Tomorrow marks the first anniversary of the passing of my wife. I have listened and viewed this video so many times I can’t count them. Somehow it speaks to my loneliness and even perhaps the hope for tomorrow.

In 2011, one year after surviving brain tumor surgery and 2 years after losing my wife to cancer, I was chosen by my tribe to ride from Georgia to Oklahoma on the Remember the Removal Ride (the Trail of Tears). I sang this song to myself the whole 3 weeks and 1000 miles. ....back on the road, alone with the sky.... Thank you, Peter.

For sure. I can't believe seeing him solo "Here Comes The Flood" on Kate Bush's Christmas Special. He looks like he's 20-25, but looks like he's seen an entire lifetime of sorrow. Of course he crushes it perfectly, and was also already out of Genesis at that time too!

This song is truly amazing! What makes it even more amazing is to have been able to follow Peter Gabriel from his roots in the original Genesis group formed 1967 in England. You would never recognize him except in his most creative moments. Always throughout his career he would continue to stretch the limits in all realms of love/hate; joy/sorrow; remorse/forgiveness etc. etc. No social angst has remained untouched within his music as he has challenged all social institutions in one way or another. He has been my greatest inspiration especially in times of great need and depressed spirit!!!!!

@bernios3446 Жыл бұрын

Well I was too young in 1967 but I know what you mean. Discovered Genesis when I was 15y old or so, loved him (and Genesis) ever since. There is hardly any other voice that does that to me.

Beautiful, the way they appears, they are stars, the way Peter Gabriel quit the stage to let them shine and every musician turned toward them. There's also a subtlety when they exist the stage: having them still seated and descending underground would be like treating them as toys, but them quitting the stage walking is another story, a very positive one for disabled people.

I always liked PG's voice, but I kinda lost track of him after Genesis and his early solo albums. I thank a higher power that I found him again in the 2000's with "Secret World Live" and subsequent DVD's. I don't know how or what kind of magic some music posesses, but when it makes you tear up, (Mercy Street, Sky Blue) you know it's special. His talent is and range is nothing short of amazing. I have lost track of how many times I have watched those concerts. Thank you PG. 10/9/19

My husband loved this guy! From early 70's until he passed away in 2012. The day after my husband, Pete, left this world I was crying, sitting in front of the computer. I'd just gotten a Pandora account and really hadn't had much experience with it. Out of every song out there Solsbury Hill (Pete's number 1 fav Peter Gabriel songs). I said out loud "if this is you honey that's all I need to know you're okay". After saying that I had the most bizarre feeling that washed over me. Goose bumps everywhere, hair standing up from my head, back of my neck and arms and the most euphoric feeling.

Great musician and producer, he's currently playing with very good singer Birdy, I really hope to see him again with Peter one day. Now he has the hair back and pretty long beard, he looks very different from this live😂 (He's probabily around 50/52 years old now)
