Nobody talks about Manu like they do John Bohnam, Keith Moon, Danny Carey, etc, but this was a sort of complicated drumming pattern to be appreciated. Gabriel did well without Phil Collins.
On recording one if the best funkiest rhythm tracks ever. Here, Omar is giving a ridiculously good rendition of the feel, the bass drum has a million subtle almost inaudible hits that I cant believe anyone can do and not detract from the studio version. The music is really clever to me, I wish I would have wrote this one. I was expecting it to be much worse.
I'm on my way, I'm making it I've got to make it show, yeah So much larger than life I'm going to watch it growing The place where I come from is a small town They think so small They use small words But not me I'm smarter than that I worked it out I've been stretching my mouth To let those big words come right out I've had enough, I'm getting out To the city, the big big city I'll be a big noise with all the big boys There's so much stuff I will own And I will pray to a big god As I kneel in the big church Big time I'm on my way-I'm making it Big time big time I've got to make it show yeah Big time big time So much larger than life Big time I'm going to watch it growing Big time My parties all have big names And I greet them with the widest smile Tell them how my life is one big adventure And always they're amazed When I show them 'round my house, to my bed I had it made like a mountain range With a snow-white pillow for my big fat head And my heaven will be a big heaven And I will walk through the front door Big time I'm on my way, I'm making it Big time Big time I've got to make it show, yeah Big time Big time So much larger than life Big time I'm going to watch it growing Big time Big time My car is getting bigger Big time My house getting bigger Big time My eyes getting bigger Big time And my mouth Big time My belly is getting bigger Big time And my bank account Big time Look at my circumstance Big time And the bulge in my big big big big big big Big big big big big big big big big
The Best... Peter Gabriel ! Tu es sensationnel... Tu le meilleur, des meilleures!Je t'adooooore ! I love you so much. Prends soin de toi ! 🙏🙏🙏🙏💕❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💋💋💕💓💓💓💓❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ok,l love Peter G, but seriously you should've had the sistas doing the background vocals!!!!!! Your voice with theirs was pure magic, and it sounds better!!!!!
I have a list of complaints too, but I have a since of humor about it, check this version of Big Time Remixed by Sickayda Mars, It's different, but it's still the original song. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YXUwofaZ5ts.html
Oh dear... His voice has gone. While hitting the tone occasionally, its done. I've loved this man since I first heard him sing. Incredibly talented. A signature voice! Talented song writer! Leave us always wanting more Peter. Time to retire. Love you always!
Loved this from the MTV days. Now, years later, about 2 days ago I thought of it and here I am. One reason I love this great, unique song is that, and I am no musician so please forgive me, the instrumentation sounds as if it is in opposition to the singing, made for a completely different song yet this is what has great appeal for me. Does anyone else think this and if so, does this"effect" have a term to describe it????
Maybe you're hearing that Peter is slightly ahead of the beat in this version Funk music generally lays back in the beat and of course live versions are generally faster in tempo If you look up "playing in the pocket" it might help?
No, I can't. It sounds great to me - very well played. But of course its not going to sound just like the record, and it's also going to be impacted by whatever was in the air on this one particular night.
I was expecting worse,I am pretty particular about recreating detrimental things live, but as someone who has played all the instruments to this song, I dont think it can be done better live unless you recreate in automation fashion, sequence it all, I would like to see more trueness to the song in that respect.
What I can't stand is when they splice together a song from different shows. You can see the guitar player is playing a Les Paul at the beginning of the video and then all of the sudden he's playing a Fender. It's possible he switched guitars but I really doubt that. He was playing the whole time. Yes and Tony Levin putting the bass down after he's playing with plastic tubes on his fingers. I wanted to hear more of that.
+cnucklz09 The plastic tubes are his "funk fingers" - I always thought it was a pair of cut down drumsticks, but I could be wrong... Great player regardless though.
Sorry guys. I had to thumbs down this. Tony putting down his bass and moving to keys is thumbs down worthy though IMO. It's all about that bass. Don't put it down.
I have to agree, when you have a great bass like a musicman stingray, why not use it. There is also something strange going on with David Rhodes guitar. One minute it's a musicman, the next it's a gibson
I'm pretty sure the crowd was cheering because it was over. I love Peter Gabriel but this song sucks live. The other live versions I've heard on here are pretty geed too.
