christopher Group: Members Posts: 270 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: July 30 2012, 04:06 Thank you for posting a HD link of the video!!!!  Have watched it seven times through... stunningly beautiful!!!!   One thing though, does anyone get the impression that the guitar we are hearing isn't actually Mike!?  There is a very obvious difference in the playing that doesn't even correspond to his playing during the performance.  I'm aware that most likely he is miming... to insure accuracy for such a delicate performance.  There are elements of him in the playing, but it comes off as too clean and lacking his signature.  Thoughts? Regardless, I love it and I can't wait to own it on Blu-Ray!!!! Back to top

Thea Cochrane Group: Musicians Posts: 445 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: July 30 2012, 05:36 As was mentioned in the press for some time before the opening ceremony happened, none of the music was being played live. It was (mostly) being played by the performers we saw, but it was pre-recorded and the performers mimed. I can only imagine this was to ensure sound quality and cut down on the amount of equipment being moved around (not so much for Mike, but can you imagine having all the microphones for a full orchestra having to get on and off quickly?)

Philippe Tavares Group: Members Posts: 1612 Joined: Feb. 2005 Posted: July 30 2012, 05:40 Yes thank you so much for the link to the complete video without comments , this is a very very nice job he done ; his music fits very well with children , very touching moments !! ... someone has posted a link to watch Alasdair video trough his percussions camera but it would be great to have a link to download it . ....

hairy old hippy Group: Members Posts: 304 Joined: July 2005 Posted: July 30 2012, 06:24 Well it's been a weird week hasn't it!! Oldfield fans are coming out of the closet, friends I'd never have guessed listened to Mike are now declaring themselves life long followers. This genuinely could be the start of a real renaissance. Great interview with Johnnie Walker too. Mike sounded so relaxed, he seems to be getting better and better at being interviewed. And the prospect of a rock album in the making, that's got to be exciting hasn't it?! -------------- Listen to Mohribold; an epic musical tapestry that weaves between a multitude of genres. Andrew Taylor's Mohribold album has proved very popular with fans of symphonic-rock, prog-rock, psych-folk and indeed Oldfield's classic albums! www.andrewtaylor.bandcamp.com Back to top

manintherain Group: Members. Posts: 545 Joined: Mar. 2004 Posted: July 30 2012, 07:49 Yes, on German TV. It starts with the sound of Tubular Bells and includes extracts from the videos of Moonlight Shadow and Shadow On The Wall. It even mentions the great success of Mike at the Opening Ceremony.

I saw a ad on Spotify early this morning.No Tube posters so far...can't wait to see one of these around London! Quote (ian @ July 30 2012, 13:09) Listening to the interview Mike sounds very chesty due to all the smoking   Yep,after Tim Cross and David Bedford's passing due to lung cancer (not sure if Bedford was a smoker),seriously...MO should consider to quit smoking for good.But the only person who can make this decision is him. -------------- "But it's always the outsider, the black sheep, that becomes the blockbuster." - Mike Oldfield, 2014 "I remember feeling that I'd been judged unfairly and that I was going to prove them wrong." - Peter Davison, 2011 Back to top

Kremmen Group: Members Posts: 1 Joined: July 2012 Posted: July 30 2012, 09:38 I had not seen any publicity for who was on the show so was absolutely stunned when MO was announced.  Fantastic. Has anyone mentioned FreeRapid Downloader  yet?  It's the only one I know of that can download BBC iPlayer TV shows (as .flv files).  May be UK only, though. Back to top
