The man could write 1000 hits for the billboard and make millions like other "Rock'n'Roll" singers we all know, but inssists on his own Art and Truth. Nothing but respect and admiration dear PH.
Peter hammil in an unsung genius of our time, I found him in my teens in van dear Graf, changed my view on music forever. He wrote the saddest couplet I ever heard....."the stars shine, but they're not for me" Daves sax is haunting
Творчество этого музыканта сейчас больше воспринимают эмоционально, однако пройдет время и его гений будет услышан! Очень. Счастлива что была на этом потрясающем концерте!Особое спасибо Саше Липницкому🙏🔥
This is DOUBLE~PLUS~GOOD! it reminds me of when I met Peter, Stuart Gordon, and Nic Potter a year or two before this, backstage at the Clapham Grand in London. Hooligan and Mozart were really nice Blokes, I had to persuade them to Autograph Peter's Book "Killers, Angels, Refugees" by saying I'd tell Peter I made them sign it! ( Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!) I did square it with him without any problem, and Mr Hammill added his Signature beside the other two. It's a bittersweet tale, as Stuart and Nic are sadly no longer here with us. I still Treasure the Book. R.I.P MOZART and HOOLIGAN.
I've recently rekindled a friendship born in the 1970s. The first questions my refound friend asked was did I really ever really like VDGG or was I just determined to be different and did I still like them. Strange questions to ask a saxophonist. The answer now is the same as then, yes. As to why, just listen to Jaxon. Arguably he might not be Coltrane but my word do I love his playing.
What an evocative voice! When Rob Halford used to use his lower range early in Priest's life, warmer, a steady and consistent vibrato, a darkling baritone ... it's very clearly where he got part of his inspiration from.
I know, hopefully PH puts the light on green to put this Show on DVD or cd, to good for the vaults and an almost forgotten part of the PH Story, unrightly so as this Show proves.
Well, no Guy evans, no Hugh Banton, but magical and brilliant as always. Why this format? Was Nick Potter (RIP) not available? We need more Peter Hammills. Unfortunately, there is only one, but he fills my cup. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.
David Jackson and Stuart Gordon really work well together here. Such chemistry. David Jackson is such an excellent sax player. You wonder whe he isn't rated up there among the greats. He should be!
@@jeanlucchapelon Salut J.-Luc, Tu rigoles ? Van der Graaf a toujours été un de mes groupes préférés ! Cette musique m'a toujours touché au plus profond de mon âme (ça fait pompeux, mais c'est la réalité). Hammill est pour moi le génie le plus méconnu au monde. Il sera étudié dans les facs après sa mort, j'en suis sûr. D'ailleurs, je devais aller voir le groupe, mais le concert est reporté en septembre. Tu y vas ?
I agree but for my young age, knowing only the albums of the 70's these sounds are under of what I could wait for. If I can throw a veil on it, perhaps could I rediscover something smelling well owh so well, beautyfull in fact for my ears, my soul. I'm waiting for another guy like this man.
Damn, I just discovered here that Stuart Gordon had died, checked out his obituary, and realised that he was the violinist in a wonderful duo called "The Short Wave Band" who I saw a number of times at university. Saw Gordon playing with Hammill live in Athens a few years back and never made the connection. A sad loss. Hugely underappreciated musician. I remember thinking that when he and PH really got stuck into it, they could make enough of a (wonderful) racket to put the wind up Lemmy! Not something you would always say about a guitar and violin duet.
I only met Stuart once. He was playing with the Keith Warmington Band at the Mission Theatre in Bath, must have been around 2006. I had arrived early. I will never forget that he took the time to come over to me and chat before before the performance. A lovely man, a great musician and a very sad loss.
In reference to Stuart Gordon - "...he also toured extensively with Peter Hammill, who said there was never any need to rehearse with Stuart, as he would instinctively always know what to play."
David Jackson is a great too. That makes two greats at.least.In Van Der Graaf. How DJ interpets PH's lyrics and vocals through his sax is untoppable. The rest of VDGG are great too.
My theory is there's some device in Jax's hat piloting the sax. Great stuff, although for Generator fans rather than pure Hammil fans, it's a bit like Floyd without Rick Wright.
@@multi-purposebiped7419 its different, i love both bands...and while Wright is at the heart of all best Floyd, the VDG (-G) version of the group and a whole lot of solist Peter still are truly great because of his songs and singing alone...
Very cool. I saw the same band do a shorter version of this set in Grenoble earlier in the same tour. I didn't think there was any video out there of this incarnation of the band. Thank you!
Have never seen this band configuration before! Am trying to decide if the lack of bass is a problem or not. Love the way Gordon & Jaxon play off each other. Such a tragedy that PH and DJ have since fallen out.
Exelente..........Para variar un poco.........Que fuerza que tienen no??? Como puede ser que haya tanta batateada en general entre la musica, siempre.........Como es que nunca he escuchado por la radio bandas como esta.........Jamás... Crimson, Zappa, V.d.Graaf G., Gong...........etc.
Its been over 20 years ago, I found a CD in a small record shop in my hometown... the beginning of my passion called VdGG and Hammill. I'm glad to find still today such great pearls! Thanks a lot for uploading!
Por favor no insultemos a P.H a Luca le gustaba la merca y el whisky....si esa mierda de música que hizo no t iene nada que ver con esto.....ah claro Petinatto a lo Jackson ....por favor...
Soy incondicional de Peter Hammill desde hace más de 30 años , y tengo toda su discografía , así como la de su grupo la Van Der Graaf Generator . Si os gusta Peter os recomiendo el disco OVER , para mi es de los mejores. saludos
Tomo buena nota de la recomendación. Voy a buscar el album. Gracias. Por razones personales el album de Hammill que me tocó más fue el "As close as this"
I don't get why they couldn't have a bass player! Years earlier he would form a trio with Nic Potter and Stuart Gordon, but without a drummer...I often wonder if these "interesting" lineups are actual ideas that PH had, or if it's down to budget constraints. This band would've been killer with Nic Potter on it (and viceversa with the Room Temperature trio which could've been awesome with Manny Elias)

Is not a choice, is identity, is what he are
I agree totally with you

Is t David Jackson one of Van Der Graaf’s original members?

Потрясающий концерт! Мне очень повезло , сидели во втором ряду! Хэммилл - гений , современный Моцарт! Видео мало что передает...🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
peter hammill forever great music at the end of time
great performance: the violin: the sax: the voice the only expressionists in music
& I was there. Peter the Great!

A Headlong Stretch better than in the original recording, absolutely marvelous
What an axecution! I saw them in Rome, that year, it Was memorable
What an evocative voice! When Rob Halford used to use his lower range early in Priest's life, warmer, a steady and consistent vibrato, a darkling baritone ... it's very clearly where he got part of his inspiration from.
yeah I was there, it was fantastic night.
me too

Люди преодолели тысячи километров что бы попасть на его выступление
Hammill’s clothing and hair makes him look like ‘70s Bowie, which is interesting. I love Peter Hammill and Van Der Graaf Generator.
Well, no Guy evans, no Hugh Banton, but magical and brilliant as always.
Why this format? Was Nick Potter (RIP) not available?
We need more Peter Hammills. Unfortunately, there is only one, but he fills my cup. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.
Straight to the hart!
Both
This is one of the best live performances I have seen recorded
David Jackson and Stuart Gordon really work well together here. Such chemistry.
David Jackson is such an excellent sax player. You wonder whe he isn't rated up there among the greats. He should be!
Genius!!!!
pure vibration…
О! Я была на этом концерте, это было великолепно!!
This is ART
It reminds me of the magical live period of the duo with Stuart.
No bass... What a challenge! I love you Peter.
Je ne savais pas que tu aimais aussi Van der graaf !

Salut J.-Luc,
Tu rigoles ? Van der Graaf a toujours été un de mes groupes préférés ! Cette musique m'a toujours touché au plus profond de mon âme (ça fait pompeux, mais c'est la réalité). Hammill est pour moi le génie le plus méconnu au monde. Il sera étudié dans les facs après sa mort, j'en suis sûr. D'ailleurs, je devais aller voir le groupe, mais le concert est reporté en septembre. Tu y vas ?
great show! Love the quartet.
Straordinari!!! VDGG band grandiosa!!! PH voce incredibile e puro genio....sublime!!!
Monumental!!!
Fantastic!!
Crikey, "Headlong Stretch" must be an extremely difficult, Epic, Piece to play onstage, but they pull it off. Brilliant.
saw them a the time in Paris, great sound with the late Stuart Gordon
awesome recording! great image, great sound and (of course) fabulous music!
I agree but for my young age, knowing only the albums of the 70's these sounds are under of what I could wait for. If I can throw a veil on it, perhaps could I rediscover something smelling well owh so well, beautyfull in fact for my ears, my soul. I'm waiting for another guy like this man.
A must for all VdGG and Peter Hammill afficianados. Superb footage from Russia TV and superb performance from the Peter Hammill Quartet.
Thank you very much!

pocos artistas pueden lograr conmover, muy pocos,
PH es uno de ellos!
thank you for this gift!
Sus 2 tocayos, Peter Townshend y Peter Gabriel, no andan muy lejos
I saw them on that tour, thinking this is the closest I'll ever get to experiencing VDGG live. I was wrong :D But this was great in its own right
I was there. Peter the Great!
masterpiece.
graet!
Spiritual, sensory and rebellious, music of this composer reveals secret impostures, explores serene pleasures, a world of resurfacing dreams ! 💫💦

This is mighty as a rose.
No hay mejor descripción del otoño que esas notas que entreteje Jackson sobre la melodía.
Питер Хаммил, один из лучших музыкантов, на мой вкус)))))
What a very strong line-up this was, and what a great performance. Many thanks for uploading this wonderful gig.
Oolong Oolong Lovely comment short and sweet and to the point.
Fabulous music! Thanks for posting!
Merci à toi Stuart. Tu nous manques
Preterite almost perfect. Excellent music, excellent words or poems if you prefer ... Superb! Thank you very much for sharing. Well there.
35 years since I love PH and VDGG. Thanks for THIS !!! much respect, And - Italy
Спасибо!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Many thanks! It's simply perfect. Remembering my first PH concert (and the K group?) in the University of Linz. Sometimes in the late 80's.
Москва никогда не забудит !
Был на этом концерте! Очень классно!
Нет слов ! Прекрасно !
Very cool. I saw the same band do a shorter version of this set in Grenoble earlier in the same tour. I didn't think there was any video out there of this incarnation of the band. Thank you!
Me queda claro que el arte, no tiene edad y por genios como estos, jamas morirá...
Have never seen this band configuration before! Am trying to decide if the lack of bass is a problem or not. Love the way Gordon & Jaxon play off each other. Such a tragedy that PH and DJ have since fallen out.
Yrs great band and i was thinking about that too and i think Potter and Lord add to that would be the ultimate band
Shepherd's Chapel Network !!!!!!! Chapter by Chapter / Verse by Verse !!!!!!! Amen
Thanks for uploading this amazing recording! Applause!
Magnifique. Merci de tout coeur pour cette exceptionnelle captation.
Genial!!
Exelente..........Para variar un poco.........Que fuerza que tienen no???

Hernan Rios Entiendo un poco lo que decis, querés..........Pero seria una hijademiloutessss!!!Salu2!!!
¿Te imaginas a Enrique Iglesias "colaborando" con Peter Hammill? Pues eso...
Claro que sí, sin lugar a dudas.......Le lustraría los zapatos y hasta quizás aprendería.
I was there. Incredible show.
Thanks a lot for sharing that video!
Super Vdgg 1966 !

Nunca vi nada parecido. Para sacarse el sombrero, con razón a Luca le gustava tanto.
Gustavo Alberto Garay a Luca Prodan ???, no sabía....
a que Luca?

Quality is Ok ! :)
RIP Stuart Gordon.
So sad. Not enough people heard the news either. He was very adept with PH.
Shit, I had no idea. Stupendous musician. The best ever rock violin player in my opinion. Sad news.
muchas gracias por esta verdadera joya. god bless you
I think I know what you mean about the voice compared to 1970s maybe but most fans think he still has a great voice even today (2012 shows)
whew... now 2022 and VdGG is touring. And people still say he sounds great. It's all relative ;). I still like it
I don't get why they couldn't have a bass player! Years earlier he would form a trio with Nic Potter and Stuart Gordon, but without a drummer...I often wonder if these "interesting" lineups are actual ideas that PH had, or if it's down to budget constraints. This band would've been killer with Nic Potter on it (and viceversa with the Room Temperature trio which could've been awesome with Manny Elias)
No, it was on TV.
Петя Хамилов мой любимчик.
sorprendente ..
Le jour de mes 40 ans :D
❤❤❤❤
J'ai vu le même groupe à Bruxelles. C'est trop loin tout ça.
OMG. PH turned 75 on November 5th, 2023.
Time is like a cat's cradle in my hands
No, it's Stuart Gordon.
I want this DVD, if anyone can help me to get it...
Como habrá obtenido el Siku David ??
En realidad es un NAI, una flauta de Pan rumana.
is it on DVD?
DJ David Jackson not Dee Jay 😉
W la Federazione Russa !!!
Nič nové,klasika V.d.G.Generator...TNX
IS IT GRAHAM SMITH ON VOILIN?
No, is Stuart Gordon.
Too munch
No more voice, it's sad.
москва, почему москва!?!? Лучше бы в Чернигов...
