I'll never forget the first time (of many times) that I heard Incantations. OH MY GOD...where was I going. I felt like I was remembering something that I....couldnt possibly have knowledge of. Something ancient. I felt like getting up and doing some sort of tribal dance. I was totally entranced by it. This bit here at 8.04 and onwards....oh god it brings tears to my eyes its so good....
All, apart from the director in the vision gallery who had no idea of the music and instrument changes, where to get the camera on the talented person playing, of that time though I guess, more sophisticated these days. Great to see it though. Oh a thank you to whobearUK too for uploading.
Ommadawn is still Oldfield's Magnum Opus imo, but Incantations is very, very close. The divine touched this man deeply. Thank you Michael, from the very bottom of my being.
Wow, traded in my Barbie dolls to buy this album when living in Hastings! To see this live and properly performed, WOW, I can still type the words to the song, as I did in 1980
Yes, hard to imagine how it can all be conceived. This subject with electric guitar from 8:17 is actually the earlier theme that uses trumpets but played backwards. You can time-reverse the recording to hear each one transform into the other. I did not realize he had done this until a few weeks ago, I never stop to see something new in Incantations on each listen.
Bloody hell! Got to admit, I am a person that usually likes thrash/death metal, with a lapse into some classical and prog rock. But, Mike Oldfield taught me a vital lesson; that not all music needs strepsil sponsored vocals and power chords to sound cool. WhobearUK, I salute you. Cheers for sharing these amazing videos. If I ever cross paths with you one day, I would buy you a pint. Many thanks!
Its certainly one of Mike's most plectrum heavy performances. However, Mike also used a plectrum for the 1981 live versions of the combined Platinum Parts 3 and 4 as well as the epic Art In Heaven encore from Berlin 2000.
Sei Mitico...il mio idolo, proprio da questo brano ho scoperto la tua musica e da allora non vedo l'ora che esca un tuo lavoro.....io al tuo concerto a Udine cero...
Mike Oldfield = Amadeus....que grave error cometio inglaterra en no valorar realmente a este genio unico de la musica universal....prefirieron cosas como Pink Floy y el hardrock para luchar a los Gigantes de la musica electronica...especialmente de Alemania y en aquel tiempo Richard Branson no tenia gran peso en la industria de la musica.

Divine, then & now.
This version is terrific. Actually, from Mike, all is terrific.

I second your comment..👍🏻
Very Very good seen performed in 1980 Knebworth park ..Magical Trip...
This rythm makes me dance without moving.
l'autentica colonna sonora della mia adolescienza. Fantastico Mike
From a different, now far away universe.
I love MO cool reflexive playing //his guitar is part of him self,...Just look, he doesnt rise one eyelid ..such amazing focus
Wonderful-just...wonderful.
Eres grande entre los grandes Oldfield!!!!!!!!!
I never heard before the brass (horns etc') support
starting at 3:15
Great !
Excelente musica
Absolutely
Love
Listening to this was the closest I got to taking drugs. Who needs 'em with this kind of experience?
Is this the longest period of time that Mr Oldfield has ever used a plectrum for? Awesome piece of music this is :D
Its certainly one of Mike's most plectrum heavy performances. However, Mike also used a plectrum for the 1981 live versions of the combined Platinum Parts 3 and 4 as well as the epic Art In Heaven encore from Berlin 2000.
When I have listened this merody,I could see the things which could not be see.
greatjob
i miei sedici anni, magici.
Ayana ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
meraviglioso
song fantastica...
gracias por existir mike
unbelievable.
Unbelievable. Thought Omadawn was the best ever but may have to change my mind...
Szuper!!! :) :) :) Dex Mike!! :)
obra maestra!!!!!!!
Mike Oldfield marcó mi vida, esta parte de Expose es genial...ojala antes de morir venga a Chile y se haga un concierto
Why has this recording never been released in DVD or CD format? maybe this is Exposed isn't it?, it is wonderful
what a fuckin genius- how can someone actually write this - the guitar part at the end make s me so sad
psicadelia allo stato puro....fantastica la linea di basso
ohohoho
is god playing the guitar
Who is that beautiful girl (in 1979) starting on 2`20?
@SrNutritivo
I think Mike didn't make it after Five Miles Out, 1982
:)
:) ciao
a traveling to long long ago far far away
:)....ciao
Sei Mitico...il mio idolo, proprio da questo brano ho scoperto la tua musica e da allora non vedo l'ora che esca un tuo lavoro.....io al tuo concerto a Udine cero...
A wonderful musician, but after Songs of Distant Earth he get lost...
für ein Live-Konzert von Mike Oldfield würde ich um die halbe Welt fliegen. (Ich weiß, es wird nicht dazu kommen.)

Wer hat die Instrumentierung geschrieben? Oldfield? Oder hatte er Hilfe?
He knows, he is a very clever man. Indishquinable.i am wrong. know not how to speak. flounder.
Would that be the 1968 TV special Elvish or the fat jump-suit Elvish?
オカリナで練習した よいメロディです
