[eduardferenc11]

I  like all of Peter Gabriel,specialy;Biko;Flood;Sa­n Jasinto;....

[AtheismISgod]

What a good song...It's just too bad that everyone is blinded by money and greed and not talent....You see the comments in almost every video today about how bad music is right now...It's because no one gives a shit anymore and people are addicted to bad music like heroin. Long live the hits from every decade, good music and original tunes are a thing of the past.

[AtheismISgod]

great version of a great song..why "artists" can't be creative anymore blows my ears off and makes me vomit

[lachldun]

Awesome and wonderfully powerful - you can feel the force, desolation and human vulnerability through the music.

[AtheismISgod]

great, great song. It's a real shame music quality isn't this high anymore...In fact, this song is about the downfall of music lol... the big flood smashing quality and smothering it with unwanted noise

[janustismith]

@25Grimes0 Nah dude, Peter Gabriel was a mediocre drummer for Genesis who stopped drumming after their album "Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" and became the lead singer in the stead of Phil Collins.

[Magog64]

@janustismith you have to go School Of Rock :)

[flyingvigil]

@janustismith

ha?

[KriyaArts]

@25Grimes0: Uhm, no. Are you serious, or yanking our chain? Peter was a founding member of Genesis. He played piano and flute, wrote many of the lyrics and was the original lead singer. The Silent Sun was their first single, back in 1968 or '69.

[JohnRyanRealtor]

@janustismith Peter Gabriel was the original lead singer of Genesis. Phil Collins, the drummer, became the lead singer after Peter Gabriel left. You should check out the albums before the "Lamb Lies Down on Broadway", especially "Selling England by the Pound" one of my favorites. By the way I was at this concert.

[FranckygoestoHolly]

@janustismith No. Peter Gabriel has always been the lead singer and flutist of Genesis. You mistake him for Phil Collins who was a brilliant drummer and became the lead singer when Peter Gabriel left the band.

[gordbard52]

@janustismith Are you trying to wind us up or do you really not know that Phil Collins was the drummer and took over lead vocals after Peter Gabriel left?

[TomWhaley621]

@janustismith Are you being sarcastic? 

[Billwatkinson]

@25Grimes0. Gabriel was the lead singer until 1977. Collins was the drummer who took over vocals after Gabriel left. If you can't get your facts right I wold suggest you keep your ignorant mouth shut.

[janustismith]

@Billwatkinson I don't think so Bill.

[janustismith]

My favorite song by Peter Gabriel is Invisible Touch but this is almost as good.

[25Grimes0]

@janustismith

Ha Ha, very funny. (that was a joke, right? else you're listening to the wrong artist)

[sonnymannheim]

This guy is the real JESUS

[ladyfuschia]

@sonnymannheim You may be onto something man.

[masina32]

It's my favourite song .

And years ago I was on a concert in Mannheim. And peter has played 3 hours, an we went to go.

I stand in the middle of the hall and peter come alone back and played this song. I was to make one's flesh creep. I can this moment not forget.

[ladyfuschia]

@masina32 I know your feeling. Beautiful and breathtaking and never to be forgotten.

[RequiemX66]

friends of peter gabriel lets unite hes coming to chicago june and summerfest ....add me

[SixDayWar67]

Some day in the 3rd decade of the 21st century people will realize how talented the original members of Genesis were and not just a few.

[suniram1]

2 people who dislike this sone???? How can anyone not love this song???

[dancgear]

So sad that decades later he would sacrifice the phrasing for minimalism

[MrToothycritter]

I remember eagerly watching this live

[falcala63]

one of my favorites songs...

[skgserenity]

Always makes me cry, every time, just resonates with my heart, so deeply.

[MrAugustus88]

he was so cute .

[TheComedyGeek]

This song speaks to me so deeply, especially the simple piano version, that I feel weak with gratitude toward Mister Gabriel for it every time I listen to it.

This is what art means.

[davidgabrielpeck]

@TheComedyGeek very true

[ABAisSCIENCE]

@TheComedyGeek, drink up, dreamers, you're running dry.

I think soon all will relate. The dreamers or otherwise.

[jerilynnfarana]

i am now 56 years old. i was so blessed to have grown up in the bay area. i saw everything from winterland to shoreline amphetheater. paul mason winery, civic center, cow palace, filmore west, ,slims, and the geat american music hall..1972 until this day. now grandma gets to fly to la or sf or sxsw. i am retired. don't ever say you don't have the money to take in a show. it will burn into your mind for the rest of your life. it is beyond the dollars. it fills your soul for a lifetime.

[darrenlad]

@jerilynnfarana That's a great comment, I was deliberating whether to see Peter Gabriel with the full orchestra in London for the second time in twelve months.. It's costly but the last one was among the best shows I've ever seen. I think you've tipped me over the edge. Thanks

[OLDMANBADGER]

@jerilynnfarana so true

[ACIDSEN]

@jerilynnfarana feel the same!



[klappdog]

@jerilynnfarana you didn't mention anything about the song...thumbs down!!!!!!

[Scheersche]

i love this song so much

[cristicini]

easy does it, and really if the flood came, which according to the old testament it did, we would have no walls and have no place to hide!

[doroash]

I was at this concert!

[Wheelock67]

@doroash ~ me too!!! = )

[MrNotbadyou]

David Gilmour, Mark Knopfler and Peter Gabriel...that's my dying wish to be in the same presence as any one of them.

[zgpeco]

@MrNotbadyou - I'm there with man.



[surfandturf731]

this music set my soul free at a young age

[LabRat6619]

I have never seen him live although I have seen tonnes of my favorite singers! He "looks" like Peter Gabriel here, with black hair. I know that sounds crap....

Great man.

[Caama9]

What a voice ! It's too beautiful I love Peter Gabriel thank you for this video !

[paul475]

I was at this concert!

[NOMADxSOULS]

[somebodysomething]

[delsics]

[KaiserFranzM]

??????????????????????????????­?

[MrChickentikka]

@somebodysomething wtf he's not dead

[MrChickentikka]

@somebodysomething wtf he's not dead?? unless u mean tht as a metaphor?

[matthewct1]

Beautiful song...great, great music!

[ConservativeDemocrat]

It's amazing that someone recorded this. I saw and heard this at Earl's Court shortly after the US tour. Now I too live in North America - Canada. My generation (aged 44) was so lucky to have and see these stars. Thank you Peter and thank you to the poster(s).

[jasonjarvis1988]

in 86-87 was PG a global star?

[musicisalright]

well i'd say early nineties as well? but then he sort of stopped trying

[grzx]

He is a Global Star all the time...

[FeuerGewitter]

"Drink up dreamers...

You're running dry..."

This is just beautiful...

I love the song...

[MaxIphonus]

I really gonna gain my flouze!

[rebellem]

N 1

[nicamarisol]

This is one of Peter's most distinctive songs.

[TheCyberbaby]

heartbreaking beautiful!

makes me cry

[masternate61]

when r we gettin a new album?

[MrProgrock]

Good news every1! In case u missed, Peter Gabriel recieved the Polar price a couple of days ago!

[catsfan2112]

I was at this very show. My 1st Gabriel show. What an awesome musician and performer.

Thanks so much for sharing this. Any other videos from this show?

[jellybeafter]

i love pee gee- he IS the greatest

[72Z15SS]

Tower Theater Upper Darby Pa. !!!

Seems like yesterday... Still have my ticket stub...

[awizardatruestar]

I remember seeing Gabriel open and close his concert at Newcastle City Hall 1977 with this song. Fabulous.

[MazterGuitarz]

Lucky you, never saw him live,

but that's why Youtube is great, you can see all the good musicians/artists/groups you've missed or did'nt have a chance to see!

[awizardatruestar]

These were the shows when he sang 'Waiting for the big one' sat over the balcony at the City Hall. There was a NME interview, with photo's of the show, about the same time (autumn 1977)

[internationalcowboy]

I love I do.

[MazterGuitarz]

This is CULT, CLASSICAL!!!

We're you there, in the 80:s??

WE danced and lived to this ultimate song...

Welcome into the 80:s!!!

[whitebanner]

He's called to be Prophet-Most of his songs have some Spiritual connotation or another,or some reference to a verse from the Bible...

[Sonnenbringer]

He is touring South America.... now! :-)

[LaCosmiatradetuMami]

Si! He´s been here in Buenos Aires on March 22nd! I´ve been there + I still cannot come to my senses... His voice still sounds perfect, better with age I´d say. Wonderful show beautiful talent!

[ChordCluster]

Tear.

Thank you Peter.

We all love and miss you so. How about another tour man?

[zwelgjebast]

Man, I've been listening to covers of this song all evening, but every single one of them pales in comparison to this. It so easy to forget how easily Pete sings this brilliant song. The sound of the piano alone sends shivers up my spine

[yieldyieldyield]

Check out Bette Midler's version...it does justice to this song.

[augfive]

i watch allk three ten year spans..gets better each time1

[zwelgjebast]

I agree

[AUP68]

legend

[bixby96]

I've just watched the 1978 live version of this song & i can't believe the difference. I guess it took hime a while to find his true voice but it was worth the wait.

[MST3Kfanatic]

hey rick, you're not alone...Peter's voice will do that to you; and don't get me started: the soprano voices at the end of Messiah: Amen

[rickrisi]

peter made me cry when i saw him in a couple of occasions performing live this song...

and I don't cry very often...

[combasso2]

@rickrisi me too. from the time I heard PG for the first time I didn't even know how to write in English. After a couple of decades + youtube and all, I just see that the feeling from the beginning is still the same good feeling...

Peace out.

[ireneduffyx4]

@rickrisi

I hear you

[ConservativeDemocrat]

Is this from a DVD that we can buy (in a North American format)?

[murcuryvapor]

What time is it?

[ruggferenc]

It is from 1987

[murcuryvapor]

Actually, I was joking about the clock in the background.

[ruggferenc]

Well...okay :D

It seems 10:32 p.m. :D

[rickrisi]

10:34

[AnthonyArundel]

His voice sounds absolutely gorgeous, although it seems the high notes were beginning to strain a little by this time. It's just a shame he didn't perform the full version here.

[Rinu0]

Weltklasse!
