Yes! Great observation! That IS impressive! As for the troll comment about pre recorded, dude! Move out of your parent's basement and begin living your life with purpose. The dissemination of negative energy never ends well for the distributor. Best of luck to you on your journey of spiritual awakening my friend. Baby steps. One little adjustment of vibrational amplification each week. Stay focused and let love into your life. You'll be amazed at how much happier you'll feel and how much brighter the world now appears. Source allows for complete freedom of choice, you can opt for darkness and dystopian narratives, or you can go with light, love, and tolerance for all you encounter. I'd recommend the latter path, it has a much higher ceiling. The dark road is a dead end, an environment of suspicion, hate, self interest, and intolerance. Its apathetic, cynical, and has deceived itself in the belief of the supremacy of the egoic construct that sees Ego as separate from the Interconnected Oneness of the Everything. Good luck my brother.

exactly this is astonishing, I was thinking the same thing
Peter Gabriel still sounds the same at 73 just as he did in his younger years. He's an amazing performer. He can keep the audience raving. Liked him in Genesis too. This song is decades old but I still listen to it at 66yrs old in 2024. Peter Gabriel really captures the mood with his incredible talent 👏 😍. Keep on playing Peter Gabriel with your excellent music. 👏
Seriously....how is it even remotely possible that Peter Gabriel is 73 and Tony Levin is 76???? These guys possess chops and skills that put players twenty years younger to shame! True inspirations and legends!

I agree. Levin, however in my experience with him in 1987, in music school and later in the late 2000s where he played a few shows in Baltimore in a studio I built he was basically a jerk talking shit about other musicians he was hired to perform with.

Met Levin in 84 after their KC show in Vancouver. I was outside the theatre hoping to ask Fripp a question. Tony emerged from the building first, he had a female companion, and was munching on an apple. Me : you're great! Him : thanks man! He then extends his arm and we shook hands. I wasn't there to talk to him but you always remember how encounters with important artists went. If they were positive, you stay a fan of the person for life. If it was negative, you no longer pay attention to their work. My encounters with a handful of culturally significant people have been predominantly positive. The only negative event was with a Canadian comedian Brent Butt. He was off my radar after that day. Anyways...ya. Gabriel's voice is remarkable for someone 73 years old!

About 20 years ago, Tony and his band (pretty much Peter’s touring band) played at a small club that I’d worked at. He actually doesn’t live far from the city I was in. They were the nicest people you could meet. I’m a bass player, so it was a big deal for me meeting him. He signed my copy of Bass Player with him in the cover. He let me try out his gear. At the end of the night we all went to the bar on the first floor and just talked about music, it was fantastic. After they had left, the tour manager came back in with an armful of Tony’s CD’s and said “We almost forgot, Tony wanted you to have these”. A perfect ending to the evening. Thank you Mr. Levin for spending that time with all of us and for giving me some outstanding memories.

A mere spring chicken compared to Mick Jagger...and nowhere near as fit or in shape. As for the "dancing"....Reminds me of that Steve Martin movie...
Two things astound me. 1: the quality of Peter Gabriel’s voice at 73, and 2: Tony Levin looking exactly like he did 35 yrs ago.
It's not just that he can still bring it but that he just has no fear. Man what a role model for anyone at that stage of life. He is the Hammer.
It's amazing to see Peter at 73 pulling this off with this level of quality. Really shines a sad light on poor Phil Collins' condition. We all age at different speeds.

Peter was the tortise and Phil was the hare. Phil just completely burned himself out and then took really poor care of himself on his time off. Which stinks, because Phil was still 90% his old self in 2007. Less than a decade later and he wasn't even half that. Bums me out.

You wouldn't know it to look at him, but you sure as hell know it is him when he sings. My God...he sounds like the record. This is an amazing performance.
He still has it and so does Tony Levin. He is such a legend. I had the opportunity to see him twice back in the 1980's and I was blown away. My hubby is a great fan of his and Genesis since he was a teenager. He has such great taste in music. I met Tony Levin when he played with Frampton and he was so nice, kind and funny. I might add handsome too. I spoke with him for 15 minutes.

Peter Gabriel looks and moves like a older man now, but wow, he sings like he hasn't aged a day since this song was first released! Fantastic! :D
As long as you're not suffering from something physically catastrophic, talent does not stop aging, the growth is continual. These guys are a testament....

I'm not really a Peter Gabriel fan, but this performance is simply incredible. It was like I just turned on the radio and was listening to it. It just goes to show that the music 40 years ago is STILL better than 99% of the music today. These "older" musicians have earned their keep. They all play REAL instruments. These are REAL songs. The deserve the utmost respect. Today's musicians pale in comparison as to what music and talent really is.
