My memory of this song is bittersweet. I requested it of the local FM radio station at 5:30 a.m. on the morning I was to be married later in the day. They granted my request gladly. The wedding went on as planned; a beautiful day ! About 3 years later, my husband fell ill, and after a very long struggle and bouts of mental illness, died in his sleep. That was 30 years ago. To this day, I still weep when I hear this , but with a smile, knowing how much my mind was opened . No matter the pain, it is the journey that teaches us; not the destination.
Saw their performance september 8, in Québec city and it was a MYSTICAL EXPERIENCE... Nothing less... The Master is back!!! Love you, Peter. Om Namah Shivaya.
You and your music will always be close to my heart ❤. I wish one day I'll be able to hear those amazing vocals in person. Thank you for 30 plus years of wonderful music 🎉
Hey Steve!! You must have literally been sitting next to me there 😂👍. Great seat tickets albeit not cheap 😮. Loved the gig, Peter & co. still sounding fab 👌. Until the next tour 😁🎹🎶💥🍻....
Ha. That’s great. It was a wonderful night. Thanks for the comment (as long as you weren’t the guy in the seat in front constantly texting on his phone in light mode for the first few songs … until I had a word 😅. I’m sure you weren’t. You sound like a true fan!). Cheers.
Was it a small venue, or you just had great seats? I see Mr Tony Levin is there on bass too! Manu Katche and David Rose. Wow. And all the others. Thank you for recording it.
Thank you for posting this. While I enjoyed it, I couldn't help but feel there was something lacking. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but I just knew that I didn't feel the goosebumps and excitement that I usually get when I listen to this song. Was it the drums that were following instead of leading the rhythm section (dare I say dragging?)? Was it the lack of dynamics (poor sound engineering)? Was it the dead patches in between the lyrics? Was it the lack of theatrics that PG has been known for? While it's cool to see PG out there performing again, it makes me sad to see that he's not surrounded by vibrant musicians to lift him up and carry him. It also makes me sad to see such a mundane set design. The PG of old - the showman - would never had tolerated this. After watching this I needed my real PG fix so I found the following video of live PG from the 1990's which did in fact give me goosebumps: th-cam.com/video/evN6DIGPIJM/w-d-xo.html
To start the audio is much better on the other video. Besides that, there is definitely more energy on the earlier recording, more talent and more instrument variety. But even PG doesn't have the same energy or sound, but I guess that's the difference between being 32 and 72. Although for 72 he's doing ok unlike say Bon Jovi whose voice is shot.
I agree too. He could've been singing from his couch and it would've had the same effect on me. This was just so bland n truthfully boring. Energy n enthusiasm was missing.
She is Ayanna Witter-Johnson, the cello player. She also sang the Kate Bush part on “Don’t Give Up” superbly. I’m sure you can find in on TH-cam somewhere. I was too wrapped up in the moment to do any more filming. This is all I took.

Aw. What a sad, and also beautiful, story Harriet. Good vibes to you wherever you are in the world x

Love and music are the eternal Gifts from Christ to all of us.
You have added a new and personal perspective to this song for us all. Life is so precious❣️🙏

Whenever I watch one of Peter’s live performances, I never know who’s enjoying it more: the audience, or Peter and his band
I love this song. Fortunatly he can't jump here and there anymore. He sings with his poetic voice and That ir all I want.
Saw their performance september 8, in Québec city and it was a MYSTICAL EXPERIENCE...
Nothing less...
The Master is back!!!
Love you, Peter.
Om Namah Shivaya.
I'd bawl my eyes out if I was there. Most beautiful song.
Listen to many versions of this over many many years, cry each time.
Seen him 40 years ago just love his music
Best concert of my life is still the night I caught Peter on “The Secret World” tour in 1994 in Worcester Mass. It was a magical night
Was there too. Life altering.
@@CTProfessor61 Sweet! Can we go back? 🤓
The same for me in 1993 on the same tour: The finest concert experience of my life.
Toujours cette voix magnifique. Grand Monsieur pour avoir défendu les droits de l'homme. Un plaisir toujours qui me transcende
This is just beautiful. Peter and his band sound amazing.
You and your music will always be close to my heart ❤. I wish one day I'll be able to hear those amazing vocals in person. Thank you for 30 plus years of wonderful music 🎉

@Steve-tm2uz Noooo... t'was not me, that sort of thing winds my up at a gig or theatre! 😁

I've been to O2 Arena and it's pretty huge. So yeah I'd say these are good seats.
Not Youssou N’door?

I agree the video you showed was much better with less carrying on from the drummer not as much energy in the other video

Thanks for this record and sharing with us!! ❣💞❣💞❣💞
Who is this wonderful woman vocal? :)
She is Ayanna Witter-Johnson, the cello player. She also sang the Kate Bush part on “Don’t Give Up” superbly. I’m sure you can find in on TH-cam somewhere. I was too wrapped up in the moment to do any more filming. This is all I took.

@@Steve-tm2uz Thanks for your response and this wonderful info! :)
Wow she is magnificent!
Peter Gabriel also uses this type of clock on the current tour as countdown to the concert.
