You are right,Cimber! I add that the desire to experiment and go beyond the stereotypes of Genesis of Peter we can listen in all the songs of this Album.

Robert Fripp with an awesome guitar-solo on "Here comes the Flood". . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYt1Mb_9pbQ

Oh,ok,I understand now,and I agree with you DolceVita! :-]

Beside his songs from his 1st album Peter also performed these songs in 1977: 1. "A Song without Words" (became "Indigo" later on) 2. "All Day and all of the Night" (Kinks-cover) 3. "Ain`t that Peculiar" (Marvin Gaye-cover) 4. "Heard it through the Grapevine"(rare! M. Gaye-cover) 5. "Back in N.Y.C" ("The Lamb lies down on Broadway")

. . .C`mon also this one : 6. "Why don`t We" (. . .brilliant and awesome)

MAK,I think "Here comes the Flood" that you have posted is "accompanied" by an excellent Robert Fripp,but the final guitar solo is played by an excellent too Steve Hunter Nice video!! Cimber,good informations,and. . . .yes!! "Why Dont' We"? Fan-tas-tic song,with Peter that plays flute. . .

7. "Here comes the Flood" (alternative piano-version) 8. "On the Air" (yes, before it appeared on the 2nd LP) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dolce Vita sounds interesting with Steve Hunter - never thought about it.

On stage Peter wear a simple suit. He wins the odience with the power of Music,voice and movement. No slides,colored lights,masks. (. . . just only the jacket of Rael for some "BIS"). A new beginning. . . .

PG 'me and my teddy bear', nothing to do with this thread. I just like it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YcwUP1XADU

Daddy,how about PG II?

Sure Evoulini, are you going to start a new thread then? DUddy! :-]

No,you'll do it,since you had the idea! :-]

Oh, ok E, done!

We do not forget the beautiful "Here comes the Flood" I LOVE the version of "HIT" 2003. . . Peter with piano,i do not why does he give so much emotion??? Why? . . . . because he IS Peter Gabriel,i think . . . :-] . . . !!!

Dolce Vita, yes surely Peter, the "master of ceremony and visual music" was trying to stand away from all the Genesis-image, that people had, BUT - I am speaking of "light-effects" - he was using a flashlight to light up his face from down, which had a scary effect in the dark. The piano and vocal-version on "HIT" was recorded for "Shaking the Tree" in 1989 - together with the title-track. I remember listening to this version on a PG-special on the radio - yes, listening to this version for the 1st time had an amazing impression on me - I was moved. Peter played this version (piano plus vocal) already in 1977 and also for the Kate Bush-TV-special in 1979 (toghether with "Another Day". The song was covered by US-actor Bette Midler in 1982, I think.

Thank you for precious informations Cimber! . . . . and thanks for your passage underlined about "light-effects",right! You know,in my humble opinion, the success of "special-effects" on stage (could be lights,masks or anything else. . .) comes only from the personality of Peter. .

Bump. . . .for Pink Arrow

Oh you've done it Dolce, bumped again for Pink Arrow! :-]
