    I performed this song at a southern private high school in the US in October 1986 with full bagpipes -- I WAS NEVER PERMITTED TO PERFORM AGAIN AT THAT SCHOOL. I don't regret a moment of my eight-minute performance. I can still see the looks on the administrators' faces today.

    Stephen Biko was an anti-apartheid activist in South Africa who was murdered by police.
    Peter Gabriel has used the yodel effect on a number of tracks. I've seen him perform this track live. The audience always join in with the end chant creating a special emotional moment.

    "The rest is up to you" is what Peter said at the end of the song.

      Gabriel has always embodied the term "World Music". There may be people who are better at it, but I don't know about them. He's still pushing international acts into the spotlight, which I find incredibly amazing. Listen/Watch his "Secret World Live" video is one of the most epic experiences out there and shows the flexibility. Shankar, Papa Wemba, the list goes on and on. As you pointed out, an amazing example of "inclusiveness."

    Thanks guys- I had never seen that live version. I always found the studio version extremely emotional, but this was off the charts.
    PG is a very political, cause-oriented artist who is also, in my opinion, a genius, across the board.
    He started with Genesis and then went on to a very successful solo career. I don’t remember if you reacted to him before, but his catalog is deep and varied.

  • @Pru1PC

    When I saw Peter Gabriel perform this in the 80’s I had no idea what this song was, it was his show closer and it really hit home. His stage presence and use of traditional artists/musicians In his performances is unlike any I have ever seen. Truly one one the best stage performers out there. I suggest you try a live version of “In You Eyes”!

    That's a poncho type cape you can find in the Andean region of Peru and Chili. The flutists are a well known group from that region. It is interesting that he's using very "local" musicians to back up his music on this one. In his other recording he's using different back up musicians. Not sure the country this is happening in, but it is in South American. His Spanish ability is noteworthy when he addresses his audience.

    To me Biko was more of threat than Mandela he was able to unite all tribes of South Africa and as the song says you can blow out a candle but you cannot blow out a fire that was Biko.✌️
    Love Peter Gabriel in your eyes talk about musician from around the world

  • @mark-be9mq
    @mark-be9mq 2 года назад +4

    I think it was said but the song is about Steven Biko a Black South African man & founder of the Black Consciousness Movement, which sought to empower Blacks and protest the strick racial segregationist policy of Apartheid they lived under I'm South Africa until 1994.
    Due to the popularity of his work He was banned from moving outside of his town.
    On August 17 he tried meet at night w/another leader when he was stopped check point by police, arrested, interrogated, stripped, beaten for three weeks. He died as the song says in September(6), '77, by repeated blunt force trauma to the brain.
    At the time of the performance, Apartheid was still the law of the land in South Africa.
    God Bless.

      This was a performance recorded at the 1990 Amnesty International concert "An Embrace of Hope" in Santiago, Chile. I think there are several other "better" live recordings of Biko, Peter's performance for Nelson Mandela's birthday comes to mind. But this is a very significant performance because Chile's Truth and Reconciliation Commission into the over 30000 tortured and 2200 "Disappeared " Chileans during the Pinochet rule had just been convened. Sinéad O’Connor performed a powerful Nothing Compares 2 U, Jackson Brown did Lives in The Balance, and STING of course performed his haunting song written about the disappeared They Dance Alone. A concert for the ages in Chile.

    11. February 1990 - one of the greatest days in history. Biko's contribution to the end of apartheid would never have been forgotten, bot this truly great song and Peter Gabriel enhanced his memory, the impact of his and all other's struggle to end apartheid and surely to some extent accelerated the release of Nelson Mandela and subsequent democratisation of South Africa. Maybe a boringly logical comment, I'm welling up though - from a 50 yr old Danish white cisgender male who grew up with all kinds of rural prejudices, but have managed to throw them away or at least mostly be aware of when they resurface.

    How many songs have a real effect on the world? This is one of them. Part of the anti-Apartheid movement that helped bring down the racist regime in South Africa. I have never seen this version before. But how astounding. Singing in Chile for Amnesty International for the memories of the disappeared in that country, and with Sting at his side. How moving. When I've seen Gabriel, he generally ends the show, and lets the audience continue the singing as they leave the stage. The message: it's in your hands now.
    I've seen him four times so far. First at the Garden when he surprised the audience joining his former Genesis bandmates for the encore of the And Then There Were Three tour. Next time was at the Ritz for the Shock the Monkey tour. Then twice more at the Garden. I'm looking forward to seeing for the fifth time with my daughter this fall.

    Apartheid was a political hot button and because the white wealthy in Sun City (a resort destination) in South Africa were so out of control artists (such as Peter) refused to play there (have concerts). At one point an album was done with many many artists called Artists Against Apartheid, and was an awesome display of musicians, singers and political, human rights call to arms. Check it out some time.

    He sings passionately and rightly about the abhorrent death of Steve Biko an activist who knew his stance put him in great danger yet made the conscious decision to continue he died in police custody in 1978 ,
    yet th world conscious freedom fighting activist is silent over the industrial wholescape rape of white working class women in hi own country, after this song was acclaimed did he stay around and protect South Africa’s future , no he fucked off back to his Wiltshire home and cheated on his partner ,
