Peter Gabriel - Biko Live @Johannesburg 46664 against AIDS (Lyrics in comment) 

This song was written, produced and composed in 1978. Banned in South Africa.Peter Gabriel performed it everywhere in the world except South Africa.finally got the chance to sing in South Africa. A dream come true. Long live Bantubonke Stephen Biko.Amandla........

This has been my grieving anthem for many years. In the lat '60's and early '70's, as a young white South African involved in the student movement as Steve was midwifing the birth of the Black Consciousness Movement, I came to know him personally. When he was assassinated in jail in '77, by which time I was in Canada and hadn't been in touch with him for 5 years, I was devastated. I still wonder whether the country of my birth, which I still love so much, would have progressed differently if he was still physically alive. Thank you, Peter Gabriel, for giving this to me and so many others. I am so glad you at last had the chance to bring it to South African soil. Amandla!

Peter Gabriel, a giant for human rights! We need more like him nowadays!

Simply one of the greatest songs ever written. Changed the world for the better.

Great song. Mr. Gabriel, please make such a song for the Palestines, who suffers Israel Apartheid and even Genocide.

This song made me aware of the big injustice that was suffered by the black people in South Africa. I was 14. It made me join Amnesty International and to participate in protests against apartheid. It made me a political person. To see Peter Gabriel perfom it in Johannesburg on this video made the hairs raise on my neck: Touching and very powerful. Sadly, although apartheid is long gone, we are still a long way from equal rights. The struggle countinues...

Who else learned of apartheid due to this song? Thank you Peter Gabriel and thank you Steven Biko, RIP.

You can blow out a candle but you can‘t blow out a Fire, once the flame begin to catch the wind will blow it higher!“

RIP Stephen Biko I am an American but the murder of Stephen Biko touched me and softened my heart Biko is a Saint and he should be taught about to all young people

Mr Gabriel, I’ve always loved your music! Listen to it to this day.!!! You’ve gotten me through tough times in the U.S. military on deployments . Godspeed 😅

Peter Gabriel is an icon,a legend and a force to be reckoned.Every song he touches becomes a gem.If we were able, I would wish him eternal life.

On 29 November 2003, an event called the 46664 Concert was held at Green Point Stadium, Cape Town. It was hosted by Mandela and its goal was to raise awareness of the spread of HIV/AIDS in South Africa. What a mysterious world we live in to be able to follow a song for 37 years from the the end of one injustice of racist brutality to the unspeakable horror of a pandemic. I still have hope for the better angels of our nature.

And the tears still flow.

RESPECT to Stephen Biko and Patrice Lumumba as well.

We love you Steve Biko this world would be a better place if all people would be like you Steve Biko we will always remember you as we remember Madiba Mandela thank you Steven Biko Africa and the rest of the world will always love you the world is still watching you are a hero Steve Biko 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

God Bless Steven Biko and Peter Gabriel

Ironically, those surviving South African policemen involved in the brutal murder of Steve Biko, watched this concert as free men. - Never arrested. Never charged. Never held accountable for their crimes

I can't help but look at that choir, such proud people! Peter and Madiba make me proud to be a human being.

Will always be my favorite Peter Gabriel song - to everyone willing to put their lives on the line to combat social injustice - the angels are awaiting the likes of you.

On every level, this is impossibly powerful.

„Business as usual in Policeroom 619“... Hard to accept but reality all over the world!

THE EYES OF THE WORLD ARE ARE STILL WATCHING.

You can blow out a candle but you cant blow out a fire..once the winds began to catch the wind will blow it higher.

Thankyou to Peter Gabriel, Steven Van Zandt, Jerry Dammers, Simple Minds, who all gave this young Yorkshireman a musical education. Biko, Sun City, Free Nelson Mandela, Mandela Day - they opened my eyes and made me aware

✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿 For Nelson Mandela, Oliver Tambo, Walter Sisulu, Hector Piterson, all who Died During Apartheid............ For Steve Biko, AMALDA!!!!!!

Finally, played where it should had, in the first place! Well done Peter! Long live Biko! Our everlasting love from Greece (... from where, was, Mr. Mandela's lawyer, who tried so hard, for many years, to save him, from the claws of Apartheid!)

STEPHEN BANTU BIKO !! You will be missed for ever my brother.

March 6, 2021 marks the 1st time I have heard this song. Life-changing !

Beautiful! A very moving song. Peter Gabriel sings it with his heart and soul

Best version ever! This choir is chilling. Amazing.

A la mémoire de Steven BIKO ! le grand homme de l'afrique du sud ! Ne jamais l'oublier !

The significance is unprecedented. Love this forever wow

omg. What a moving moment. Even PG is quite moved unusually. Singing this fantastic song there is something he remembers for sure...

Soldier of Lord GOD has fallen.!1 innocent soul, dead may never die till get justice then will RIP.!!

With only ONE COLOUR; DEAD... R.I.P. Steven Biko - Feb.2021

I cant believe I haven’t ever heard this song, I actually heard it at the end of an old 1986 tv Show Miami Vise. I have played literally 50 times and still replaying it because it has touched that much. I was a young man when this song was played in 1986 but I am a older man who still loves Music. This Song has Touched my Soul, I remember the Fall of the Apartheid in South Africa, America has went through it, I don’t believe it’s here anymore for the most part, but I believe Hatred for our Fellow Human being will continue as long as the World exists.

Fantastic to display the wonderful work of Peter Gabriel! God bless Biko and Peter and everyone from Patrick

Perfeito . Homem de coragem Peter Gabriel todo o meu respeito !!!

I was look for this song. didn't know who sing it but now 👍 up.

Wow, this is absolutely astonishing. Hopefully I get a chance to see this man in concert.

COOL... VERY CO!!!! RIP STEVE BIKO SDS FONTANA SOUTHERN BRASIL

🍃Sensacional!!! A música tem múltiplos poderes... unificar idéias, tem o poder de mobilização, de homenagear a história, pessoas, enfim de transmitir magníficas emoções. Belo exemplo. Adorei.🍃⚘😊👍🇧🇷

In the mid 80's I was studying at UMIST. Me and mates used to go to the Bowling Green in Manchester, behind the MRI. Most Friday nights the house solo muscian (Steve Lee?, he was blind) played this on his guiter. It never failed to bring the house down.

thank u for this concert i didnt see yet before, would love to watch the entire concert

Die beste Hymne des 20.Jahrhunderts. Und gesungen vom beste Interpreten.

Thank you Peter Gabriel and RIH Steven Biko 🙏🏿✊🏿 ❤🌹

ont ne s'en lasse pas ..ENORME...

Stunning song never heard this before

Wunderbarer Song für die Menschenrechte ❤❤❤❤💞

Goosebumps.... great song

Beautiful song! Thank you so much for sharing and God bless all from Patrick

Always liked this song by Peter Gabriel. Biko was tortured and killed by Security Police on September 11, 1977. Notorious Gideon Nieuwoudt was the one who carried out the orders for Biko to be beaten badly and take that long ride to Pretoria to die knowing that it was called "The White City" at that time. Hospitals in Pretoria refused to treat or heal blacks.

Im a middle ages white guy I have no right to feel the way I do about this song. But this song kills me each and everytime I listen to it.

Yes, the eyes of the world are watching now.

Even better than the Concert for Nelson Mandela in England.

Este tema con unas gaitas te hace llorar.

I often wonder if people around the world, besides South Africa, would know who Mr Biko was if not for Mr Gabriel's song. Everything was FREE MANDELLA in the U.S.OF A. Read the book and watch the movie 'Cry Freedom'.

they need to watch out for EVERYONE

e' un dichiarazione commovente per tutti i prigionieri politici che hanno sacrificato la loro vita per un ideale

superbe ! merveilleux !

i read about his story in a book.. 😊🤟 then i went there to check it out for myself 😲❤️

This song is an emotional one big time!

I feel at home here thanks to PG

everyone send this to twitter , would it be fitting if this song crashed twitter .

Yihla Moja means "Come spirit" in Xhosa (a South African language).

beautiful and enigmatic :)

Un grande della musica rock

Bantu Stephen Biko was murdered, not killed. If one is going to protest, say the truth, Mr. Peter Gabriel.

the world ! would tkan so much is a great man human petter Gabriel vehter hot or col

تحياتي الخالصة لكل اخواننا من ادم وحواء

Free Palestine!!! The eyes of the world, are.., still, watching! And, we, had enough of it! No more walls!!!

september 2019 business as usual in all xinjiang

This song can be heard in the 1980s television series "Miami Vice", (episode: 'Evan').

How many times can one song break your heart?

Legend!!!

Wow.

Never forgett. God bless you all.

great........

September TWELFTH, (12) actually, Peter

I wonder what Steven Biko would think of South Africa now.?

i read about this man.. in abook 🤟

BLM!🙋🏽‍♂️

Fucking Beautiful, not a racist thought or action; just human loving human.

I THINK YOU WILL FIND IT TOOK PLACE IN CAPE TOWN AT THE GREEN POINT STADIUM .

Qui connaissait S Biko hors des frontieres d'A Sud en 80? Par contre un public plutôt blanc ! C'est devenu en hymne

Europe, know that we don’t feel you owe us anything.

How long was the song banned in South Africa and was this in fact his first performance of Biko there?

Credo Mutwa

It could be now

There only one peter

😪😪

You

If you are unable to relate to this song I think you voted for the Sewer Rat, and identify as a Republican

What's this number for

i am dedicating this song to Elon Musk , share this to twitter , remind him that we remember how he really got rich .
