I'm very pleased...

"Here Comes the Flood" is one of my favourite Peter Gabriel songs. It has strong melody and spirit!

Exactly ! Especially when I was singing (I couldn't resist) these higher tones.

"Lord, here comes the flood" is good, but in the end - "Drink up, dreamers, youre running dry." is impossible to sing. Oh, by the way - right after it is this wonderful solo. Great one guys, great one.

If you don't believe with "Drink up", try it yourself. Please, somebody kick me in my balls so I could be able to sing it. Yeah, somebody has great voice (like Peter G.), somebody (like me) not.
There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless,"

I've never seen the Kate Bush Special, so thanks Lucas for sharing this - incredible, and a definite forerunner of the live version I put in the poll.

Is that one mellow too?
I think it's practically identical to the original.


Oh no, it's VERY far from the original, Peter was not pleased with the original, so he re-recorded this quiet simple version.

Has to be the original with Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner on guitar.Those guys were 2 outstanding session guitarist's.  a la Lou Reed's - Rock and Roll Animal & Alice Cooper's -Welcome to my Nightmare etc. They seemed to travel around with Bob Ezrin at that time.

By the way, my house is between two creeks, speak not of this flood thing. LOL

Just what I was about to say.  That was the first only version I've heard, so I've got a soft spot for it.

Yes, so did I, and you are right. The emotion and the feeling it produced in the autitorium was incredible. That is why, actually, it was a bit of a hard choice for me.
