Taurus 2 is a GENIUS piece! A mix of folk, hard rock, Irish, melodic rock. A faultless, gorgeous piece of music by the Mozart of progressive rock. This brilliant band gives a magnificent tribute to the beauty and utter origninality of Mike Oldfield's splendid music. Respectful, beautiful, exhilarating rendition. Congratulations and thanks to Fadalack!
Been a fan of Mike Oldfield for a large part of my life and this rendition of Taurus 2 is really amazing. Can't even imagine the work put into doing it .....
So schön, So Genial, mit So viel Arbeit und Liebe gemacht! Wer einmal die 25 Minuten seines Lebens für sowas schönes Opfern möchte, empfehle ich: ANSCHAUEN- ANHÖREN ! Dankeschön für die wunderbaren 25 Minuten. Ich bin Stolz auf EUCH ALLE GRACIAS
Ich war 13,als das Album herauskam . Ich war ergriffen ob der vielen Instrumente,deren Spielweise und den Harmonien ,zusamman mit den Tempiwechsel und dem Vocoder,welchen ich überaus liebe. Damals hab ich dieses Album nicht zuletzt wegen Taurus II als mein 2-liebstes Mike Oldfield Album gesehen...und sehe es immer noch so...(1.liebstes Album ist Incantations...der Chor am Anfang...der alleine sorgt für galaktisches Rückenkribbeln...) Damals habe ich an vielen Stellen in Taurus II geweint.....heute - nach 38 Jahren - habe ich wieder geweint....so viel Liebe zum Detail,so viel Begeisterung,ja wirklich...so Genial...so viel Arbeit....Hamma...gerne mehr.... : ))
For a moment i thought Jeff Lynne Pete Townsend and Father Ted had performed a tribute band... This band are absolutely magnificent , Taurus 2 is one of my favourite Oldfield tracks and Fadalack have nailed it... Thank you for this genius video .
Bravo! Wonderful rendition, close my eyes I would swear it's Oldfield. Have many fond memories of this album, a dear lady friend of mine turned me on to Mike Oldfield. Use to listen to these early albums as a courier driver on long runs at night, never failed to keep me awake. Thanks for your genius Mr. Oldfield!
Excelente versión de esta obra de M. Oldfield. Sería extraordinario que pudieran presentarse en mi país, Argentina, donde miles de fans de M..Oldfield nunca tuvimos la oportunidad de asistir en vivo a alguno de sus recitales y hoy ya no se presenta en vivo. Felicitaciones.
Hacía años que no escuchaba Taurus 2, y debo decir que esta interpretación es sublime. Se nota el cariño, el respeto y la admiración desde los que se está interpretando.
Turrebo Yes. This is indeed a masterpiece. I discovered Mike Oldfield in 1981 (Blue Peter, Wonderful Land). The sound of that guitar amazed me, and opened the door wide open into the world of progressive music. I am forever grateful for that revelation I had as a 13 year young kid.
Que maravilla!😊...ver esto interpretado en directo es una pasada y además tan parecida al original....muchas GRACIAS....firmado un gran admirador y fan de Mike Oldfield
fantastico trabajo acabo de escucharlo y solo puedo daros mi mas sincera enhorabuena, es una de las mejores composiciones del maestro Oldifield y de lo primero que escuche de él, asi que me ha emocionado oirlo de nuevo por musicazos como vosotros.
Absolutely brilliant performance.....it's quite strange to find yourself totally immersed in something that your so familiar with and completely forget that it's not even the original artist. I guess it's the best compliment that you can make. And as an Irishman, the uilleann pipe playing was great.
Hush now baby made a start There's a jewel in your heart And a star that shines for you Watching everything you do Don't you cry though it may seem You were born into a dream There's another race to run You were not the only one Standing in the morning sun Waiting though it had begun May you never run aground Or call into the deep deep sound Stormy weather turns to blue Here's a song to take with you
which is true... l love Mike Oldfield but I've been disappointed with his live renditions not being as strong as the album track. Check out the live versions on the Five Miles Out deluxe CD and the limited 5 disc Crises boxset to see what l mean.
Oldfield innovates in his concerts, but they were done for budget reasons to not be loss making so arranged differently to albums. Incantations was done nearly exactly as album but exceeding loss making. Fadalack repeat the albums with brilliant and immensely respectable voluntary work, so I agree they are better overall than many Oldfield’s concerts. He also composed Platinum with live concerts (composed whilst he was making huge losses in then Incantations concerts) in mind which is why it worked well in concert. Fadalack’s arranger has profound musical gifts to determine all the individual notes so accurately of minor background parts and sometimes making tasteful practical instrument substitutions, never cutting corners and often going to expense of using real instruments in place of synths in the original.
fantastic in every respect! An amazingly faithful rendition of a brilliant composition. Whoever did the transcription and arrangement: I salute you! Fadalack you are wonderful!
Great to see all comments from people around the world!! This music is special and unique and just few people take time to taste and listen this master piece from Mike Oldfield, real fans!
Ya no se hace música así...ni siquiera él..aunque ya ha hecho todo lo que tenía que hacer....es un tributo genial...enhorabuena a esos pedraso de músicos
As RUclips showed me this one in my line, I would give it 2 minutes. But now I sit here we a shiver on my arms. Wonderful, great performance. Bagpipe and vocals, with eyes shut I hear Maggie. Unbelievable. How great the effort is, when "normal" people try this, and how perfect they did. Gracias for this moment on sunday morning, and for sharing.
Dios mío! Gracias, gracias, gracias! No tengo más que palabras de admiración para vuestro trabajo. Ojalá pueda veros en directo si volvéis a los escenarios. (Sólo lamento haberos descubierto tarde.) De nuevo, gracias, gracias, gracias!
Wonderful !!!!! I was wondering how they’d do the reverse zither + echo at the end. But they didn’t!! It’d be great to see the image of the multi track image from the record sleeve projected to rear, with vertical time line so audience could track instruments etc. Fabulous
Thank you. thank you, thank you!!! You guys did a wonderful, fantastic, amazing job. Every musician in the band is performing magnificently. You made this man very happy tonight!

You missed out English folk X A pedant.
@@applerabbits Indeed. The English folk influence in this is huge, from the melodies right down to the Morris dancing section.
Been a fan of Mike Oldfield for a large part of my life and this rendition of Taurus 2 is really amazing. Can't even imagine the work put into doing it .....
The best live performance of this track that I've never heard
The best Mike Oldfield cover band in the world! Cannot hear the difference between Mike and Fadalack. Fabulous!
I 100% agree..👍🏼
After all these years, still impressed by your work and performance. Thanks !
Bravi bravi bravi bravi bravi e bravi mi avete commosso alle lacrime ........AMO Mike Oldfield dalla prima ora amo la sua musica tutta
ich war so gerührt, das mir die Tränen liefen .Kenne das Stück von 1973. Vielen Dank für diesen glücklichen Moment
Incredible performance of one of my favorite Mike Oldfield suites. Enjoyed every second of it.
Absolutely superb performance of Taurus 2, loved this will always love his music 😊
Me he puesto sólo en pie en casa para aplaudiros. No hay palabras....

Outstanding. Not from this world. So is the original. Great!
wonderful no word can explain the emotions you give
Es una alegría que haya una orquesta tan profesional que toque las obras de Mike Oldfield.
I wish I lived where this took place. I would be there in a heartbeat singing along
I wish they would come and do some shows near me. ( Shropshire, England)
Amazing guys! Great work, Mike must be proud
Bravo ! wonderful.
Taurus II is magic, and you too !! thanks !

Holy F***k Only 9, 734 views!? Geeez! Absolutely wonderful rendition. Mike himself woulda been proud & honored am sure!
Never had I thought I could appreciate a cover as much as the original piece. These guys are just FLAWLESS
BRILLIANT words cannot express how good this is , I was having a breakdown when mike released this and it helped me stay sane , just !!
The best live performance . Amazing and genius...I have no words
Perfect!
Perfect!
Perfect!!!
All of the performance!
The musicians, the stage, the recording and mixing, everything!
10/10!!!
Wow! Amazing and what a big sound! It's great to see this tribute to a musical genius! The solo guitar player is bloody good too!
wonderful hidden gem tune at 14:43 from the guy with the white solo guitar! bravo! :)
Beautiful rendition of Taurus II. Really cheered me up.
Impressive and beautiful.
Thank you
Best performace of Mike's music ever! PERFECT!

Vaya tributo a Taurus II ... ufff enhorabuena. Qué gozada! 👏👏👏
fantastic live performance of Taurus 2.
Congrats from Germany, Munich :-)
I have been a big fan of Mike Oldfield most of my life and this performance was absolutely fantastic. It was more than spot on.
Was für eine geile Coverversion. Einfach genial....
Great job! It's my favourite work of Mike's!
Absolutely brilliant performance of one of my favourite Mike Oldfield pieces, thank you 😊
Espectacular!!!!
Magnifica pieza y la cantera musical levantina demostrando que sigue en lo más alto.
FOUR DRUMMERS ! Get in !!!
10:15 Gets me every time, on both the original version and this one as well. So powerful. One of Oldfield's best moments.
Totally agree. l feel the same. Sadly not even Mike himself did this part justice on the 2 released live performances l have heard by him.
Turrebo Yes. This is indeed a masterpiece.
I discovered Mike Oldfield in 1981 (Blue Peter, Wonderful Land). The sound of that guitar amazed me, and opened the door wide open into the world of progressive music. I am forever grateful for that revelation I had as a 13 year young kid.
I just love how there's so much tension build up in the vocal part and then it's released with the great orchestra. Wonderful.
Amazing
deserved standig ovation
WHAT A GREAT PROJECT FROM GREAT MUSISIANS PLAYING MIKE OLDFIELD. ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. THANK YOU. 👏👏❤❤🇬🇷🇬🇷
8:10 is an undiscovered gem man. Gives me chills everytime.

Amazing Live Performance!

Hush now baby made a start
There's a jewel in your heart
And a star that shines for you
Watching everything you do
Don't you cry though it may seem
You were born into a dream
There's another race to run
You were not the only one
Standing in the morning sun
Waiting though it had begun
May you never run aground
Or call into the deep deep sound
Stormy weather turns to blue
Here's a song to take with you
Abolutely best live rendition of this track. Mike Oldfield himself could not make it better....
which is true... l love Mike Oldfield but I've been disappointed with his live renditions not being as strong as the album track. Check out the live versions on the Five Miles Out deluxe CD and the limited 5 disc Crises boxset to see what l mean.
starmansk , I agree. Fadalack perform Mike Oldfield's compositions very well.

Simplemente perfecto, enhorabuena a todos los músicos
Brilliant performance. Could almost imagine that's how it was recorded in the first place.
Ahhh, annyira örülök hogy rátaláltam erre! Imádom Mike Oldfieldet, igazán zseniális ahogy előadja a zenekar!!!
16:09 yes absolutely YES... l've always said the lead guitar should be ramped up during this section. Amazing!
fantastic in every respect! An amazingly faithful rendition of a brilliant composition. Whoever did the transcription and arrangement: I salute you! Fadalack you are wonderful!
Wow! Increíble como lo habéis reproducido, como ha dicho alguien más, ni el mismísimo Mike Oldfield la toca mejor en directo. Enhorabuena
Great great job. Perfect. No wrong notes..
Autentica meraviglia. Bravissimi
This IS the Deep Sound, BRAVO!
Great to see all comments from people around the world!! This music is special and unique and just few people take time to taste and listen this master piece from Mike Oldfield, real fans!

Only tears for this wonderful performance of my favorite masterpiece by Mike Oldfield
Esta es una de mis obras favoritas de MO, y el resultado es espectacular. Me encanta.
Dios mío! Gracias, gracias, gracias! No tengo más que palabras de admiración para vuestro trabajo. Ojalá pueda veros en directo si volvéis a los escenarios. (Sólo lamento haberos descubierto tarde.) De nuevo, gracias, gracias, gracias!
Congratulations on this performance. I am a big Mike Oldfield fan and have seen him live many times over the years. This is a superb production.
Two things are missing to be perfect: the final part with the sitar and the telephone number of the singer / vocoder player ❤
Qui us va parir, que bons que sou! Moltes gràcies!
It's interesting seeing people in other countries performing Mike's music like this. I don't think anyone does here in the UK.
Wow! Such a hard piece to cover... enhorabuena a la banda!
Muyyyyyyyyyyy buenoooooooos. Braaaaavoooo
This just has to be the greatest cover version ever made. God bless each and every one of you. Beyond words really.
Took me immensely. Simply masterpiece of music. Thanks so much ♍👍🇵🇱 from Slupsk in PL, EU 🇪🇺
That was outstanding :)
I never thought he would bring this great music to life again, let alone in such a great way. Super experience.
Oldfield es el mas grande. Por siempre
Great! Best Wishes from Germany!
Absolutely incredible achievement. I cannot overstate what brilliance, tenacity, meticulousness, love and musicianship is demonstrated here!
Wonderful !!!!! I was wondering how they’d do the reverse zither + echo at the end. But they didn’t!!
It’d be great to see the image of the multi track image from the record sleeve projected to rear, with vertical time line so audience could track instruments etc.
Fabulous
Thank you. thank you, thank you!!! You guys did a wonderful, fantastic, amazing job. Every musician in the band is performing magnificently. You made this man very happy tonight!
Wonderful!
Fantastic!
