I Don't Remember - Peter Gabriel

[BootinUp]

Peter Gabriel is celebrating his 76th birthday today.

1. The mix confused me enough that I had to check what mix accompanied the video.

It’s the live single mix I guess. The vocals are a little further forward and sound very proximate in parts. I never noticed this back in days it was on MTv a few times. Love this song and Gabriel era.

2. There is this explanation under the video at youtube

The official 'I Don't Remember' video, directed by Marcello Anciano and produced by Eric Fellner.

I Don't Remember was originally released on Peter's third solo album but this video uses the live single version that was released in support of the Plays Live album, in 1983. That said, it's not exactly the same as the version on the Plays Live album, as this single mix is slightly sped-up, has less crowd noise and an extended instrumental outro.

3. Drums on that album are spectacular!

4. PG3 is brilliant, and my favorite of his albums

That Atlantic dropped Gabriel rather than release the album is a 'real hindsight is 20/20' moment, right up there with Warner/Reprise cutting Wilco loose for having the temerity to record Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.

5. What I Think Is A Top 5 Bass Line Of All Time

Tony Levin playing his MM Saber fretless bass.
Its so liquid.
From the very beginning of the song he hits the high bass notes (oxymoron?) by sliding into them. Great example is around 1:09. Another one at 3:04. Awesome stuff.
This song is probably my favorite PG tune, in part because of the bass.
