Perfectly put.......

In a fashion........

The nearest to him in skíll àre the Cure...........if you like Peter & VDGG., try them.........totally different but English & thoughtful.........especially the long, dark tracks...........

Same here now 65

This man is poetry.

Him and John cale x

Gary Spencer I'd say it's wordy but it manages to stay on the artistic side of prolix. I think it works because of the way he declaims at times and then lets loose with the shouts and wails. Also, his word choices are often striking.

Gary Spencer Nicely put. In quite simple language, you've captured the essence of Hammill,s performances as well as anything more complex could.

Yes

@@written12 I don't think Gary Spencer was saying anything negative about it or saying 'it doesn't work'. To me, it's like he's saying, "this is why the general POPulation doesn't want to hear it" ;)

@@written12 Whats better than that?

My man out there just casually sat next to Robert Fripp

I bet Fripp was like Seriously? The Gurdjieffian complexities of our live set, and Hammill can't even remember the words to Refugees??? 😂

That is truly something to remember and to tell the grandkids about.

I was at that concert too! Amazing.

​@@bf1133mé too.,.........the blokes from VDGG, sat behind us..........nice guys ......apologised for spreading out........lovely, posh joint...........usually do small classical gigs........well impressed.......

Probably the greatest musician of all time. Just look at his expression here, just what I imagine Beethoven would have looked like if video capture had been possible at that time.

+Gabriele 95 Why do you think he was not as popular as Peter Gabriel or other icons?

Van der Graaf wasn´t so commercial as Genesis. More obscure, and sophisticated, similar, not musically, to Magma.

+ClayMation because he is not. I get somewhat annoyed when I read bollocks on internet. He is so famous that he is not on deezer. Or on Kaufland. also, Peter Gabriel is hardly famous. fkn. Freddie Mercury is famous.

Genesis was not commercial before 76. They never had a hit in the charts. And yet, they were selling millions, and could fill up big venues, without a single hit. Those were the days...

It's not ahead of its time. But it is a golden album. Man-Erg is one of the most beautiful songs

Andrew Carroll so do I

Yep x

I've seen Peter twice at the Bataclan in Paris, and VDGG once. Thinking this venue is the place where such marvelous moments have been shared, and now...

Were you in Bataclan in 1976 for VdGG concert (World record tour) ?

No, unfortunately. I discovered VDG shortly after that.

@@Gnomaxx I was in Montreal and Trois-Rivières (Quebec october76) for the World record tour/ just amazing

It's the album track............Silent Corner.........,.

Silent corner and the empty stage is one of my favourites - harrowing but beautiful.

Excellent..,......,.brilliànt.

@@Peter0656 ❤️😍

José Iñaki Gómez Peregrino I agree

Exactly!

He is a genius

I had exactly the same experience with PH and hist music!

Agree, usually takes a few listens, then it's with you in your head always.

Gracias. _I guess I'd better sit down, you know I do need the rest..._ I really like that verse.

@@GEAsolar Thank you for reminding me of this song. It came in the right time.

Thanks..for traduction maria.

@@hugoferreyra2809 Te lo prometo, no dejaré una pista: * Sin comentarios reveladores, sin impresiones de mi zapato. Aún así, un camino firme hacia la orilla del agua ... Mantendré mi promesa hasta el final: Tengo la intención de irme gratis. No más prisa, no más ajedrez viajero; Creo que será mejor que me siente, sabes que necesito el resto ... Sí, es hora de renunciar con ecuanimidad y placidez Del juego No puedo explicar; No puedo relatar ... ¿Lo he hecho demasiado tarde? Ahora es el momento de que la comisión informe; Hasta hace poco, pensaba que me habían plantado. Intentando hacer que todo se vuelva real, El permiso para sentir no está garantizado. Pero ahora está sucediendo, me gustaría mantenerlo privado si puedo; Últimas palabras, últimos looks, toma una posición final. Ahora mi número aparece en las Piscinas, Supongo que abordaré el Titanic para un crucero ... Ahora es el momento de aclarar mi estado, Demasiado tarde, me temo, y solo, Como amigos y enemigos atraviesan el escenario; Todos en un arrepentimiento me desheredan. Y todos los puntales se rompen en polvo alrededor de mis oídos: Memoria y conciencia, esperanza y miedo. A medida que me arrastro más lejos en la extremidad Algo me dice que me estoy arrastrando En profecías y vidas desconocidas El final del arcoiris está rodeado de cuchillos ... Mientras estoy de pie en las tablas y las luces del escenario se vuelven débiles, ¿Debo irme al aire libre, o debo entrar? ¿He llegado al punto en el que debería seguir mi ejemplo? Y te sigo a ti y a tus signos? No puedo recordar mis líneas Como las llamadas de gato prompter Y todas las cartas caen En el ataque. Todas las páginas son delgadas, todas las esquinas están curvadas. ¿La estrella del universo cae a través de mi ventana en el mundo? ¿O estoy viviendo (las semillas de la duda) una crónica de venganza? Las curvas de sauce Como lo hacen mis manos; ¿Lo entiendes? ¿Y seguirás siendo mi amigo al final? Cuando mi boca se queda floja Y no puedo convocar otra canción, ¿Debo mirar hacia atrás y decir Lo hice todo ¿Demasiado pronto?

Maravilloso y profundo...entender ahora lo que hammil nos dice.Muchas gracias maria.
