Will never forget Oct.20,1978. Gabriel's tour supporting his first album after leaving Genesis. Front row center with Steve Zuidema and Brad Hayoz. Gabriel finishes his encore and leaves the stage. The three of us along with a smidgen of others continued to cheer and clap 20 minutes after house lights come on. With the bouncers threatening to remove us physically. Gabriel steps out of the wings to the front of the stage, directly in front of us. Takes a shallow bow towards us, and says "This is for you". Sits down at the Grand Piano and plays 'Here Comes the Flood' solo....💜
This is one of the best comments I have ever read on YT - Thank you.
Great story. I saw Gabriel's concert in Cardiff, Wales in the same year. No special performance for us. I guess we gave up too soon. Gabriel often had something unexpected up his sleeve. Amazing.
I wish I was there with you...
@@krysb4725 Easily one of my most cherished memories from a live performer.
And the next tour, after the second album, he played UCLA's Grand Ackerman ballroom. After the encore, the lights came on and everyone left but maybe fifty people. Roadies unplugging the equipment. Lights on. Stupid people yelling "More More More". As if Gabriel was going to come out because 50 idiots wouldn't leave. Yes, he came out. In a black leather biker jacket circa 1974. And played a song on the piano. The name of the song: "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway." Glad I was 19 years old and dumb enough to stay after the show.
My favourite musical genius of all times
HEY YOUNG PEOPLE...LISTEN TO THIS MAN...
The best one ever!
I was listening to Selling England by the Pound in the late 90's, when everyone else was listening to Koяn....
I am ok!?!? 😂
utterly stunning, one of the best songs ever written
You're wrong - it's the best song ever written 🙂
How about it's a wonderful song. There are so many wonderful songs if you have time to listen. I like to think of music as an art and not a sporting event.
I can't think of a thing this man has done that isn't brilliant.
leaving Genesis?
I don't know if he would have written a lot of what he did after he left, some of which is brilliant. Genesis did some good work after he left, but he was clearly going in a different direction.
Genesis had an Exodus and Lefiticus with a few Numbers of Dude-rotomy.
Ok. ya that was lame.
Genesis was crap after he left!!!
I can think of many - Out Out, I'm Amazing (ugh!), the tour with Sting (UGH!!!), the endless delay of the new album - but leaving Genesis is not one of them
If I were in that audience, I'd be a sobbing, incoherent mess. Favorite PG song ever. Love. Love.
This song works the best with only piano. I saw him live playing it like this. Breathtaking!
Cher Peter, j'ai choisi si peu de monde, qui m'accompagnent depuis si longtemps, dans cette vie. Il y a toi. Merci, tu es comme un frère avec lequel je chante.
One of the greatest musicians of our time. Long life to him.
For me, a version of this masterpiece that strikes home like no other. Getting older, it’s a different kind of special.
Meraviglioso, anche più di prima. Sempre.
La sua voce è uno strumento aggiunto nella musica...
There are so many people that haven't discovered Peter's work with early Genesis. He is truly a wonderful musician with an amazing voice.
He’s the greatest, simple. His entire band. Everything he’s ever done. Along with those he’s performed with.

The best live performance ever by him. Honest, intimate, raw, right down to the core. Just a man and his piano. So very moving, powerful and beautiful. This is my favorite song of Peter's to begin with, but this more mature live performance now takes it right over the top for me. Artistry at its finest here :-)

Glad you enjoyed as much as I did! There are no more words to describe the raw beauty of this one!
yea
Fantastic, without a doubt. But the version of Kate Bush's Christmas Show is on par: th-cam.com/video/ohOEu9R-v0c/w-d-xo.htmlm27s
Jackie Perks - Classical Jams Piano I agree with every word.......an already stunning song broken down to the basics and performed to perfection.
This version of "Here Comes the Flood" is on Robert Fripp's 1979 album "Exposure". Peter Gabriel still performs it (not Robert Fripp) & it's always been my favorite version of this song. It's even better to hear tracks 14, 15, & 16 of that album together because they tie in to the song & are an awesome artistic statement on climate change.
I've come back to this video several times now. Peter's performance here is so beautiful and devastatingly raw in a way that always makes me cry. Recently as I've achieved Remission from Cancer (Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma), I've found so much of what he's recorded over the years to resonate with my emotions. I'm grateful for his music.
If I could pick one person to have dinner with, I'd pick Peter Gabriel. After all of these years, he's still my favorite singer and songwriter. I was lucky to see him twice (Security and So tours) and he was amazing... just like he is here.
He's on my list as well but mine is more of a "hang out with" list.
Goddamn this is one of my favourite songs ever. The writing is like nothing we hear these days
Sweet Jesus. He’s better than ever..
My all time favourite song and singer, that voice could melt solid stone ❤️
English Progressive Rock was an explosion of creativity, and it's fascinating to listen to how its small community of performers moved on after the subgenre began to fade from public approval after 1975. Gabriel found a simpler, but sophisticated style that gave him plenty of room for artistic expression but retained his mass audience. His was one of the more successful transitions.
Peter is awesome. This song always bring tears to my eyes
This guy's voice is just incredible. Every bit as good as it was back in the days of Supper's Ready!
Listened to it over and over again at the age of 13 in my parents' car, somewhere in the south of France during a holiday with my dysfunctional family, totally lost and depressed about life itself. Did barely understand the lyrics at that time, but that didn't matter.
Gabriel has a unique voice that arrives directly to every heart in a moment... expecially when he sings only with a piano
Meravigliosa. Sublime. Grande Peter!!! ❤
Age has not blunted his massive talent.
I am 51 now. my favourite track since I first heard PG at seventeen. Love it. stops me in my tracks every time I listen to it
My favourite song ever. Peter's voice has aged so well and it sounds better with the gravitas of age
Right there with you - from Early 70's Genesis to solo to decades later, his music is one of my internal pleasures that's followed me for 45 years or so... thankfully, as it is healing in many ways.
I'm 10years older and feel just the same. I saw him on the first four after leaving genesis. He done this from the 1st album and it was the stripped down version. Leicester De Montfort Hall. I came away so angry that I never see him with genesis. I got my chance some years later at a reunion no bowl. A genuis
@@johncollectsstamps me too
My english master of music since a long time .... Love him ...
Immer noch eines der schönsten Lieder, die je gesungen wurden.
tout ma jeunesse tant d emotion a reecouter ce morceau tant ecouté des nuits entiere
Jesus ! He can still hit those high notes!
I love this song so much.
Best rock singer all time
here´s music from bottom of heart
I wonder how many people in the audience really understood and appreciated the gift they just received.
Like Like Like. I've been a fan of Peter Gabriel for years, since I was a kid. To this day its still a thrill to hear his vocal range on top of his talent
J’adore !!!!!!!!
It's rare to find such great storytelling in music. A wonderful rendition of a wonderful song.
Genesis has never ever been the same without this genius ...
i have not many words for this beautiful music,,,
Like fine wine... His voice has mellowed while gaining complexity in the lower midrange...
Peter is an artist, who gathers, what he finds.
Still beautiful, still devastating in its simplicity. Dammit. Got something in my eye again.
He's like the wine: it gets better year by year.
Absolutly beautiful.
I've heard Peter talk about the dream he once had that inspired this song. I suppose to each of us this song has a different meaning. And that's fine I suppose. To me, I always felt it was about the grieving process. I got the news recently that my eleven year old grandson, and 6 month old grand-daughter will be moving 1500 miles away in June. Words cannot express the pain I am feeling in my heart. My only solice comes from knowing that my troubles are trivial when compared with the great suffering that is going on in other places in the world today. I will miss them.
He has the most soulful voice, and his songwriting has always been genius. I've been a fan since Foxtrot came out.
You need to go back and listen to Trespass and Nursery Cryme! Then again you probably already have, so never mind!
@@ljgittingeriii3199 Thanks for the rush to judgement, but I was listening to those records in the 70s, too. I just didn't discover Genesis until after Trespass (and From Genesis to Revelation) were released. So maybe stop being such an asshole.
I was agreeing with you until I read your graceless response to LJ below. Whatever, PG is great to listen to, and I too found him because of Foxtrot.
Supper’s Ready is beyond brilliant megasong . As is the whole Lamb Lies Down on Broadway album
@@Rainbow-yh6ov to my mind the name "Gabriel" never seemed more appropriate than when I first heard the end of Supper's Ready. Hair still stands up on the back of my neck wherever I hear it.
Genius. His talent and voice, unlike some other aging Rock-Stars, still gives me tingles.
When we were driving back from our holiday earlier this year in June, this was playing on BBC Radio 2 at 3am. My parents were talking and laughing, my brother was sound asleep, and I had not realized how much I'd missed Norfolk. The stars were out, and the moon was full. Ir was a night I never do hope that I forget.
Wow! He's like a modern day monk that has realized the truth behind suffering, tuned his instrument, and attained that look of a long staring wayfarer. When I first heard this song it resonated deeply within; and now, with Gabriel's growing tranquility the song carries beyond... beyond the deed within.
Peter gets old but this song still young and alive to me...
I've been to Guitar Centers I don't know how many times, never run into Peter Gabriel playing a piano in any of them.
Happy 70th Birthday, Peter! Fantastic performance of one of your finest compositions.
He is a freaking Nostradamus. He saw what the future was going to be 40 years ago, today there is no point in direction because you can not chose a side if it veers anyway off of the popular one.
God gave him a true gift, and ability to spread The Light. :)
Here comes the flood... The threat of that giant cup?! Be it water, coffee, tip jar...whatever - I hope they filled it high. What a fantastic performance! Gabriel's work is incomparable.
The best rendition of this song. Close your eyes and be transported.
Best version of this song. Subdued, quiet and powerful. Masterpiece!
PG = Pure Genius ... A fan once told him ... "Peter, you are God" ... His response ... "No. But I know him personally" ... !!!!
this man is the most brilliant musician alive, no doubt. He had been always two steps ahead of everyone, contemporary music owes so much to this incredible man, a real artist.
Peter Gabriel good memories i cry now listen to his music i grow up to his music 80s music was the best to me i am 44 years old
I was 33 when he first sang this to me....Double my years - double the importance and poignancy of these lyrics in our pandemic....timeless beauty
That song had and will always send shivers down my spine... Thanks Peter for that gem!
Such a wonderful sound to Peter voice on this song. Magical
My favorite of his solo work. 45 years old and it's better every time I hear it. I still listen to this song all the time. Just love it. Its a masterpeice.
Beautiful and brilliant and heartbreaking and raw. Love, love, love. Thank you, Mr. Gabriel. Your talent, voice, music, heart, and humanity change the world daily. ❤
Chills. One of my favourite but unsung songs.
Que dire de plus à part que Peter Gabriel est un immense artiste... merci
what an awesome piano-version! my respect, "sir" peter gabriel!
Beautiful song.
He is always revelant. I absolutely love him. He is the best.
This voice gives me chills... soo special, love it!
One of the best authors and musicians in the music golden era. Thank you from Argentina.
I must be 40 years old, to see my first-Gabriel concert. I was so incredibly packed by the aura of this man. Thank you. For songs like this.
Juste sublime ! Peter est immense
The Piano always cry. The simplicity of This song is the epitome of my empty wasted mistake of an existence. Hurts to hear it but it speaks when I can’t.
I'm sure your existence wasn't either a waste or a mistake, though I agree that the sentiment in the song can make one's existence feel very insignificant in the grand scheme of life. Peace.
Beautiful. Gives me shivers.
Wow. Just freaking amazing performance. Thank you Peter
My favorite rendition so far from him of The Flood. This song just grabs me and comes to life.
I love this performance particularly
We all know this man is about as raw and genuine as you can find on this Earth. Straight up? This song was written at least 36 years previously and he means every word like it's coming right out right now. Why would we listen to something that wasn't? He just won't let me be nostalgic. Thanks Pete -- love love love !!!
Definitely the best version I've heard!
One of the most beautiful songs of my lifetime, thank you GC for sharing this!
One of my very favorite Peter Gabriel songs... Well one of my very favorite songs period!! This is wonderful!!
Tears...tears of sheer joy. Thank you, old friend.
listening to Peter's Music always make me feel so good and the smile on my face always appears automatically!
Thank you!
Wonderous atmosphere, impeccable talent.
Einer der absolut Größten seit vielen Jahrzehnten, was für ein wundervoller Künstler!
Danke Peter!
Such a great performance, this gives me goosebumps every time I hear it
unplugged this song has such a Lamb Lies down On Broadway feel to it.
wrote in about the same time period, probably why
What power this song has, it's unbelievable. I'm in tears, off course..
that voice of yours is always a delight to hear! Thank you Peter for all the music I love you, you're my favorite dreamer!
Peter is a gift from the Universe
Seriously: how the fuck can one dislike *this*?
So elegantly simple, beautiful and moving!
I can only thank Mr Gabriel for what he makes me experience. Thank you again, M Gabriel...
I remember hearing this 12 years ago for the first time. It gave me chills. It still takes my breath away.
This is an amazing and beautiful song. I fell in love with this back in high school during my senior year. One of the most poetic songs ever written, his emotion is as solid and genuine as any I've ever heard. Thank you Mr Gabriel.
G'damn! Can't believe how stunning he is ....still! Some people need to live forever!
Wow. As the goosebumps waxed and wained, I thought how lucky the members of that intimate audience were :)
Legend!
Absolutely Beautiful! Possibly my favorite song of his.
Masterpiece
