Not sure why you posted it but it’s a tribute to how conservatives can be happy even in bleak times. Thanks for adding to the variety.

I have always liked his music.

I find “Mercy Street” to be an evocative, haunting song.

His live version of “Biko” at Live Aid in ‘85 is one the greatest concert videos on YouTube that I’ve ever watched.

I remember when Gabriel left Genesis. Some people were saying it would be the ruin of both. Of course Solsbury Hill let the world know Gabriel was going to be just fine, and one listen to Follow You, Follow Me let us know Genesis was left in good hands as well.

Saw him live twice. Absolutely astounding concerts.

Saw Gabriel once at San Jose State in 1979 when I was still in middle school - my first live concert, and it set my expectations too high for live concerts =).

I saw him that year in November. And a couple years after that.

The African singer doing In Your Eyes was one of the best things I’ve ever seen live.

Band was great.

This concert I wish I saw live.

A trip back to a time when popular music was truly outstanding and enjoyed by a broad swath of people. Quite unlike things today, where all have been pigeonholed by the internet and fed sonic pablum.
