I originally wanted to upload the great performance of This Side of the Looking Glass from 1982 with the orchestra, but someone already uploaded it. So instead, i'm uploading this rare (?) performance of Traintime from Lille 20/4/96, also with an orchestra

  • What was this program? I don't think it was a PH concert.. So what?

  • @Flower1three

    It was some festival including artists performing with the Lille orchestra.

    Some tracks were broadcast, including this one.

    I know PH also performed This Side of the Looking Glass, but i only have the audio from it.

    As an encore of the broadcast, a performance of Give Peace a Chance was performed by all.

    PH didn't really fit well in Give Peace a Chance, in my opinion :)

  • I'm so intrigued by the combination of Hammill and orchestra. Did he play any other songs with the orchestra? Does footage of these hypothetical "other songs" exist?

  • The only other instance that i know of is "This Side of the Looking Glass".

    I uploaded it to the Tube, you can look for it.

  • Hi LitzLitz,

    great performance. Thanks.

    is there any chance of obtaining a copy from this clip somewhere ?

    reiniere.

  • Hi man,

    It's circulating, i guess you can obtain it in a trade or something.

    In any case, you've got the complete clip here...

  • Went to Lille with Christina to see PH with the orchestra. PH just did Looking Glass and Traintime (most artists just did 2 songs). Despite being short it was worth the trip.

  • Peter Gabriel stole Hammill's idea !! Both are friends,be nice if they toured together,WOW what a show that would be ,with full Orchestras and bands !!

  • Please is there anymore????

  • Such a treat to see Peter in this unusual context and making a masterly performance. Thanks for posting this.

  • In an alternate universe, this would have been a EuroVision contest winner.

  • Extraordinaria grabación de Peter Hammill en directo con Orquesta en Lille, France, en 1996. Creo que la canción se llama "Traintime"

  • Yeah I've seen that. It just seems strange that an entire orchestra was assembled twice and only two songs were played.

  • Quelle formidable prestation ! J'adore ça.
