Peter Gabriel: pure genius. Just THE BEST.

[@TheCorrectAnswer56]

Interesting fact: Gabriel used to open his live shows with this song. Him and his band would enter the stage from the back of the audience while synchronously banging drums while that eerie heartbeat sounding synth was playing. Such a powerful way to open up a show. Everything Peter Gabriel did musically, lyrically, and in live performances was so unpredictable. Such an exciting artist and one of the most down to earth kind hearted human beings out there too.

[@dalisman]

He opened his co-headline shows w Sting w this. UNREAL.

[@m1t2a1]

I saw him Nov. 82 in Maple Leaf Gardens. This is the album he was touring for, and the show started from behind me like you said. I was so surprised. When I turned to see where the drums were coming from, I accidentally passed a joint to a cop.

[@PaulHilburger]

Gabriel wrote this song about psychologist Carl Jung's visit to Africa. He joined a group of drummers and dancers and became overwhelmed with fear. Gabriel learned about it from Jung's book Symbols And The Interpretation Of Dreams. Jung was studying the Collective Unconscious, and was afraid he would go mad as the drummers and dancers let the music control them. Gabriel tries to capture this feeling with the tribal drumbeats.

[@vaskitheinsane3985]

This song is a literal masterpiece. I’m a 90s baby and my dad had me listen to this album when I was like 7. This song is my jam, I use it to test my new stereo systems as an adult now. When I heard it for the first time as a kid I was an immediate major Peter Gabriel fan. I listened to this while playing Ocarina of Time on N64, the game hits different when ya got his music playing lol

[@julieb.5860]

i always felt that 'dont drink the water' by dave matthews was highly influenced by this album......imo...

[@spanky814]

Same for me, my dad had me listen to a lot of early genesis, Peter Gabriel, and Wendy Carlos lol

[@jcswim1954]

Seeing him live back in the 80s was one of the most surreal experiences a person could have at a live concert event.

[@natewilliams1062]

I can't get enough PETER GABRIEL! Thanks

[@danielmcbriel1192]

For me this is one of the best pieces of music the eccentric archangel has ever made.

[@nickmainguy3132]

my introduction to peter gabriel was to see him live in 1983 playing this album . amazing show

[@drithligh]

My favorite Peter Gabriel song in his entire solo discography.

[@AlexAlex-dr9zc]

Peter Gabriel is simply a king. I encourage you to dig into his solo career along with Genesis and all his side projects

[@O_Towne_Bear]

peter gabriel is my favourite artist all time. Grew up during his solo career. He has influenced my writing, my understanding of music and my social awareness.

[@philmccammon]

This is the opening song to his Plays Live Album… it’s amazing.. seen him live 4x.. every time was insane

[@Oron-n5l]

I saw the "Plays Live" tour in 1982 in Ottawa, for his fourth album. I had not known, before that show, that a Rock concert could be so meaningful, surprising and transformational, by virtue of the theatrical performance of a charismatic front man. I only wished that there existed decent quality sound video of that Winter show. I saw him again in Summer of '83 and it was a stripped-down version of the main tour. Quite disappointing, none of the magic on display. ---OronOfMontreal

[@christoffesedao3579]

🔥 THANKS FOR DOING THIS SONG - IT DESERVES ATTENTION - I SUBSCRIBED JUST FROM THIS, MY FIRST TIME WATCHING U GUYS.

[@mjweber0313]

The theme song to 80's "V" def took that for it's opening.

[@natewilliams1062]

I Didn't even need to know. I "liked" it immediately. PG is grossly underated. He's a Bowie kinda dude. He changes over and over and over and over again. Peter is REAL. Thanks!

[@OronOfMontreal]

Peter Gabriel is universally venerated as a musical innovator, as a brilliant composer, lyricist and producer. He is a legendary live performer whose eccentricities are appreciated even by millions of teeny-boppers, thanks to his giant-selling "So" album. The most respected musicians in the world want to work with him. He is in a small international group of social leaders called The Elders, which included Nelson Mandela until that good man's death. So I ask you, Nate: In what way or ways is Gabriel underrated? Who underrates him? Where is he underrated? I urge you to read the dictionary definition of this overused and grossly misused word, "underrated". For Peter Gabriel is almost anything But underrated.

[@alanlloyd9986]

@@OronOfMontreal thank you!! I think you are ALSO tired of people using that word "underrated" 😵

[@m1t2a1]

I haven't seen him live since... Saturday. Pretty sure there are forty five ticket stubs from seeing him over the last 40 something years. He gives good concert.

[@RubesGoodBrainCoffee]

Yes, Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel were in Genesis at the same time. Peter was one of the founders and they went through three different drummers before they hired Phil Collins. Collins was just the drummer back then, but after Gabriel left the band went through hundreds of audition tapes looking for a replacement. Ultimately, Collins said he thought he could do a better job than anyone they auditioned, so he asked if he could give it a go. As history tells us, he knocked it out of the park. Incidentally, Collins was playing drums on Gabriel's third album when he and the engineer stumbled upon the drum sound that would be made famous by 'In the Air Tonight.' Gabriel would get to use it first on his song 'Intruder.'

[@davidpeters44]

Collins was an elite drummer. Ask a drummer.

[@BB..........]

Such an incredible track. If you make the mistake of turning up the volume at the beginning, you'll be reaching for it again to turn it way down shortly! The Super Audio CD of this album is absolutely phenomenal.

[@Deguello23]

As far as that spooky feeling goes, picture the bespectacled German psychologist getting his mind blown by a primal spiritual experience and there you have it.

[@thenomadicpen]

Great reaction, Fellas. Carl Jung (pronounced Yung) was studying a troop of African drummers and lost himself in the rhythm and sound of the drums to the point of hallucination, and he was very afraid of losing himself completely. That is why the ending is so powerful, it's PG's interpretation of getting utterly swept away and lost in the power of rhythm. Knowing this, go back and listen again and you might just feel that possibility of being lost in the rhythm. By the way, San Jacinto is actually pronounced, San Has-In-toe. Cheers!

[@Deguello23]

This right here.

[@jasonm8017]

❤️ Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins & Genesis! This song makes me think of Miami Vice 😎

[@evalevy2909]

I remember this from a montage in David Copperfields 15 years of magic special in 93 or 94

[@Corey_Kinger]

Yup. Here it is. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqmln52djdFni5o

[@Selanium]

Back in the old internet days when anime music videos were huge I saw one of this song to Princes Mononoke. It’s an amazing fit.

[@Newfie-zc7ug]

I'm a massive Gabriel fan and I honestly don't remember that "note" he held ................POWERFUL !

[@meganparsons9106]

very powerful

[@nightHawk66]

If you would consider to do a Genesis song, I would recommend Firth of Fifth from 1973 album Selling England by the Pound. Gabriel on vocals and Collins on drums. Collins was doing backing vocals until 1976 when they released the album A Trick Of The Tail. Gabriel left the band after the Lamb Lies Down On Broadway tour in 1975. Tony Stratton Smith, a former manager for Genesis, once said that Phil Collins sounded more like Peter Gabriel than Peter Gabriel did... They do have similarity in their voices and sometimes it's really hard to hear who is singing,at least for newer listeners.

[@buzzbomb67]

Def my fave Peter Gabriel song ... powerful music!

[@evalevy2909]

Most of his music I learned watching David Copperfield specials in the 90s

[@Corey_Kinger]

Same!!

[@ronjm945]

Peter Gabriel is a unique musician and his work is often theatrical especially when he was the vocalist in Genesis! I recommend you go back and try some of his earlier works from the album Foxtrot. The song is Watcher of the Skies! Peter also played flute and was responsible for much of the songwriting during his time with the band. His solo work is sublime especially live! I have seen him on many occasions and he was always fantastic. All the best....

[@markjohnson4217]

This track was my first intro to CD technology, on my buddie's massive home stereo... I was paralyzed. The theme, by the way, is about Karl Jung's terrifying experience when he felt the Shamanic trance as the power of the rhythm took total control of his body and soul.

[@markfeggeler3479]

Great album. Kiss of Life off the same album is a fun rocker. If you want the full Gabriel experience, the last two Genesis albums with him are his best efforts - Selling England by the Pound and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.

[@Newfie-zc7ug]

Great reaction guys and great pick......keep going down the road of "not the hits" and you will be blown away. His hits are unbelievable but you have to listen to ALL of Peter's stuff........try No Way Out or The Intruder.....................

[@EzraSolomone]

Digging in the Dirt is probably my favorite PG song

[@skromeproductions5592]

They used this music for the trailer for Stargate

[@Oron-n5l]

... and for one of the trailers for "Tombstone". Its drama lends itself to promoting anything with high stakes. ---OronOfMontreal

[@execatty]

It's theatrical because like Floyd and rush in the 70s Gabriel was insanely crazy on stage with Genesis

[@mikep3412]

Great vocals

[@jollyj3285]

You should do In Your Eyes, Secret World Don't Give Up.....he's amazing live!!!!!!

[@rpraelsporcupine3112]

If you know Genesis, you must check out Peter Gabriel’s Genesis, because his flair for theatrics made that era of the band reeeeally special. You should probably start with The Musical Box, Firth of Fifth and, if you’re feeling brave enough for a 23-minute song, Genesis’ masterpiece: Supper’s Ready. They will blow your minds.

[@Julian-to7ro]

Thanks for the reaction and yh Peter Gabriel was the singer of Genesis (Phil was there already). 'Supper's Ready' is 23(!) minutes long, a journey about love, war, death, dream lands, rebirth, unity 😎 A 'heavy' song of Genesis is 'The Knife'. 😎 'Carpet Crawlers' is amazing too 😎 Solo: 'Intruder' (amazing drums by Collins). 'Biko' about the killing of Stephen Biko or maybe 'Don't Give Up' with Kate Bush! A lot to explore lol

[@OronOfMontreal]

Phil was their third drummer, hired into Genesis in 1970, in time to record their third album. They hired Steve Hackett in the same time period, because founding guitarist and band leader Anthony Phillips had to quit, due to debilitating stage fright.

[@StalkerinfromDavid]

the titlesong from the movie "Birdy".

[@Oron-n5l]

I LOVE the movie "Birdy". It was my first time seeing Nicolas Cage or Matthew Modine and I had only recently learned about Peter Gabriel or Genesis (in 1981, at university). Cage had a knack for getting cast in some fascinating gems of movies, in the 80s and 90s.

[@micheledanieli5002]

Geniale ,la voce è progressiva ,solo la voce .

[@m1t2a1]

If you want to see how theatrical he can be watch Secret World Live. 4:23

[@andrewpetik2034]

Or I know what I like 1973 live..... fabilous

[@Corey_Kinger]

I first heard this song when I was a young kid. The magician, David Copperfield, used a lot of peter Gabriel songs as backing tracks to his illusions. This is one of those songs. I urge y’all to check out this video. David couldn’t have possibly picked a better song and presentation to go along with this one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqmln52djdFni5o

[@johngreen3587]

Obscure Gabriel = sub

[@sakadula]

You can explore further dimensions of Home Free by listening to their non-Country titles. Of special note: Auld Lang Syne, Helplessly Hoping, and When a Man Loves a Woman.

[@aretelivingarts]

Jung believed that music and dance could create a heightened spiritual state that can make us feel disconnected, but also at one with the world. He called it 'numinosity." I think that is what the lyrics are trying to express.

[@kjohnson4077]

You guys definitely need to do a Peter Gabriel era Genesis song. Watcher of the Skies, Dancing With the Moonlight Knight, or Firth of Fifth would probably be good choices. Also, if you've seen the movie Wall-E, Peter created the song that plays in the end credits for the movie!

[@execatty]

Do the musical box off the live album.. Their best

[@stevenwasserman9729]

Please try "In Your Eyes" from secret world live, "Sky Blue", "I Grieve", and "Biko".

[@s.mcpherson6354]

This was recorded during an era when African music was first being merged in with pop and rock and folk etc. Gabriel and Paul Simon led that. And the rest of the feel is because Gabriel's shows are always highly theatrical. If you're going to watch Secret World stuff, watch it live. Even with a super pared down set, he's still very theatrical.

[@nightthornkvala94132]

The song "In Your Eyes" from Secret World Live is one of my favorites to watch over and over.

[@s.mcpherson6354]

@@nightthornkvala94132 Did you get to see it live? I actually skipped it because I'd seen him several times. Then the guitar player in my band told me about the show and so I decided to fly to a gig in another city and saw it there. So glad I did, for all the reasons that keep you coming back to it. It's beautiful in so many ways.

[@nightthornkvala94132]

@@s.mcpherson6354 Wish I had seen it live. Haven't been to a concert in so long I've almost forgotten how fun they can be.

[@s.mcpherson6354]

@@nightthornkvala94132 I'm with you there. I suppose this will give us greater appreciation for what we might have taken a touch for granted before. I was always happy to 'have seen' the artist. But it never occurred to me that I should also be grateful for the existence of concerts as a concept.

[@remopiccioni9456]

From what I get it has to do with Carl Jung going to Africa. He was at a tribal ceremony and was kind of wigged out but super excited about the ritual and the music but at the same time he was terrified. Almost as if he was first taking a new hallucinogenic. In the end he gives in and enjoys the experience. Yes they were members of Genesis at the same time.

[@totovassallo7255]

Peter gabriel. 1967 1975 the best genesis

[@meganparsons9106]

This is not exactly a tune for parties but it is deep and many layered . I know Phil played drums on a number of Peter's albums so would not be surprised if he did here.

You should listen to here, comes the flood next

[@chuckolah4525]

Why would anyone pick this song. He has so many other truly great ones.

[@mariebloodworth1193]

From a woman’s perspective, no,not spooky. Just pure sex.

[@oldrockgeeser9426]

Peter Gabriel as so many great songs so that's why I find it strange that you would start with one of his unknown songs but I guess that what happens when you don't know the artist.

[@ViewsFromThe502]

As stated in the intro, this song was requested after a donation from a viewer. We did mention his bigger hit & album. But don’t worry, Peter Gabriel will return in the future👍🏼

[@davidpeters44]

Jung is pronounced "Yoong"

[@jgsrhythm100]

Genesis was full on prog in the Gabriel era. Phil Collins turned it into mainstream pop. This why Gabriel's solo work is so much more artsy than Phil's. Even Gabriel's most commercial album " So" is artsier than Collins.

Phil Collins is a lame repro of the original Peter Gabriel. Love the beat of a ship's engine beneath the entire song. Gabriel is also a master drummer. Gabriel is what made Genesis good. You really should not interrupt songs.

[@anniepowell1628]

“Yung.” Let’s pronounce Karl Jung’s German name like it is pronounced. Jesus.

[@ViewsFromThe502]

There probably wasn't any pronunciation respelling next to the name he was reading. Chill out.
