PETER GABRIEL - No Self Control LIVE VIDEO | FIRST TIME COUPLE REACTION (BMC Request)

[@TheGungunnerson]

Kate Bush is on backing vocals and Phil Collins features on the drums in the album version which is definitely worth reacting to, and also is one of the two songs (including The Intruder) that débuted the gated reverb effect for the drums that made "in the Air Tonight" famous.

[@Oron-n5l]

The original, studio version of "No Self Control" is much more fundamentally violent-sounding, so Peter Gabriel's decision to replace sonic violence with ingenious physical stage violence was brilliant. Other acts had bigger, more elaborate Light Shows in their concerts, especially Genesis, but the world had never before seen or conceived of what Peter would do with four simple Varilight heads on long stalks. Do listen to the original of this song. Then look for the soundtrack album that Peter did for the film, "Birdy", using the same basic songs from his 3rd and 4th albums. You won't even recognize many of the tracks. --OronOfMontreal

[@chrisb.2178]

When it comes to live performances it doesn't get any better than Peter Gabriel. Saw him 3 times live ....just fantastic.

[@vicarageroad]

Try watching the first track from the live “Secret World” video “Come Talk to Me” all about the break up of Gabriel’s first marriage. It will blow your socks off, not just the song but the staging, incredible!!

[@stephenderraugh5248]

FYI. CTtM is about his daughter, Melanie, and the breakdown of communication in her teens.

[@eaglesrule1415]

Incredible show. Saw in Toronto in summer of 93.

[@Oron-n5l]

If you continue to watch this video, immediately following "No Self Control", the band plays Peter's elegy to U.S. poet Ann Sexton, who after decades of suffering Depression, committed suicide. Peter's brilliant lyrics are poetry themselves, encompassing quotes of Sexton's own poetry. But it is the dramatic live performance that will break your hearts, pulling you deep within his world (and Ann's). Keep watching those Varilights, too! I saw this in Montreal and in Ottawa, in 1986. --OronOfMontreal

[@markjohnson4217]

Peter Gabriel is tbe only performer who was attacked by the lighting rig, Lol!! Another astonishing Gabriel moment is Lay Your Hands on Me, live in Athens. He falls onto the audience and is lying on a bed of hands and he gets carried very far out by all the grasping hands, he keeps his body rigid so that he won't collapse and get trampled, he just gets pulled along in every direction until security manages to pull him in, it is truly a legendary moment..

[@carlosjavier-ux2ig]

Lay your hands on me is my favourite song from this concert. And he loses his white jacket in the crowd. 😅

[@hape3778]

That crowd surfing was probably part of every concert on that tour... at least it was seen in Helsinki too (did keep his jacket on though - if I recall it correctly). My friend was able to touch PG while that surf - he swore he wouldn't wash his hand ever. I believe he unfortunately wasn't able to keep that promise😁. Absolutely one of the best gigs I've ever witnessed.

[@eaglesrule1415]

@@hape3778 So memorable.

[@robertjewell9727]

Yeah, I saw this tour in D.C. which included the attacking lamps, which returned for the performance of Mercy Street and it still ranks in the top 5 concerts I've ever seen. A truly sublime experience.

[@jimled50jl49]

Hi Guys, so nice to actually see a live video of Peter Gabriel. His live performances are always something special. Seen him above the stage walking upside down on video on track "Downside Up". He had his daughter with him singing. It is on u.t. Amazing ! This video of him much earlier and younger is so good to see. I love the fact he did the song live with a totally different feel and arrangement. I'm sure he could have recreated the studio version, but the fact he chose not to, just shows the brilliance of the man. You just don't know what he is going to do next when live on stage. So lucky you got to see him. This was great, thankyou for showing. Byee Jim X

[@davidgale7384]

Gabriel always has a great live show. Saw him in Ottawa... exceptional.

[@pamelawatson2366]

He's been my secret crush for nearly 50 years. His presence is still unsettling.

[@TheReaperMan275]

Peter is one of a kind. Great singer and great sense for the theatrics.

[@carlosruiz-ob7le]

Queridos Nick y Alexia, agradecido por reaccionar a este tema en vivo de mi querido Peter Gabriel. Tuve la oportunidad de verlo en Argentina, cuando formò parte de la gira de Amnesty Internacional del año 1988, y quedè sorprendido cuando tocaron este tema. Fue un antes y un despuès para mì con Peter. Artisticamente lo tengo en lo màs alto, pero no habìa tenido oportunidad de ver lo que es capaz de hacer en vivo. Con mis 62 años a cuestas, sigue siendo un mojòn para mì, Asì que verlos a Uds. reaccionar y sorprenderse me identificò, como tantas otras veces. Saludos desde Patagonia Argentina.

[@JohnMacRae23]

Gabriel = master songwriter, master showman and theatrics... I've seen him 8 times over the years, and no other artist comes close live. This concert film was shot/produced by Martin Scorsese btw. Please watch San Jacinto from the Secret World Tour (it's Gabriel at his peak performance wise IMO).

[@DougGrant-eu3iv]

Great reaction to a great tour. You have to watch 'Lay Your Hands on Me' from this show. It's stunning!!!

[@slipperyman216]

Phil played drums on the studio version. Peter was into not using cymbals and soon after Phil took the idea for In the air tonight

[@rmac8008]

I’ve seen every PG tour Each one is a unique experience

[@marcg.9039]

Thank you for reviewing this live video!

[@eaglesrule1415]

Loved the reaction. This was second concert ever. Gabriel fan for life since. The Forum in Montreal was life changing concert. I saw Secret World in Toronto in summer of 1993 and just as good in a different way. As you pointed out its his stage presence. At times it's like watching a theatre production. Gabriel released album So and Genesis just released Invisible Touch. This and the Station? album are only 2 Genesis albums I never listen to but in fairness they made a pile of dough. This whole concert is this good(and better) with songs like Mercy Street and Lay Your Hands on Me as major highlights. Worth checking out in full for sure. Fun time👍👍❤

[@Rolling_Ronnie]

Saw him recently and we still have Tony Levin, Manu Katche, and David Rhodes in the band!!

[@santiago77920]

He is "The Voice" I saw him back in the mid 70's This was way before he became popular. He could really command a stage and his show was absolutely stunning. With the highlight being "Lay your hands on me" as he fell into the arms of the crowd. As he was carried up to the center break of the theater, A fan in the crowd was waiting there dressed as a flower. Just like he used to dress for Genesis. He gave him a big embrace.

[@pegasus00]

Phil Collins played drums on a lot of this album. Peter told him not to use cymbals. So Collins new sound was instigated by Gabriel on his album and Phil ran with it and changed it to fit his solo stuff and Genesis.

[@lorcazola]

12:45......SO Peter Gabriel is walking down my isle, I'm about 4-5 seats away from Peter Gabriel and he has a little drum he is beating as he and his band walk by to the stage. They are playing "The Rhythm of the Heat" off of the Security album. You know that part when Gabriel is howling in the song ? That's when he gets on stage....That is how the 1982 show started....@ The Civic Auditorium in San Francisco.

[@semchen9]

I too was there in San Francisco.😊

[@Pirates_of_the_Underground_I]

Manu Katché (drums) and Tony Levin, are always an awesome rhythm section 🙂. Very Percussive song, really liked it LIVE. Been awhile to hear this song and album.

[@jameswarner5809]

Kate Bush performs backing vocals on the album version.

[@johncampbell756]

The album version personnel: Peter Gabriel - lead vocals Kate Bush - backing vocals David Rhodes - guitar Robert Fripp - guitar John Giblin - bass guitar Dick Morrissey - saxophone Larry Fast - synthesizers, processing Phil Collins - drums Morris Pert - percussion It does sound somewhat different. If you are having issues hearing yourself talk, if the music isn't playing, just remove the headphones, or at least one side.

[@63MGB1]

Wow, yeah, the live version is cool but really disappointing if expecting the album version.

[@greggibson33]

All time genius in the house........

[@scottanderson8420]

There is only one Peter Gabriel what a great performance from a great band. I have always loved Peter Gabriel’s solo works the most. Great request Joe and a perfect reaction, so glad you did the live. The original recording is also a must listen. I wish I had been there, maybe in an alternate life in a parallel universe. Ya never know 😳🤔

[@sheldonhowells3083]

Great performance! I would highly recommend also taking a listen to the original studio version of this song (Peter Gabriel 3) which includes backing vocals by Kate Bush.

[@richarddobson815]

A great request Joe. I hadn't seen this before so I'm very happy! Peter often played around a lot with arrangements and this version is much smoother and jazzier than the studio version on Peter Gabriel 3, which is much more edgy and spiky. A great album that definitely separated him from the crowd at that time (1980).

[@eaglesrule1415]

Well said. The theatrics of this entire performace are next level. Worth a watch start to finish.

[@TheRealTomWendel]

The great drummer, Manu Katche! PG’s first four self-titled albums (Rainy windshield, Scratch, Melt, and Security) are filled with amazing material. You can really see his evolution culminating in “So” and “Us”. Around the time of “Melt” he started writing from a rhythm track and using a Linn drum machine. This was a revolution from more traditional songwriting. The stage shows became increasingly elaborate and artistic as he started to employ and collaborate with sophisticated visual artists. The live album that came after “Security” was a big step. The Athens show that was in this video was a next step, and the videos from the “Secret World” tour (following the release of “Us”) is a real high point.

[@eaglesrule1415]

Agreed👍

[@Pirates_of_the_Underground_I]

Manu, one of my fave drummers. Great style, and with Levin . . . on another level.

[@TheRealTomWendel]

@@Pirates_of_the_Underground_IManu, Collins, Bruford, Narada, Jack DeJohnette, Max, Blakey, Elvin, Tony Williams, Michael Shrieve. There’s my rough top ten not necessarily in order. Some days it looks a little different.

[@semchen9]

I started seeing Live, both Peter Gabriel, and of course, separately, Genesis, in 1978. To Their, My, initial Impressions, in a Moment. First, here, a few Corrections. The Four (Anthony Phillips, Peter Gabriel, Michael Rutherford, and Tony Banks, Schoolmates at Charterhouse Public School) formed Genesis while in School, sometime circa 1968. Theirs, noted and described, was a "Democratic" Operation, regarding Song Creations. When Ant, and Drummer, Peter Mayhew, left the Band after Touring the 1970 Trespass Album, Steven Hackett and Phil Collins joined the Band. The remaining Three Originals, were then, (seen by the new Two Band Members), as the Dominant Band Stewards. Steve, early irked to the Group's Dynamic, Phil, "Happy for the Ride", (he, earlier, a Child Stage Actor, more of a bit of a "Court Jester"). A "Push/Pull" Dynamic, arose between "Pushy Peter" (to his insistence to Self- Costuming) and to his Best Mate, "Pull Back Tony", to how to hone the Band's Stage Presentation, arose onward. When Peter left in May of 75', the remaining Four Members, were brought back to an earlier, but a bit less so, Democratic Form of Band Directiveness. When Peter left, Mike and Tony were more of the Directors. Phil became the Band's 'Face' as Lead Singer. Phil's first Solo Project, 1980's, 'Face Value', entered a Year after Tony Banks first Solo Project, 1979's, 'A Curious Feeling'. What was witnessed here, to Peter Gabriel's 1986, PG's Fifth Solo Album, 'So', was of Peter, exploring, a (Wink Wink), "Rock Star" Persona. - More here, to my earlier mentioned Impressions to see Pete and Genesis Live for the first Time, in the soon to be Future.

[@SMccrate01]

i saw PG on the WOMAD tour in 93 or 94. All day festival with James, Drummers of Burundi, Jah Wobble, Crowded House (!!!), and opening before Peter Gabriel a new guy, Lenny Kravitz! Gabriel's band had Tony Levin and Bill Bruford and Sinead O'Connor came out to sing a duet. Best show I've ever seen hands down.

[@anthonyJD1]

As mentioned by Mark below, you must see 'Lay Your Hands on Me' live in Athens. It combines stage presence, courage and vulnerability for one's art like no other performer

[@deancarter9210]

You must watch 'Lay Your Hands On me' from the same show...saw him performing these G 3 G4 songs in 1982 before 'So' made him 'Big Time' and I couldn't quite believe what I was seeing happen...you'll only know what I mean by watching it.

[@Rickhorse1]

Peter's stage productions in the 80s-90s were (IMO) the best in rock history. The "Secret World" concert is still my favorite. The full concert is here... kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKuQl5ishb2CitU

[@richarddobson815]

Yes my favourite too!

[@eaglesrule1415]

Both So and Secret World were brilliant in their own ways. Both 5 stars.

[@andyshan]

The studio version is very different and very good too with Robert Fripp on guitar Phil Collins on drums and Kate Bush on vocals also. Well worth comparison.

[@eaglesrule1415]

Agreed👍

[@sigil5772]

Really excellent version - completely true to the original while being quite different at the same time.

[@Newfie-zc7ug]

Missed this one by you guys.....so glad I found it tonight. Great reaction as usual. Imagine trying figure out if Peter is a better singer or a better performer......crazy to even try ! :)

[@2407paul]

This is even getting better cause it smoothly moves to Mercy Street

[@MattLathrum]

I listened to PG Plays Live a ton and my head goes straight into the bass line from I Don't Remember after this.

[@eaglesrule1415]

This song leading ito Mercy Street is other level good.

[@blucomicguy8705]

Wonderful version of this song!!

[@mattleppard1970]

A London (Earl’s Court) date on this tour was the very first gig I saw live. I caught the bus the 80 miles to the city with my best friend when we were 16 in 1986. It was basically this concert and he played this. So “So” good ❤❤ Robert Fripp on the original and the whole album I think. Phil Collins on drums, too, and working on this led to the drum sound he used on “In the Air Tonight.” You nailed it on that connection. Nice! 😊 The album “Peter Gabriel 3” - a masterpiece. At the same venue, I later saw Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe (1989) and Pink Floyd (1994)

[@eaglesrule1415]

Saw them at 15 in Montreal. Life changer.

[@lorcazola]

OH YA !

[@rosenfield10]

I saw Gabriel in 1993 in Tacoma, Washington for the Secret World tour featuring the "Us" album. You can find this (in Italy) and it was the best concert I've ever seen.

[@eaglesrule1415]

Saw in Toronto in summer of 93. Sensational.👍

[@stevemurrell6167]

Just a fantastic song!

[@billyt7081]

[@kirkrock7285]

Hey fave couple. You know PG wrote this song about dogs. 😂. Just open up a snack at any part of the house ( yes even first floor to third floor) and somehow dogs know and they have no self control and find you where you are eating the snack. 😅. Great job on this you two. I said it before and I’ll continue to say it BCOY (best couple on KZbin). 👏🏻

[@MJ1]

We lost David Sanborn today. Miraculous talent and all time sweet person. Played on so many great tunes.

[@Pirates_of_the_Underground_I]

What!? Aw man! I used to watch him with Letterman and later his show "Night Music" with Jools Holland. - Rest In Peace.

[@PaulHilburger]

this whole record is FIRE

[@lindaulloa4786]

Family Snapshot is a great song from this same album

[@adam872]

Damn Peter had (and has) a great band. David Sancious (an absolute prog and fusion gun in his own right), Manu Katche, Tony Levin and David Rhodes. I thoroughly recommend the studio version as well, because it has some of Phil Collins' greatest ever drumming on it. That version is way more sinister too.

[@jimdolen225]

When you have Manu and Tony laying down the beat you know you are in good shape. Any by the way who has aged better than Peter Gabriel at this point?

[@tasso_viola2011]

Trick of the Tail even though Peter Gabriel was no longer there he was very present in that album. Peter had left several drafts and several tracks and also Collins sings as if he were Gabriel. I think that their first album as the new Genesis is "Wind & Wuthering" since it is also the first without Hacket. They are all very good musicians the difference is that Peter Gabriel is a genius who has always been looking for something new something that would take him and us further.

[@stephenderraugh5248]

Phil played drums on the studio track.

[@nealjones255]

Great album if you get chance to listen too

[@understandingnothing2445]

Please react to the next song from the Athen concert too: "Mercy street" It beginns just as this song has endet with Peter lying on the floor. Or do "Lay your hands on me" - Atenas 87 from the same concert. Or why not reacting to the entire "secret world live concert" in one long video?

[@eaglesrule1415]

[@franckb8279]

This live performance of NSC is the best. And no, Phil has never been the leader of Genesis (recent american fans believed it). Always have been Mike and Tony. They intend all together to change radically their sound and recording approach with Abacab (81) which benefit of course of the explosion to success from Phil. Phil was only a third of the band and he first came as a drummer who can do arrangements. But the goal to be more pop was shared by the band since I know what I like (73). Phil was and still is huge friend of Peter, in 80 he did play drums on Peter's third album. An accidental manipulation of mikes gave this distorded huge live sound, which Phil asked Peter ask if he can use it on his first solo album. There's the story.

[@alansmith8195]

Have you ever seen the Brian Pern documentary series... If you're a PG fan it's a must!

[@courtneywallace871]

Grrr. You need to do the studio version. I saw Peter on the So and Us tours. I’ve seen Phil live more than any other artist. Seen him solo, with Genesis, drums for Robert Plant and drums for Eric Clapton.

[@thomasdutton3150]

Steve Hacketts band is amazing live!!!

[@BrianR.]

Mike and the Mechanics, which of course is Mike Rutherford's band, are starting a Tour. It's supposed to be a big one, you may get to see him. It's a great concert, Mike Rutherford is very talented and he has a great band.

[@andrewmackinnon3378]

This was great and I whish I would have caught that performace. However you should know that this was a very loose randition of this song. Not better nor worst but very different. Almost like 2 different songs. For that reason, in order to really know the song, you must hear the studio version. THIS WAS AWESOME, I must say.

[@benoitdesmarais2948]

I wouldn't say Phil was the leader post-Gabriel. The songwriting was mostly shared between Banks and Rutherford up to Face Value. If you look at the interviews the band did for the rereleases of their catalogue (with Gabriel and Hackett participating), you can still feel the power struggles in the interaction - with Tony Banks coming through as a bit of tyrant i must say. Collins was the easy-going one in the 70's. You end up understanding why Gabriel and Hackett had to leave to find their full artistic expression.

[@a.k.1740]

The studio version of "No Self Control" on Peter Gabriel's third album is better because it has more tension and mystery. Here it's softer and more relaxed. Not my thing to say the least!

[@stuarthastie6374]

A lot slower/jazzier and less unhinged/urgent than the studio recording. And no marimbas. 🤔 Still a vibe, though.
