Port Elizabeth weather fine
It was business as usual
In police room 619
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
-The man is dead
When I try to sleep at night
I can only dream in red
The outside world is black and white
With only one colour dead
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
-The man is dead
You can blow out a candle
But you can't blow out a fire
Once the flames begin to catch
The wind will blow it higher
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
-The man is dead
And the eyes of the world are
watching now
watching now

Ntokozo Sithole RESPECT to Stephan Biko....freedom activist
Nto? We ARE HERE. PROMISE. 😞😥😞😣 SHAME ON :THEM. LOOK UP MATRIX. OR MANDELA EFFECT. Strap in, and this comment proly b thrown. Monitered wat eve. TRUE.
And how have things turned out in SA???
Possibly one of the worst places to live in the world.
Congrats👍
@@cowkeksdontbnosy2262 racism is natural. All races are racist, accept for one. Because only one race has been convinced it was evil.
I wonder why there was and is such an effort to push this belief in just this one particular race.
Wow !!
Did not know this until I chose this version 🙏🏿💯🕯️
This has been my grieving anthem for many years. In the lat '60's and early '70's, as a young white South African involved in the student movement as Steve was midwifing the birth of the Black Consciousness Movement, I came to know him personally. When he was assassinated in jail in '77, by which time I was in Canada and hadn't been in touch with him for 5 years, I was devastated.
I still wonder whether the country of my birth, which I still love so much, would have progressed differently if he was still physically alive.
Thank you, Peter Gabriel, for giving this to me and so many others. I am so glad you at last had the chance to bring it to South African soil.
Amandla!
Peter Grabriel did more in exposing the story than any media. It hit Chicago (my home) like a tsunami. Joseph Campbell was right, artists are more perceptive and cognizant than most others. Peace to you.
@@interminglings1721Yes indeed artists and the arts!
Mind you, the "Cry Freedom" movie also helped. Though it focussed on the story of Donald Woods the rebel editor, and didn't thoroughly portray Steve, it was something a lot more 'unpolitical' types and non-South-Africans could relate to.
Thank you.
And look how things have turned out....
But then again the people involved in the revolution knew who it would end up in SA....
Same here with the civil rights movement. They are going to turn this country into SA... AND IGNORANT PEOPLE LIKE YOU GUYS ARE HELPING!!! WAKE UP
Peter Gabriel, a giant for human rights!
We need more like him nowadays!
Simply one of the greatest songs ever written. Changed the world for the better.
You don't say?? South Africa has become possibly the worst place in the world to live. But, that was the purpose of all the propaganda that was pushed through Peter, Bono and the rest.
„You can blow out a candle, but you can‘t blow out a fire!“
Let‘s hope he is right!!!!
@@avoiceinthewilderness5766 I agree. Those that sing the praises have either moved, or never lived in this country, to start with.
@@Titchify The darkness grows stronger and the few that carry the light and salt will soon be removed and hidden living among each other and the world will be dark and the preservation will be over.
Great song. Mr. Gabriel, please make such a song for the Palestines, who suffers Israel Apartheid and even Genocide.
This song made me aware of the big injustice that was suffered by the black people in South Africa. I was 14. It made me join Amnesty International and to participate in protests against apartheid. It made me a political person. To see Peter Gabriel perfom it in Johannesburg on this video made the hairs raise on my neck: Touching and very powerful. Sadly, although apartheid is long gone, we are still a long way from equal rights. The struggle countinues...
I really don't think the struggles will every cease as long as neither side wants to forgive the other.
Who else learned of apartheid due to this song? Thank you Peter Gabriel and thank you Steven Biko, RIP.
You can blow out a candle but you can‘t blow out a Fire, once the flame begin to catch the wind will blow it higher!“
Al oir este tema estan facinante que cada eslabon te lleva al corazon mas duro de cualquier dictador .
RIP Stephen Biko
I am an American but the murder of Stephen Biko touched me and softened my heart
Biko is a Saint and he should be taught about to all young people
❤
Mr Gabriel, I’ve always loved your music! Listen to it to this day.!!! You’ve gotten me through tough times in the U.S. military on deployments . Godspeed 😅
Peter Gabriel is an icon,a legend and a force to be reckoned.Every song he touches becomes a gem.If we were able, I would wish him eternal life.
I agree with you
That is without a doubt one of the most beautiful posts I've ever read. Much respect.
One of the reasons Peter Gabriel is one of my favorite artists.
On 29 November 2003, an event called the 46664 Concert was held at Green Point Stadium, Cape Town. It was hosted by Mandela and its goal was to raise awareness of the spread of HIV/AIDS in South Africa. What a mysterious world we live in to be able to follow a song for 37 years from the the end of one injustice of racist brutality to the unspeakable horror of a pandemic. I still have hope for the better angels of our nature.
Because
And the tears still flow.
😪 yes
2021 n they still flowing today still brutal abuse going on . Cowards hiding behind uniforms.love to you all from robin hood country Nottingham england.
nothing more to say
RESPECT to Stephen Biko and Patrice Lumumba as well.
We love you Steve Biko this world would be a better place if all people would be like you Steve Biko we will always remember you as we remember Madiba Mandela thank you Steven Biko Africa and the rest of the world will always love you the world is still watching you are a hero Steve Biko 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
God Bless Steven Biko and Peter Gabriel
Good Peter
Ironically, those surviving South African policemen involved in the brutal murder of Steve Biko, watched this concert as free men. - Never arrested. Never charged. Never held accountable for their crimes
I can't help but look at that choir, such proud people! Peter and Madiba make me proud to be a human being.
Will always be my favorite Peter Gabriel song - to everyone willing to put their lives on the line to combat social injustice - the angels are awaiting the likes of you.
On every level, this is impossibly powerful.
„Business as usual in Policeroom 619“...
Hard to accept but reality all over the world!
THE EYES OF THE WORLD ARE ARE STILL WATCHING.
well I hope they see the murder of white farmers.and there familys!
I don't wanna talk about them
@@jamesmullan8590 Yes, yes. We do not exist to the media until we blow something up something crazy they have created, you know why? The majority of us are loners who stay their self's or their Obo families.
live love and bug all brothers and sisters.
But not like before. Now, just watching with little interest and no action. The politics of South Africa and other African nations is hard for some to understand.
You can blow out a candle but you cant blow out a fire..once the winds began to catch the wind will blow it higher.
Thankyou to Peter Gabriel, Steven Van Zandt, Jerry Dammers, Simple Minds, who all gave this young Yorkshireman a musical education. Biko, Sun City, Free Nelson Mandela, Mandela Day - they opened my eyes and made me aware
✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿 For Nelson Mandela, Oliver Tambo, Walter Sisulu, Hector Piterson, all who Died During Apartheid............ For Steve Biko, AMALDA!!!!!!
Finally, played where it should had, in the first place! Well done Peter! Long live Biko! Our everlasting love from Greece (... from where, was, Mr. Mandela's lawyer, who tried so hard, for many years, to save him, from the claws of Apartheid!)
@RED PILL PORTAL And the assholes of the Apartheid, who persecuted, and imprisoned him, were the "good guys".... Heah?!... is this what you're trying to tell us here, wise guy?!... heah?!
STEPHEN BANTU BIKO !!
You will be missed for ever
my brother.
March 6, 2021 marks the 1st time I have heard this song. Life-changing !
Beautiful! A very moving song. Peter Gabriel sings it with his heart and soul
Best version ever!
This choir is chilling.
Amazing.
not seen the film love 2 see it , i m NAIROBI born
A la mémoire de Steven BIKO ! le grand homme de l'afrique du sud ! Ne jamais l'oublier !
The significance is unprecedented. Love this forever wow
No words are strong enough Stephan Biko
omg. What a moving moment. Even PG is quite moved unusually. Singing this fantastic song there is something he remembers for sure...
Soldier of Lord GOD has fallen.!1 innocent soul, dead may never die till get justice then will RIP.!!
With only ONE COLOUR; DEAD... R.I.P. Steven Biko - Feb.2021
I cant believe I haven’t ever heard this song, I actually heard it at the end of an old 1986 tv Show Miami Vise. I have played literally 50 times and still replaying it because it has touched that much. I was a young man when this song was played in 1986 but I am a older man who still loves Music. This Song has Touched my Soul, I remember the Fall of the Apartheid in South Africa, America has went through it, I don’t believe it’s here anymore for the most part, but I believe Hatred for our Fellow Human being will continue as long as the World exists.
Fantastic to display the wonderful work of Peter Gabriel! God bless Biko and Peter and everyone from Patrick
Perfeito .
Homem de coragem Peter Gabriel todo o meu respeito !!!
I was look for this song. didn't know who sing it but now 👍 up.
Me 2
This song made me Biko aware back in the day. Shame on the World for all the injustices still in it! Shame on us!
Shame on us? Who? Sir or mam.
@@reagan513 pardon?
DAMN! THIS... was a long time coming! With this, the song has finally come full circle. 💝
un grand moment d'émotion
absolutely beautiful .thank you for this😢 l cry
Wow, this is absolutely astonishing.
Hopefully I get a chance to see this man in concert.
Peter is,always very good in concert. But, this was a once in a lifetime special moment for him and the audience.
It is beyond words have seen him six times dating back to 1984. Masterful.
COOL...
VERY CO!!!!
RIP STEVE BIKO

🍃Sensacional!!! A música tem múltiplos poderes... unificar idéias, tem o poder de mobilização, de homenagear a história, pessoas, enfim de transmitir magníficas emoções. Belo exemplo. Adorei.🍃⚘😊👍🇧🇷
In the mid 80's I was studying at UMIST. Me and mates used to go to the Bowling Green in Manchester, behind the MRI. Most Friday nights the house solo muscian (Steve Lee?, he was blind) played this on his guiter. It never failed to bring the house down.
thank u for this concert i didnt see yet before, would love to watch the entire concert
Die beste Hymne des 20.Jahrhunderts. Und gesungen vom beste Interpreten.
Auf jeden Fall eine der gängisten. Und der Wichtigsten!!!! Aber schade das es solch eine Hymne geben muss. Besser wäre Steven Biko wäre am leben geblieben.
Thank you Peter Gabriel and RIH Steven Biko 🙏🏿✊🏿 ❤🌹
ont ne s'en lasse pas ..ENORME...
Stunning song never heard this before
Wunderbarer Song für die Menschenrechte ❤❤❤❤💞
Absolutely ❤️🙏🇺🇸
Goosebumps.... great song
Beautiful song! Thank you so much for sharing and God bless all from Patrick
Always liked this song by Peter Gabriel. Biko was tortured and killed by Security Police on September 11, 1977. Notorious Gideon Nieuwoudt was the one who carried out the orders for Biko to be beaten badly and take that long ride to Pretoria to die knowing that it was called "The White City" at that time. Hospitals in Pretoria refused to treat or heal blacks.
Wow 😣😔😢
Actually September 12, to be precise. ( September 11 was the 911 attack on the Twin Towers)
@@antoinettehalberstadt7530 True and Biko was 30 years old when he died.
Im a middle ages white guy I have no right to feel the way I do about this song. But this song kills me each and everytime I listen to it.
You’ve got EVERY right to feel for this song, we are ALL humans. I Was a 17 year old, know-nothing when I heard this in ‘78, and it got me doing ‘my homework’ and I saw how the real world worked behind the scenes. I know you meant well, but it’s okay to be white and have feelings, I mean, we’re human also. 😃. EVERYONE please STOP bringing race unnecessarily into conversation, you’re only doing the bidding of the devil. (Or as we like to call them, the 1 percent!)
Yes, the eyes of the world are watching now.
Even better than the Concert for Nelson Mandela in England.
Este tema con unas gaitas te hace llorar.
I often wonder if people around the world, besides South Africa, would know who Mr Biko was if not for Mr Gabriel's song. Everything was FREE MANDELLA in the U.S.OF A. Read the book and watch the movie 'Cry Freedom'.
they need to watch out for EVERYONE
e' un dichiarazione commovente per tutti i prigionieri politici che hanno sacrificato la loro vita per un ideale
superbe ! merveilleux !
i read about his story in a book.. 😊🤟 then i went there to check it out for myself 😲❤️
This song is an emotional one big time!
I feel at home here thanks to PG
everyone send this to twitter , would it be fitting if this song crashed twitter .
Yihla Moja means "Come spirit" in Xhosa (a South African language).
I always wonder what that means
beautiful and enigmatic :)
Un grande della musica rock
Bantu Stephen Biko was murdered, not killed. If one is going to protest, say the truth, Mr. Peter Gabriel.
It's murdered and killed are the same thing
the world ! would tkan so much is a great man human petter Gabriel vehter hot or col
تحياتي الخالصة لكل اخواننا من ادم وحواء
Free Palestine!!! The eyes of the world, are.., still, watching! And, we, had enough of it!
No more walls!!!
september 2019 business as usual in all xinjiang
This song can be heard in the 1980s television series "Miami Vice", (episode: 'Evan').
How many times can one song break your heart?
Legend!!!
Wow.
Never forgett. God bless you all.
great........
September TWELFTH, (12) actually, Peter
I wonder what Steven Biko would think of South Africa now.?
Disappointed for sure.
Had thet not murdered him, I wonder if South Africa would be better now.
i read about this man.. in abook 🤟
BLM!🙋🏽♂️
Fucking Beautiful, not a racist thought or action; just human loving human.
I THINK YOU WILL FIND IT TOOK PLACE IN CAPE TOWN AT THE GREEN POINT STADIUM .
Yees
Qui connaissait S Biko hors des frontieres d'A Sud en 80? Par contre un public plutôt blanc !
C'est devenu en hymne
Europe, know that we don’t feel you owe us anything.
How long was the song banned in South Africa and was this in fact his first performance of Biko there?
Credo Mutwa
It could be now
There only one peter
😪😪
You
If you are unable to relate to this song I think you voted for the Sewer Rat, and identify as a Republican
What a colossal imbecile you are.
That is the attitude at the root of all the world's problems.
Blind ignorance.
What's this number for
It was Nelson Mandela's registration number in prison.
@@PapaIsmailaDieng-aliamsi thank you
i am dedicating this song to Elon Musk , share this to twitter , remind him that we remember how he really got rich .
