Mike Oldfield took the world of music by storm at the age of 19 in 1973 with the release of his debut album "Tubular Bells", which hit the No.1 spot in numerous countries and has gone on to sell in excess of 16 million copies worldwide. A naturally shy man it was not until the end of the decade that he began to play live on a regular basis. In 1981, by now a confident stage performer, he embarked on his European Adventure Tour which took in the Montreux Festival in July, where he performed in front of an enthusiastic sold out audience.

I had a feeling of accomplishment yesterday whilst taking my two kids (13 & 16 y/o) to band practice. My daughter selected tubular bells to listen to for the journey with my sons instant approval. My work as a parent just reached new heights.

@@Pow3llMorgan You must be "old"... that's OK... I'm getting there myself... ;-) For juxtaposition, when Jazz as a music genre was up and coming, it was often likened as "the devil's music." Now... it's often seen as "old people's music." A hilarious contrast with the benefit of time. But yes, every generation thinks the music they grew up on is the zenith of the art form.

Mike Oldfield, the seemly forgotten genious progressive musician, who never appears in all those rankings. But he has every right to be mentioned in one line with Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd and few hands full of other masters of Progressive Rock.

While I was waiting to hear Mike Oldfield perform this at the Macroom Mountain Festival in the late 1970s, I watched some crazy roady climb up into the scaffolding with a beer, and sit there above the Dubliners while he drank it. Then the poor bastard had to climb down and set up all the instruments for Mike O all by himself. I was unhappy that the big star was having this poor grunt do all that set up alone. Of course, the crazy roady turned to be the Man himself! An awesome performance even before a note was played!

That was a great era for music with all these bands playing a mix of written music and improvisation, Yes, Genesis, ELP, King Crimson, Soft Machine. Much more interesting that straight 4/4 rock with three chords. But by the same time, all the Miles Davis sidemen formed their own jazz-rock bands, Return to forever (Corea), Mahavishnu Orchestra (McLaughlin), Weather Report (Shorter/Zawinul), Getaway (DeJohnette), that was really interesting music. In 1980, a young musician started a band, the Pat Metheny Group. Metheny has never stopped to compose since, and wrote a lot of tunes, often suites. Incredible guitarist. Try these bands if you love music.

@@ofdrumsandchords ce que tu appelles "straight 4/4 rock with chords", était une réaction, le punk sera encore plus radical en réaction à l'embourgeoisement de ces vieilles stars du rock/psyché/progressive etc. de 60 début 70, que dire du blues ? tu ne peux pas juger une musique au nombre d'accords ou à la complexité de sa structure, c'est absurde!

@@gillesbourgeois5348 j'ai un point de vue de musicien pro, ce n'est pas du tout ici un argument d'autorité, mais quand tu as énormément étudié la musique, t'as un peu de mal à t'intéresser à des chansons où t'as déjà tout entendu au bout de dix secondes. Tu parles de réaction à l'embourgeoisement, on a eu ça aussi avec le free jazz, qui était plus politique que musical. Pour moi, les artistes sont ceux qui font évoluer le langage en apportant des choses nouvelles. Comme la plupart des musiciens de jazz, j'ai une formation classique, et je suis fan de Bach ou de Stravinsky. Tous les grands musiciens classiques ou jazz ont intégré ce qui existait et l'ont poussé plus loin. Donc, on peut difficilement faire abstraction du langage utilisé quand on parle d'art musical. Le rock, c'est le langage du XVIIe siècle joué avec des grattes électriques.

I found the tubular bells cassette in with my Dads box of stuff in the garage and pretty quickly fell in love with this amazing and unique music. And to think Mike played most of this himself! I was learning guitar at the time and struggled to try and learn it by ear and certainly struggled with my lack of skill at the time. But as my ear and technique grew I loved being able to play more and more of the album. I really enjoy this version live and love Maggie's vocals and parts she plays in this piece. What a gift to watch over and over again!

I can't help but feel Mike Oldfield deserves more recognition. Most poeple that have heard his music know he's a great musician, but I think he desrves much more. We mostly don't see him in rankings on the best music acts and people do not talk about him that much. His soundtrack on The Killing Fields wasn't even nominated for the Oscars and he only has won one Grammy. I think he should have won more and it seems people only know him because of Tubular Bells and ''Moonlight Shadow'' when he has put out amazing records like Hergest Ridge, Ommadawn, Platinum, QE2, Crises, Discovery, Amarok, The Songs of Distant Earth, the Tubular Bells sequels, Man on the Rocks....

Most Australians who grew up in the 1970s/ 1980s are very familiar with his music, but not with him. It was used on the public broadcast TV station is fillers - Incantations IV, Blue Peter and Portsmouth. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/abWYha2Xmbyql4k.html

Yes, you are absolutely right. Mike is brilliant. He wasn't, or wasn't as absorbed by the star world, and that was good for him and good for us. In my opinion, he didn't want that because he knew that he wouldn't be the one deciding his music, but the businessmen and producers. And that's fine. Many of us, many of us, know very well who Mike Oldfield is and it's our job to promote him everywhere. And whoever prefers to listen to all the dum-dum music of zero value, well, that's their problem.

I'm 46 and Tubular Bells helped so much in my teens with depression, isolation, feeling like I didn't fit in, being an outsider etc. Years later I find out that he was feeling the same in his teens and this music saved him. You're gonna love his stuff.
