Here's a 1/2 hour video of Peter Hammill that was broadcast on Swiss TV in 1974. He plays a few songs from his current album The Silent Corner... I don't think this is on YouTube yet so the link is to my VdGG/PH Facebook page where I posted the vid this morning. Hope this will work https://fb.watch/4a9dHY_ETE/" rel="nofollow - https://fb.watch/4a9dHY_ETE/ ------------- jc |

Phenomenal! What a great find and a real treasure for me since I consider this PH at his prime (not to take away from his myriad subsequent and prodigious quality material). Anyway many thanks for the heads-up Bucka. It is now on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMxOdeNKdXQ" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMxOdeNKdXQ

I didn't know he speaks French. I was aware that he must speak some German; his German pronunciation on "Offensichtlich Goldfisch" is much better than the pronunciation of Peter Gabriel on his two German albums. He also translated some songs of German singer Herbert Grönemeyer (who sings the vocals of the herbalist on Hammill's "The Fall of the House of Usher") into English for Grönemeyer's album with English lyrics. The way he said "Keine Blitzlichter, bitte" ("No flashlights please") at some of his concerts is an indicator for this too; he got the pronunciation totally right while most native English speakers would have problems with the pronunciation of the "ch" in "Blitzlichter". Take for example Robert Calvert in the Hawkwind song "Steppenwolf" where he sings "Ich weiß nicht was ich sagen soll" ("I don't know what to say"); he pronounces the "ch" in "Ich" and "nicht" like the English "sh", which is wrong. When I had my long walk and talk with Peter Hammill (about two hours) before one of his concerts in the late 80s or early 90s we only spoke English though. I still had my hair back then; it started falling out after a traumatic incidence in 1992.
