RARE!!! Peter Gabriel - The Roxy 77 part 1

[TheSurfybroad]

yes, this is pg, I was there too....is this the concert where he sent autographs out to everyone in line, because we waited all day to get in? Was a photocopy of a photo, he wrote something different on every one of them ..... so cool

[gaffermike01]

ok so me and my friend at the time are the ones who super-8'd this p g performance at the time. so yes it's p g alright. he had a super 8 and i had a super 8 as well. that's why some of the footage looks so different -my super 8 footage was out-of-focus and his was in- focus. thanx laurel for transfering it to tape way back when. also if you see any youtube super 8 footage of either genesis/supertramp/ELP/floyd (all from '77) with the audio overdubs....guilty as charged.... :-/

[martinfilmworks]

Oh yes this is Peter Gabriel. I was at everyone of these Roxy shows!!!

[nancdub27]

Peter played 3 nights, April 8-10, 1977. There were 2 shows per night. I went every night. Am surprised at those who question that this is Peter...obviously you missed out!!! Thanks for the memories!

[rocker70sman]

Ahh this is so great! I love the way he moves in this one i wish there was more footage. Thanks for this though!

[goofyfoot750]

I was at this show, and remember that Peter was wearing the hoodie with the stripe on one sleeve. Genius footage. thanks

[journeythruthepast]

A cover of "Ain't That Peculiar"? A fine one too. Wow, awesome footage.

[woofycalling]

What? Wierd! That's not Peter and that's not Genesis. Good one dewd

[ThefightingCelt]

@woofycalling Take it from me; this is Peter Gabriel during a concert in 1977 singing " Moribund The Burgermeister " from his first solo album.

[ydoanything112]

I was there that night.

[tonybugeja]

I might be wrong, but that doesn't look like PG. Like I said I might be wrong, if I am sorry.

[Magog64]

@tonybugeja  is his brother .....RAEL !!! D)

[jwashley]

@tonybugeja I'm sure its not the first time you've been wrong. Haha! Just kidding. Yes, this is definitely Peter Gabriel.

[pbode1]

Pardon. make that 32 years...!

[pbode1]

Yes! Tony still had hair 22 years ago!

Brilliant. It took me a minute before I realized I was listening to Moribund.

[frinkmhey]

22 years ago would be 1988. It was long gone by then.

[pazzensutra]

Amazing. That was so LIVE. It's also amazing how Peter looked like a teenager for a while after leaving Genesis. Thanks for posting.

[adamtzsch]

Peter didn't get much of a chance to 'get his funk out' whilst in Genesis. Thank God he left.

[GazamYT]

Incredible footage. Thank you for sharing!

[somethingyettocome]

I Just kinda realised that Genesis ripped off the "laughing" part in Mama from the "I will find out" part in Moribund the Burgermeister...

[rael7894]

were they playing back in nyc in the beginning?

[Gehirnstrudel]

And uhm..I have a question: Which song is it that he performs from 0:07 to 0:37. I've never heard that one before.

[19nywf39]

"'Ain't That Peculiar"-- A great old Marvin Gaye song Gabe did on this tour. Check out the original on youtube from 1965.

[Gehirnstrudel]

Oh cool. Peter seems to have sung a lot of other's songs on his tours yet never released those covers on records. Well anyway, thanks a lot for responding! :-)

[Gehirnstrudel]

P.S.: I read somewhere that he also used to sing Marvin's "Heard it through the grapevine" in some of his concerts. Do you know if there's a video available somewhere of him singing it?

[adamtzsch]

Peter's early passion - what first got him interested in performing - was 60's black soul. Otis Redding converted him to the Dark Side :)

[Gehirnstrudel]

OMG! So cool. But unfortunatly it stops at the beginning of Waiting for the Big one. I've never heard or seen him perform it live. I would have love to. But anyway, thanks for posting your great videos!

[Gehirnstrudel]

Oh now I remember I DID see the live version of Waiting for the big one here on youtube about a month ago...nevermind! :D

[mynameisntowens]

I was there in that very crowd...every night. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Oh the memories!

[xtc1986]
