I always though it was she's so popular but Now that I know Jeux sans frontiers makes much more sense... Great Energy here I love this energy , too bad I am sick right now :(
my wife and I were there. the tickets cost more than we ever paid.....more than worth it. this video is but a cheap imitation. the whole night was incredible.
I think this is the theme for the week. Looks like the ante is being upped. Track says it all...love how the oldies can put the track over, a wee bit tongue in cheek from Sting though!.
"shes so popular" "shes so popular" love that bit even though it only sounds like those lyrics.lol classic song back at the turn of the 70s-80s decade. the dawn of pop videos
@@lisabellamy8424 thanks for your reply.makes me glad I Paid attention in my French classes😀. Recently discovered those French lyrics myself but can't help thinking that they sound like what I said they were no matter how carefully you listen to them😀
@@nickreid9460 Kate Bush is singing them. When other folks-Sting, for example-who speaks French well-sing it, it comes much closer to what it actually says.
Classic song. Unique sound. Peter Gabriel is a musical genius. So many great memories of hearing this on the radio when it came out. I sure wish Peter would go back to the jacket cool look he pulled off so well. Many speculated, when he first started showing up on MTV, that he'd become a movie star with his looks and style. The camera simply loved him. Sure, I know he's older and bald, etc. But still. He's not doing himself any favors with the hoodie and baggy look at all. Way too pervasive, one could almost say 'corporate' in its pervasiveness in mass media and advertising today. Ironic, since Peter was always a rebel. Sad to see him pander to that style. It's almost as if people have given up on trying to look both good and have a style of their own. Sting, another musical genius, and always very conscious of his public image, thank goodness, has not donned the hoodie look...yet.
I agree totally, he looks like 'the scruff' who'd you see sat on a bench smoking dope in the street. He ought to get a suit or some decent clothes and smarten himself up, then more people would respect him!
It's a shame that after finally hearing this with the original album arrangement, they couldn't find the right keyboard sounds: And I mean I don't need to hear the original gear and synth patches, but I expect synth patches that better fulfill their role in the arrangement. I dislike this whole trend of disowning our synth heritage and saying "oh well, we can make do with an accordion for all parts". Having the original synth bass would've been AWESOME.
@@OnKeyboards This is different from the original in many ways. It has not the synth bass because they have a bass player. Like the rhythm ist not a drum machine like in the original. Next thing is: you assemble a band from seasoned professional players and don't care to dig up original synthg patches but telling them "play your stuff and take care of everything yourself". Don't think that Peter Gabriel pays too much attention on original synth patches.
I wanted to see Peter for decades, but THIS is why I chose not to go see him. I don't want to see Sting singing PG's songs, and vice versa. I was so disappointed that he was not touring by himself. He is still godlike in my eyes.
I saw Gabriel (and Sting) perform in Seattle. Lifetime fan of Gabriel's work but I found the two didn't quite jibe. This was actually one of their better songs IMO. (I've also seen The Police, and later, Sting perform in L.A. back in the day; nothing against them/him).
Totally love what they are doing together. I lov❤e how Peter Gabriel constantly evolves and adapts as he gets older🖤
I just love this!! excellent colab!!!
Two legends of rock singing together. I can't believe it !
I love THIS combo . Genius
This song was the bomb back in the day....where does the time go?
I always though it was she's so popular but Now that I know Jeux sans frontiers makes much more sense... Great Energy here I love this energy , too bad I am sick right now :(
2 huge icons!! good music is eternal!!
what a delight such a GREAT SONG! Sting oh the man Still hasn't lost it🔥🔥🔥
Two legends that is sting and Peter Gabriel singing this piece of brilliance.
I can't get through this video... without tears 😭. Superb, Gentlemen. Well done.
oh man 2 Rock Legends of all Time playing this Classic Song that is awesome!
What an incredible band of legends
my wife and I were there. the tickets cost more than we ever paid.....more than worth it. this video is but a cheap imitation. the whole night was incredible.
This is brilliant...
Two of the bests...
Every live version of this is so different
Increible ...
Way Cool!!
I think this is the theme for the week. Looks like the ante is being upped. Track says it all...love how the oldies can put the track over, a wee bit tongue in cheek from Sting though!.
YummY - YummY !!!
Hilarious like hell!
Lyrics are so telling.
Great Job Todd :-)
❤️
eternos
Så mange? So many on the scene. ? A beautiful Melody. What about Miles playing Jack Johnson? From Dag
I saw Mr. Gabriel in Stuttgart in 1987. Very eclectic and odd but an outstanding performer.
in that outfit Peter looks like Gru from Despicable Me
Or a jedi knight...
Or Dr Evil! 😀
like the french in this song fun concert
Needs Kate Bush's "Jeux sans frontières"!
Manu and Vinnie ... Jobs done!
That's not Manu Katche, it's Ged Lynch.
@@robinjohnson6301 I'm not talking about the guy on the right, But isn't that Manu, in the middle? (percussion) Sure looks like him.
@@chipolatajones6358 No that's Rhani Krija - Sting's percussionist.
@@robinjohnson6301 - looking at it again, you're absolutely right, I'm old my eyes aren't so good anymore! :D
At least he moves around well. Phil Collins has a cane now,and he is about a year younger than Peter.
Phil Collins has a degenerative neurological impairment, and other health issues. He can't really play drums anymore because of this.
Aye, we never know what inner demons we have.
I would have lost my fucking mind if I was there.
whoever expected Peter Gabriel and Madonna's dancing abilities would eventually be equals
lol
RIP Me XD
Gabriel Sting giant
Not the same without Kate whispering "Jeux sans frontiers".
Kate bush?
@@jaredtheiss4551 yes
Yeah but she doesn't really perform live much anymore, it's a shame. And apparently her and Peter aren't really in contact, either :-/
"shes so popular" "shes so popular" love that bit even though it only sounds like those lyrics.lol classic song back at the turn of the 70s-80s decade. the dawn of pop videos
It’s not. It’s French-Jeux sans frontieres-and the song is an indictment of the childish behaviour of adults.

Thanks for that info. As for the theme of the song it does kind of tie in with the cold war
@@nickreid9460yes but he's really talking about when it gets decidedly hotter
Genius song inspired by the American boycott of the Russian Olympics in 1980 I believe.
Also, you have to factor in family history,and heredity.Some people get heavier with age,others do not.Does not always mean there is a health issue.
If the smallest fly had joined this combo, the stage would have exploded.
Keyboard player is pretty hot.

Yes I also hate that billy ellshit second hand dirty oversized pajamas "look"

Why does Peter always wear the same clothes?
Many of the concerts done in LA have some pretty pathetically dead crowds. These are two icons and the crowd acts like they are napping. come on peeps
Shame they couldn't get the proper keyboard tuning.
What exactly do you mean? As you say: they're keyboards. It's actually not easy to detune them.

I don’t understand what people see in Sting. Peter is legendary. Sting is like a singer in a cocktail lounge.
He is now, he used to be a rock and roller back in the day
Looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger lost all his muscle..
...looks like Sting had some work done....
Couple of English blokes
That face you pull after you've tasted spoiled milk--- When you're used to the original version, and then watch this..
This isn't bad at all.
always haters out there….smh….I thought it was great
Thankfully, Peter will be leaving Sting off his next tour.
Old guys
I wanted to see Peter for decades, but THIS is why I chose not to go see him. I don't want to see Sting singing PG's songs, and vice versa. I was so disappointed that he was not touring by himself. He is still godlike in my eyes.
This was a unique tour, I'm sure there will be more tours, and you missed his "Back to Front" tour, 2012-2014, which was fantastic.
I effen luv Vinnie Colaiuta but he looks completely lost here.
I'm not liking any of these versions. I'm glad I didn't pay a million dollars for these tickets.
I saw Gabriel (and Sting) perform in Seattle. Lifetime fan of Gabriel's work but I found the two didn't quite jibe. This was actually one of their better songs IMO.
(I've also seen The Police, and later, Sting perform in L.A. back in the day; nothing against them/him).
Or pay $85 like the rest of us.
hahahahhaah
One of my all time favourite 80s songs, shame about the dad dancing from pete and sting!
1991 live version is better than this
Sounds awful.
