The man who died, Jimi Hasalden, didn’t invent the Segway, but had not long since bought the company, when he died. Apparent cause of death was falling off a cliff while riding a Segway, in West Yorkshire, England.
@CaroVonAuersfeld well Gabriel marches around the stage during this song like a soldier from the Nazi regime from WWII...I've seen him live several times and brings his arm up as well, so he emulates their entire march and shows it on the video that plays in the backdrop ... he is making a statement with this song ..... i'm not promoting or trying to make any political statement , just observing what I see.
There is one politician at North American continent who like to send his army to many contires in the world to bring them democracy and other goods. So once that politician has fallen off a segway though its' inventor was sure that it's impossible. Using segway here is quite conformed to peaceful message of the tune.
I appreciate his music and performances more over Time. Never tire of watching his videos......just noticed his "Papal like" Wave toward the end, always a little odd. lol!
Folks have complained about the Segways? C'mon, people! Gabriel's been a showman since his Genesis days. What do you want him to do now? Sit in nice La-Z-Boys singing his hits? Great version of the song - waaaaaay back when in college a guy in my dorm would blast this song 1/2 hour before each scheduled final exam period. It would get us pumped before the exams (and wake up anybody who crashed while studying).
@frazerpmobrien My apologies. I assume you refer to Mayan long calender? Some say 12/22/2012 is end time? Or 23 as it were. Recently "discovered" brick as it were says he/she descends from the air? Or so those who study say? Said brick was installed backwards as if not meant to see? Or at least not to the commoners?
George Carlin said it best, "That's what I consider myself to be, an 'old fuck'. 'Old fuck' is a very special term. It's not like 'old man'. 'Old man' is different. 'Old man' isn't really a time in your life or a period of years. It's an attitude. 'Old man' is point of view. It's a way of lookin' at things. Some guys are 'old men' when they're in their twenties"...
@greaseman64 Peter Gabriel has always been a sucker for new technologies, so it's no wonder he used a Segway. And like Cassiel pointed out, it could very well be a reference to the Segway accident. Ironically, the company owner died last month from a Segway accident over a cliff...
@bigrider2806 K, get the English references in a way, my apologies. Nutter, barking mad, etc. Slowly getting it if you will. I assume then a nutter is a full-blown whack-a-loon? Apologies, I coined that one, actually. Part US/Canadian slang if you will?
@VirgilwithanE The album version dates back to 1980 dude, of course it doesn't sound as good as a modern recording! However, I still prefer the original, it was more creative in terms of sonic experimentations, and also had a more playful feel.
Peter Gabriel is a Great singer and I think he has a big imagination to presents his shows to the world (e.g: ovo tour) . graserman64 i think he was trying to relate the game with that, I can imaging them playing as children, it could be a possibility.
@cutta1966 I guess so. I saw video many years ago. It's about innocent kids playing "WAR" and kids will play with anyone, regardless of race. It seemed like innocent song to me about playing a game of pretend.
@jatdesi13 lovely song would like to dedicate this song to a beautiful girl Nita , whom i travel with to office - she has saved my life unkowingly , wishing to marry her but my past is stoping me from asking her out
@Cassiel2007 Well, it IS Games without Frontiers, and the original Game without Frontiers was a weird game show in France, according to Wikipedia. So may be he's keeping with the weirdness of the game itself.
@frazerpmobrien My bad, took a sec for me to get the humor, reference, etc. I know, have less time than that my friend, remain aware I do. Tipping point looms quickly. But thank you for noticing, saying?
@bigrider2806 We're all toast in 5 years, we got zero shot at reversing warming, US, CHINA will cast second glance as to green, as for Pete? Well old man as some say, well????
Great tune. We piss on ? The point is "If looks could kill they'd probably will.....war without tears" Too much hate in the world/no true care for fellow man.
i love the idea with the segways.. let's the old coot pull of some sweet quick moves without causing a heart attack. and some 20 years after listening to this song i finally realize the one line i could never figure out is actually in french, not english. thanks youtube comments!
@atoosas This show was called "Jeux sans frontières" (Games without frontiers in french), which is what he sings in the "chorus" that was sung by Kate Bush in the original version. The show has been adapted in the UK with the title "It's a knockout!"
@Songs4LovesGods Indeed, this is SO great! May I offer why this is so great? Nearly 4 decades ago, my friends looked not at race, color, creed. We knew in 1976 when I was 18 we are all human, nothing else. "dressing up in costumes, playin silly games". We did that and laughed about it.
@SuperAWaC This video is taken from the "Still growing up live" DVD which, unlike the regular "Growing up live" DVD, is indeed made up of footage shot at various venues throughout Europe. I have both DVDs and though the "Still..." one contains some of my personal favorites that he rarely plays live, I prefer the regular one which is much better in terms of visual show.
Worried, really worried I remain here. This is great video, great song and the focal point remains a Seg? The man has some age? Oh my, really worried who cares for me when I get old.
I love Peters art. Some people are musicians but Peter Gabriel is an artist who uses his music as a backdrop. We need more people like him. If you're not pissing 1/3 of your audience off then your artistic message needs to be reconsidered.
One of the greatest showmen in the history of Rock 'N Roll.
I'm sorry but the Segways rolling around the stage is totally Spinal Tap-ish.
Of course it is! It's a Peter Gabriel set piece!
You got to remember Segways came out round about then,Gabriel was so avant garde then, must have blown there minds.
This was such an amazing looking show..
He's a genius.. He knows exactly what the visuals should be for his music..
Peter Gabriel is a great singer, and has a big imagination to presents his shows.
I remeber going to the bar right after a horrible day of work for a beer and some food and this was on the TV , I was like " is that fucking peter gabriel on a segway?!?" Made my night ...
I like the segways and his facial expressions. These separate musician from those who are artists who use the musical spectrum to express themselves.
Well, I kicked the habit, and shed my skin, 8 days off dope, and benzos, and methadone, and cigarettes.
Guess he wanted to look like a robot, and he knows that a Segway is the best way to achieve that.
This is pretty cool. That whole (1980) album is great.
LoL, I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought Kate Bush was singing "She's so popular" when they were a kid... =P
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I can't believe peter gabriel can rock a segway
Why not segway? I think it's fun. I am surprised he could do it straightfaced.

I don't like the way the clips are edited together!!...Too jerky. Bad sound quality too
I love the absurdity of it!
Peter Gabriel is the epitome of cool. He could care less what any of us think about "riding a segway" WHO GIVES A SH--!! The music is awesome!
Peter reminds me of Uncle Fester on the Addams Family!
one of the best "chilling", "exciting", "brilliant" song. always give me the feeling of "war is coming"
very Gabriel,very brilliant
I rode a Segway once and it's really hard! I would've driven it off of the stage and into the front row!! 😂😂😂
The inventor of Segway actually drove off a cliff and died on one in Ca.
+Paul Sowinski Yes, I've heard that 😳
Paul Sowinski not true
The man who died, Jimi Hasalden, didn’t invent the Segway, but had not long since bought the company, when he died. Apparent cause of death was falling off a cliff while riding a Segway, in West Yorkshire, England.
Now every time I see a Segway I'm gonna think of Peter Gabriel.
Awesome song and performance. This clip actually made me buy the DVD.
Wow...he is one of the most...if not the most..brilliant performance artists of all time..in addition to being such an interesting composer...
Mel's got really similar eyes, never noticed that before.
Jay Trader yes she has her father's eyes
Peter's daughter looks like Peter when he was in Genesis
Watch out Peter .The guy who owned the Segway company died a slapstick death on one of his own machines ........crash bang wallop .... amen.........
@CaroVonAuersfeld well Gabriel marches around the stage during this song like a soldier from the Nazi regime from WWII...I've seen him live several times and brings his arm up as well, so he emulates their entire march and shows it on the video that plays in the backdrop ... he is making a statement with this song ..... i'm not promoting or trying to make any political statement , just observing what I see.

So once that politician has fallen off a segway though its' inventor was sure that it's impossible. Using segway here is quite conformed to peaceful message of the tune.
He is so amaazing that guy. He is my favorite singer!!!! I am a fan of him!!!!
I appreciate his music and performances more over Time. Never tire of watching his videos......just noticed his "Papal like" Wave toward the end, always a little odd. lol!
@lownbreezy1 Hey, He's old. Might not be able to walk that far.
PETER GABRIEL - Games without Frontiers 2003 ces bien et ces cool pour les 2 guerre mondiale nous Frontiers
@AroundTheRegion Would u pls explain what u mean with "NAZI" in this context?? Germany anyway isn´t NAZI, trust me...it isn´t NAZI since 1945...
Folks have complained about the Segways? C'mon, people! Gabriel's been a showman since his Genesis days. What do you want him to do now? Sit in nice La-Z-Boys singing his hits?

Segway, the ultimate prosthetic god. Thank you Freud!

Great tune. We piss on ? The point is "If looks could kill they'd probably will.....war without tears" Too much hate in the world/no true care for fellow man.
looks like this was cut from several performances... unless i am crazy and they have clones playing on different stages at the same time.
@Psalm696969 lol, I'm aware of what decade the song's from. And I agree with you there, the record version DOES sound more "active"
@greaseman64 What do u mean with "alternative GERMAN dance"??? Bavarian folk dance???
Man's got style.
@Nercrophage
That's because he's the only one who can make doing that, look more than interesting!
@patphatcat Yeah, that's what I hear also. Other racists use this part of the song to stir thoughts.
I thought it was she's so popular also, but it's Jeux san frontieres."
LOL That looks like fun!
@greaseman64: He was pretending to be a child (since kids ride things like Segways!)
That drummer is badass
She's so funky, Yeah!!
I like how his daughter moves roboticaloy
listen to the song or has been pinkflloydsguitarist made you slightly deaf?
Absolute Awesome.
Great song and good show. Love it. Peter is the best.
that's just..ahh....
odd and sort of stupid
ya
einer der besten Musiker unserer Zeit!^^
@lownbreezy1 just because you cant afford one dont dis on the man!
i challenge everybody to find somebody cooler than peter gabriel
@greaseman64 zeitgeist....it was the latest thing, years ago!
segways are friggin' hilarious and peter gabriel knows that.
Omg how did I miss this all these years!
It sounds so much better in this key. And I love how Tony Levin just takes a picture at the end of the song.
oh shit, scribbles the juggalo
@jazzybest What the "hack" has "happed" to your english?
Oh course. It's meant to be creepy as war is creepy...
STILLLLLLL KILLING IT...GOD LOVE HIM..
Games without Frontiers (Live)
His daughter looks just like him.
Coming out on a Segway? Really? So lame
the segways are so stupid, very gabriel
If looks could kill, they probably will.........
@coverchenko why was that banned?
A song about video games....?
this concert remind me of stanley
kubrick.
What was the point of the segway "dance"?
@bigrider2806 Yes, and your point remains?
Can't understand what they are singing.
@bigrider2806 You refer to me or Pete?
That's us - the human race. I'm sorry.
i love the idea with the segways.. let's the old coot pull of some sweet quick moves without causing a heart attack. and some 20 years after listening to this song i finally realize the one line i could never figure out is actually in french, not english. thanks youtube comments!

This is awesome...

his daughter is sweet, i think!
that would've been more entertaining if the segway crashed.
Grasshole? More like s***hole
I love Peters art.
Some people are musicians but Peter Gabriel is an artist who uses his music as a backdrop. We need more people like him. If you're not pissing 1/3 of your audience off then your artistic message needs to be reconsidered.
Holy Autotune, Batman!
