Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer (Growing Up Live)

[@audiemurphy4948]

That bass line added 15 years to my life...

that's the greatest fucking comment I've ever read... you may have actually added a few years to mine 😎

Tony Levin's base playing is always brilliant but he smashes it on this performance

Peter, soul of Genesis...magic!

[@josh2Sides2]

Love that he and Phil still have a great relationship shame they never worked together much after Genesis

[@ianjonas7380]

Tony Levin...what a master of the bass.

[@glenchapman3899]

I would love to get him alone so he can explain that whole playing the base with sticks. Sounds brilliant, looks insane

[@steffanheimdallson5807]

I saw Tony Levin playing with King Crimson in 1984 on the "Three of a Perfect Pair" tour. "Sleepless" off that album is Tony at his best, IMO.

[@davidcole9971]

[@AndrewBishop1971]

One of the best sounding songs ever created

[@SuperAnatolli]

One of the best lyrics too.

[@frederickbagley2835]

I always thought it was some studio gizmos that were making him sound like that. But no, he’s actually that good.

[@martinezsantana8037]

You're telling me that guy is killing the bass and dancing? God.

[@unumirceapop-rock1467]

Genius ❤

[@mattoconnell4304]

He'd be about 70 here...just to rub it in 🤣🤣

[@Rheems1]

Tony Levin is not of this world I am convinced

[@BradNowell-y3c]

It’s a bad ass bass line for sure!

[@anthonysilva5312]

This guy put on a red dress and a fox head in the 70s and he’s been blowing minds ever since

[@youtube-is-hopeless]

This is the best version of this song by miles. Adjusted to give respect to Peter being older and his voice being what it is now. If this was recorded like this now, it might top the charts again!

[@frederickbagley2835]

I totally agree, but I honestly would like to see more of his backup singers, they are rocking like on another level!

[@VGILee]

No way, man. The Secret World version blows this away. PG is about a hundred times more animated, so much so that he’s practically hyperactive! All while managing to sound great. Paula Cole is on another level completely. The whole song is just so much more energetic and joyous. And as it’s an energetic and joyous song, that can only be a good thing. I saw the Growing Up concert live and it was great. But it wasn’t a patch on Secret World. That was peak PG.

[@leavebutdontleaveme59]

@@VGILee Agree!!! Secret World is in a universe unlike any other Gabriel performance. He, the band and Paula are at the top of their form in that tour. It NEVER gets old listening to/watching that concert!!!

[@andrewtaffe]

We don't like Mights.

[@josh2Sides2]

I think he definitely should

[@matthewdyck5503]

Tony Levin is an absolute beast in any band that he plays in. What a damn legend.

[@OfficialAshArcher]

This song isn’t just musically a masterpiece - it is just pure fun; that’s why it’s still so beloved by millions!

[@edwardwilliams2438]

This bass line is Epic. Peter is just workin' this audience. He has a great stage presence...and he has matured very well. The voice is still strong and effortless...plus...appears he is having real FUN! And the COAT is Iconic!! Why that little flute flourish in the song gets me everytime, it is just magical! Keep rockin' Peter!!!

God the vocal harmonies at the 3rd verse (1:53] really elevate this version. the tempo as well, it’s really a stomp!

Classic song that has stood the test of time, still sounds so good nearly 40 years later. Thank you for your music, Mr Gabriel.

[@k.c.lejeune6613]

As a bass player myself i can say that Tony's basslines are to die for. I can play them at about 90% accuracy.

[@mistatt2]

He utilizes him to the max. Tony's sound is like an exclamation point to his words. Beautiful.

[@markpotuznik785]

I remember this when the MTV video came out, remember MTV when thats what it was? Music Television, then they had to mess it up to what it became, oh well..anyway.. I remember when I was able to play it really loud with 150w with 12" louds...amazing! Since then I have always liked this song and the orig. claymation video. I just found this vid showing that..we all get older, but Peter still has it. Great artists like this just arent around as much these days. I cherish the good old rock n roll, Rock n Roll forever!

[@ginosateratti2162]

"This Day in Music" - 26 July 1986, Peter Gabriel went to No.1 on the US singles chart with 'Sledgehammer', a No.4 hit in the UK. The song's music video has won a number of awards, including a record nine MTV Awards at the 1987 MTV Video Music Awards, and Best British Video at the 1987 Brit Awards. Gabriel was also nominated for three Grammy Awards. As of 2011, 'Sledgehammer' is the most played music video in the history of MTV.

[@danielpaez4210]

"Sledgehammer" replaced "Invisible Touch" as number 1 on the US charts. Who would have thought in the 70's that a band as progressive as Genesis would have 2 singers with tremendous commercial success.

[@nard9165]

Wow - This bass-line sounds fantastic..... !!! “Delicate Sound of Gabriel”

I had this live DVD when it came out, it was magic. I love all the footage of the AV crew besides the talented artists. I got to see two tours of Peter and friends, including his daughter, Melody. To this day, he puts on the best show of anyone I've seen. It's as if he sat in every seat and asked, "How's the view from here?"

[@rocheyb1]

Me and my football team received an impromptu live performance of this song when we were touring the old Wembley Stadium, in what must have been about 1989. While we walked alongside the pitch from one end, workmen were busy installing a stage - you could hear hammers and drills, etc. while our guide was telling us about the pitch’s draining system and so on. Then, that distinctive intro to ‘Sledgehammer’ blared out and we were treated to an impromptu live performance by Peter Gabriel and his band rehearsing this song. They got about a third of the way through it, stopped, then performed the whole song from scratch. Loved it ever since. I also like Morgan James’s take on it; sounds very different from a female perspective.
