think that Mike would approve of this! 🙂👍
Una maravilla de interpretación, he disfrutado mucho escuchándolo, un gran homenaje a este disco que llevamos años atesoréndolo, felicidades a todo los músicos, el sonido es espectacular, en estéreo. Lo volveré a escuchar.
I haven't listened to _Tubular Bells_ for years but I used to know it so well it is permanently engraved in my memory. Listening to this brought back many happy memories, and everything fitted perfectly into place. A wonderful performance and tribute to a great album: thank you so much!
Listening to this, and hearing and seeing everything that is necessary to play this music, brings home yet again what a genius composer and musician Mike Oldfield was. He's been my favorite since the very start, when Tubular Bells came out as an experiment by Branson's Virgin.
I saw Mike Oldfield in concert for Tubular Bells on the day of my 21st birthday back in 1982 in Auckland New Zealand. I was with my girlfriend and my brother. Sadly my brother passed away a few years later of cancer. This music always reminds me of the best year of my life.
It was his only time in Quebec city in 1982 and also, in north america. I have found memories of that extraordinary great musical evening at Palais Montcalm.
Absolutamente maravilloso, de las mejores versiones que he podido disfrutar en el medio siglo de esta absoluta obra maestra. Un millón de gracias por este regalazo 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Many are the nights I've fallen asleep (or possibly passed out) wrapped in my sleeping bag, staring at the spiralling stars of the Milkyway overhead while listening to the music of Tubular Bells. It all comes back to me in a rush.
This is just wonderful! brilliantly played by incredible musicians. I bought Tubular Bells when it was released in 1973 and this is just spot on! made me shed more than a few tears
I can't begin to describe how much I enjoyed this - it is a true love letter to the original! I love the passion, freshness and accuracy that breathes new life into this extraordinary piece of music!
Tubular Bells fue el primer disco que compré. Tenía tan solo 10 años. Conozco cada nota. Después vino Ommadawn, Incantations... Aún no puedo creer que en aquellos tiempos analógicos el gran Mike Oldfield pudiera componer y ejecutar al completo cada instrumento. Sin duda, la mejor y más fiel versión que he escuchado. La dinámica es magnífica. Felicitaciones. Habéis respetado la partirura al milímetro. Estoy disfrutando como aquel niño con su portada entre las manos mirando aquel tubo retorcido e imaginando mundos imposibles...
I have been listening to this album since I was a kid in the 70s, and this is fantastic. So well done. Bravo, ladies and gentlemen! I totally agree, this location really set the mood for the music.
We now have to wait for almost an hour to get to the BEST part . . . but it's worth it ( I love the ending, and by the smiles on the performers faces - so do they )
So brutal! Interpretació magnífica! Un gran homenatge a una música excepcional! Potser la realització podria haver mostrat una mica més l’instrument que és protagonista en cada moment, però un autentic plaer haver-ho vist i escoltat.
Yes, as someone who has experience as a camera operator I was a bit disappointed that too often the musician who is playing at the time is not being shown a decent view of them.
With strict adherence to the original fidelity of the original recording from so many years ago, UAB has done an amazing job in recreating this masterpiece. Highly recommended.
Thank you for sharing this timeless classic music. What an honor to hear this masterpiece "Tubular Bells" in its entirety by such gifted musicians. Simply the best.
Nope, this arrangement is so far from the accepted and original piece it's hard to recognise it has any familiarity at all! Some well known pieces of music do not lend themselves to radical reinterpretation, this being a good example. No reflection on these wonderful musicians themselves, of course, but some things are better left as they were originally written.
Me he quedado hipnotizado una hora viendo esto, es pura perfección. En mi canal tengo mi versión de TB parte 1 (no tiene nada que ver con esto porque aprendí música por mi cuenta y solo soy una persona). Me encantaría escucharos tocar más discos de Mike Oldfield.

Tubular Bells changed my life in many ways that I can't describe. This concert brought back a myriad of dreams, all good. Thank you Mike. x
Tubular bells was bells was the first record I bought,now in my late sixties just hearing the first note's played,brings back memories of my youth.
Magistral !!! Gràcies UAB !!! Gran homenatge al MESTRE MIKE OLDFIELD !!!
As a 64 year old life long fan of Mike Oldfield I have nothing but absolute admiration for this arrangement in that it dose not add embellishment but stays so true to the original that it almost extinguishable from the original recording - so much respect for their restraint to add their own interpretations
I'm also 64 and fully agree to your comment. This interpretation is very close to original one.
68. First heard in Leicester Sq, I think in 73/4 as accompaniment to the Exorcist. Made my mates stay and listen after the film was over! Have been captivated ever since (I prefer TUB2 but I did watch it live in Edinburgh Castle. One minor critique. He was no Vivian Standish but improved immensely in the second movement(?).
Does anyone think Side 2 is better. I do.
Well I'm 67 and agree with the above. Listened to the first Australian radio playing late one Sunday night sometime in 1973. Have loved Mike Oldfields' work ever since and saw him perform at his only Melbourne concert.
Sorry, I don't agree that it's almost extinguishable from the original , they have certainly added their own interpretations, not that I don't like it, I do.
I'm 64 too, and this was my first album I ever bought, this is an amazing rendition
Tubular bells was the first album that I bought aged 13. That brought back so many memories. Thank you all. !!
My first album was also when I was 13 (I think). It was In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida!

Much respect for the musicians. Their stamina for this long piece is impressive and most are playing without sheet music for this complex arrangement as well.
Musicians being musicians, no audience, no distractions, the transitions are flawless. "This is what we do". Thank you.
If the universe has an orchestra of praise I’m pretty sure i will be playing the triangle 🥳
Not a concert then more like a full dress rehearsal
An absolutely beautiful re-birth of a musical masterpiece. Huge credit to all involved.I wish I was there live to embrace it ♥️

50+ years! Im 57, and loved him since I was 10, Thanks to my 3 older Brothers #Heart&Love from Norway.
Tuve el honor de conocer personalmente a Michael Gordon Oldfield que así es como se llama en Barcelona y posteriormente en un " inmenso " concierto en Londres...INDESCRIPTIBLE....SIMPLEMENTE UN GENIO...
It's only when you see the album being performed live that you truly appreciate what an astonishing achievement the original production is... I'd like to think that Mike would approve of this! 🙂👍
Una maravilla de interpretación, he disfrutado mucho escuchándolo, un gran homenaje a este disco que llevamos años atesoréndolo, felicidades a todo los músicos, el sonido es espectacular, en estéreo. Lo volveré a escuchar.
I haven't listened to _Tubular Bells_ for years but I used to know it so well it is permanently engraved in my memory. Listening to this brought back many happy memories, and everything fitted perfectly into place. A wonderful performance and tribute to a great album: thank you so much!
Obra maestra, lo habéis bordado 💯🎼🎶🎸🥏
Absolutely wonderful, perfect, brilliant 💯
Gracias a estos músicos. He disfrutado mucho con la interpretación del Tubular realizada por todos ellos. Felicidades y gracias a la UAB.😀😀😀
Listening to this, and hearing and seeing everything that is necessary to play this music, brings home yet again what a genius composer and musician Mike Oldfield was. He's been my favorite since the very start, when Tubular Bells came out as an experiment by Branson's Virgin.
😊Uffffffff quin bon vespre m esteu donant❤
I saw Mike Oldfield in concert for Tubular Bells on the day of my 21st birthday back in 1982 in Auckland New Zealand. I was with my girlfriend and my brother. Sadly my brother passed away a few years later of cancer. This music always reminds me of the best year of my life.
It was his only time in Quebec city in 1982 and also, in north america. I have found memories of that extraordinary great musical evening at Palais Montcalm.
Simplemente BRUTAL , feliz de escucharlo no, lo siguiente
First record I boughts. Wow. 50 years!
Absolutamente maravilloso, de las mejores versiones que he podido disfrutar en el medio siglo de esta absoluta obra maestra. Un millón de gracias por este regalazo 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Many are the nights I've fallen asleep (or possibly passed out) wrapped in my sleeping bag, staring at the spiralling stars of the Milkyway overhead while listening to the music of Tubular Bells. It all comes back to me in a rush.
Molt interessant el tema amb la instrumentació i l,entorn li dona un caire futurista i atractiu!
Magistral! Enhorabona!
All thats missing was a huge round of applause and a cheering audience at the end, excellent.
Increíble la fidelidad con la grabación original. Hay mucho trabajo y talento en esta interpretación, enhorabuena!
This is just wonderful! brilliantly played by incredible musicians. I bought Tubular Bells when it was released in 1973 and this is just spot on! made me shed more than a few tears
!!pues empece a tocar ,hace 40 años ,y este tema es el mas complicado y a la vez sencillo , que estoy practicando,,todavia
Enhorabuena! Grandísimo trabajo. El maestro estará orgulloso❤
I can't begin to describe how much I enjoyed this - it is a true love letter to the original! I love the passion, freshness and accuracy that breathes new life into this extraordinary piece of music!
¡Joya! Gracias por la interpretación de esta obra maestra el día de su 50 aniversario
Słucham tego dzieła już 50 lat w różnych wykonaniach.Wasze wykonanie jest piękne, brawo !
👏👏👏💐💐💐
Fabuloso. Un pracer escoitarvos interpretar esta fantástica música. Parabéns a todo o grupo.
Tubular Bells fue el primer disco que compré. Tenía tan solo 10 años. Conozco cada nota. Después vino Ommadawn, Incantations... Aún no puedo creer que en aquellos tiempos analógicos el gran Mike Oldfield pudiera componer y ejecutar al completo cada instrumento. Sin duda, la mejor y más fiel versión que he escuchado. La dinámica es magnífica. Felicitaciones. Habéis respetado la partirura al milímetro. Estoy disfrutando como aquel niño con su portada entre las manos mirando aquel tubo retorcido e imaginando mundos imposibles...
Incredible! Such a precision, such a feeling. I'm blown away.
I have been listening to this album since I was a kid in the 70s, and this is fantastic. So well done. Bravo, ladies and gentlemen! I totally agree, this location really set the mood for the music.
Magnificent musicians. A perfect rendition. I have never enjoyed the composition more. Thank you!
Thoroughly enjoyed that performance
Gracias..Gratzia..Thank You
Faithful recreation. Brilliant
We now have to wait for almost an hour to get to the BEST part . . . but it's worth it ( I love the ending, and by the smiles on the performers faces - so do they )
So brutal! Interpretació magnífica! Un gran homenatge a una música excepcional! Potser la realització podria haver mostrat una mica més l’instrument que és protagonista en cada moment, però un autentic plaer haver-ho vist i escoltat.
Yes, as someone who has experience as a camera operator I was a bit disappointed that too often the musician who is playing at the time is not being shown a decent view of them.
With strict adherence to the original fidelity of the original recording from so many years ago, UAB has done an amazing job in recreating this masterpiece. Highly recommended.
Brilliant! A good Master of Ceremonies got the spirit of Viv Stanshall just right. Much as gracias
I grew up listening to music like that. I will always come back to hear "Tubular Bells".
Wow!
Absolutely fabulous 🥰🥰🥰 Mike Odfield a été touché par la grâce de Dieu en composant cet oeuvre
Felicitats Opus One! Excel·lent concert!
Thank you for sharing this timeless classic music. What an honor to hear this masterpiece "Tubular Bells" in its entirety by such gifted musicians. Simply the best.
👌Excel·lent interpretació d'un clàssic contemporani, en un entorn singular. Felicitats!
Gràcies a tots/es els/les participants i organitzadors. Visca la Música!
Nope, this arrangement is so far from the accepted and original piece it's hard to recognise it has any familiarity at all!
Some well known pieces of music do not lend themselves to radical reinterpretation, this being a good example.
No reflection on these wonderful musicians themselves, of course, but some things are better left as they were originally written.
only just picked this up! Brilliant! Wonderful! Been a big fan since the start got all his music! This makes me so happy!
Me he quedado hipnotizado una hora viendo esto, es pura perfección. En mi canal tengo mi versión de TB parte 1 (no tiene nada que ver con esto porque aprendí música por mi cuenta y solo soy una persona). Me encantaría escucharos tocar más discos de Mike Oldfield.
Perfection from the musicians. And WHAT a concert space! Thank you!!
❤❤❤❤espectacular!!!
What a beautiful rendition! I have heard many musicians over the years trying to play 'Tubular Bells' - You just nailed it!! Wonderful!
