I dislike a lot of the production on his albums from the 1970s and 1980s. They are of their time I guess and helped him get his work heard as it was recorded for the tastes of the time. This song in particular is not well served by the arrangements on the first album. I love this version.

I bought PG's first album when it came out in '77, and saw him on tour in Toronto on support of that album. Absolutely a brilliant concert, and I still like that album, but I have to say that I have never ever gone back to that album's bloated version of this song. To me it sounds so much more powerful and beautiful with a stripped down texture like this. The version on Exposure is brilliant, and Pete's solo version that opens up the concert on the 2003 Growing Up tour is equally stunning.

From Peter's first solo album recorded a few years before this performance. Like the following 3 albums this one was entitled "Peter Gabriel." Sometimes referred to as "Car" because that's what's in the cover shot. The whole disc is worth checking out.
@ottokerner43253 жыл бұрын
This version is closer to the re-recorded version of the song, which can be found on the sampler "Shaking the Tree - 16 Golden Greats". The original recording on Peter Gabriel 1 is suffering from too much "orchestral syrup".

Songwriting style has changed SO much in the last 40 years. This is poetry and really tells a story. Today, it is all about use of vowel sounds as big catchy hooks.
@creamydistortion3 жыл бұрын
Well, there are a lot of people who write clever, heartfelt lyrics... But they don't get exposure... The bars & high school dances stopped using bands, in favor of generic DJs, back in the 90's. This really suppressed local talent. If artists can't get local support, they have no chance of building a fanbase are eventually breaking into the mainstream... It's a complicated situation, but a lot of the blame truly does belong to lame bar owners and school administrators. They did this deliberately. Just one example of the countless ways in which Westerners (and particularly Americans) routinely sabetoge their own people... There are better opportunities for musicians in Asian countries, just like there are better job opportunities in general. It's all interconnected.

Ay-yee! A Yamaha CP-70! I played in a band with one of those bastards in the early 80s, and still have nightmares about dragging it up and down the stairs of the Rock Garden in London! I believed it weighed in at slightly over 70Kgs per bit! In other news, the song was great!
@creamydistortion3 жыл бұрын
I think this one is a cp-80... (88 keys)... Yes, they're incomparable. Yamaha owns the copyright, obviously, and they always include a digital copy on their newer keyboards, but nothing like the real thing. I bought a CP-30 in Alaska and used it for loads of gigs. It was about half the weight of the 70/80... It was more Fleetwood Mac-y in tone. Add a little compression and it really cut through. My roommate once met me after a gig, at 3 in the morning. He sniffed a big line of yakity-yakk and carried the keyboard up four flights of stairs by himself! ;-)

Red Rain is an opening to the waste possibilities of world music becaming pop the same as the musical box the Knife or just can utility and coastliners it was a new blood from peter gabriel
