Isn't he supposed to be pushing a lawnmower? But he's wearing bell-bottoms and high heeled boots and that silly hat. He doesn't look like a working man in any way. It doesn't work. Give me "Working Man" by Rush all day.
@@michaelparton71 I like some of Gabriel's later work. He's a legend but this doesn't do it for me. I'm glad that others like it, though. To each his own taste, I guess.
@@andrewpetik2034 Fair enough. Maybe I have a blind spot for this. But as far as Genesis goes, every time I go Bowling I play the Three Sides Live version of Abacab on the jukebox. The second half jam is superb.
I'm speechless. This performance would be progressive even today. Respect that Genesis gave him the right platform for his ideas. Thank you Mr. Gabriel for all you've done for those who appreciate you.
Splendid! Peter was 20 years ahead of his time. His vocal range is outstanding, his mis-en-scene brilliant. The perfect frontman. It´s a pity we no longer have such innovative craftsmen like Genesis.
Peter Gabriel com sua teatralidade, pinturas, máscaras e roupas espalhafatosas faz-me lembrar outros grandes artistas q seguiam essa mesma linha teatral: David Bowie; Boy George; Todd Rundgren, a banda The Cure, Rod Stewart, Freddy Mercury, E. John. E aq no Brasil: o grupo Secos & Molhados (Ney Matogrosso).
I'm so glad to see so many others enjoy this video, especially the younger fans. There is hope. These guys sounded so huge. The dual vocal assault is amazing.
I remember crying for days when I was a schoolgirl and Gabriel left. I thought the band would end. Well it didn't of course, and I like Collins too - but Gabriel was always my childhood hero:)
Yeah I agree. I listen to Phil Collins era Genesis too, but the Peter Gabriel era is just amazing! He's probably one of the strangest, and most talented, musicians ever. It's art, beautiful beautiful art.
I’m 60 now . I was a Huge prog rock fan , this is one of my favourites.. it reminds me of the juke box in a village pub (England ) and a lad I knew who passed in a motorbike crash . I feel like this is my funeral song because I know what I like and i like what I know ❤
I'm 14, and I've love Genesis, Floyd and Zeppelin. I'm not trying to be one of those ones who says pointless things for likes, but I've downloaded every album by Genesis, and now 3 of my mates have got their entire discography too. Let the Genesis Live on!
Peter Gabriel changed the face of music...His stage presence changed things into performance music....He made David Bowie sit back..I love this stuff..Peter was amazing
The great part about this song is how easily they describe how boring suburban English life is and the part where he pretends to be a lawnmower is genius it doesn't matter when other people call you a fool because they don't have the courage to step into the stage and try out new things.
Life is boring to people that are boring. There is always someone nearby needing help with problems in their life. if this song is about what you say it is, then it is no wonder that I see zero appeal to this song or the performance on the stage.
Phil Collins is every bit as genius as Peter Gabriel. 1/8 of either of them is 5000 times more than anything that is being marketed as music these days. Phil is also one of the most under rated drummers. Seen them in concert in 76' (after Gabriel) and it was one of the best concerts I ever went to.
This was the best group for me at that time. They still live on me to the point that here was I looking for them. You can still see Phil Collins in the drums before Peter Gabriel went solo. The album Selling England by the Pound, were this song comes from is a piece of art. I can´t never forget the good times I had in Rio de Janeiro together with my great group of friends, always listening to Genesis...man!!! What great times those were...
It took me a while to get into this song but once I got into it, I never grew bored with it. It makes me smile every time I listen to it, regardless of whether it was sung by Peter or Phil. Classic Genesis!
Brilliant! What a band they were back then Phil's drumming and mike bass playing were fantastic, and Peter, what a show man! Its also hard to beleive that they were all about 19 / 20 years old on this clip.
This is my favorite video on here..I wish I could see live shots of him swinging out and walking on people's heads...Peter loved doing that in theaters
My first job was as a computer programmer for S.W. Farmer in Lewisham, London , the Mr Farmer referred to... at one time they did indeed make fire escapes as they were a steel company and the painted brick wall advertisment that could be seen from the train caught the eye of Genesis...sadly Famers went bust 25 years ago ... still , a piece of history... regards Fitvideo
first herd this on a complation LP called 20 power hits never knew who genesis were then but was always fasinated by this track it drew me in every time i herd it. brilliant takes me back to when i was 12!!
wow - this is great in that its unbelevible to watch this now and remember when this was the in thing in the seventies, Peter Gabriel with them and Phil Collins with hair!
hi wow its just like when i saw the show wow thanks for sharing this mister proghead908, When I was a teenager I went to see them every time they were in town (Quebec city) and funny enough never got bored ..maybe i'm just a little bit fanatic of Genesis ..lol non mais sérieusement seriously they gave one of the top best shows in early 70s Visual, Sound, mood, crowd everything,,, okay long time ago for the young'uns us2 we tripped- wasn't better or worse just diffrnt xx
Been a Genesis fan for over 25 years. Both Peter and Phil... Never saw this before and it is amazing. Heard this song many times on both vinyl and CD and never enjoyed so much. Thanks for sharing... Wish Phil could still play...
Genesis is eternal. I have seen this video hundreds of times since 2009-2010 and it still gives me chills. Sadly Phil Collins is a little bit sick and he is now singing on wheelchair. They are in their mid 70's now but their music will persist the pass of time

It's good to see so many Gabriel-era Genesis fans exist! I always thought this was a hidden gem in the prog-rock canon.
Two words Jonas Suppers Ready. I could weep with pure joy still at its perfection
@@sallybannister6224 nice x
Peter Gabriel is Genesis.
Genesis com Peter Gabriel pura magia
@@AbsintholicPeter Gabriel era mt cachaceiro.
Love these songs are my life in 2024 and forever. I’m 73 They kept me alive and God Bless us Genius followers thank you Peter and Phil ❤❤❤
The theatrics alone are incredible, but when you add their voices.... PURE GENIUS.
Super.Ideal
As is the musicianship.
He looks like a buffoon! 😂
When Peter and Phil's voices synch up perfectly... Chilling.
Realllyyy!
their vocal harmonies are beautiful. it adds to the sound.
So very true..saw Gabrielle on his first solo and some of the God sent was missing and you knew it was that
Indeed 🌼 🤗
Absolutely ❤
My 5 year old son loves this too. He always wants to see Peter be the "lawn mower man." I'm glad he appreciates it!
Now he's 21! Hope he still like's and appreciates people like Peter.
My favourite Genesis song, Peter Gabriel’s Genesis era was brilliant
I love the way he does all that mad shit at the begining and you fear the worst, then launches into that blistering vocal. goosebumps song.
Isn't he supposed to be pushing a lawnmower? But he's wearing bell-bottoms and high heeled boots and that silly hat. He doesn't look like a working man in any way. It doesn't work. Give me "Working Man" by Rush all day.

@@Torgo1969What bist you doin’ ere then ? Away with all that negativity ..now’t better than seeing Peter mowing the lawn ..
Had a huge crush on Peter Gabriel. Collins and Gabriel harmonize perfectly. One of my many favourites x
How can you not love this performance...
I don't see the appeal in any way. For prog rock, give me Rush all day.
@@Torgo1969
I have every RUSH album from their debut album up to Presto....
Having said that, I am absolutely fascinated with this performance.!
@@andrewpetik2034 Fair enough. Maybe I have a blind spot for this. But as far as Genesis goes, every time I go Bowling I play the Three Sides Live version of Abacab on the jukebox. The second half jam is superb.
Here we are in 2019 and I still think this written in 1973 is an absolute masterpiece!
Watching in 2021 and they're still perfection
November 2021 and still enjoying Peter Gabriel, such a showman
I will love this song til doomsday!
Can you imagine actually been there ......🤯
@@offroad3607 omg I would have loved to have been there ! Sadly I was just 4 years old when it happened lol
Watching Peter's transformation through the past 50 decades has been so worth it. What an entertainer!
Certainly feels like 50 decades 🤜
40 years on and I still KNOW WHAT I LIKE. The best and most creative band of all time.
I'm speechless. This performance would be progressive even today. Respect that Genesis gave him the right platform for his ideas. Thank you Mr. Gabriel for all you've done for those who appreciate you.
Splendid! Peter was 20 years ahead of his time. His vocal range is outstanding, his mis-en-scene brilliant. The perfect frontman. It´s a pity we no longer have such innovative craftsmen like Genesis.
Peter Gabriel, the legend.
It was this song that helped me get through my last year of high school.
i never get tired of this
OMG, Gabriel was crazy.
He would've been great for a role in a Tim Burton's film.
Peter Gabriel com sua teatralidade, pinturas, máscaras e roupas espalhafatosas faz-me lembrar outros grandes artistas q seguiam essa mesma linha teatral: David Bowie; Boy George; Todd Rundgren, a banda The Cure, Rod Stewart, Freddy Mercury, E.

I hate Tim Burton films...fortunately for him and that cock Johnny Depp there are plenty of idiots in thd world to pay to see it and make them rich
I'm so glad to see so many others enjoy this video, especially the younger fans. There is hope. These guys sounded so huge. The dual vocal assault is amazing.
My husband saw them in Manchester when they recorded for a live album about 1973.
I remember crying for days when I was a schoolgirl and Gabriel left. I thought the band would end. Well it didn't of course, and I like Collins too - but Gabriel was always my childhood hero:)
He's my childhood friend.
Yes 🐇
You have
I'm 48 and listening to this with my nine year old daughter....Genesis is timeless.
Brilliant, emotional lyrics. Stunning performance artistry by Gabriel and what a tune- great melodies. Not to mention the bass part in chorus..
that bass was PHATTT!
Agreed. In the live Collins version on UA-cam, the bass is pushed too far down in the mix.
I so always loved this song , my favorite Genesis song since I was a kid! ❤️
Mike Rutherford’s masterful bass licks. 👌
Classic - literally. Classic earworm from way back when. It's cool to see a young Phil Collins at the drums.
Little did he realize we would still be watching over 40 yrs later. That's why it's important to always bring your A GAME! #ProgRock
70s Peter Gabriel makes my heart smile
…….”you can tell me by the way I walk”. 40 plus years of law mowing and this tune always makes it into my head. 😊
Peter is just so beautiful 🌺🌺
Not surprised all that make up 😂
My GOD... Phi Collins, with HAIR!!!!
I never really liked this track when it was out in the 70s but seeing this performance by Peter Gabriel changes all that. The guy is awesome.
What a great show same as in Sherbrooke Quebec long ago Love it. Thank You very much GENESIS for all your great music🙏❤
Yeah I agree. I listen to Phil Collins era Genesis too, but the Peter Gabriel era is just amazing! He's probably one of the strangest, and most talented, musicians ever. It's art, beautiful beautiful art.

Richard Hammond is watching this secretly and loving it 🤣🤣
What a showman!! Best song on the album!!
This was some wicked crazy shit! Especially for the time! Far distance from the later hits.
I love this! Still sounds so good. Peter Gabriel. Different sort of Genesis I still come back to this track over and over.
Not a big Genesis fan but first heard this in 1974 and LOVED it!
It does'nt get any better than this. Theatrical, Musical, Genius.
The great part about this song is how easily they describe how boring suburban English life is and the part where he pretends to be a lawnmower is genius it doesn't matter when other people call you a fool because they don't have the courage to step into the stage and try out new things.
He's actually imitating a lawn mower, not a lawnmower

Best Genesis song / masterpiece and Peter
This is the first song i ever heard of genesis back in 75" loved it then and still love it now.
Phil Collins is every bit as genius as Peter Gabriel. 1/8 of either of them is 5000 times more than anything that is being marketed as music these days. Phil is also one of the most under rated drummers. Seen them in concert in 76' (after Gabriel) and it was one of the best concerts I ever went to.
Phil is pretty chill back there on the skins in a lot of concert videos. Effortless, like making a sandwich.
Phil is no Peter, but yeah, he was a great drummer and a good singer.
This performance video should be listed as a UNESCO cultural heritage site.
Love to be able to go back and witness one of those concerts.
Luv him and genesis ❤❤❤

This was and always will be THE BEST Genesis! Period!
I brought myself here because I love and appreciate great music, aka, Genesis. Musical geniuses.
This was first broadcast on OGWT, I remember it from the day
My sons a gardener, I always think of him when I hear this, he wouldnt be flattered
One of the finest pieces of music ever made,
2:17 - "AAH, I HATE THAT BIT! IT'S THAT BIT!"
i hate that brit
I love Gabriel's voice live.
Sang this during a talent show, never felt happier in my life
Those dislikes came from Hammond.
"It's that bit! I HATE THAT BIT!!!"
@@richkeeshan9757 😅😅😅😅😅😅Keep them mowing blades sharp mate .. we do in England Gawd blimey ...
Has Hammond not killed himself yet in his stupid infantile escapades with rocket cars and their ilk,
😂
Richard Hammond is a lawn mower!
It's one o'clock & time for lunch(hum de dum ,de dum dum)..
An absolute classic & almost 50 year's old .
I have been asked my whole life if I was named after the group....and songs like this make me proud to be associated with such talent.
This is what it's like to live with Jeremy? Oh god, I feel Richard's pain.
Brilliant song though.
Brilliant! What a band they were back then Phil's drumming and mike bass playing were fantastic, and Peter, what a show man! Its also hard to beleive that they were all about 19 / 20 years old on this clip.
Don't forget Tony Banks on te keyboards.
@@jeftesantos6845 brilliant! …and Steve too …all so young at the time and all brilliant!
@@musodan72 Exactly.
its all about the show. hes not weird, he is a genius
that is amazing footage of early live Genesis...
This is so weird and whacky at the beginning. I love it. I might've hated it, but I really enjoy it.
Richard Hammond knows fuck all about cars never mind music!
RIP David Bowie
Love it with the West Country Intro! So Genesis! Classic! x

la mejor alineacion de genesis, excelente cancion, Gabriel era experto en presentaciones en vivo y en causar reacciones raras de la audencia, lo amo!
Absolutely timeless piece of music, still relevant today!
Real music is played on guitars and drums by men with long hair And facial hair PERIOD/FULL STOP! Awesome.
A Mad man and Genius at the same time ….
wow - this is great in that its unbelevible to watch this now and remember when this was the in thing in the seventies, Peter Gabriel with them and Phil Collins with hair!
Performance art was big in the 60s, like miming and the likes, coffeehouse poetry, etc. Here it's done fine art.
After 4 years I've finally found this song omfg
hi wow its just like when i saw the show wow thanks for sharing this mister proghead908, When I was a teenager I went to see them every time they were in town (Quebec city) and funny enough never got bored ..maybe i'm just a little bit fanatic of Genesis ..lol non mais sérieusement seriously they gave

I bought this single. Peter is a truly great live singer and didn't he make us laugh
Just learned about this song, holy shit it’s amazing
Gabriel at one of his best performances...
Gabriel: entertainment factor 10
Been a Genesis fan for over 25 years. Both Peter and Phil... Never saw this before and it is amazing. Heard this song many times on both vinyl and CD and never enjoyed so much. Thanks for sharing... Wish Phil could still play...
Esto si que es musica,me llega a emocionar,ver a Peter Gabriel,como frontman de ese pedazo de grupo llamado Genesis......
Wow 50 years later and this still kicks ass
Uma das melhores do Gênesis e mesmo assim com o inigualável Peter Gabriel!
Simply brilliant. From my youth a fantastic memory that will last forever 😊
Petition for 2:21 to be The Grand Tour's theme music.
I'll sign that petition

Very Good Music. Genesis. I Know What I Like. 1973. Album Selling England By The Pound.
