Peter Gabriel simply wrote some of the most catchy, eclectic ground breaking music ever. He was weird, but in a good way. Outlandish, but never pretentious. Stylish, but down to earth. The guy was just very talented.
This is why I'm more than happy to forgive his diminished output in later years of his career. His catalogue is effing amazing. I won't complain. I'll go see him again if he tours near me.
Or when he performs We Do What We're Told, telling the audience the back story and then tells them to sing along and shouts at them "Louder! Sing it like you mean it!" and they do what they're told...
Not in concert though. He took it took the extreme in the presentation of Lay Your Hands On Me on his 1983 Tour, with what I believe are the first instances of crowd surfing.
@@LB-zp7eg Absolutely correct and I was at one of those concerts when they had general admission and was on the floor and got to pass him around as he sang Lay Your Hands On Me with the wireless microphone around his head and to his mouth,what a great memory.😎
Never liked Peter Gabriel with Genesis but never missed a concert when he came around N.Y. and saw him about 50 times and what a great solo performer..
Great song by a great artist. Loved that Peter championed world music very early on. I often wander if artists watch their TH-cam vids and read the comments.
Always exemplary to hear Peter's creations and when this first came out I was amazed by the sonic texures Peter had created with the Linn Drum as well as Fairlight and live percussionists,this sog in particular.Thanks Peter,Tony,Jerry,David and David Lord as well for being the creative tech conduit to get this album in the shape it is.
Yeah, and hi collab with Laurie Anderson and the technologies they used and listed on their albums. I used to blat this in the garage so many times, those pounding drums at the end, and 12 inch singles back then that were different mixes.
Kind of funny that this is a rare song about the high social needs of rock stars and Peter sings it like a nerd with his hands in his pockets. It's awesome.
great editing ! at firstI was sure this is some kind of official release. will search for the full movie. I also love the Rockpalast show from 1978 footage, wish I was born time to watch this live when it happened.
Un documento maravilloso! Hasta hoy, no lo había visto y eso que soy un seguidor de este grandioso cantante, compositor y creador desde hace más de 30 años. Gracias por compartirlo!
One of my favorite albums from the very first listen! I like to think this song is from the point of view of an alien 👽 in the context of Close Encounter. and the "lay your hands on me" is from a human.
Unpopular opinion- Peter Gabriel is the best singer ever
Popular with me...
I agree
Peter Gabriel was and remains a genius song writer.
I'm actually glad he left Genesis. So much great music might have been missed.
Well like the girl said in the fault in our stars.everything's better with a peter grabriel song
David...You Are Correct!

He was and also he is and will be ;-)
Aaron Beauchamp the man js a Artist! such texture and range.

Well said.
He has the Touch
This is why I'm more than happy to forgive his diminished output in later years of his career. His catalogue is effing amazing. I won't complain. I'll go see him again if he tours near me.
With so many of his songs, a minute or so in you think it can't get any better, then he somehow takes it to another level.
It looks you straight in the eye and says HEY! D.I.Y.
Wow this is cool, like the different sounds
i love his voice
His voice loves you as well miss.
It is sure a unique sound
My favorite. I don't know what it is about it either. He's not a technically great singer.
@@janus2059 I have to disagree. He conveys a lot of emotion with his voice. It is kind of raspy. I think it's cool.
I put him in a separate group with Chris de Burgh and Steve Winwood. Fantastic Voices.
This could be my favorite song on the album, I don't know, it's such a fucking incredible album.
fav video more like it
My favorite solo record of his. It's out there, and it's genius.
its class and he should still play it live
This is my favorite video on youtube, and has been for years. What a song. Perfection.
I love the unflagged irony, he wants contact but sings with his hands in his pockets.
Or when he performs We Do What We're Told, telling the audience the back story and then tells them to sing along and shouts at them "Louder! Sing it like you mean it!" and they do what they're told...
Not in concert though. He took it took the extreme in the presentation of Lay Your Hands On Me on his 1983 Tour, with what I believe are the first instances of crowd surfing.
No irony here, just video production in studio. Yeah - that's all going on in this video...
Indeed, he reveals much.
@@LB-zp7eg Absolutely correct and I was at one of those concerts when they had general admission and was on the floor and got to pass him around as he sang Lay Your Hands On Me with the wireless microphone around his head and to his mouth,what a great memory.😎
One of my absolute favorite Peter Gabriel tunes and it's fun to see his early studio setup.
To this day, this song has remarkable sounds.So creepy and haunting.Love it.Some of this great artists best by far in my opinion.
demonweber666 Peter NO AUDIOTUNE NEEDED Gabriel
Larry fast on keyboards - a shame that they parted...
This guy-whole catalog of what he's given the world music wise -Genius. Much Love to you Sir. TY
It appears that this song is the theme song for the coronavirus lockdown.
I'm rotting inside for some human contact
That was exactly my motivation in searching for this tune.
Corona had the touch for sure
Hidden Gem in deed , guy was and still is a genius
Still listening in 2018 ....they dont music like this anymore 😁
for
sure
dont need to.
2019, still this way🤔
2020
Peter Gabriel’s a Legend ✌🏾🇬🇧🏴🎹🎶🎵🥁🎹🎸
I love this song!!
My favorite as well 👍
gated reverb makes everything better
I love you Peter
The entire "Security" album was phenomenal. This video looks like the beginning was a film of the session that actually went on the album.
A good song that never hit the radiowaves here in the states. Pity, that.
Great job on a song that's very underrated!
Once again, brilliant, tac tac tac brilliant.
An amazing array of complex and superbly balanced sounds in typical Gabriel and associates style.
Never liked Peter Gabriel with Genesis but never missed a concert when he came around N.Y. and saw him about 50 times and what a great solo performer..
The best version. Childhood memories.
Who could give this video a thumbs down?? 7 people?? Great great song and great video.
They were searching for Peter Bagriel's "I am the douche."
Quite simply a musical genius
Nostalgic! This was back in the day when he had hair, was not morbidly obese and still made good music!
He still makes great music, plus I don't think he gives a damn about having some weight in his older age!
important words in our days
Such an incredible artist. The lyrics here are beyond
Love this man's music 🎶
Great song by a great artist. Loved that Peter championed world music very early on. I often wander if artists watch their TH-cam vids and read the comments.
jchopra I wonder the same thing. I guess maybe if they have time or just wondering what people have to comment about them
Always exemplary to hear Peter's creations and when this first came out I was amazed by the sonic texures Peter had created with the Linn Drum as well as Fairlight and live percussionists,this sog in particular.Thanks Peter,Tony,Jerry,David and David Lord as well for being the creative tech conduit to get this album in the shape it is.

Le changement de rythme de la batterie....juste génial !
Kind of funny that this is a rare song about the high social needs of rock stars and Peter sings it like a nerd with his hands in his pockets. It's awesome.
I pressed 999th like! Ha! Love you Peter
Love the futuristic track suits! Pete and crew went for a nice run after the show!
The tracksuits caught my eye too🤩
wow, one of the best gabriel videos i've ever seen!
Magnifique !
j 'adore
This is music slipping through a wormhole from a future we'll never know otherwise.
Peter gabriel eres el mejor... y tienes el toque te amo...me alegras cada vez que te escucho ... nadie mejor que tu...
Great song. And Larry Fast (Synergy) performed a lot of the amazing synthy stuff. There's quick shots of him programming in this clip.
Nicely put together.
Was performed live very well if recall !!!
Great video for a great song! I wish there was more video footage from Peter’s young days. Good work, thanks for sharing!
Superb music
Thank you!
Muy bueno Peter Gabriel. Como siempre.
Thank you from Brazil!
Ese sonido de la bateria es totalmente atemporal,que genio el que creo esos sonidos y el tema en una obra maestra.
Love this
Absolutely amazing 💗
great editing ! at firstI was sure this is some kind of official release. will search for the full movie. I also love the Rockpalast show from 1978 footage, wish I was born time to watch this live when it happened.
I love this song❤️

Giving voice and hope to dweebs since 1969.
Gabriel te amo....
I love this!
I love him
i love it
Questa l'avevo propio dimenticata ...non passa mai di moda.... Grazie... Ancora 😁
One word
BRILLIANT
Fantastic !
Could this classic Peter Gabriel hit from 1982, become the anthem for recovery from the pandemic in 2021?
Classic ❤ ❤ ❤ In my heart it's a Classic. "80's chick"
his best period by far
Cool montage, thank you for the work! Also, this is one of my favourite songs of Peter.
Used to blast this pretty loud back then, those drums drums drums!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this!!! Great video. Super cool!
This is incredible. Bravo!
This is awesome! Great cut!
Brilliant job! Thanks
Great work!!! Thanks for posting it!!
Fantastic. I will watch again and again. Thank you for sharing. (That sounds like George W. Bush: Short, declarative sentences.)
Brilliant job!!!

PG. The Sacred and Profane. Love the man.

Tony Levin without his mustache...haven't seen that before.
You should see him WITH hair...
It took me awhile to figure out who he was!
It is a fabulous 'Billiards Song'... A great politician's song... A great 'Holy Roller's Song'. great song, Peter! Shake those hands!
Friggin' genius to the core.
Very well done!
Levels just like everythubg else... any transformation... lite up.
One of my favorite albums from the very first listen! I like to think this song is from the point of view of an alien 👽 in the context of Close Encounter. and the "lay your hands on me" is from a human.
enigmatic

WOW! Thanks!!
GABE is on a level all by himself.

Seems timely in these times somehow...
LOve love love LOVE love love lOOOVE.

Sure is.
Yeah, but where IS the mustache?
