Peter is soft spoken yet his words are powerful.

I've never seen Peter Gabriel on late night tv. Such class and funny. He's got an interesting sense of humor, but most of his music seems so emotional and in touch with the soul.

Was fortunate enough to see him recently in Boston. He, Tony Levin, David Rhodes and Manu Katché are still at the top of their game, and the latest members of the band are super talented.

I was at that concert, too!! An amazing show!!

the man is up there with Lennon/McCartney, Brian Wilson, Harry Nilsson, Jeff Lynn as far as songwriting and singing ability. one of my heroes. listen to The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway by Genesis and you will understand what i mean.

the Lamb is my favorite album of all time along with "Selling England" This guy and actually Genesis were probably the most talent any band has packed. Look at what came out of the band, Peter Gabriel and Phil Solo careers, Mike and The Mechanics, Bankstatement and then Tony Banks "Still", and the much overlooked but extremely talented solo career of Steve Hackett. Not to forget even Anthony Phillips has released over 15 albums, and if you really want to hear fabulous music, listen to "The Geese and the Ghost" album of his, which is a masterpiece in it's own right. And then here was Genesis that continued through the 90's. Amazing achievement by this group of characters.

@@steelydan133 , so true. how fascinating it would be if all 5 of the guys from Selling and The Lamb, got back together and did something of an album together, or just Tony and Peter if all 5 is asking too much? Tony's keyboard songwriting and playing on all those albums is remarkable and Peter's mutli instrumental (piano, flute) songwriting, lyrical , and vox abilities are up there with Lennon, Bowie, Brian Wilson....i would die to here it

@@owlperchedsilo3745 Agree, the reason I have always admired Genesis was that their lyrics were always very intellectual, like works of art, with emotions not directly out there but it makes you think what the song maybe about. Lamb itself can have so many interpretations, and so does Supper's Ready or The Musical Box. It's very high class fiction, and their Public School upbringing where you can't express your emotions directly had a lot to do with that and hence it appeals to a certain audience. The emotions are more expressed in the music. Awesome band

I was shocked when Dave acted like he didn't know Peter was talking about THE Genesis being his old band, but he was just playing clueless interviewer. Whenever he did an interview with a musician, they were either currently number one or Dave was a fan and wanted to talk to them.

It looked to me like Dave had done his homework and was waiting for PG to say Garden Wall which was one half of what became Genesis. The other half was The Anon.

Pete!

I thought that was the title of a new song 😅

Wasn't that the title of one of his albums?

It's strange that Peter responded to Dave saying that the name of his first group was Genesis. In fact, he was in several bands before Genesis, including Garden Wall. Did he just somehow forget about all that by the time of this interview?

Garden Wall never got a record deal, so maybe not worth mentioning, plus Tony was in it, which led to Genesis soon. The first band of any significance was Genesis.

Horrible interview- Dave was so ignorant. He couldn’t even get the facts presented about children right. Also, he also got involved with the human rights campaign fairly early in his career- Dave seemed to imply it was a recent endeavor. He presented a picture of Peter’s performance art wearing a dress but doesn’t let him explain. Dave is possibly the most overrated talk show host ever.
