@@1990-t1j fair enough, but I do think Peter’s voice is still really good but maybe a notch lower now than in his younger years. I would have to hear him live I guess….doubt that will happen now tho ☹️ x
Musical footnote: I guess the first time they sang together was on the (quite brilliant) Phil Collins song "Take Me Home" in the mid-80's. (They sang backing vocals with - if memory serves me - Helen Terry.)
Who In there Right mind would give Sting such a platform to play on? Always knew, Peter & Sting would put on a great concert. Such a surprise. Now that's is what I call, a party song! 🎊
OK, I'll take the bait. No, it's not priceless. I share my recordings for the numerous people who couldn't or didn't attend the show(s), and for those who want to relive it. Why did you watch it?
I think you need to give Bob Ezrin some of the credit for that one. Apparantly Peter's original lyric was "make yourself a taxi not a tomb" or something like that. Sorry to read your comment though.
This was the first show I took my then 12 year-old to see. He's a pretty big Gabriel fan. Sting was great, but Peter is so different and for me more than really anyone else.
Sting is so happy for teleprompters... BUT, thank you so much for posting this. GREAT video. So glad I lived in the generation of Genesis, Pete, Phil, Tony, Mike, Steve, etc... Gifts from the Gods of the Universe.
Wow i actually flew from FL to DC to Watch this concert I was THERE!!!!!!!!!!! ,Was sitting stage right got to study Vinnie all night :) aside from watching 2 legends in music
2 Legends. 1 Stage. Saw this same tour in Denver. So many great songs and memories all in one incredible place! Loved that they sang duets of each others' songs too.
Memories of being in Bob Gaters artroom in 1980, studying for my art 'O' level. He let us have the radio on as we worked and this used to play regularly, along with his then current hit Games Without Frontiers. Great memories. RIP Mr Gater, you were a great teacher, thank you.
I saw RPS in Chicago and it was like none other having seen every live Gabriel tour since 1978. From the Uptown Theater to The Chicago Stadium with WOMAD in beween. All awesome....keep it up Pete
Thanks for sharing!!!...No matter how many times you hear it a great rock/pop song is STILL great!!!....of course Peter's band is always been top notch...I recognize Tony Levin (of course, the original bald guy in this troupe!) wearing the one piece jump suit from years ago....then Dominic Miller from Sting's band...Sting...and then is that David Rhodes on other bald guitar?...and who is drummer?....thanks again....
Thanks for the comments. Tony introduces everybody (with pictures) on this tour diary page: tonylevin.com/road-diaries/peter-gabriel-sting-2016-tour/washington-show
Does Tony Levin ever age? He looks exactly the same now as he did with King Crimson during _1981's!_ Discipline album. Oh and for those of you not in the know, Tony Levin is the bald gentleman with the mustache on bass guitar. He's been with Peter Gabriel from the beginning.
In the 70s, he was a tall, thin, young man with a shaved head. Now, 40 years later, he's a tall, thin middle-aged guy with a shaved head. His exterior is exactly the same. Amazing, really.
Incredible! You had much better seats then me, or just a better camera. XD. Fantastic concert, this is my favorite song, thanks for uploading this, was hoping someone did.
"Just give them the hits" Give them what they want. Fill seats. Thats why I would never go to a Sting concert. Peter Gabriel is in another Universe completely.......a true Soul Man.
Esta muy chingon, teniendo a estos máster en el escenario, a sting ya he tenido la oportunidad de verlo, Peter Gabriel me he quedado con las ganas, lastima de la calidad del video
You know how a song can be a reference point in your life? Well, my sister left for her freshman year of college the year this came out. She went to Marywood college in Scranton Pennsylvania (at the time, an all girl school). We went to pick her up for the holidays and she informed me that the school (Marywood) ...unbeknownst to her, was a complete lesbian retreat. She also told me that Solsbury Hill was like the lezbo anthem at Marywood. She didn't last there. That was my little Solsbury Hill lesbian story. Hope you liked it. ...hence Solsbury Hill will always be an anthem for lesbians in my mind.
a song belonging to the list of the best ever written!
“You can’t write a song in 7/4”
Gabriel “hold my beer”
PGs voice is absolutely timeless.
You know you're a legend... When a legend wants to sing your song.
I must say, Sting's voice fits this song VERY well indeed.
This is still one of my favorite songs ever. It made my heart go boom, boom, to see everyone on stage enjoying the hell out of themselves.
LOVE THIS JAM. GREAT SONG. NEVER GETS OLD
I’ve been addicted to this song since the 80’s. I can quit anytime.
Betcha can't :-)))
You know the line -
Had to listen, I had no choice!
Gabriel's voice is something of beauty
It used to be.
@@1990-t1j still is or tell us why YOU think differently to everyone one else?
@@jakkibreeze7982 I don't think differently. Just an acknowledgement that voices don't last.
@@1990-t1j fair enough, but I do think Peter’s voice is still really good but maybe a notch lower now than in his younger years. I would have to hear him live I guess….doubt that will happen now tho ☹️ x
@@jakkibreeze7982 you might do.. he is in the final stages of a new album, ‘might’ be out in 2022
Peter Gabriel is amazing.. I never get tired of hearing that lovely voice!
immer noch eins der besten live- stücke
Wow two great musicians singing together, Sting and Peter Gabriel, this is not something you see everyday, this is awesome!!
Musical footnote: I guess the first time they sang together was on the (quite brilliant) Phil Collins song "Take Me Home" in the mid-80's. (They sang backing vocals with - if memory serves me - Helen Terry.)
@@jaolin6042 well played. 🎶🎶🎶💯
Sting looks so much older now, still amazing though!
You can keep my things, they've come to take me home 💗
Brings a smile to my face.
Wow, Sting's voice suits it well.
{:-:}
Who In there Right mind would give Sting such a platform to play on?
Always knew, Peter & Sting would put on a great concert. Such a surprise.
Now that's is what I call, a party song! 🎊
3:12 that silly contagious joggle of pure joy and happiness. Only Gabriel can make you feel that way.
I guess it's priceless to have a self-made recording like this... ;--)
OK, I'll take the bait. No, it's not priceless.
I share my recordings for the numerous people who couldn't or didn't attend the show(s), and for those who want to relive it. Why did you watch it?
Peter Gabriel's music has a timeless quality, no wonder 'Solsbury Hill' is a timeless classic!!
"Grab your things son. I've come to take you home." God telling my son on March 25, 2018 it was time.
I think you need to give Bob Ezrin some of the credit for that one. Apparantly Peter's original lyric was "make yourself a taxi not a tomb" or something like that. Sorry to read your comment though.
I just put my son to bed and this hit me. God bless you.
I used this song at my husbands funeral as well.
My son went home Dec. 29, 2019
😪
This is the fifth time I've listened to this song from different vids today. Looking forward to the sixth...
This was the first show I took my then 12 year-old to see. He's a pretty big Gabriel fan. Sting was great, but Peter is so different and for me more than really anyone else.
I always considered this a favorite of mine. Grew up with this song.
That's just such good fun! I'm still smiling 😀
Sting is so happy for teleprompters...
BUT, thank you so much for posting this. GREAT video. So glad I lived in the generation of Genesis, Pete, Phil, Tony, Mike, Steve, etc... Gifts from the Gods of the Universe.
Teleprompter, bollocks, where was it dummy.
peter still sounds fantastic
Wow i actually flew from FL to DC to Watch this concert I was THERE!!!!!!!!!!! ,Was sitting stage right got to study Vinnie all night :) aside from watching 2 legends in music
I flew from Atlanta. I learned a long time ago not to ever miss a Peter Gabriel tour!
this is flippin fantastic! a slice of heaven!
Absolutely fabulous.
2 Legends. 1 Stage. Saw this same tour in Denver. So many great songs and memories all in one incredible place! Loved that they sang duets of each others' songs too.
2 British geniuses. Seen Sting live with the Police totally brilliant live. PG up there with the best, such an uplifting song.
Saw this tour in Columbus, OH. Amazing talent. Peter is such an incredible artist and wonderful human being.
Too bad I missed this tour. I'm a fan of both Sting/Police and Peter Gabriel. I did see them both at a festival eons ago though.
Great match!!
The best music has been written a long time ago.
Two fantasticuloustic voices together on my favorite song, is this heaven?
Memories of being in Bob Gaters artroom in 1980, studying for my art 'O' level.
He let us have the radio on as we worked and this used to play regularly, along with his then current hit Games Without Frontiers.
Great memories.
RIP Mr Gater, you were a great teacher, thank you.
That was a great show.
pete sounds amazing
What a damn fkn awesome inmortal beautiful powerful song!
my two favorite heroes.
I love you PG.
Still a badass after all these years! 2018
My music ...Since 40 years....!
Awesome! Thank you for posting this!
Thank you for posting this. I'd love to see him in concert.
Would've been awesome to catch this tour, sounded great and looked like fun.
One the great songs of all time. never gets old.
Very beautiful song.
What a star - and, I mean like the kind in the cosmos.
Wow. I never knew Peter Gabriel and Sting collaborated on this song.
Was für ein Konzerterlebnis
Just great. What a Performance. The 38 Dislikers should make a Therapie
I saw RPS in Chicago and it was like none other having seen every live Gabriel tour since 1978. From the Uptown Theater to The Chicago Stadium with WOMAD in beween.
All awesome....keep it up Pete
Wonderful.....
❤️❤️❤️ Love these two!
Went there when they came!
MAGNIFICO PETER AND GORDON
Oh Yeaaah!!!! Love Them! ))))
JUNE. 2017 Still Watching Love This Song 💕 🎵🎵
Imagine have to bass legends on stage with you. Tony Levin and Sting.
Thanks for sharing!!!...No matter how many times you hear it a great rock/pop song is STILL great!!!....of course Peter's band is always been top notch...I recognize Tony Levin (of course, the original bald guy in this troupe!) wearing the one piece jump suit from years ago....then Dominic Miller from Sting's band...Sting...and then is that David Rhodes on other bald guitar?...and who is drummer?....thanks again....

Vinnie Colaiuta
Actually, Vinnie Colaiuta is not playing on this song. The drummer is Ged Lynch from Team Gabriel. :)
Correct, my mistake.
@@vicfra64 Vinnie or Manu would've been great (and better) and in this case Manu (having worked with Peter & Sting)!....
a fantastic couple
execlent verison
I'm in the DC area. You did a fabulous job getting this video inside Verizon Center.
This is sooooo cool!
Immortals !!!
Glorious.
Maravilhosos!
YES😀😀
Sensacional maravilhoso.

If you look up Peter Gabriel's 1978 live concert, Levin hasn't changed a bit, poor Peter sure has though.
In the 70s, he was a tall, thin, young man with a shaved head. Now, 40 years later, he's a tall, thin middle-aged guy with a shaved head. His exterior is exactly the same. Amazing, really.
Man believe me, take a close look. He has aged (as natural)!...
I know who Tony Levin is, but I don't see a mustache on his bass guitar... :P
And he's FAN-TAS-TIC!
Incredible! You had much better seats then me, or just a better camera. XD.
Fantastic concert, this is my favorite song, thanks for uploading this, was hoping someone did.
Wish I was there...
"Just give them the hits" Give them what they want. Fill seats. Thats why I would never go to a Sting concert. Peter Gabriel is in another Universe completely.......a true Soul Man.
THIS IS MUSIC!
Manu Katché would've been the drummer for this tour (working with Peter & Sting)!....
Canta muito parabéns.
Love Pete
Oooooh Tony Levin!! stills wants to rock out 40 years later!
Great song when I was 20......Nearly 45 years later and I'm wise to the B.S.
I can’t believe they didn’t get Manu Katche to do this tour and play the full show.
Almost 21:45/ Saturday , May the 20th
Great
Hurry up and play the UK!
I wish he would do a tour in 2019
Little Solsbury Hill, County of Somerset, England.
Top musicians
Ged Lynch absolutely nails this song on the drums.
They played near me (Chicago). I wish I had the money to see them. :(
Esta muy chingon, teniendo a estos máster en el escenario, a sting ya he tenido la oportunidad de verlo, Peter Gabriel me he quedado con las ganas, lastima de la calidad del video
Pete is GOD XXXXXXX
Liberty she pirouette whenever I think that I am free...
there is no voice like Gabriel! !!
Peter gabriel e sting ....... che dire
ok but honestly no comparison guys. gabriel just another world
