peter gabriel – “Mercy Street” video

Posted on Feb. 10, 2007 by Phillip

And here’s an interesting segment from a 1982 documentary about Peter Gabriel showing him with an early Fairlight machine that used floppy disks, those old mammoth 5-inch disks that were called floppy for a reason. This is interesting too (for Gabriel fans).

    Is that his “official” video for it? I’m surprised I never saw it before.

    The Peter Gabriel – The South Bank Show segments are fascinating, where he talks about how he composes, seeing him with his band in the studio, then the transformation to a live performance. He talks about San Jacinto and Rhythm of the Heat, in particular, on two different clips. Wow.
