Anyone in 2024?
yes, June 17
Yes that s me June 27 2024 and Peter is GREAT❤❤❤
Me bro. Right now.
Ye
Yep
A perfect mix of 7/4 and 4/4 rhythm. Difficult to play, extremely creative to write it. A huge compliment to all musicians, and the biggest praise goes to Peter.
One of my all-time favorites.
I remember climbing Solsbury Hill above Batheaston. I was 8 years old in 1975 and it was a special place then. I was sent to boarding school locally at 7 years old and this was a place to escape when on half term break. I'll soon be home' means a lot.
He looks like a kid! Great this video is available, God bless the internet. Top 50 song of all time.
46 YEARS AGO HE WAS 30 YEARS OLD.
God this is beautiful. 40 years later and it's still absolute perfection.
Ditto, a reminder of times so full of fun, laughter and promise - now seemingly locked away. But not for us, those that can recall and recant such lyrical masterpieces. Watch with a tear in your eye, but be proud, be happy.
The bloke is a genius
One of the very top shelf guitar teachers on YT (Shut Up & Play) ... doing this lesson ... said it well - "every time you hear this song it sounds brand new"
I saw it live on TV, 17 years old. Still one of my favorite life performances ever.
My favorite song by him. . I love this jam. Great guitar work too. . A masterpiece of a song here. . This is a great live version here. . I could have this song on repeat
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Not only a killer riff, but very deep and beautiful poetry..
He says the song is about his exit from Genesis. Then I look at his name Peter who was the head apostle and Gabriel who was the head Angel. It's hard to get more biblical than that!😂
I’m 76 and just heard this song for the first time today, through Scott Adams, who was moved to tears by it
Hello Walter, I’m 29 and I absolutely love this song. I hope I can live to be 76! All the best.
I am 67 years old and I have been listening to this song for 45 years and it is always like the first time and also the ringtone of my cellphone ...

@@sergiob924 I'd like to shake your hand, sir.
@@robinwatson4282 Thanks friend...
In "the musical box" documentary about Genesis, Peter Gabriel said that he was happy and relieved when he heard the "A trick of the tail" album, as it it showed that the band would be perfectly capable of continuing without him and that Phil was doing a STELLAR job singing.
Which is why this song has that lyric of "Today I don't need a replacement, I told them what the smile on my face meant!" It was a big thumbs up to his former band mates "Well done chaps!"
Not quite. When he wrote this...
Solsbury Hill is an intense, brutally honest and angry song
-that's what's so cool about it
And the line you just mentioned (at the time that he wrote it) was actually more of a "f*** you"
-to his (former) band mates AND anyone saying he couldn't be (what he'd be) without Genesis.
He couldn't (not even possibly) sing this song in the last 30 + years the way he wrote it, because he did great (solo) and got over any/all of the stuff he was writing about here.
I love how (obviously on the album, not live so much) each verse gets angrier; those feelings are so many decades behind him that this song for a LONG time has been more if a happy/sing-a-long.
If there was a "well done mates" it came much later.
Flip sides of the same coin, perhaps.
@@jlwilder8436 The angry side of the song was directed to the music critics who wrote him off as a traitor and saboteur.
That he had no squabble with his former band mates was proven when Phil Played on "Peter Gabriel III" and how Tony and Mike have since told how Peter showed up at the "A trick of the tail" sessions just to say hello and hear how things were going.
As I said before, Peter found the stuff they came up with really good.
@@RastaSaiyaman that makes good enough sense to me. I don't know why (over half a year ago) I seemed to make it sound like it was aimed at his former band.
Maybe because, in my head, reflecting on the contrast between Peter's unique solo work, and (Phil-led) Genesis' very pop centric stuff that followed, it almost seemed like there had to be some tension in their split...
I'm just glad they did split, though, because it seems like they were both best at what they did post Peter's Genesis.
@@jlwilder8436 That's a complete and utter rubbish. He always stayed close to his former band mates (they were friends since post high school days) and this most definitely was not a FU to them.
The complete exhaustion from the touring of 1975 and then the difficult birth of his daughter is what was the main cause of him going solo.
The lyrics are more about his own doubts about surviving his life outside of the old band. Nothing to do with his old mates.
This is like with The Beatles, people come up with all sorts of crazy stories, when in fact the real life is far less dramatic.
Among the greatest songs ever. Rave on Peter!! Thanks for the wonderful music.
We all want to go home. This song takes us there..
There is no home on this earth.
As a German I am a bit proud we had that great show format. Peter is Def a Future Artist and so timeless. And a humanist too ❤
Rockpalast was the best platform for bands ever.
AND he’s non Illuminati non-cabal non-NWO non-WEF and non-Masonic controlled = NOW THATS A WIN FOR HUMANITY!
"Grab your things son. I've come to take you home." God telling my son March 25, 2018 it was time to go. RIP, Jason.
RIP Jason
sad to know your son has passed away but that song is about being in Solsbury Hill a place known forUFOS...he is writing about the experience of being in that mountain waiting for an UFO to come and maybe take him for a ride back home
@@jorgevillegas6855 please... don't 😞
After all these years.still a great song that’s lasted the test of time.
Hey, I said
You can keep my things
They've come to take me home
💜
No one knew what they were witnessing at this concert if I could go back in time
CLASSIC SONG, REAL MUSIC !!
Absolutely Immaculate
Timeless and classic song. Sounded beautiful in 1977 when I was ten years old. Still beautiful today and I’m 53 years old.
We're exactly the same age. I feel the same way.
There is some hardwired gene where everyone our age has to say how old they are when commenting on classic rock
this song makes my heart go bacon, bacon, bacon. I love bacon and this song is second.
*This song makes my heart go boom boom boom!*
*It touches me deep inside my soul. 🥰*
*Love you Peter! 💗*
THIS IS AMAZING! Ich wußte um das Original, aber ich habe es SO noch nie gehört und gesehen!
You really are something to observe, Peter!
I love that guitar riff.
This song never gets old.
Peter was the soul of Genesis.
I totally understand why he left in ‘75
What a great human being
Thank you Peter 🙏
Last October I did the same thing left everything I knew behind.
I went through absolute HELL, but I’m here 1st July 2022 the massive gamble has just finally paid off.
I went up Solsbury Hill in April on my mountain bike travelled from London to do it.
@@Warp75 great story...well done for getting to the other side and are now obviously experiencing a bit of heaven.....blessings.
@@andyMSH700I’m getting there Andy. Takes time & thank you
He's one of those rare talents whose performances can feel slightly dangerous. I've always liked that in an artist.
I can't help but smile that the construction vest makes him look like he came to the concert straight from work.
O my lord, 28-year old Peter Gabriel 💖
such an old spirit in your voice, the deepness, and versatility...
the most perfect song
He was so attractive back then. His voice has stood the test of time.
Seems like a nice guy too.
A perfect song, stands with anything that came out in the 70's
I can’t equate this cool punky Peter with the picture of the guy in socks and sandals sometime in the 90s. Love him❤️
I really love how hard he tries so that the audience has angood time! No matter how old he gets or whatever! His audience is so important to him! Plus he’s a nut! I love that!
He's 28 here.
Young Peter looks like young irish icon Richard Dunne. Amazing. Great song Gabriel is the master!!!
Of all the performances he has done this is by far the best
I was 14!.. Saw you Peter about 10 times after that! ..Your music, values and iconographies surely contributed to made me the man I've become!
The ProgFather as a young man. Superb!! I love the attitude with which he sings this, so soon, still, after leaving Genesis.
I love being able to look at these early performances!
Timeless song
I love the simple acoustics
Ma chanson préférée,
Depuis 1977,
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤,
A La VIE.
his first solo album was mind blowing.
Face Melt did it for me. Every song.
The guy playing the acoustic played that absolutely on point the entire way through and he makes it look so easy but in fact it’s a pretty complicated Travis picking riff that I’m trying to play now, which is what brought me to this video. I can’t quite get it yet but this guy just bangs it out as if it’s nothing. Such an amazing riff and amazing song. Love it!
I’m trying to play it aswell it’s rock hard getting your thumb to travis pick it.this bloke is super talented.but I have hit a few other videos where there’s loads on the stage bluffing it.
Guitar player feels the show.
He’s cheating a bit though - not doing the riff quite the way it is on the record. He’s using a pick - and except at the beginning he’s basically strumming it. I think the original recording was done with a twelve string.
@@Poconobuc nope finger picking 1:20
Tony Levin is one of the greatest
Super !!!
Mag diese Präsentation sehr, muß es immer wieder hören 🥰
I will die by the fact that music was FAR better in the old days
Nonsense. Everlong came out 30 years after this.
Everybody says that, including my 93 year old Dad. Think on that a moment. To my dad, this doesn't come close to the magnificence of Tommy Dorsey or Frank Sinatra. To each their own.
What a songwriter!!
I still dream of his face with the longer hair...he was such a beauty back then 💕💕❤️😘😘
Holy F..k..... What a performance and a brilliant track 🙏
Such a beautiful man, then and now.
yes...he is my new boyfriend LOL!
Easily the best version of this song ever.
I can't believe he wrote this song when he was so young. I mean I know he wrote other completely amazing songs even earlier, but I always thought for some reason that this one came later in his career.
Your absolutely right it’s just incredible and makes you think of some other power the songs that were written by people so young look at some of Jackson Browne songs “running on empty “ really empty ? he was like 22 when he wrote that song. Lots of other song writers from the 60s-80 were the same they wrote songs like they lived 2 life times. John Prine writing a song like “ Hello in their “ at 24
Beat live version of this song hands down
"It's about being prepared to lose what you have for what you might get ... It's about letting go." -PG
I left a big chunk of my life in 2020 and moved on to bigger and better things. This was my soundtrack.
Living parallel lives. Congrats!
It’s the most liberating experience you can have….letting go of everything you think you know and have. Love let’s go. No place for fear.
Making big changes/decisions is difficult...and freedom/less heavy times are a gift. The fear is big. Takes courage. Done the same. Hope you're well today. Great, supportive song 💖
I begin this process Friday at 7am.
I’m excited but also scared to death. This song is helping ease some anxieties.
I lost a big chunk of my life in 2017. I can't let go. Somethings you will just never forget.
Il più grande di tutti i tempi!!!!!!
Pienamente d'accordo con te...
I was born 1978. I grew up to and love Peter's music till today. He helped trouhgh hard times, never let me his music cold. He's like a priest, healing with his music. I hope that you have still many years, and that I get that that chance to witness you live in Germany some day. Iwould love to invite my mother to a concert of you. Blessings.
I like how youre speaking to the imaginary crowd first and then switch to speaking to Peter Gabriel as if hes reading himself. Funny. Dunno if you noticed but the healing properties of music arent unique to just one artist. If hes like a priest then all musicians are like priests. Except priests dont heal anyone, just fiddle with kids but I get your meaning.
Pretty raw and imperfect version, but still s classic
Great spirit,great genius,great warrior, God bless you Peter
God this is beautiful. 40 years later and it's still absolute perfection.
such an old spirit in your voice, the deepness, and versatility...
*depth
PG is The Man! What a Classic! The Best!
Master Piece forever.
Thank you for showing us when you Forked the paths of Genesis, Thanks Peter and All.
I was a kid when this song was released, it always takes me back to then and reminds me of all the missed opportunities and twists of fate I’ve encountered in life
Know what you are saying Bro.
comes age - comes wisdom, just lean back and smile :-)))
I'm so impressed with how he mixed up the verses, and realized it, but managed to save it entirely and just roll with it. Gabriel is incredible.
If he sang it backwards still class
I didn't notice that, I would've needed to be an expert !😁
Yes if you listen to the studio version,he put the verses backwards, he pulled through it perfectly
He could sing it backwards and still be a classic 🎉
PG a musical genius. Totally unique talent.
Incredible
Grew up with this Music I will never forget this music
One of the first songs I ever heard!!
The best version ever. Rough and genuine.
...And this, among many other things, was accomplished by age 28.
Age 17-Formed Genesis.
Age 25-Left his own creation (Genesis) to go solo.
Age 27-Wrote this masterpiece.
That’s what makes me go 😮, 28 and awesome
Ont m'as pas laisser voir vos videos, toujours les memes, mais je sais que nos telephones etait reliés. Vous saviez tout de moi et moi rien de vous. Je sais pas, si vous etes decede vraiment ou si par contre vous etes en vie... je peux et je veux pas le croire❤⚘
We don't all come from the same place. There is no age to achieve things.
Thank you Peter Gabriel, awesome 😎 song, awesome musician.
Everything is there, he is young, cute, almost arrogant by his relaxation, his ease and already a lot of charisma in his interpretation!
With time it is like good wine, it improves, improves, always extremely well surrounded with excellent musicians, it has proven to the whole world its immense creative talent, it has known how to survive the times and remains a sure value of music!
The raw energy of this performance is mind-blowing!
I think the best live performance of this song I've seen.
He was the same age as I am now at the time. So cute! I just wish I could go back in time and bring him here with me. And show all the young people our age a thing or two about real music.
Its all about the music. Thank You Peter Gabriel
AbsoDAMNlutely!!!
The voice of GABE is like no other...SIMPLY AMAZING !!!
Does not get better than this!
Its like the character that played in genesis was still here. His eyes are full of anger and irony. Luckily, years later he was able to relax and truly show "his other self". I love you peter
I hadn't seen this version before and you are 100% spot on. I was sitting here thinking he could be singing a Sex Pistols song, he looks so angry.
@@lvthud especially in this performance it's very punk, but at the same time a classic emotional song
Props to whoever did the video transfer or was in charge of storing the tape.
It was a top tier public tv performance, expensive equipment, probably close to 720p in the master tapes.
I had no idea how old the song was, brilliant!
He’s so young in this video but at this point he was already one of the most accomplished song writers of modern rock.
He's from the progressive rock not modern rock. Big difference.
Brilliant
Good choice son, thank god ! Real music coming through at last 😘🎸🎤🎹🏴🙏
Perfect Version!!✨✨✨✨✨
It's indeed a great pleasure for me to have a supportive fan like you. Message me on my hangout email

This is by far my favorite version, the lyrical mixups don’t even bother me one bit. ❤️❤️
After all these years, still amazing!
My heart going....
BEAUTIFUL SONG! ❤️
Play time ❤❤❤
Wow thank you
Happy new year 2021 to the world
Shine bright and beYOUtiful💫❇💞🍀🕯💫🙏☀🐾
One of those songs that gives me chills.........
Just an incredible land mark in music by a true legion of selfless art. Bless him and all artist who sail with him!
wonderful!
I remember when this song was on the charts. I just didn’t know who Peter Gabriel was, at the time. Love the guitar work..🥰
Off his rocker. Love him x
great guitars by Sid McGuiness , strong adrian belew vibe, he is fuking great
This is my moms favourite song! (Pretty cool 😎) . Music/ lyrics are amazing, Got a good music teacher! Thanks mom 😘🙏🎸🎤
The fact this is being played on a Gurian acoustic makes so much connected universe sense.
Yes I still have it ! Sid
My favourite albums by Peter Gabriel are I and II. He had done a lot of good music since, but the first two are my absolute favourite, even 40 years later.
