BIKO
September '77
Port Elizabeth weather fine
It was business as usual
In Police Room 619
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
- The man is dead
The man is dead
When I try to sleep at night
I can only dream in red
The outside world is black and white
With only one colour dead
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja,
- The man is dead
The man is dead
You can blow out a candle
But you can't blow out a fire
Once the flame begins to catch
The wind will blow it higher
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
- The man is dead
- The man is dead
And the eyes of the world are watching now
Watching now

I was 24 in Toronto, so over Genesis w/out Peter. This. This. In concert. My life changed. I now donate to Amnesty, UN, and my local mental health agency. It's as much as I can do in my limited capacity.
We're we that young?

Oh, please, Mr. Gabriel, you have us begging here for some more songs from this concert! Donโt leave us in agony, release this concert, please!

Saw him play this a dozen times in Chicago in the 80's. Some of the best times in my youth. All acting as one, unforgettable. Completely unforgettable

Only just come across this. I was at that show and have to confess that for many years I told anyone who would listen that I had seen Peter Gabriel play Biko live with the Drummers of Burundi. It was only a couple of years ago that I read an article which pointed out that it was Ekome Dance Company. Woops.
Anyway, so happy to see this video and find it really was as good as I thought. It was such a great time for music - so much variety from 1979-1983 - one of the true golden periods.

I think I was 16 when I saw this. It woke up the world. We need more to be memorialize in the fight for freedom in this tied world.

Fabulous Peter. We seem to have lost our way and forgotten that people have the power to change the world.

This is the best performance of "Biko" that I have seen! If you look at the audience, they are also thoroughly enjoying it as well! Back then people knew how to simply enjoy the moment - there are no mobile phones trying to record the concert!

I got to see this magnificent human being perform this epic song Live in 1986 in Denver, CO. โฎ๏ธ โค๏ธ

Steven Biko and Nelson Mandella were both leaders in the South African struggle against Apartheid. Steven Biko never survived his arrest experience. A symbol of the struggle of racism then as well as now. Decades later under Nelson Mandella's leadership, South Africa's political world did change.

Just once I would like to listen to this version of this song without a commercial.

a proper release of the whole performance would be a true blessing. please, peter!

So fantastic to see this. I'm there, grinning and clapping in the front row with my home made 'PeterGabriel' white banner, aged 17, having queued up all day outside the Showering Pavilion. Please release more from this concert.

I was there in crowd that night, aged 16. I wasn't a Gabriel fan, but this song blew me away and put the hairs up on my neck, it was an incredible atmosphere in there. Kate Bush was standing next to me wearing a Barbour jacket and with a flat cap on. Echo and The Bunnymen were superb too, as were The Drummers of Burundi
