Yep, it is. It's on the first Gabriel solo album which is my fav., but "Here comes the flood" is also very good.
I have DVD Gabriel's gig in Rockpalast 1979 (with Tony Levin) where he performed " Moribund"

Peter Gabriel 3 is in my top five greatest albums of all time, he also happens to be my favirote songwriter!
Any love for family snapshot? -------------

When you say "I just discovered Burgermeister now", what you really mean is you discovered the whole album just now, right? Not just the 1 song? Because you don't illegally download, you buy albums, right? And because you know that Peter Gabriel 1 is definitely an album worth buying, right? He's my favourite songwriter. The Growing Up DVD is absolutely mind-blowing. |

Oh yeah! One of the best albums of all time. I know "Family Snapshot" is about the Kennedy assassination, but did you ever notice the similarities to John Hinckley? ------------- a.k.a. H.T. http://riekels.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow - http://riekels.wordpress.com |

2 has always been my fave, I like the harsh bleakness of it and Fripp's cold production is just perfect. White Shadow, Mother of Violence, Exposure - and of course the very excellent On The Air (a song that PG's old drummer would later rework for his famous "Walking On The Air" single about a Snowman that runs off with a Painter who does not require a jacket, even in the heaviest snow... I think..) ------------- What? |

Uggghhh
I cant stand 2, it's simply not peter gabriel to me.
I want Passion and Up, but my wishlist is huge, so it will be a while before I get those. -------------

Each to his own. It's not an easy-listening album by any stretch and quite difficult to get into, but ultimately rewarding never-the-less, (a bit like RIO albums are).
As Shaking the Tree does not contain a single track from "2" I'd say the record company wasn't that fond of it either.  ------------- What? |

I'm a huge PG fan, but I also am not a fan of 2. In fact, strangely enough, of the trilogy of albums that Fripp produced in the late 70's/early 80's, including his Exposure and Daryl Hall's Sacred Songs, the only one I don't care for is 2. ------------- I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you? |

I've had the vinyl from my dad for ages, yet I never listened to it, I don't have the CD either. So, no, I don't illegally download, I just listened to the vinyl for the first time. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/mattmacneil/?chartstyle=red">

Ah, back on topic: Moribund the Burgermeister was a great live song. His early solo concerts were very stripped-down and back to basics (in contrast to the theatre of PG-era Genesis) with only white lighting and very few on-stage theatrics. Moribund just about the only time where PG would "act" the song on stage, using a platform with up-lighters to illuminate his whole body during the "But I will find out" sections. Very simple but very effective.  ------------- What? |

Up is my favorite Gabriel album! It's simply amazing. Much better then the mediocre"Us" or "Ovo". Passion is my second favorite.  |

Back to 1 for a minute. My favorite song there is Humdrum. Very expansive. But I'll agree that 3 is a better album.

| I think the intro to Here Comes the Flood, especially coming out of the bombastic Down the Dolce Vita, is my ultimate musical goosebump moment. |

Up is one of my favorite albums ever. Sadly, I don't have any of the untitled ones yet, just Up, So, and Passion. All three are very good, but Up is several notches above. -------------  <font color=white>butts, lol[/COLOR] |

All his DVDs are excellent, as well (especially Growing Up, which is mind-blowing). |

Been fan of Gabriel for a long time. I have listened to most of his solo albums and he has really great songs there. I like especially his live performances. -------------

Yes, Moribund is an ultra-cool song.
And yes, I am a Gabby fan
