    I used to live in Bath a lifetime ago. Lovely city. Im now in Tokyo and sometimes think about the morning light and the mist across the valley and of course the cider.

    I spent more time watching buskers on Beale St in Memphis than I did in bars listening to paid bands. Buskers are some of the most talented musicians you’ll ever have the pleasure to watch.
    This guy is fantastic.

    Particularly cool to me as a Canadian fan of Peter Gabriel, who only briefly visited the UK once about 50 years ago in my early teens, that this performance is actually happening in Bath, very likely within eyeshot of Solsbury Hill itself, on a clear day.

    This song is timeless. It sounds as fresh and relevant today as it did in 1977. Most songs you can tell by listening to them what decade it's from. This song 70's, 80's, 90's, 2000's?? if you didn't know you couldn't tell.
