Peter Gabriel is not for everyone, but to see Peter Gabriel live is to see epic concert perfection.

i love that you don't pretend to like every song, keep on keeping it real Angela. however this is one of my fave PB tracks, it's so evocative and sends you back in time and into the mindset of someone else, there is so much emotion and feeling he put into this track and the lyrics are so profound.

It was nice to see Peter and the remaining musicians all do well after the split.

The footage was recorded from his Athens tour in 1987. The song is featured on his fourth self-titled album 'Security' released in September 1982.

I remember exactly 1982, great year ... feeling so old.

I didn't see any comments about the origins of this song, so I thought I would comment. Peter tells the story how in America he was staying at a Motel where one of the staff members - a Native American - was told his house was on fire and he had to get away to save his cat. Later Peter was talking to the guy and asked how he got on and was his cat ok, the person had a long chat with Peter about Native Americans, their backgrounds and tribal traditions, and SanJacinto was the story. It tells how a member of the tribe comes of age via a ceremony. Thick cloud steam rising hissing stone on sweat lodge fire. Around me buffalo roam .. and so on. A rattle snake bite and its survival gets you into the tribe as an adult. Having said this Peter is a drama queen which is why he parted with Genesis who wanted a more traditional music style.

Peter has long been a champion for the underclass/indigenous peoples.

Peter Gabriel was originally the lead singer of the band Genesis , before leaving to go solo and Phil Collins took over. Peter went on to make some great music , a talented artiste and great performer, with as you say quite a unique voice. I enjoyed this, one of his slower ones. A couple of other good ones are 'Sledgehammer' and 'Steam'-Colin Ward

Have you reviewed Peter Gabriels song Biko..obviously it's about Steve Biko..its fantastic..

A great song to review by Peter Gabriel “Shaking the Tree” from Secret World Live. A lot like In Your Eyes. Has the vibe.

Peter Gabriel is very politically active against oppression in all its forms. It may not be your cup of tea, but his concert for Nelson Mandela in South Africa is very moving. Especially when he sings his song about Steve Biko, called Biko.

I concur Angela. Kind of a sleeper for me. It adds variety to live performances though so listening to it with visuals is ok.

This is why I love her reactions cause she doesn't pretend too like a song I like sending all different types of music

This is a nice version, but I think you should listen to the studio version. It's much, much better.

this one grows on you i think, also if you google what it's about and the lyrics before hand you might appreciate it more

Saw him on this tour. At times it was a shamanistic experience.

The live version of "Lay your hands on me" from this tour is staggeringly profound; Gabriel falls back into the crowd and gets passed around overhead of the people; they start ripping his clothes off, people get him back to the stage and when he stands up, from the experience; it's magical; He's almost glowing...Here is the link; kzfaq.info/get/bejne/grKPbMpyuNGmj6s.html

Hey Angela, react to James Blunt "the girl that never was". Amazing song with deep lyrics. Thanks 💐

Angela we need to put a smile on your face! Journey “Send Her My Love” I think would enjoy!

Can you play murder mysteries Hazard Richard Marx , ode to Billy Joe Bobby Gentry please

My favorite by him is In Your Eyes, which you featured sometime in the past! This one is interesting! Bye!

Please react to DMX and Ja Rule - Gotti Style 😅. Kind of different request.

Opium, Dead can dance. Curfew, Agatsuma

This song was OKAY??? This isn't your thing. Let someone else comment.

clearly clueless....shame you miss the entire point of the song.

I'll give you a like, but this song did nothing for me...
