4K - Sledgehammer - Peter Gabriel - Verona 2023 

@@bourbon77 rubbish.. That was live

Yes! Great observation! That IS impressive! As for the troll comment about pre recorded, dude! Move out of your parent's basement and begin living your life with purpose. The dissemination of negative energy never ends well for the distributor. Best of luck to you on your journey of spiritual awakening my friend. Baby steps. One little adjustment of vibrational amplification each week. Stay focused and let love into your life. You'll be amazed at how much happier you'll feel and how much brighter the world now appears. Source allows for complete freedom of choice, you can opt for darkness and dystopian narratives, or you can go with light, love, and tolerance for all you encounter. I'd recommend the latter path, it has a much higher ceiling. The dark road is a dead end, an environment of suspicion, hate, self interest, and intolerance. Its apathetic, cynical, and has deceived itself in the belief of the supremacy of the egoic construct that sees Ego as separate from the Interconnected Oneness of the Everything. Good luck my brother.

@@donmackie6086 Lol😂 bless the non musician

@bourbon77 lol. Yes indeed. After all, we are all extensions of a single consciousness.

@@donmackie6086 well written...he probably works for the WEF, lol.

It sounds great here. I watched some videos from the first night and was worried but seems like it’s opened up a bit after that show. I’m seeing him in October

His body isn’t so fortunate.

I was thinking the same.. he hasnt lost anything.

@@gallagc1 Time comes for us all.

@@shootermcgavin3077 Tony Levin looks pretty fit. If your only going to tour every 20 years, go on a diet first. Also Morrissey keep your shirt on.

Great sound. Better than a lot of stage versions.

exactly this is astonishing, I was thinking the same thing

I agree. Levin, however in my experience with him in 1987, in music school and later in the late 2000s where he played a few shows in Baltimore in a studio I built he was basically a jerk talking shit about other musicians he was hired to perform with.

20 years younger? And the rest!!!!

@@Doesitmatter113 "He was hired to perform with" ? I don't recall Peter Gabriel ever being hired as a session musician for another group.

@@TheVideoLounge Tony Levin, pay attention. Never mentioned Peter Gabriel.

Genesis Reunion tour anyone?

It's called auto tune

@@FUBARandU Not. You can clearly hear that he's very slightly off-key sometimes... Purely a live performance, no trickery here. An amazing feat for a 73-year-old man. The only thing is that you can see him looking at a monitor for the lyrics at times, probably because his memory isn't what it used to be. But that's understandable.

@@FUBARandU - that would be the worst autotune ever used - he is on key 98%, but that 2% off-keyness would not be present with autotune. He is a real musician, and this gives it a natural feeling - he is the best!

@@AlainHubert Could also be mic/digital stuff, timing etc. PG has an excellent memory from what I gather

@@Saerkal Teleprompters have been pretty common onstage for many years, you'd be surprised. And there's no shame in it, particularly when the artist is drawing from 50 years of songwriting.

Adrenochrome

And autotune

@@weallmakechoices7456no

​@@weallmakechoices7456 autotune corrects pitch, not breathiness. If he's still able to belt at 73 without running out of breath, he's either got a great singing coach or he's been taking good care of his lungs and throat. Probably a bit of both.

And the moves!

It’s a bad thing or good thing? 🤪

And Ringo Starr is still doing it at 82! Paul is also , but his voice is totally gone not like Peter and Ringo.

Age irrelevant 🤷🏻‍♂️😆🤣😂

I'd say more like 43.

I agree...he sounds great. The only thing I'd change is that outfit.

@@TheOldTapeArchive Yeah, not a fan of that look either.

Jon Anderson of Yes fame is 78 and is doing a better job than Peter. It's time to modulate this song down a full step so he doesn't to gliss into the high notes. Still, not a bad performance though.

@@theatremusician doesn't Jon Anderson have a very different singing style?

@@mipmipmipmipmip yes. Why?

A genius then, a genius now.

The guy from Yes 😂😂😂😂 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 hey buddy, go kick rocks.

It is indeed

And he's even a bit older than Peter, at 76! Still got it.

Met Levin in 84 after their KC show in Vancouver. I was outside the theatre hoping to ask Fripp a question. Tony emerged from the building first, he had a female companion, and was munching on an apple. Me : you're great! Him : thanks man! He then extends his arm and we shook hands. I wasn't there to talk to him but you always remember how encounters with important artists went. If they were positive, you stay a fan of the person for life. If it was negative, you no longer pay attention to their work. My encounters with a handful of culturally significant people have been predominantly positive. The only negative event was with a Canadian comedian Brent Butt. He was off my radar after that day. Anyways...ya. Gabriel's voice is remarkable for someone 73 years old!

Tony is the best of the best ever!!

About 20 years ago, Tony and his band (pretty much Peter’s touring band) played at a small club that I’d worked at. He actually doesn’t live far from the city I was in. They were the nicest people you could meet. I’m a bass player, so it was a big deal for me meeting him. He signed my copy of Bass Player with him in the cover. He let me try out his gear. At the end of the night we all went to the bar on the first floor and just talked about music, it was fantastic. After they had left, the tour manager came back in with an armful of Tony’s CD’s and said “We almost forgot, Tony wanted you to have these”. A perfect ending to the evening. Thank you Mr. Levin for spending that time with all of us and for giving me some outstanding memories.

@timmerred5 great story! He's my favorite bassist for a bunch of reasons. I once met him as well and came away with the same feeling. He was down to Earth, friendly, and attentive. A person who's the opposite of the typical self absorbed, narcissistic, attention seeking diva personality that permeates the music industry.

Peter was the tortise and Phil was the hare. Phil just completely burned himself out and then took really poor care of himself on his time off. Which stinks, because Phil was still 90% his old self in 2007. Less than a decade later and he wasn't even half that. Bums me out.

@@ryankramer Life is funny that way, in a not so funny way. Totally hear you on that...a great way of putting it.

Well, take a look at "young" Sting - 72 in October! Awesome shape and voice too!

@@thekeyboardess1150 Indeed! Great example for sure.

Just what i was thinking

A mere spring chicken compared to Mick Jagger...and nowhere near as fit or in shape. As for the "dancing"....Reminds me of that Steve Martin movie...

@@ExpediteMMCXII At The Playpen down the Jersey Shore before they demolished it for condos. I also saw The Greg Allman Band that week. It was an amazing week of Rock and Roll. It is ashamed that all these great clubs are gone.

eh. get over yourself. from, a real instrumentalist and producer who knows that technique is not the end all. If it sounds good, and feels good, and people love it. its' good. IT DOESNT MATTER HOW IT'S MADE. Seriously. I"m sixty years old, i grew up with this music, but don't be a sad sack!

There’s always the one guy who admits he’s too lazy to discover new music.

Lots of awful music being made today. Lots of great music being made today. Lots of awful music being made 40 years ago. Lots of great music being made 40 years ago.

Uhhhh. Check out this and tell me it’s not “REAL MUSIC” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i7IT6Ng9hEc.htmlfeature=shared

⁠​⁠I don’t know….I think I can appreciate a comment like that more coming from someone who isn’t necessarily a fan of the artist. I don’t think that’s being a sad sack.

as long they two are playing together the world can't be lost...

Don't forget David Rhodes on guitar. He's been with Peter and Tony for over 40 years.

Looking at his videos through the years is like watching a long, drawn out performance art piece about how the human body ages. And knowing Peter Gabriel, there's probably some element of intent to that.

The same guitar players he's had for years. Glad he kept them in this tour. 😊

Just what I was thinking...Perhaps Gabriel doesn't like his band members to have more hair than him...Sounds pretty good , but looks crappy with that silly walk and attempted dancing...

Not quite but impressive still

I'm with Intothewind, not at all the same, but great nonetheless. I went to what I thought would be his last tour 10 years ago, and from this, I'd say his vocals were in better shape this night than than night in Helsinki 10 years ago

@@IntoTheWhite04 oh shut up

I first heard him when he was 22.

Billy Joel.

Well said sir! You just can't cover tracks like that, there's only one voice that does it any justice, the original one! His phrasing & timing are superb, with wonderful range from tracks like this to Mercy Street etc! 😉👍

Close, but not quite. No way at 73 that you are going to sound as good as you did at 33.

@@j.t.cooper2963 - No to be fair the vocal chords age & thus what can be produced matures. To my ears he’s still doing a great job live & still dusts those wonderful tracks with the unique Gabriel magic! I’d pay to see him for sure! 👍😉

Bit more than solid, don’t you think? Two of the best in the world on their respective instruments.

calm down weirdo

underrated voice?! probably one of the 5 most famous british male singers of all times.

Underr what?

Stop using that word puh-leeeaase!!

Stop using that word puh-leeeaase!!

how can anything or anyone be "most underrated"?

i might do a Tai Chi video with this song ! 😂
