    “Melt” and Security for me are the quintessential Peter Gabriel albums in terms of the music itself. “San Jacinto” is the most haunting song I have personally ever heard, especially the ending section. It still makes my hair stand up. I remember being afraid to listen to it as a kid. But now I love it and appreciate it. Nothing I’ve ever heard sounds like that. Nothing.

    • @greg-warsaw4708
      @greg-warsaw4708 6 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Let's call it IV, not Security. The latter is senseless and unrelated to the artist: it was the label's demand to give a title, and only in America where labels tend to be stupid (demanding from bands a different cover, a different song title etc. due to moron correctness reasons), and the title is not relevant to music in any way. To me, it was I, II, III, IV, then So etc.

    I was lucky enough to see Peter on the final night of his European tour in Dublin to say it was the greatest concert I have ever seen is an understatement everything was mind-blowing the concept of the gig was amazing the Band was in top form, the split screens, the featured artists, the sound, the visuals I could go on and on he played for nearly 3 hours this is a man of 73 he would put to shame most bands out there this gig was an experience and his voice can't believe he still has it after all these years and singing most of those songs in the original keys he sang them when he was a much younger man. Amazing

    For those who can't watch the entire video, please skip ahead and listen to the last five minutes. You'll get to hear Warren talking about what makes music great. "Great art has to be great art on all levels... Great songs, great performances, the right production ... but I also want lyrics that mean something, and that kick down doors and break down barriers." It's that emotional impact that moves a piece of music from good to great.

    Whoa... Where do I start.... I bought Solsbury Hill when it came out when I was still at school and saw Gabriel at the Reading Festival in 79 (with Phil Collins... even Steve Hackett was there performing, but sadly didn't join Gabriel on stage). Gabriel sang this odd song based around a drum beat that eventually became Biko (the audio is on TH-cam)
    Since then, I've bought all the albums, played them to death. Tracks like San Jacinto, Signal to Noise and so many others are part of my life, but Solsbury Hill still takes me back to being a schoolboy walking up One Tree Hill and playing the song on my portable cassette player, the sun was shining and the future looked great.
    Now, I am so so happy to have tickets and will go with my son to see the I/O tour... I never thought my son would get the opportunity to see him play live. Very happy. 😊

That said, Fish was and remains the best author of lyrics to me.

    I can absult agree with your last sentences about Peter. He is one of the famous musicians/ artists in Pop culture. Yes, there are plenty unique or good or exceptional ones, but he is a combined character to many arts and a real explorer and always a way of a head thinker. His music, accompanied me since I was 13 yrs. old , 1977 his album Car and Solsbruy hill take into music. I was never a Genesis fan, so i can only think of him as a solo artist. In 1980, I was lucky and 16 yrs. old, I have the pleasure to visit one of his live shows with the Melt album, and this blow me away. So unuseral music and sound. It is one of my beloves albums ever. And it still is. 3 years ago, I was able to own this on a CD, it was not possible to get before here in Germany. Than the So Album came out in 1986, which catapult him into the Pop heaven or Olmyp. I have seen many live shows of him in the 80ties and 90ties and these were always a benchmerk for all other live shows that I have seen. I am sorry to say: There is and was no other competion in his class. Today i am afraid to go the shows, to aviod to be frustrated, so many good memories and impressiv moment that they can´t be brought back. And the high pricing of tickets and too big halls, which makes me feel that i am happy to have seen hi in in his best phases and i do not believe that the can be brought back.

    @Produce Like A Pro. Brilliant work on this video Warren! For me - watching your work on this upload, the two words "Thank You" are just not enough sir. Peter Gabriel is such a unique man in all of the things he does. And you went to great lengths to show us all of the kit that was used to make the recordings. Perfect for a tech nerd like me.
    Hope I haven't missed this in your video but here goes. I bought Peter's album "So" on CD when it was first released in 1986 (?). I remember reading lots of reviews in the music press and one writer offered a "theory" as to why the album title. Peter's previous solo albums became widely known by the cover art. The reviewer wrote that maybe Peter had the idea of:
    Album 1 aka "Car" = Do
    Album 2 aka "Scratch" = Re
    Album 3 aka "Melt" = Mi
    Album 4 aka "Security" = Fah
    Album 5 = So.
    That was a good theory. But soon fell down when Peter's next album was titled "Up"!
    To me, Peter Gabriel is a sonic pioneer. He has no fear about going where other musicians would not venture. Once again, many thanks for this. Good work. I look forward to more in your "Artists Who Changed Music" series. You and yours stay safe and well.

    In 1986, I picked up my first hifi separate, a Technics RS B11W double tape deck. I was 15, I saved up my paperboy money for 1 year to buy it 2nd hand from my local Panasonic dealer. That was all my money at the time (£90) and I had no idea of 2nd hand newspapers etc back then and obviously, no internet and my great weakness of the last 20 years, ebay. As such, I was skint and had no money for an amp and speakers, so I was using my Dads 1970s Sony headphones with volume controls built in and was begging and borrowing music. At the time of course, Peter Gabriel had Sledgehammer out and was in my local library looking for music of interest, and discovered 'So'. I took it home and listened and it blew me away, REALLY blew me away (again bearing in mind I was 15, and was just discovering a lot of music for the first time), having that level of sound quality to really hear the album changed everything. In the now nearly 40 years since, a lot of favourites have come and gone, but Peters' music has stayed absolute; that gravelly ear grabbing voice, the always unique, ever changing and innovative sounds that appear in the next songs produced, it never seems to end. I have been lazy in recent years, music is so easy to access now, so your video today was a Godsend, it literally just appeared on my youtube feed. I became a Dad in 2003, so since then I have just been working and not been paying much serious attention to music, so your video revealed a shocking back catalogue, the last album of Peters I bought was 'Us' (funnily enough Steam attracted me to that, not very individual but who cares, its brilliant), I had no idea I was so far behind on how much music he has produced since. And I agree RE Melt, although SO was a revelation for me, I did love Games Without Frontiers as a kid, although then it was a captivating song with an equally captivating video. Thank you for making this, I have a lot of listening to do. Cheers. Graham. :)

SKA got us dancing but Gabriel kept us company when we needed to be alone. When you could let his words give your imagination flight, just like Birdy.
    1983, 15 yr old kid I got plopped down general admission had never been to a concert did not know Gabriel at all. Show date had changed so my older brother gave me his ticket as he was flying back to the UK on a trip. I don't remember any of it. All I remember is an absolute sense of wonder as he was handed over my head during Lay Your Hands on Me. For lack of a better term I think I was imprinted on like a baby bird that day. He's not just been my music friend in the worst of times but in the best and he has always been a moral leader to follow. His compassion taught me compassion.
    As a musician, to hear his process and relate is really wonderful for me personally.
    Thankyou so much for putting all of this work into this great video. The gear lists, the archive video and your summary, I was cheering you on.

    Thank you so much for this incredibly extensive documentary on one of my favourite musicians. As a 23-year old, I remember being obsessed with Peter’s videos on a VHS my parents had. Nowadays Peter is the sound of my infancy, and as years went by, I came to realise how much of an artist he is! This video on the other hand, really helps put in context how amazing Gabriel is, so thank you very much for doing it!

    I grew up adoring The Beatles, but as a solo artist, Peter blew my mind way before David Bowie did. It was around 1981-82 when I was barely 8 years old. A friend of my brother lend us Scratch and that album opened a new world for me. I knew instantly that it was a patchy recording, but just the artistry and the songwriting was enough to make an indelible mark and turn me into a fan of Peter, my real first hero outside The Bealtes Paul and John.
    Then again, when a radio station broadcasted So several days before its release I knew I was in presence of something thats never been done before, and I was right.
    Its true, his procrastination has been a problem, and that has made me to look after Steve Hackett's astonishing solo career that continues to this day too delivering good work after another.
    With every new Peter album after So, he tried to recapture the pop success with songsvlike Steam and Barry Williams Show which I found unnecessary, but each new album always brought something to be amazed of, although with diminishing returns,and i/o seem to be a proof of that.
    I will enjoy the album despite not quite feeling the recently released songs.
    Its better to have a new Gabriel album than none, right?

    then So ...
    i had the privilege of assisting the recording of the last tour date in Montreal, 20 years ago (!)
    He is a true artist; no formula , no recipe , no convention ...

    When I served in the german military, there was a special day when we took our oath and our families were invited. For that occasion all the squads prepared something for the guests, my squad did a fashion show presenting every possible uniform and combination of uniform parts. Together with two other guys my job was to present the old style green uniforms. The two dudes didn't care about the music, so I picked Gabriel's "Kiss That Frog". When our Hauptmann came to see our show, he stood there and laughed about that choice. Nobody else got the joke.

We used it on my first (ahem) "album". I also have a software version of the Fairlight and Synclavier and many other old school synths.

    Thanks for this Warren. One thing you didn't overtly discuss is the contrast between what Gabriel has CREATED with the huge amount of money his records have made, compared to other similarly successful artists. The breadth and depth of these CREATIONS - from the Real World studios, to WOMAD, to multiple charities - any single one of which would be worthy of huge respect - is simply staggering. I understand why you wouldn't discuss this, it's really hard to do without being negative and drawing very unflattering comparisons, but it is why Gabriel has very few peers in the 'decent human being' stakes!

    I remember in early 1974, at a friend's house, when I heard Peter's voice in the intro of Selling England by the Pound. I felt shivers running down my spine . Before the rest of the band started playing their parts, I rushed out of my friend's house and went to buy the album. Since that day, I had become a Genesis addict. I have all of their albums ( and Gabriel's solo ones ). ♥♥♥

    I was eleven years old when Sledgehammer hit MTV and melted my mind. I loved the music, the video was amazing, I'd never seen anything like it before, and I was hooked from then on. PG is an artist that rewards life experience and maturity; now that I'm middle-aged I can appreciate the technical artistry and his poetry on a much deeper level. When he dies I'll be as heartbroken as I was when David Bowie left us but, like Bowie, we'll be blessed to have such a huge history of music to continue enjoy. What a legacy he has left.

    And I swear the more I learn about Gabriel and his forensic perfectionism and 'slow' work speed, stuff like that allows me to relax and breathe a little bit easier about my own nature when it comes to getting things 'how I want them." Thanks so much for this Warren.
