Tony Levin killing it on the bass.

[@grabasandwich]

Having a crowd chant a song you wrote must be mind blowing.

[@Al_Dente-d1p]

Awesome comment. They really are “artists”

[@bennyfriis601]

Having Tony Levin playing s song you wrote must be mind blowing.

Considering this man's age, he is still hitting the notes so well. Peter ye are perfect here.

Growing Up live version is way better and came after.

[@siegfriedi.2794]

not only the notes, his still has this increbible power in his voice, imo ?

not only singin, but he still an amazing performer

[@davidfelix2594]

get your hearing checked

[@lisascott2841]

He's still got it! ♥️

[@Terrezio]

To think Genesis had two of the most iconic voices in British rock history, Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins, not only iconic voices but two iconic musicians really blows my mind

[@TinaReggie]

I love them both from the early Genesis years until this day. Both magnificent in their own way.

[@monkeybrain213]

Yep both are my astrological sign Aquarius

[@Terrezio]

@@monkeybrain213 I'm Aquarius too but I don't believe in astrology haha

[@tozobozo4142]

I always felt Colins was trying to mimic Gabriel's voice. Indeed it is superficially much like Gabriel's, but with much of the incredible nuance and tonality stripped away.

[@bernlin2000]

It's an incredible legacy: two very different solo paths, but both wildly successful.

[@helmutherglotz7702]

This song has such an incredible groove, I will never get enough of it.

[@ronsbrat525]

I'm with you on that 😉

[@AndyRhodes1]

It never gets old.

[@YogsenForfoth]

Wow. The man still sounds as fresh and exciting as he did 40-50 years ago.

[@man13k1994]

I genuinely enjoy watching them dancing, they're not pretending anything and having fun. Btw. that bassline and Peter's vocal are just amazing.

[@iaininkster1090]

The dancing was quite unexpected! Almost ironic - but just perfect. The unifying baseline and Lord Peter of Gabriel's voice make this simply divine.

[@RainForestLeDoux]

Totally agree. Was just saying something similar to my gf

[@rainman3164]

It’s incredible how strong both Peter and Phil’s voices still are this far down the road. And to still move around the stage like that! Fantastic.

[@davidkyle2073]

Peter is quite candid about how he was sick for these tapings and lip synced his way through the songs.

[@rainman3164]

@@davidkyle2073 Ah well. It was a good thought at least.

[@brugmar]

Tony you stole the show...Best bass guitarist performance I've ever seen

[@timferguson4129]

o dear this is so fucking good Tony destroys your imagination.

[@bazookahorse]

Peter Gabriel is the heart and soul but Tony is the backbone of every good Gabriel song.

[@tonydio666]

One of the best at bass. The best I seen though was Sabbath's Geezer Butler. Not taking away from Tony though. Due respect for both legend's!

[@billymouse4753]

outstanding

[@JaimeHuanca]

He is a tremendous wonder with those four strings.

[@danberger3593]

This is the best live performance of this song, hands down.

[@kieranniemand2939]

The amount of Dad-dancing in this video.. is me

[@joshstanton267]

Good to see for once. Ffs men gotta be allowed to be happy.. right?

[@jamesbyersmusic]

Most of it from Peter, ha ha!! It's great that they are having fun!! :-)

[@justineglickman]

Yes! I love it! I just sent this video to my husband just for the dancing, and for Peters kicks. He's literally kicking the habit and I can't get enough😆😆😆

[@justineglickman]

These middle aged dance moves are really doing it for me 😆

[@richardbrucemusic]

Damn, Peter still sounds really, REALLY good. And even more lively on stage than I remember. Super tight band, too! Tony Levin on bass? What a Sledgehammer!

[@markhardwick1570]

Manu Katche and Tony Levin. Wow, Gabriel's totally rhythmed up to the eyeballs.

[@tannerhuber1603]

I just love how his band consists of some of the best musicians on the planet. Tony Levin, Manu Katche much respect

[@turdferguson7264]

David Rhodes on guitar. He's been with Gabriel since around 1980.

[@emmanueledoo1650]

One of the best line of bass of all time, MR Tony Levin

[@jimmyh3267]

Nothing like seeing the dad dancing in 2022 shows regardless of how ever old this song gets it’s still a tune

[@Njbear7453]

We need more UNITY in this world, music is one of the last things that bring people together... the intro gave me chills.

[@Lsmootho]

At the intro and as Peter was listening to the audience humming the tune, he must have thought to himself; Ah! that's how I should have recorded Sledgehammer back in 85!

[@lifeinlimbo2186]

This song is so powerful. The groove is so good and profound. It moves me to take a few minutes to let my soul take over my body and just let go.

[@AndyRhodes1]

It is a truly amazing piece of music.

[@muzquizsebastian207]

The great talent of Gabriel is his the way he can sing in so many different pitches from low to high in the long list of great songs that he has done all through the years.

[@davidkyle2073]

Peter is quite candid about how he lip-synced these taped shows.

[@rebeccam9]

Wow the old bugger still has it...That was brilliant!!

[@iaininkster1090]

The chanting before is almost primeval; Mr G listening and then extending his arm to bring on the lights and start singing is magical.

[@jaggass]

he voice still remains the same.

[@davidkyle2073]

Peter is quite candid about how he lip-synced these taped shows, as he was sick.

Peter makes an insane show and Tony Levin, you are always the man for making the best show possible. This is stunning.

[@shaunkelly9860]

The coolest bass player in the world.

Mister Tony Levin on the bass 🙏

[@javiertrivino3295]

The Master

[@dvinmf]

itasss learned about him from HSAS. This new experience is exciting

[@scanlon1201]

I love this song by Peter Gabriel and this performance when it started off with audience singing beginning of first few lyrics of it.

[@mcfly3510]

Whenever I am in a bad mood I watch a Peter Gabriel performance and I feel like in my mother's arms.

[@ethwhite]

Peter Gabriel. Top class. The whole band sounds brilliant. But Tony Levin is an absolute monster on the bass. What a performance this is. Ear-gasm

[@balazsbarabas3514]

I have a flu that's been killing me but this put me on my feet like in 30 seconds. Thanks old chap (and Tony too, yeah)

[@Njbear7453]

Hope you’re feeling better

[@LiamBere]

That intro gave me proper goosebumps! Amazing

[@Njbear7453]

Music brings everyone together

[@VintageGuy1]

Trivia: The performance delay was because they had to wait for keyboardist - David Sancious to swap out /upload the floppy disc horn section program for that song on his synthesizer. This was necessary because Peter didn't bring a horn section on tour. Still, "Goosebumps" nonetheless🔥

[@lynette599]

The man with the beautiful eyes....love this live performance. Greetings from South Africa.

[@versatilejams]

Amazing song, incredible performance.

[@c.a.savage5689]

Just how incredibly perfect is this performance by Peter Gabriel? This song has been rolling around in my head so I thought I'd see the 1986 KZbin video and yes, it's very entertaining and he certainly hits all the spontaneous high notes we've come to expect. But this version just blows it all away. It has the Man himself (without the video pyrotechnics), it has the audience (the first minute is fabulous) and we're all hitting those high notes together.

[@thebeardsnob6897]

Let's here it for Tony Levin laying down a stellar bass line!

[@miked4069]

Man, his voice really held up. Unreal.

[@lulabelle82]

He sounds exactly the same 30 odd years later and it's amazing

Manu Katché on the drums !

[@barthvapour]

Manu famously recorded this on the album on his first take - when the producer suggested he try a second take, he responded by saying "why, I can't play it any better than that!"

[@robbiepeterh]

It’s a marvel how he can still sing like this. I hear absolutely no deterioration in his vocals and I find it amazing 😉

[@luiscardenas182]

Just take a look to Phill Collins, he can barely move due to backache !!!
