I view this video as more than incredible. It's Out of this world Greatness. Pure Genius is this man Peter Gabriel. What an "ENTWINED ADRENALIN RUSH AT THE MOST HIGHEST LEVEL IN THE UNIVERSE"!!!!!!!!!!

[millsy2010]

An early-ish version, but truly magnificent. Gabriel's music has the power to move mountains and this is a truly spell-binding performance and song.

[gil9572]

A true rock icon!! Peter Gabriel is a musical genius.

[swaggs]

Incredible.

[Preliminimal]

woww!!! merci- please post a 'non-digital' version!!! this would be great in its true sound =)

[kearnzy1988]

I was there ,the first WOMAD festival at shepton mallet somerset, unfortunaley to much cider and smoking meant i saw the first two numbers and the encore, past out for the rest, lived to regret it ever since, but now i can see what i missed, oh the foolishness of youth

[mediagod2004]

Once again as only Pete can do.

[SheWoreLemon83]

Wow...it's footage like this that makes Youtube an absolutely priceless sharing tool, I've loved Peter Gabriel for a long time, I have all the music and concert dvds but I'm not old enough to have experienced him like this. Thanks for posting and keeping this kind of stuff accessible for those of us who weren't actually around for it.

[bozboz777]

@SheWoreLemon83 You need to experience him with Genesis!!

[SheWoreLemon83]

@bozboz777 I've experienced the Gabriel Genesis era through what's available here, it's a very distant second to living it but I missed out. I greatly appreciate Peter's artistic expression during his Genesis years and love a few of the songs, but to be perfectly honest I am much more into his solo career and Genesis with Phil Collins in the lead. Most of that 70's rock is kind of lost on me.

[McGwinn]

who is it on drums ?

[nimbusilly]

@McGwinn mr jerry marotta. animal drummer. he is power and who new - he can sing. check out tony levin band - cover of kc sleepless. he is amazing.

[amebasc]

Thank you man, this is very rare.

[gj1176]

i love groovy Jerry Marotta !!!

[dowdalli]

I was standing right in front of him - it was the first festival I ever went to & I was only 17. Wish the cameraman had just panned back a little :) Amazing gig though.

[kearns1993]

Was at the first womad PG supported by some chinese operatic singers and simple minds, unfortunatley do not remember too much of PG, too much somerset cider during the day, lived to regret it every since

[Criswallmig]

DIVINE!!!

Thank you!!

[samopdrift]

Devastating!!! Even in this poor sound quality, it stands like a rock! sutherGABland, thanks a lot for sharing this rough and wild beauty!

[RedMapp1]

Best artist in world of music.

[lealdragon]

HOLY $HIT I've never seen this footage!!! Thanks for posting!!!

[jodileigh571]

He looks like Mr. Bean

[raelarise]

I think that 82 was a real high point for Peter as the last two albums were amazing - WOMAD was a financial low point however. I am glad Peter got through this as he just grew and grew. Glad Genesis helped him out in October 82 as it was my first gig.

[StalkerinfromDavid]

awesome

[Cimbarius]

This is a legendary performance of the Master from the very first WOMAD-Festival in 1982.

[MANUELGBARREIRO]

ES UN GENIO

[vibryv]

Wow!! Who would dare perform such an innovative song nowadays in the mainstream rock scene??? true GENIUS!

[earthga]

pink floyd, david bowie and peter gabriel!

[queggy1]

Nobody else but him!

[killprocessofficial]

@vibryv

No one can touch Gabriel. I dare say not even Bowie BITD. Gabriel is a god - his voice, his presence, his command of the audience and the stage. His artistic vision. Every wanna be singer should have an extensive class on Gabriel's brilliance.

[hellchild65]

@killprocessofficial Frank Zappa can, Gabriel is great, but as far as music, Zappa is probly the greatest composer to come out of the 20th century

[davidscurlock1]

@vibryv badass i love it

[davidscurlock1]

Respond to this video...  this is what we paid to see : D

[igiuzzo]

peter é il piú grande musicista contemporaneo!!!

[vattenpuss]

my favorite part is:

Drawn across the plainland

To the place that is higher

Drawn into the circle

That dances round the fire

We spit into our hands

And breathe across the palms

Raising them up high

Help open to the sun

[zinc1oxide]

Wow, pretty rare vid.  Thanks for posting.

[marmas58ink]

Pretty 'heady' stuff, for 1982... especially. More 'world music', (visuals included) than the version on the album. Leaves Paul Simon's 1885/86 attempts seem, at far as African incorporations into Western pop music, rather 2nd hand, (though Simon gets more credit/more creative cred.)

Wonder what his former Genesis 'lads' thought of THIS 'spectacle'? Can't imagine Tony Banks coming on stage with a set of musicians, or performance, such as this!

Still, all in all, it's Tony I prefer over Peter.

[PeterMayer]

I don't agree with your comment about Paul Simon's music. Peter Gabriel, as much as I like him, does not own "primal" music. If you want to go back, Santana was really the first to bring this into rock.

[Kannebas]

Killing Joke also did the primal thing as well. I know Santana did it before them. I was just throwin' it out there, eh?

[hippimummy]

Here's a man who just gets better with age. His songs are as good today as they have ever been. Haunting voice, spine tingling music and a very compassionate man. Superb, thankyou xXx

[jmliss66]

His voice just moves thru your body touching your soul, leaving ripples. His voice is amazing live... I love when he chants & "yodels" (for lack of a better word.)

[SebWars]

..yes, I think there is a better word...but I know exactly what you mean. It's unusual to find an englishman so connected and comfortable with primal roots....not akin to his own.

[jmliss66]

primal screaming/primal chanting...yes!

[camiloquai74]

Inspiring. Truly inspiring.

[ivan92c]

peter is GREAT
