    Will never forget Oct.20,1978. Gabriel's tour supporting his first album after leaving Genesis. Front row center with Steve Zuidema and Brad Hayoz. Gabriel finishes his encore and leaves the stage. The three of us along with a smidgen of others continued to cheer and clap 20 minutes after house lights come on. With the bouncers threatening to remove us physically. Gabriel steps out of the wings to the front of the stage, directly in front of us. Takes a shallow bow towards us, and says "This is for you". Sits down at the Grand Piano and plays 'Here Comes the Flood' solo....💜

      Great story. I saw Gabriel's concert in Cardiff, Wales in the same year. No special performance for us. I guess we gave up too soon. Gabriel often had something unexpected up his sleeve. Amazing.

      And the next tour, after the second album, he played UCLA's Grand Ackerman ballroom. After the encore, the lights came on and everyone left but maybe fifty people. Roadies unplugging the equipment. Lights on. Stupid people yelling "More More More". As if Gabriel was going to come out because 50 idiots wouldn't leave. Yes, he came out. In a black leather biker jacket circa 1974. And played a song on the piano. The name of the song: "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway." Glad I was 19 years old and dumb enough to stay after the show.

    The best live performance ever by him. Honest, intimate, raw, right down to the core. Just a man and his piano. So very moving, powerful and beautiful. This is my favorite song of Peter's to begin with, but this more mature live performance now takes it right over the top for me. Artistry at its finest here :-)

      This version of "Here Comes the Flood" is on Robert Fripp's 1979 album "Exposure". Peter Gabriel still performs it (not Robert Fripp) & it's always been my favorite version of this song. It's even better to hear tracks 14, 15, & 16 of that album together because they tie in to the song & are an awesome artistic statement on climate change.

    English Progressive Rock was an explosion of creativity, and it's fascinating to listen to how its small community of performers moved on after the subgenre began to fade from public approval after 1975. Gabriel found a simpler, but sophisticated style that gave him plenty of room for artistic expression but retained his mass audience. His was one of the more successful transitions.

    I've heard Peter talk about the dream he once had that inspired this song. I suppose to each of us this song has a different meaning. And that's fine I suppose. To me, I always felt it was about the grieving process. I got the news recently that my eleven year old grandson, and 6 month old grand-daughter will be moving 1500 miles away in June. Words cannot express the pain I am feeling in my heart. My only solice comes from knowing that my troubles are trivial when compared with the great suffering that is going on in other places in the world today. I will miss them.

    One of the best performances of this song which really sounds better on acoustic piano thant on electric piano.
