Peter Hammill - A Louse is not a Home - Cracovia 03-03-2019

[@matrix834]

What a dare to perform this one live. Thank you Mr Hammill! And for those that don't get it, don't worry, it was never meant for you ;)

[@steviesteele]

That, in a nutshell, is the best reply to those in the dark on the PH genius that shines through for the rest of us.

[@orio723]

An excellent example of a true musician! I think Peter Hammill deserves more recognition than most of today's popular performers. This song is a masterpiece along with some of the best Van Der Graaf Generator epics. What a trip! It really provides energy like a real generator! I'm 17 and I'm glad I know what the true music is.

[@sergiotropea7594]

Congratulations, I m 66 I heard this live in Roma in 73, only piano and oice

[@MrMagusperde]

Yes

[@pinguchan1]

Peter Hammill is the only performer who I would listen to attempting something like this. Only a true legend could take a full band song 45 years old, and breathe life into it in a fearless solo performance.

[@paraa9]

adam 100%quite right--you do it in 2050 or so- or has time than just run out or .....?

[@pinguchan1]

@@paraa9 funny, before this tour, which I did not have the good fortune to attend, I considered trying for myself a solo cover of Louse. Couldn't quite wrap my tongue around all of the lyrics though, but I am quite inspired after seeing this.

[@kidflersh7807]

i have a feeling it was written on solo piano, actually

[@written12]

Any good song - well, perhaps I shouldn’t go that far - should, to some extent, work with just one instrument. And the piano provides percussion as well as melody and harmony. This seems like a damn challenging song to sing regardless of the accompaniment.

[@kimmccroddan6403]

I have loved Van de Graaf and Peter for many years now, but if I had to take one single track to a desert island , then this would be it... the original recorded track from the Silent Corner and the Empty Stage is truly magnificent...a poet and a genius..

[@eyraudpa]

Agree ! A masterpiece !

[@vadimzaytsev2660]

He's still got the anger! Fantastic performance.

[@mauroranchicchio]

If I ever forget why I adore this performer, watching these 12 minutes would be enough to remind me. Extraordinary! Beautiful! Thumbs up to the lovely and ever competent Polish audience for appreciating this special moment and tributing Peter with a standing ovation...

what a gift for all of us to get to see this. thank you very much! And thank you peter, if you ever read this.

I was there. This was absolutely mindblowing. One of my favourite pH songs.

[@enzogalli5506]

masterpiece.....PH is a genius, his voice is incredible...sublime!! Fantastic man!!! EnzoItaly

[@tonybarrable5261]

Absolutely Brilliant PH is just Pure Emotional Power. Such a difficult song on your own 👌

[@Cpayne30]

So captivating, even with just piano and voice.

[@andreplante4705]

Tout simplement magique, merci monsieur Hammill. Du Québec

[@avunz125]

Un jour il va venir faire un tour à Montréal jpeux pas croire!

[@MoreBud-Angel]

This is so sick. Peter at this age crushes anyone I've seen in their 20's in 2020. What an inspiration for the game of life itself. You could crap out the cure to cancer and no one would notice and that's okay.

[@tedfurlo2268]

Nowhere else can such BRILLIANCE be enjoyed! NO ONE else can provide what Peter Hammill does. Life changing(it changed mine), Ted Furlo

[@littlebosheep]

his solo masterpiece!

[@joannetelling]

Wow...Tears. Absolutely fucking amazing. My favourite PH song. Wish I'd been there.

[@pietromeloni5642]

Mio dio.....mi fai sempre commuovere. Buon 71esimo compleanno adorato poeta della solitudine e dell'amore impossibile ❤

[@torsvrede1299]

En av dom bästa musiker sångare som någonsin funnits.

[@uapuat]

Still got that incredible voice. There's a song I would never have expected to work on just a piano. Only PH could pull that off, I think. Superb!

[@marcelnollet2934]

A true Tour de Force ! I was singing along with him to the end !

[@eff901]

A song of my youth. Rediscovered.

[@FSauriol]

Difficult song on piano only... Incredible performance... 2019! Rock On Peter!

[@machacif]

Sencillamente maravilloso. Aunque existan muchos cantantes y compositores talentosos en la historia del rock progresivo, nadie como él puede transmitir tanta emoción, fuerza, belleza, locura y dulzura juntas en una canción. Interpretarla de manera tan auténtica después de tantos años y que siga sonando conmovedora es inexplicable.

[@asolarasolarasolar]

Es el más grande!

[@rafaelvinielles1963]

Lo que me sucede con él es que su sensibilidad entra por mis poros y maneja mis emociones

[@cesarbalboa8992]

El mejor compositor y vocalista.... Un verdadero Maestro..

[@alfgentlegiant]

PH es un músico extraordinario, domina escalas de rock progresivo. Larga vida Peter.!!

[@laurasezzi7332]

Il magnifico concerto di Cracovia volgeva al termine, ed ecco l'impensabile, questo tesoro immane.

[@massimomarchesin8708]

Trovatene un altro che a 72 anni riesce sempre con la voce ad affrontare brani così intensi poetici e anche complessi nelle strutture . Lui la sua voce ed il pianoforte riescono ancora oggi ad emozionare a creare una magia sonora che solo pochi riescono a farlo ,es PETER GABRIEL ROBERT WYATT e pochi altri !!! Grandissimo PETER HAMMILL !!!!!

[@ramoncardinali]

Absolute masterpiece.

[@alessandrovarrucciu6156]

Soltanto un genio così ricco di talento come Peter può immaginare di affrontare questo incredibile brano in perfetta solitudine. Chapeau, Maestro!

[@prestwickpioneer3474]

Jesus fuck. This is incredible. I’m in all these audio groups and people go on and on about their favourite corporate behemoths wit their excellent production values but ultimately are now vacuous shells of themselves. Printing money and offering nothing new and Hammill still has the fire, and the cajones to perform this. Pushing himself off a ledge and landing on two feet.

[@chrisbreeze1281]

Amazing. Such commitment to the performance. What a true artist.
