Signal to Noise - Peter Gabriel live with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
I’ve never been to a Peter Gabriel concert,
and this live video makes me want to go see him live.
Signal to Noise is best explained by the man himself:
I think Signal To Noise, in part, is a cry for activism -
in the sense that there’s a lot of noise out there and the signal would be a sort of goal at the end.
This track was first performed live with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan at the VH1 Honors Awards on 28th April 1996. Unfortunately, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan died before his could record his vocals in the studio. It is thought that his vocals on this track on ‘Up’ are taken from this 1996 performance.
note: he is not seen in this video.
