I recorded this when it broadcast live on the local FM station on cassette. Since then transferred it to cdr. Still listen to it now. U2 performed that day and Sting with the Police. Great show.
I'm revisiting PG live clips after not listening to him for a long time and realizing what a killer and consistent singer he is/was. Unlike most pop/rock acts, his singing was just as good in concert as it was on record.
I can't stop surfing and watching all of PG's old concerts, Gawd, I love him. He was (and still is) so unbelievably sexy. And that voice. And his words. I wish I would have had the funds to go see him when I was in college.
Family Snapshot was an Extra Special treat. Gabriel was by far my personal choice but U2, Sinead O'Connor & Sting among others made for a blessed day of like minded folks. The tour stop we saw was in Chicago. Another once in a lifetime opportunity up there with Amnesty was the Chicago WOMAD Festival stop & more recently the duo touring companies of Gabriel & friends & Sting & friends along with additional musicians all playing together for the limited stops of Rock, Paper & Scissors tour. Keep it coming...
@@nowaynottoday Just wish I could get in touch with Joni Mitchell to tell her we weren't booing her. We were booing the damn lights that were shining in our eyes, emanating from the sound booth at the center of the field
I still have my ticket stub from this show. Took the bus down from Montreal. I went to this show basically because PG was on the bill. So Freaking Good ...
Amnesty International has a great importance to Peter Gabriel. Here, he is singing and playing some of his most successful songs like "Red Rain" on his piano, then as an actor dancer Shock the Monkey", "Sledgehammer", "San Jacinto", "Biko" and "In your Eyes". What energy and talent! Peter Gabriel is obviously a great showman. (Even if the sound is not so good).
So dropped about three weeks before this performance and PG was magnificent even without Tony Levin - Manu and Rhodes were brilliant. I was there and the crowd was totally looking forward to U2 but PG's set served as a perfect tee-up for what was to come later in the evening. Was kinda ironic that The Police closed the show IMHO. Lou Reed was terrific as well may he RIP. Also, a local Philly fave, The Hooters played early in the day. Never will forget that day.
Still a powerful set in 2020! Except that “In Your Eyes” isn’t also from East Rutherford ‘86. Why the O/P decided to tack that on as being from the same set as the rest of the video, I don’t know.
Tina Burns If you ever see a musician on stage looking panicked and gesturing to the side of the stage, they're telling the monitor engineer that they can't hear themselves.
Chief Kurtz A lot easier now. The band I tour with brings a Midas monitor console everywhere we go and our monitor guy splits into the I/O snake and we get the same mix every time. All in-ear with no fuss. Back then it was all feedback and blown drivers. Lol.
I've seen it on a right hand if you are widowed, or divorced. At this point he was still married, but possibly in the process of divorcing Jill. That's my best guess. You've got a good eye for noticing that little detail.
It's a different approach/arrangement than the one on 'So'. The percussion sequence it starts with, and which keeps going throughout, and that sort of funk guitar part heard on the verses are not there on the recorded version either.
@@blerkh I didn't say he's bad, he's amazing. But the drumming on this song live is way off. It was not the first live of his that I didn't like what he was doing, so it was not such a surprise.
@@EmilSaks Gabriel must have thought his approach was OK, so... There's an interview where Marotta expresses his displeasure about Katche not emulating his parts verbatim (I guess) on the material he originally played on. Anyway, I still don't see what is so bad about his drumming on this version of 'Red Rain'. Some of his hits/fills are a bit more off-kilter/muso on the verses, but he's still pretty much playing the pattern from the record.
"SO" was his last good studio album, in my opinion. I don't like anything he did in the studio after that, and I am sad about it. I still think he is a genius.
Good point. I'm towards that way of seeing it, too. IMO, his zenith as an artist was PG IV (Security). Maybe it would be fair to leave "Birdy" out of the discussion as it's mainly a flashback album. "So" was great, but I don't think it was as good s IV. After that, "Passion" was nice but not great, "Us" was mainly boring and the newer albums more and more boring. The celebrity and the activist got ahead of the artist.
Appreciated sober-minded pronunciation of musicians majority matured via their music. Someone or technician connected with musical instrument volume unchanged, paranoid as ever no one will pay attention the music instruments if they don't drown out everything else. Such assholes tempt me towards felonious assault fantasies
Having been a fan of Peter Gabriel since 1974, it was so exciting to see such a large crowd embrace him!

Still listen to it now.
U2 performed that day and Sting with the Police. Great show.
My god he has beautiful eyes, love this❤
I went to the L.A. stop at the forum and I went crazy when Peter Gabriel came on. He is amazing.

A SEMINAL MOMENT IN ROCK HISTORY....PERIOD.
Spot on! +1,000

I saw his first US appearance in NYC, 1971 with Genesis of course. He was very strange and androgynous.
Ian Stanley. Cool keyboards dude and setup.
Can’t believe I finally found this! I have lived with he audio for many years, recorded on tape from the original live feed! Now I see!
I was there holy crap he was amazing I'll see you on Monday peter

Thank you for this!!! I was at this 16 hour concert. Got burnt to a crisp in more ways than one!!
wasn't that the best?

my only disappointment from this show is that Pete Townshend had to cancel due to his father passing away right before
@@davidbenoit7818 I forgot about that! Thanks for reminding me!

Yo Estuve en el concierto del 10 de septiembre de 1988, este se celebro en el Camp Nou (F.C.Barcelona) . Impresionante.!!
Love you Peter
Thanks for posting this…..it’s awesome 👍🏼👏🏼
PG3 or Melty face is an awesome album. Every song is either great or great.
Check it out!
I was there!
me tooooo
can't believe I am just seeing this...incredible! I saw the Philly show at JFK
Me too magical night
That was a amazing show. JFK stadium at its finest. Never forget that night
Excellent -
Awesome show!!!!
In Your Eyes is from two years later. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights world tour.
so this performance of In Your Eyes is not from giants stadium???
@@I20cKeTMan It isn't no.
Still a powerful set in 2020! Except that “In Your Eyes” isn’t also from East Rutherford ‘86. Why the O/P decided to tack that on as being from the same set as the rest of the video, I don’t know.
35 Years ago today!
The song 'In your Eyes' had not been published yet by the time of this concert. Awesome nonetheless.
Ah, no, the So album came out over a month before this concert. In Your Eyes was released as a single two months later but it was already on So.
Sledgehammer is always my favorite.
💙🤩🌹👍
Sensational esp Family Snapshot and San Jacinto (even though he messed up one of the verses).
Martha Quinn ❤❤❤
Who are the horn players? One of them is Mark Rivera from Billy Joel's band?
Not sure, but it's interesting that the recorded version has trumpet & trombone and here it's 2 alto saxes & a tenor.
This would be obvious to any experienced musician that they were having trouble hearing themselves.
Oh,,,okay

I WANT MY MTV ! 1981-1996
Cool!!!!!
Slightly improved the video of this concert
Peter Gabriel is not one of the greatest.no.he is one of the highest.
Explaining lack of timestamps
Amazing stamina during Shock the Monkey
I love that song
I remember the show because my sister and I were there. It was a ridiculously hot day.
@@christopherdougherty9832 Came up from Texas, and recall how hot it was too.
Is there a reason why he had his wedding ring on a finger on his right hand? Random question I know but it's something I've noticed.
I've seen it on a right hand if you are widowed, or divorced. At this point he was still married, but possibly in the process of divorcing Jill. That's my best guess. You've got a good eye for noticing that little detail.
It is worn on the right hand in Europe
the rhythm guitar kinda messed up Red Rain...
Hrd hitting twice right corner???
Could they possibly all get back together to protest what is going on in SA now?
12:42 Please Can you tell me the name of his song ????😉
Family Snapshot. Brilliant song
@@JamesKovacic ok thank you😉!!!!!
I am trying to figure out who "Mr. Supersonic" from Chicago is from the band introductions. Was his name Gerald Jones? What did he play?
Bassist Darryl Jones. He was part of Sting's first solo band and is now a member of The Rolling Stones.
Whos in the bass?
Certainly not Tony Levin
According "Without Frontiers", it's Larry Klein (who played on Mercy Street) - Levin was on tour with Crimson
@@michaelchristie1974 And Joni Mitchell"s husband at the time
No Peter Frampton
@@michaelchristie1974 King Crimson was on hiatus 1984-1994, afaik, so there must be a different reason for his absence.
Who's the girl at the beginning?
MTV's Martha Quinn.
@@blerkhThanks.
In Red Rain is the drummer 'fighting' PG or is he emphasising an off-beat or something? The drumming seems a bit jarring.
Not fighting, but really bad drumming. Manu Katche sometimes really misses the feel.
@@EmilSaks Bad drumming? Are you kidding me? Katche's a brilliant drummer.
It's a different approach/arrangement than the one on 'So'. The percussion sequence it starts with, and which keeps going throughout, and that sort of funk guitar part heard on the verses are not there on the recorded version either.

Peter Gabriel the socialist frontman that was a gifted lost musician.
