Peter Gabriel & Youssou N'Dour Biko

[kel72able]

amazing as usual!

[MrPlaqueurfou]

la chanson la plus intelligente que je connaisse : la voix de PG témoigne, les choeurs représente la détresse et la colère, la cornemuse c'est le drame et la batterie : la répression policière

[andresp5t1]

The same voice as in genesis

[aprilglaspieable]

If this is about giving up war criminals, I say, turn over W and Cheney and John Woo immediately.

[yeahmansoul]

btx the drummer is manu katche

[wolfmans46]

To Votajasa you are a part of the Genocide and of hiding the Criminals, Serbia carried out the Genocide. No doubt you were resposible. If the message of Biko is anything. GIVE UP YOUR WAR CRIMINALS!!

[mooroopoo]

@wolfmans46 ,So votajasa, being a Serbian is partly responsible for genocide and the hiding of war criminals .How did you come to that conclusion knowing nothing about votajasa other than he or she is Serbian Do you have actual evidence that votajasa was personally involved with genocide and the hiding of war criminals ? guilt by association eh?

[ivobono10]

Biko forever...

[Tod661]

same concert would have been "So"...Peter does sound great in this

[votajasa]

i am from serbia!!!And I am extremly proud!!I am not men eater,savage,agrreasive and killer!!this what peter maid is for the and of the world!!!

[tmbarden]

FInally, Manu Katche is back where he belongs!!!! With Peter Gabriel!!!!

[matraquilla]

Comrade Gabriel , you are a working class hero. God bless you brother

[mikolasa]

This song proves that one man can make a difference.

Biko was not afraid to speak out against incredible injustice.

Peter Gabriel used popular music to make many people in the world aware of the injustice.

So we can make a difference too

[pourrituredecoco]

Réunir plutôt que désunir,çà fait du bien...

[zippyman818]

@pourrituredecoco Bonne musique éveille l'esprit humain à l'action.

Espérons que pour le plus grand bien.

[draft6666]

got nabbed for smoking at the nec when listening to this with my arm in the air....this ranks as one of the most eerie but brilliant songs along with The Heathen by Bob Marley.

[CHRIS19571000]

je suis en accord avec les commentaires récents oui la musique devrai une communion entre toutes les races et unir ces peuples plus de guerre plus de privation plus de racisme l ideal reve sur notre terre

[zippyman818]

@CHRIS19571000 Music, whatever the language, may not be the answer. But, as music stirs the emotions of the human spirit, that's a good place to start the negotiations among different people.

Vive la musique!

[Jackal0103]

Than u to the various nations of the World that today in South Africa, freedom and democracy reigns. Peter Gabriel, Miriam Makeba, Salif keita, Ray Phiri etc led the fight against Apartheid from the outside. All their efforts are appreciated. Biko lives and SA remains inspired.

[suegreenbar]

@Jackal0103 Talking of freedon and democracy..check out on utube..Pine Ridge Reservation..the conditions that the Native american Indian are forced to live in and the prejudice from white Americans! America? if that is democracy and civilisation then l can only denounce it. Peace.

[lunauruguay]

Qué excelente esta versiòn homenaje a BIKO!!!

[A01061769]

Biko is alive in the words of freedom. 

[JARREmenoid]

I imagine about world, that all people live according Gabriels message through this song....

[Kenentigern7]

Bought Gabriel 3 in '79 on venal! had heard of Biko previously but this enlightened this bright eyed youth. Power.

[stravaganti]

September '77

Port Elizabeth weather fine

It was business as usual

In police room 619

Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko

Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko

Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja

The man is dead

[dunkay44]

been dead is nothing as longer you lighteen the darkenesse.

[siggygran]

still brilliant.

[Lumdatalbahn]

Biko isn´t dead.....with this song still alive

[wytwolfen]

If you're so busy being white you don't notice Biko and the other freedom fighters liberates you too, that's your problem and you shouldn't go around inflicting it on others.

Biko's light...

[LeCutter]

Apartheid is over Pete. And now South Africa is the crime capital on the planet. Glad that worked out so well for you, you treehugging liberal douchebag. I'm sure it's a great comfort to all the whites who were murdered and robbed after being there for centuries. Oh yeah, and if Africa is the cradle of man, they weren't really stealing anything were they because we're all African.

[Fitzer090876]

@LeCutter And what about the hundreds of thousands of south africans that were raped,murdered and robbed of their lands by the invading white man? You reep what you sow.

[QuigonMaster99]

Ein Lied wie ein Hammer !!

Song like a hammer!

Love you Peter, Youssou and all!!

the man is dead .... but not forgotten

REMEMBER !!!

[Dalgren969]

Once the flame begins to catch...the wind will blow it higher...

For me it was Athens, October 3rd 1989....

with Peter,Youssou, Sting, Tracy, George and Bruce...

Once the flame begins to catch...the wind will blow it higher...

[ayubtawasne]

Peter,créativité, intelligence, sensibilité ...

[bergerkind]

lasst uns nie vergessen, um wen und was es hier geht.... großartiger Song für einen großartigen Menschen..... von ihm sollten wir uns alle etwas annehmen...

[johanna794]

heel mooi johanna

[Lannigh]

Merci Peter

Merci Youssou

Merci Manu

;o)

[SuddenSparkles]

I saw a live performance of this at the Montreal Forum and it was probably the if not one of the most amazing concerts I've ever attended. I love YN'D & PG with equal passion... I have too many YouTube lovers... what is wrong with this? Am I a sinnerwoman or what? ha ha ha

[jbezerradeandrade]

Nesta nova era da existencia dos negros e um prazer rever este video , muito bom , muito legal

[Pancheitus]

Great Cordera... The bersuit Gabriel Singer..

[elisaloba]

humanist, artist, he looks with her hart beautiful rock to change the world

[Swaitek]

He is a genius, absolutely!

[123losvas]

mooi

[torranexus]

I hate the lack of energy here comparing the original... what, Biko is less important now, or something???? Biko is FOREVER... ty sir Gabriel to expose it then... sadly, nowadays rare ones even know of the name of Biko....how shameful...

[natasjamaria]

Well, don't know about other folks... but i carry Biko in my heart! As long as we do not forget, he is not dead.

[jr200849]

make me think,..wasn't peter gabriel a fox back in the day? trying to get some tension off the subject here, you would not like my comment posted, could get us native americans riled up there , very respected work mr. gabriel

[Chippychap]

Don't just slag the guy off cos you think other folk were better. Point us in their direction by all means but allow Peter his due as well.

[batourey]

We tossed out the scoundrals, now it's time to get rid of the rascals. We didn't sacrifice the Bikos for the Mugabes - you bleed and suffer, mon afrique bien aimee'

[Chippychap]

It's the ones that pretend not to be rascals and scoundrels, like Mandela and m'beke who suck up to Mugabe.

[kinshasaAPP]

You are correct. Mandela wasn't all he seems to be.

[cjcable393]

i lived it i was in philly

[142179]

I've seen this live and PG put everybody in a trance. Absolutely fantastic and powerful message. Now if only more people got it...

[54spiritedwill54]

Great performance! This is how music should be in its world form.

[rockaires]

This is a song for freedom and for peace and harmony. Great Peter.

[Cordoba82]

Huum, I don't think is burned out. This happens to almost every singer that has a very packed concert schedule, and you catch his concert towards the end of the tour. The man still have a voice. Probably is his style of delivering that has changed. People change with age, you know.

[thehorseman2]

He looks and sound burned out on this performance. the band is not impressive. I've cought a 1986 live performane here that is on a grand scale.

[Aiken187]

this song is more about the message than how well the band plays (as it is absurdly simple, which is also its strenght).

second: this isn't Peter's band (missing Tony Levin and David Rhodes as part of it).

I've seen the man play (growing up and still growing up). Still very impressive. It takes something to get the entire crowd to act in unity as he does.

[Whistlejocket]

A truly wonderful way to always enjoy life is to take time to sit and enjoy your own.

[Jediwarriormedic]

Yes, it was a sad day, Biko was a great man. There is only one South African singer who knew what it was like to fight for the end of Apartheid, Johnny Clegg ( he is also on YouTube). Johnny was not in it for the fame, money like all these UK has beings.Why did Peter not sing about the atrocities the British did in Northern Ireland, the reason, not enough money. RIP Biko, from champaigne fame singers.

[meerkat70]

Sorry? There were a few more, and more convincing activist musicians around during the apartheid era, I think. Nothing against Clegg, he was a fine commercial musician.

[mirobaldo]

Hu? Have you seen in the same concert Johnny Clegg playing Asibonanga with Peter Gabriel?

[Squab1972]

R.I.P Steven Biko, Peter Gabriel is awesome look forward to seeing him live.

[usmctanks1]

What is funny is that when he left Genesis, he played (and I saw him five times) before very small audiences!!! I wanted to hear the early Genesis, and when I first heard Biko, I did not know about the song/man. But I have learned,another great video and thank you for it!!

[bellaimages]

Yes! Then you know as I do that Peter physically touched his audience as much as he could ... often entering the stage going right through the audience to get there! I saw him many times after Shock the Monkey. He has grown in depth to be able to touch millions more with only his words!

Peter Gabriel is a great artist, and even greater man!

[chileepengwin]

i sang this song with my school choir. it is just a beautiful song with such moving lyrics

[alemantutti]

Wow...I remember Friday 10 October, 1988 Mendoza, ARGENTINA... Amnesty International Concert ..... Peter Gabriel Youssou, Manu Katche (drummer). When they sang "Biko" the moon was on the stage.... and at the end of the song, Peter throw its back to people and nearly I could not touch it....

[TheOttttt]

12 September 2007 Biko was killed 30 years ago by the Apartheid Regime, 12 September has to become International Biko's day, let's not forget!

[lilblkraincloud]

You are soooo lucky! All my life, (35yrs.) I've wanted to see P.G. live. Hasn't happened yet. Well, it never will now , I'm sure. But thanks for sharing! It's awesome! He's so amazing! Everything about him!

[oepsoeps]

try like me to be sixty (just kidding).

and the good thing about being sixty is that I too was at a PG live concert, at Trorhout Belgium.

never a dull moment !

[berrygoodstuff]

Oh man I love this stuff. What a great combo.

[babawu2]

GRAVVVVVVVVVVVVVIIIIIIIISIME

[dreyoh]

Trop bien cette version!!! Merci Peter!! en + Manu KATCHE à la batterie ça le fait grave!!! ;)

[go2palm]

A lot has changed since the mid 1970s, when Gil Scott Heron asked and answered the question: "What's the word? Johannesburg"

It suggests that maybe there is something what people say: "When Earth and all the heavens are gone forever, Music alone shall remain."

Now, if I could only get those guys from Johannesburg to stop clogging my email box and offering me some dead guy's $10,000,000 dollars in exchange for my banking information via email, it will be a better day.

[arrahduran]

you are right dear, but i just want to add something: Even guys from Senegal are into this biz.Let them know that we already know what they nedd.

[sk8mullen]

okkk

[sk8mullen]

okkk

[jbindalian]

Pwter Gabriel....a brilliant man. Biko!! Celebrate his life!!!

[grahammill]

Have always loved this song and, today, I'm sitting watching it on youtube in the very heart of Johannesburg where I'm currently living. Stephen Biko and those like him changed the very fabric of this society and they're to be held up high!

[amlapasi]

I will die when GOOD will dicide, no because of your message!

if you dont like you...it's your problem... live the outrs alone....whit nice and good thinks in life

[dama81]

thank you Peter for this song...

[im2girly4you]

Great performance! This is how music should be in its world form.

[lilblkraincloud]

EXACTLY!!!

[jbindalian]

Steven Bilo. A life truely well lived. And a life to celebrate. Thanks Peter. I love that we can celebrate his life together. (And it reminds me, how few people can celebrate MY lefe,).....Got to do more

[vidgamer77]

gabriel is life

[somambo]

wicked. Youssou n Peter. Good stuff. Where is music today?

[Squab1972]

Amazing Guy this gives me goosebumps everytime i hear the live version of Biko.

[KARLITOS61]

PETER "Angel" GABRIEL is my idol. From GENESIS to now, he is one of my great musical references.

[egoriskarma]

chills. everytime i hear this song chills run up and down my spine.

[darthkards]

i dont think its me.. but the volume on this could be like a lot higher.. it was nearly impossible to hear this. . and this should be so f'n loud that it rocks the beams. where is this from? and what year??

darthkardzz at aol dot com.

anyone into trading boot cds?? email me

[AnthonyArundel]

2005 - the Amnesty International concert in Geneva, I think.

That looks like his old crew in the band: Manu Katché on the drums and Jean-Claude Naimro on keyboards. Is that right?

Gabriel is my hero.

[paris4la]

merci

[Abraxashumunculus]

No comments? But this is incredible!

[bonelones]

amazing singers don't need comments
