Amazing, just one man and a piano. Been a fan since I discovered Pawn Hearts in 1972
2021 and I'm proudly still here. Peter Hammill is the narrator of my life since I was 14... I'm 30 yrs old now.
Ti amo Peter, from Italy ❤️
And of mine since I was about 9 and I'm a mere 60 now - once discovered never put aside
The Best singer-songwriter of all time.
"Best" is always subjective but "unique" certainly fits. I know no other musician/songwriter who is comparable to him. A legend that's sadly almost unknown outside a small niche
A man and his piano putting every (!!!) other artist to shame.
He's a genius🎉utterly underrated
There really is not, nor has there ever been, anyone quite like Peter Hammill.
My God, am I dreaming? Peter in THAT Cape, and such good sound and picture quality. Handsome, otherworldly and incredibly Talented. Wow. 🧛♂️🖖⚡🎤🎶💜👌
In Camera from the same year is an absolute masterpiece .Great to see this footage of a genius in his prime .
PH has been and is my my favorite song writer, singer , philosopher, sociologist, human, collective conciseness . He taught me to look deep into myself and understand me. Saw him in Lisbon some time in the late 90’s , guitar, piano on a opera house, simply divine. I was screaming all the versus along with him. What an incredible experience! Next April 2022 I got tickets to see him with VDGG in Luxembourg at the Rockhall !! Petter Hammil 4 ever!!
well worth a go! guy hugh and peter they still kicking ass and rocking!
THE BEST TV APPEARANCE EVER BY PETER!
At the beggining Peter is wearing the cape...bliss
Back in the 1980s I got a job as a bouncer at the El Mocambo in Toronto (I got fired after three weeks for not being aggressive enough). The highlight of my tenure was seeing Peter Hammill, moving brilliantly from piano to guitar & back again. Between sets he sold his poetry books. The man blew me away with his passion.
I was at that show - amazing! - seen VDGG at Massey Hall 1976 too
Magnifique !Peter Hammill au sommet,voix sublime, émotion suprême,quel document !
Oui,sans aucun doute le meilleur document vidéo de l immense Peter,au sommet de son Art!
PH is the most unique songwriter/singer ever. You either love or hate him. I am a lifelong fan but can easily understand if you fall into the second category. VERY demanding and difficult stuff and his overly dramatic singing and "ugly" voice is too much for most people. Never met someone who even knows of him but I am sure that future generations will recognize him as one of the greatest geniuses in music of our times.
He's brilliant
I think Peter Gabriel falls a bit into his "category". With the "ugly" voice and pathetic delivery. They both are my favourite singers.

I also love Gabriel but he's way more pleasant sounding than Hammill.
Especially live, PH is quite extreme with his screaming and often there's not any melody at all.
Early Fish with Marillion also comes into my mind, very PH-like, especially on their 2nd album Fugazi
@@seghj At least i always have the two on the same pedestal. Probably because of the nature of the lyrics and the vocal delivery- But you are right, Gabriel is more "pleasant".
I have been a fan of Peter Hammill since the 70s ; I have most of his albums ( and VDGG's) . I think his singing is incredible : he started off as a choirboy . He has a very good vocal range , and compared to Peter Gabriel ( whom I also like ) , his lyrical articulation and phrasing is so much better in my opinion . John Lydon and Nick Cave , among others , are huge fans of Hammill's , who is indeed a remarkable musician , and one rock music's finest lyricists .
Spero che tra 1000 anni esisterà ancora questo filmato. Gli uomini del futuro devono assolutamente sapere chi era Peter Hammill.
Peter at his prime. Unbeatable.
Increíble Peter.
Argentina Love you !!!!
of course the best video document we have about Peter Hammill and surely the best live solo versions of Forsaken Gardens and A Louse Is not a Home I heard
Blown away to find this quality recording of PH performing one of my favourite albums. Caught this tour at the Wigmore Hall in London; one of those performances that stays with you down the years.
Such a high-quality live performance.so much sadness and talent
This is a treasure
irraggiungibile Peter
Not an easy listen, and that is how it should be. Peter bares and gives his very soul in this performance and we are incredibly privileged to experience genius on this level. What a musician and poet he is - and even though he can be hard to listen to at times, he is never less than giving and rewarding to those who persevere for the long haul.
Without doubt, ''The Lie'' is sublime and ''Forsaken Gardens'' is almost soothing - and then he hits you with ''A Louse is not a Home''. Quintessential Hamill and almost a Shakespearian tragedy in music.
First time I heard it I thought ''What the fuck have I just listened to?'' But I always come back for more.
Documento Historico de Peter Hammill.una obra de arte
WOW!!! sans mots. Puissance de sa voix!!!!
Fabuleux document, bien mieux filmé qu'à la Télévision française !
Songs from The Silent Corner and The Empty Stage, and the cape from In Camera.
I think I’ve always wanted to see that cape in it’s natural habitat. I am richer for it now.
Yes the cape from In Camera how wonderful !
Absolutely Great Performance of Mr. Hammill!!
Nice cape! But cape apart, this is a brilliant performance captured very well
Wow......... just Wowwwww.......
No words for this one. I’ve been proven conclusively wrong in my every conscious considerations.
At least the spelling is an honest error!
Thank heavens I am not crazy or stupid as I would not be capable of appreciating the divine rapture of this.
Wow, one of my favourite albums of all time . Great to see this. I wonder where the cape is now. It didn't really catch on. Thanks.
merci tres bon
C'est tout un vidéo!!!
Wow!❤
This is excellent! Very much appreciated!
never seen this before! Fantastic!!! Thanks for sharing!
I had so many hours of dispress listening to it ...love it.so much béautifull so much sad memories for me..
Восхитительно
Poetry!
This is fantastic, thanks.
Most people are maybe not aware that Peter Hammill ( I'm a huge fan btw ) released a book of poems in 1974 called Killers, Angels, Refugees . Even John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten ) is a fan of PH, and that says a lot.
Браво!
Sin dudas
best solo period for PH....though The Future Now & after period had some good output!
thank you 💐
Très fort!
Quelle trouvaille, merci.
Un de mes albums préférés, un VDGG sous son nom.
Vodka orange ?
Maravilhoso! Obrigado por postar!
Fantastico!!!!!!!! Peter Hammill voce e pianoforte!!!!!!!! Grandi,grandissime emozioni davvero!!!!!!!!! I musicisti di ieri, come es HAMMILL avevano molte ma MOLTE marce in più rispetto a quelli di oggigiorno!!!!!!!!!! Il rap,la trap, il pop usa e getta odierno, permettetemi...che SCHIFO!!!!!!! Niente a che vedere con le bellezze artistiche musicali veramente geniali che sapevano elargirci gente artisti con la A maiuscola come Hammill, Gabriel, Emerson , Lake, Anderson, Wetton, J Anderson, Fripp, Frith, Hodgkinson, F Zappa, G Brooker, M Dunford, Way, Monkman, Derek Shulman, Minnear, Barrett, Waters, Gilmour, ed altri ancora!!!!!!!!!!! Dite quel che volete ma le IDEE,la musica che componevano ed interpretavano gli artisti di IERI STRABATTE NETTAMENTE quello che si ascolta e impera oggigiorno!!!!!!!!!!!!
un mito!
Eblouissant
I wish I knew French so I can understand what the presenter is saying
Moi aussi !
This is an awesome find.
I saw VDGG in 1976 at the ATSV Hall, Saarbrucken, GER.
