Peter Gabriel: Artists Who Changed Music - Unveiling the Musical Legacy Of A Living Legend

What are some of your favourite works by Peter Gabriel? Share below!

There are very few channels from whom I will happily (and probably repeatedly) watch an 84 minute video in one sitting. These documentary style videos are just a pure joy to consume, and your talent for education, entertainment, and storytelling are truly unmatched. Thank you for sharing your considerable gifts with the music world, Warren - you're a treasure.

“Melt” and Security for me are the quintessential Peter Gabriel albums in terms of the music itself. “San Jacinto” is the most haunting song I have personally ever heard, especially the ending section. It still makes my hair stand up. I remember being afraid to listen to it as a kid. But now I love it and appreciate it. Nothing I’ve ever heard sounds like that. Nothing.

I am a recent Gabriel convert, and I am so surprised I haven't become obsessed with his music earlier. Everything he does is so creative and thought provoking, just enough weird to keep me guessing, which I love. There is nothing that he has done that I haven't loved.

A true musical genius

Peter Gabriel is beyond legendary

I was lucky enough to see Peter on the final night of his European tour in Dublin to say it was the greatest concert I have ever seen is an understatement everything was mind-blowing the concept of the gig was amazing the Band was in top form, the split screens, the featured artists, the sound, the visuals I could go on and on he played for nearly 3 hours this is a man of 73 he would put to shame most bands out there this gig was an experience and his voice can't believe he still has it after all these years and singing most of those songs in the original keys he sang them when he was a much younger man. Amazing

This is by far the greatest Peter Gabriel history video ever produced. So over the top production and sound quality!! Thank you.

First Rick's 3-hour interview and now PLAP's hour-and-a-half deep dive. Daniel Lanois and Peter Gabriel fans are eating well today!

PG is my all-time fave musician/artist. Since Genesis days. PG can't be equalled.

Currently I can look up at Solsbury Hill from my kitchen window. It's weird how things go... Been a massive Gabriel fan since my teens. I was born and still live in Bath in the UK. I've been lucky enough to be able to see Peter's Real World Studios being built in that time, and also used to live just around the corner from Peter Hammill's old studio (another favourite artist of mine).

I can remember going into town with my dad in winter of 1980 and he gave me some extra cash to buy Gabriel 3 and Remain in Light. My 12 year old mind was blown. I don't think I ever recovered. lol

Can't wait for 19th June. I want to see Tony, John and Peter prance around the stage to Solsbury Hill and my heart go Boom Boom, Boom.

For those who can't watch the entire video, please skip ahead and listen to the last five minutes. You'll get to hear Warren talking about what makes music great. "Great art has to be great art on all levels... Great songs, great performances, the right production ... but I also want lyrics that mean something, and that kick down doors and break down barriers." It's that emotional impact that moves a piece of music from good to great.

Peter Gabriel is just one of the absolute best, living legend. Flying across the Atlantic to see him at O2 Arena soon. See you there! 😄

This one is quite an achievement Warren. I have always admired your thorough consideration of the artists and their process for this series, but it has really begun to converge into a real resource of not only tribute to these works of art and the artists who made them but as an insightful education on what it meant for these musicians to craft their work on the gear and instruments they used to tell their stories. Bravo, my man. Bravo

excellent video, thanks Warren! As a South African I can vouch that Biko was a huge thing for us, it galvanised a large audience worldwide into awareness of what was going on here. Later I went to the SA Womad festival every year and saw a range of wonderful artists from all over the world. Last year I got to play at one! What a legacy this man has left . . .

I consider Peter to be one of the best lyricists in the world. Nothing short of insightful and emotional.

A masterpiece of an artist. His work with world music artists is truely inspirational. He has one hell of a back catalogue and a lover of humanity! Great human being!

No Self Control. Genius
