The funny thing is I lived in a small village with my parents and older brother. The first time I was allowed to go and play with other kids in the city (2 miles from our village) was when I was 13 years old! The thing I used to convince my mother to let me go was the CD of Mike Oldfield with this song! My friend was about to give it to me on the city's playground where they were playing football. My mom said yes, and after that, everything changed! I started to go there almost every day (during the summer); I soon made new friends (they all lived in the city) and 7-8 of us became best friends! Our gatherings at the city's fountain, playing catch, football, and basketball, and going out for pizza - I still remember those days. The best days of my life! Everything started with one CD! With this amazing song!
There are some, like us, who like it and others that appreciate its mere profitability--like talentless, second-rate Nazi-style freaks procuring our goods and scuzzily and illegally using each as their own. Thankfully, we do as God allows, NOT as smelly government-doped trash likes, wants, says, or does. TM
Veramente !!!! , e con Pepsi💞 è eccezionale .... non smetteresti mai di ascoltarla, soprattutto di notte.....nel silenzio è ancora più emozionante !!!!
Musicians: Adrian Thomas (Keyboards) Pepsi Damacque (vocals) Claire Nicholson (keyboards and guitars) Carrie Melbourne (bass) Fergus Garrand (drums and percussion).
I have to say, this is so far, my favorite female vocalist attempting Moonlight Shadow" after Maggie Reilly's. She didn't feel she had to do anything strange with it. The song is already beautiful and rich enough to try to adorn it unnecessairly. I really like this sober version, more faithful to the original.
That guitar tone is just exquisite, and Mike is so gifted player, he really makes that guitar sing. And he seems to be playing entirely with his fingers, no pick. Plus, I got a bit carried away by Pepsi
I find I get far better tone using nails than an pick on electric too but am used to it as play classical too. It’s a bit harder on steel acoustic unless your nails are super tough but string tension ot too bad on a lekky.
This is when music makes me fell tears. So incredibly beautiful with Pepsi´s voice and the world´s greatest musician ever just letting the notes flow from his guitar. There is a God.
One of the most beautiful songs ever, I grew up with it! Beautiful version with amazing solos especially the one beginning at 3:37 which is not present in the standard version with Maggie Reilly. Maggie's voice was stunning-perfect and warm but this is a wonderful interpretation as well, different but really really nice! Great emotions!!!
Mike has a special way of giving the audience some of the best music a guitar can produce..... without putting him self to much in center of everything
@@syndoza I think she's called Pepsi. She used to be part of a girl duet called Pepsi and Shirley back in the late 80s. They had a few records at the time, I think I remember their Goodbye Stranger song being their biggest hit 👍
That guitar solo is the finest I've seen in a long time! Also Pepsi (from Pepsi & Shirley - Wham backup singers) has a wonderful voice! Thank you for posting.
Whilst enjoying Mike's solos immensely, most world renowned electric guitarists rate the virtually unknown and recently deceased Englishman, Allan Holdsworth, to be easily the best electric guitarist.
I was in my teens, when this song/ music was produced. At age 69, I still enjoy it tremendously. Those were the days of good music. I had the album/LP Record of Jethro Tull called Aqaulung. Sitting on a park bench, snot is running down his nose---.
i can listen to this version a zillion times and still enjoy the voice of Pepsi and the backing musicians and backing vocals and well Mike on guitar is mind blowing.
Pepsi does a wonderful job singing. And I like her natural moves too. She's lovely. And the blond girl doing the exquisite background vocals is also a treat!
Esta cancion deberia estar entre las mejores d la historia. Desde luego fue la mejor cancion de los años 80. Es una gran obra de arte. Y los "criticos musicales" no se acuerdan de ella. Siempre nos venden las mismas canciones de esa epoca. 🌺
I haven't seen all performances of this track, but this video would be hard to beat. It had me watching over and over. It is not just the soloist's fantastic rendition, but the headset mike allows her to be very expressive which she exploits fully, and the cutting is rather effective in adding to the dynamism of the performance.
I remember 1983 this song was my fav. this version the vocalist is much better than the original ps greetings from the Dutch! I love all of you! gOD BLESS!
The harmonizing vocals are like an elegant dance in themselves which makes this the best rendition (following the original version) of Moonlight Shadow.
Mike as such is one of the finest guitarists and songwriters there is but he really knows where to find exceptional talent to back him up. Pepsi is an amazing singer with such stage presence but I am also very impressed with the keyboard player who also plays rhythm guitar and performs backing vocals. That's some incredible multitasking live on her part.
Just perfection! A great song performed by brilliant musicians and a beautiful unassuming singer with a really really pleasant voice that was made for this song. I listen to this almost every day.
do you know what,its nice to see Mike still willing to put the effort into doing this song again with a little edge to make it different,and with this band can still produce the sound,its all great stuff.
Agree. Wish they had performed together for a lot longer. I read Helen retired from singing prematurely - such is the fickle nature of the music industry.
40 years old song. Absolute classic.
Breast cover of this song?
gibt es von diesem Song eine schlechte Version ?

The guitar solo at the end is bloody great. Anyone who doesn't like that is not human.!!

Musicians are goo too as well blonde chorus 's singer at keyboards
Im not human but i like this
I always thought this such a good song. Love the guitar
On my top 100 list of all time solos. A list that is heavily dominated by Metal and hard rock acts.
My favourite Mike Oldfield song.😊Play it over and over again, the wonderful singer's name should be given too. Cheers.
Just can't stop listening to this version with Mike and Pepsi, the voice of an angel and the best guitar player ever .... brilliant, stunning.
Veramente !!!! , e con Pepsi💞 è eccezionale .... non smetteresti mai di ascoltarla, soprattutto di notte.....nel silenzio è ancora più emozionante !!!!
Helen was brilliant but Maggies vocals were another level! Nobody can match the original
Brilliant. One of Mike Oldfields songs, enhanced by the wonderful Pepsi, what a voice.
Musicians: Adrian Thomas (Keyboards) Pepsi Damacque (vocals) Claire
Nicholson (keyboards and guitars) Carrie Melbourne (bass) Fergus Garrand
(drums and percussion).
I see he's ditched the Strat for a PRS, not knocking PRS just an observation.
Thanks
What a fantastic guitarist Mike Oldfield is😊😊😊
Extraordinaire
Oh yes indeed
The flow of notes during his solos is pure magic. It could last 15 min and you dont get bored. This is a very rare skill.
This performance is so good I watched it 10 times in a loop. Brilliant.
Yes it is
Me too....
@@guyburrell6164 me too...
great intro, not. A dog can play better
Me too brother 🙌🏻
Gorgeous woman - beautiful voice. And a big shout out to the woman singing harmony , on acoustic guitar & apparently keyboards as well !
One of the best songs, compositions of all times. Thank you dear Mike.
Mike is a guitar wizard ! Amazing performance !
A timeless masterpiece ❤ its Maggies song but this version is really excellent, everything falls into place, its from another universe, divine 🙏❤️❤️
Agreed 😊 The performance and video with Maggie is unique, but this lady is wonderful aswell ❤ Sir Oldfield, superb as always. That guitar...😊😊😊

Quie es la cantante?

Leave it out,she butchered it.

Esta versión de "Moon light shadow"con la gran cantante Pepsi Demacque, es por lejos la mejor. Fantástica!!!!
That guitar tone is just exquisite, and Mike is so gifted player, he really makes that guitar sing. And he seems to be playing entirely with his fingers, no pick. Plus, I got a bit carried away by Pepsi
I find I get far better tone using nails than an pick on electric too but am used to it as play classical too. It’s a bit harder on steel acoustic unless your nails are super tough but string tension ot too bad on a lekky.
Beautiful version of this song. Mike Oldfield is king ...
Mike is a brilliant guitarist.His style is incredible natural and fluid
He can play well
I Like❤
She is filling big shoes, she fitted them ....one of my all time favourite songs...applause 🎉🎉🎉🎉
E..sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss .nn55
Remember the 80's pop band Wham and their backing singers Pepsi and Shirley,, this is Pepsi DeMacque a very good singer indeed.
I didn’t notice her shoes 🥹
Matter of fact, she more than justified the orig version. Her rendition has more emotional depth and her voice is superior to Reilly's.
@@viclaron2937 she good enough for mike...
I reaaly love this version with Pepsi singing and the guitar solo by Mike !
Me too and you are quite right
Pepsi Demacque really rocks this song
This is when music makes me fell tears. So incredibly beautiful with Pepsi´s voice and the world´s greatest musician ever just letting the notes flow from his guitar. There is a God.
One of the most beautiful songs ever made
Amazing performance! Both Oldfield and Pepsi rocked the crap out of that song! Cant get enough.
Leider mit Maggi nicht vergleichbar . Provormez , Stimme etc. LG Gabriela
I Like,hermoso ❤
Great yes but maggie was just the best combination
Absolutely pretty and softly voice.
Thank you so much from Brazil.
Greetings back to you from the Marshall Islands ❤ 🇲🇭

Can't stop seeing this video! Great music and singer! Pepsi, Helen DeMacque, has a wonderful voice!
Grew up with this beautiful tune in the 80s gonna have played on my send off track timeless classic❤
Love this song ❤❤❤
Mike Oldfield & Helen Pepsi Demacque. Totally unreal!!!!!
what a beautiful voice .
She's the star here! Listened to this song for the last 20 years. the vocals were what made this!!!
Mike has a special way of giving the audience some of the best music a guitar can produce..... without putting him self to much in center of everything
she has a wonderful voice
She does :)
..már megírtam..nem vonom vissza..
They both do! Love the harmony.
What shes name?

This solo, the voice and personality of Pepsi…
Amazing👏👏👏🥰
SINGER IS AMAZINGGG
HELL YEAH!!! There's no way to sing better than this... Luv u Helen 💖
Pepsi also Shirley married to Martin Kemp of spandeau ballet were also in many George Michael video's close friends of the late artist 🇬🇧

@@brewbeer5569Holdsworth is a true genius. ❤🎸🎼🎶🎵
3:36 - 5:13 words cant describe how i love that part
The guitar is talking... Unbelieve
that part is even better in the live concert version (that one's video quality is bad though)
Красивая песня,приятный
голос,многогранные эмоции,
очень приятно слушать,слушаю
много раз и не надоедает!Одна
из любимых моих песен навсегда.
Magnificent song and guitar work.
She is brilliant
Voice is a bit flat, but ok.

So many talented singers out there , don't get enough recognition .
Wow, she's got a great voice.
and great (.Y.)
Just came across this version. The singer was wow.
Mike Oldfield, um artista de renome a nível mundial. É na verdade preciso ser-se muitíssimo bom. Ainda bem que temos artista desta enorme qualidade.
The best performance of this Song! How beautiful she is! And how much heart in the voice of this Singer!
I was in my teens, when this song/ music was produced. At age 69, I still enjoy it tremendously. Those were the days of good music. I had the album/LP Record of Jethro Tull called Aqaulung. Sitting on a park bench, snot is running down his nose---.
perfect song I love the voice , the bend and the iconic guitar solo!
"The bend"? 🤔
Thanks!
Mike is a genius .

It is not just the soloist's fantastic rendition, but the headset mike allows her to be very expressive which she exploits fully, and the cutting is rather effective in adding to the dynamism of the performance.
Everyones is talking about the singer, but this is the only live version I've heard where both guitar solos are so fucking great.
Concur.....i also love Hank Marvin's elegant instrumental of this.
Do what?
Guitar solos, YES!
Mike Oldfield & Ronnie Montrose untouchable.
Where's Maggie Rilley?
mARVIN CAN FUCK RIGHT OFF
Love this version of the Song ! And today, 30.11.2020 is full moon !
Definitely the best version yet
increíble ese sólo de guitarra. ... amo este tema!!!!
I remember 1983 this song was my fav. this version the vocalist is much better than the original ps greetings from the Dutch! I love all of you! gOD BLESS!
What a voice!
What a great voice and the lady is obviously enjoying herself. And what great song, thanks Mike for this gem.
Brilliant contribution from absolutely everyone. Love the bass players touch.
Mike is such a fantastic guitar player
Merci beaucoup pour le partage. Cette chanson m'apporte beaucoup de bons souvenirs.
Awesome performance from all band members!
La meilleure version avec la deuxième voix charmante la guitariste au fond j’ai jamais vu Michael se lâcher comme ça Pepsi est vraiment à l aise.
amazing! great guitar solo!!!! thnks Mike for 40 years of music
Love this song.❤❤❤❤❤.
*Браво!!! Вечная мелодия даже в 2024 году!!!🎵🎶😊*
Guitar brought tears to my eyes! That reminded me of my day 🤦♂️❤️
The harmonizing vocals are like an elegant dance in themselves which makes this the best rendition (following the original version) of Moonlight Shadow.
One of the best songs of all time!!!! Majestic!!!!!
yes its is something so very special...beautiful music and a combination of such tallent
Every time I watch this it just gets better and better. What guitar playing, absolutely brilliant.
her voice has matured beautifully and makes this a fantastic track
A true gem of a performance.

Q voz mais linda!!!!
Just perfection! A great song performed by brilliant musicians and a beautiful unassuming singer with a really really pleasant voice that was made for this song. I listen to this almost every day.
I saw them live years ago, wonderful!!!
Tam jest diament nie oszlifowany z pięknym głosem wokalem.. Pani co gra na klawiszach i gitarze 🤔🤔🤔 przepiękna barwa głosu

What a great composer and musician!!! Dreams of young time!
I’ve been looking this song in my entire life. Found it !
Yes. This is music . Mike and Pepsi are fantástic together
