I saw part of that here on YT! He did "Sledgehammer" and blew me away with how strong his vocals and energy were...

There was a hilarious moment, when between two songs a girl from the audience shouted ''Peter I love you!'' P.G. said, "I think I asked you to be discreet''. Then, in the next break a group of guys shouted all together, PETER WE LOVE YOU ! He said, ''And I have asked YOU to be even more discreet ! '' LOL !

@@TomWatsonB1 You must understand that no one necessarily saying Gabriel is lacking for talent. The production quality here is excellent and he is unquestionably a great performer. However, the lyrics to this throwaway track are absurd, and to elaborately mime the movements of a primate without a hint of irony? He comes off looking like a member of The Wiggles. Now you may very well be The Wiggles' biggest fan, so I'm sorry if that critique hits a little too close to home; but the only way Gabriel could redeem this very dated part of his catalogue would be to say that he and the band put it together while in the midst of a week-long cocaine binge and that the dance moves were an elaborate tongue-in-cheek test to see whether those lacking in taste (that'd be you) would actually accept it unflinchingly.

3:06 Manu's drumming was so epic that even the bass couldn't handle it

Peter Gabriel is my spirit animal. Absolute genius.

I remember crying when Gabriel left Genesis...he was my first musical hero and really I knew no better and thought he would never be seen again... Thankfully having seen him countless times as a solo artist his music is timeless and every concert was a joy...

I ended up helping another guy to carry out a girl who was being crushed to death and screaming that she couldn’t breath.

Une des meilleures chansons de Peter Gabriel, accompagnées de musiciens de haut vol. Grandiose. C'est juste exemplaire. Une des meilleures performances live de Peter Gabriel.

OMG... Peter is just awesome...! Tony Levin ! ! Never noticed how close Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel are when it comes to singing voices

8 years earlier, his would-be friend and collaborator got the audio engineer for her tour to take a small radio mic, put it on a wire coat hanger that was twisted out of shape, and give her for most of the show so she could sing while she danced, creating, in a rather DIY fashion, the first wireless head mic to be used extensively during a live stage show. I see Peter made a great use of what made its pretty humble (but respected!) start in Kate Bush's tour... I wonder what it would've been like of it had already existed at the time of The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, with Peter wearing all those heavy costumes...

Dynamic sounding vocal and lyric creativity. The instrumental supports the lyrics and vocal and sounds amazing...

What a performance, and he doesn't even look puffed at the end! Incredible.
