Yes that s me June 27 2024 and Peter is GREAT❤❤❤
I remember climbing Solsbury Hill above Batheaston. I was 8 years old in 1975 and it was a special place then. I was sent to boarding school locally at 7 years old and this was a place to escape when on half term break. I'll soon be home' means a lot.
A perfect mix of 7/4 and 4/4 rhythm. Difficult to play, extremely creative to write it. A huge compliment to all musicians, and the biggest praise goes to Peter. One of my all-time favorites.
God this is beautiful. 40 years later and it's still absolute perfection.

He says the song is about his exit from Genesis. Then I look at his name Peter who was the head apostle and Gabriel who was the head Angel. It's hard to get more biblical than that!😂
We all want to go home. This song takes us there..

sad to know your son has passed away but that song is about being in Solsbury Hill a place known forUFOS...he is writing about the experience of being in that mountain waiting for an UFO to come and maybe take him for a ride back home
Peter Gabriel, gran voz.... muy profunda y letras maravillosas..., caracas, Venezuela.
No one knew what they were witnessing at this concert if I could go back in time
You really are something to observe, Peter!
Timeless and classic song. Sounded beautiful in 1977 when I was ten years old. Still beautiful today and I’m 53 years old.

Hey, I said You can keep my things They've come to take me home 💜
I love being able to look at these early performances!
O my lord, 28-year old Peter Gabriel 💖 such an old spirit in your voice, the deepness, and versatility...
I love that guitar riff.
the most perfect song
Super !!!
He's one of those rare talents whose performances can feel slightly dangerous. I've always liked that in an artist.
I really love how hard he tries so that the audience has angood time! No matter how old he gets or whatever! His audience is so important to him! Plus he’s a nut! I love that!

Pienamente d'accordo con te...
In "the musical box" documentary about Genesis, Peter Gabriel said that he was happy and relieved when he heard the "A trick of the tail" album, as it it showed that the band would be perfectly capable of continuing without him and that Phil was doing a STELLAR job singing. Which is why this song has that lyric of "Today I don't need a replacement, I told them what the smile on my face meant!" It was a big thumbs up to his former band mates "Well done chaps!"

Not quite. When he wrote this... Solsbury Hill is an intense, brutally honest and angry song -that's what's so cool about it And the line you just mentioned (at the time that he wrote it) was actually more of a "f*** you" -to his (former) band mates AND anyone saying he couldn't be (what he'd be) without Genesis. He couldn't (not even possibly) sing this song in the last 30 + years the way he wrote it, because he did great (solo) and got over any/all of the stuff he was writing about here. I love how (obviously on the album, not live so much) each verse gets angrier; those feelings are so many decades behind him that this song for a LONG time has been more if a happy/sing-a-long. If there was a "well done mates" it came much later.

@@jlwilder8436 The angry side of the song was directed to the music critics who wrote him off as a traitor and saboteur. That he had no squabble with his former band mates was proven when Phil Played on "Peter Gabriel III" and how Tony and Mike have since told how Peter showed up at the "A trick of the tail" sessions just to say hello and hear how things were going. As I said before, Peter found the stuff they came up with really good.

@@RastaSaiyaman that makes good enough sense to me. I don't know why (over half a year ago) I seemed to make it sound like it was aimed at his former band. Maybe because, in my head, reflecting on the contrast between Peter's unique solo work, and (Phil-led) Genesis' very pop centric stuff that followed, it almost seemed like there had to be some tension in their split... I'm just glad they did split, though, because it seems like they were both best at what they did post Peter's Genesis.

@@jlwilder8436 That's a complete and utter rubbish. He always stayed close to his former band mates (they were friends since post high school days) and this most definitely was not a FU to them. The complete exhaustion from the touring of 1975 and then the difficult birth of his daughter is what was the main cause of him going solo. The lyrics are more about his own doubts about surviving his life outside of the old band. Nothing to do with his old mates. This is like with The Beatles, people come up with all sorts of crazy stories, when in fact the real life is far less dramatic.
The raw energy of this performance is mind-blowing!
I think the best live performance of this song I've seen.
The voice of GABE is like no other...SIMPLY AMAZING !!!
Does not get better than this!
I had no idea how old the song was, brilliant!
It's great! a great man.... Peter Gabriel 👍
BEAUTIFUL SONG! ❤️
Ma chanson préférée, Depuis 1977, ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤, A La VIE.
wonderful!
Everything is there, he is young, cute, almost arrogant by his relaxation, his ease and already a lot of charisma in his interpretation! With time it is like good wine, it improves, improves, always extremely well surrounded with excellent musicians, it has proven to the whole world its immense creative talent, it has known how to survive the times and remains a sure value of music!
Brilliant
Love it...

Play time ❤❤❤
Such a voice of authority even then. And genius, at an age as young as that, is a skill undervalued
My heart going....
The guy playing the acoustic played that absolutely on point the entire way through and he makes it look so easy but in fact it’s a pretty complicated Travis picking riff that I’m trying to play now, which is what brought me to this video. I can’t quite get it yet but this guy just bangs it out as if it’s nothing. Such an amazing riff and amazing song. Love it!

I was born 1978. I grew up to and love Peter's music till today. He helped trouhgh hard times, never let me his music cold. He's like a priest, healing with his music. I hope that you have still many years, and that I get that that chance to witness you live in Germany some day. Iwould love to invite my mother to a concert of you. Blessings.

I like how youre speaking to the imaginary crowd first and then switch to speaking to Peter Gabriel as if hes reading himself. Funny. Dunno if you noticed but the healing properties of music arent unique to just one artist. If hes like a priest then all musicians are like priests. Except priests dont heal anyone, just fiddle with kids but I get your meaning.
This is my moms favourite song! (Pretty cool 😎) . Music/ lyrics are amazing, Got a good music teacher! Thanks mom 😘🙏🎸🎤
Easily the best version of this song ever.
