Peter Gabriel - Here Comes The Flood (Live in Athens 1987)

Peter Gabriel - Here Comes The Flood (Live in Athens 1987)

In October 1987 after many months on the road, it was in the elevated surroundings of the hillside open-air theatre at Lycabettus overlooking Athens, that the "So" tour came to a climactic close. The three nights were filmed in what was the first-ever Peter Gabriel concert to be committed to film. As a concert film, it was brilliantly shot and has now been equally brilliantly remastered, a crystal-clear record of Gabriel and band in their mid-80s pomp. The viewer is placed right in the heart of the action all the way, from the band's synchronised choreography on opening number "This Is The Picture", right through to the skin-pricking closer "Biko". In between, we're lost in music, spellbound by the spectacle, totally absorbed by the imperfection-free tightness of a band that's been on the road for so long.

I was in this concert and it was one of the most beautiful nights of my life!

[squonkharold]

Surely one of the most under rated songs of all time.

The man with the voice that can make you cry, make you groove, and give goosebumps with it’s power

[roccoscarinci]

Un miracolo di suoni, di parole, arpeggi e orchestrazioni minimaliste. Versione live da brividi soffici.

So glad I’ll be seeing Peter Next October in Palm Springs. In 1980 I was 16 years old and had been a die hard Genesis / Gabriel fan since I was 14. 94.7 KMET (the mighty MET) announced he was doing a record signing for his new album (3, or “melt”) at Tower Records on Sunset BLVD during the day on a school day. I begged my parents to let me miss school so that I could drive to Hollywood from the San Fernando Valley to meet my hero. They said yes. So I waited in line with scores of other people. At least an hour passed as the line slowly advanced. I waited, with Nursery Cryme in my hands while Tower Records played the new record over and over and we all listened. The crowd was mostly quietly listening the entire time. When it was finally my turn, he warmly said hello and asked my name. I told him my name and he signed the record. I was too nervous to say anything else, although I longed to tell him how much I loved him, and how much his music had meant to me. It is such a vivid, perfect memory. And it was a perfect day. ❤

Goddamn he sounds like he just walked out of a Lamb Lies Down On Broadway recording session 13 years earlier. Voice didn't change!

[gianniguerriero]

His voice dominates without borders...

My Favorite PG Song 🎵 (and GOD Knows, I have many!) There's something magical about his voice over the keys. The version that appears on Robert Fripp's Exposure Album is just... Awesome! ❤

Πρωί με τραίνο από Θεσσαλονίκη Αθήνα (ποιο inteρcity, κούνα-κούνα η "ταχεία" τότε), βράδυ στο Λυκαβηττό, στην κορυφαία συναυλία, στην αρχή με τον Y.N'D. και ύστερα με τον P.G. μέχρι πολύ αργά. Και με το πρώτο πρωινό πάλι πίσω, η διπλωματική δεν περίμενε! Thanks Eagle Rock for this upload. What a memories!!!

[kmusicmagazine]

Can’t agree this is a particular good performance. First of all, the song is shortened and the electric Yamaha piano brings in an element of „plastic“. Cold as the 80s.

[beatles]

this was great on tonights episode of - The Americans~

[Emmanuele_Valente]

Uno dei più grandi artisti di tutti i tempi. Un visionario, un Poeta un uomo eccezionale! Grazie Peter 💙
