Used to be a show called "jeux sans frontieres" international tournament between cities or towns from different countries they would compete in silly games usually on ridiculous sets and in funny costumes but all took it very seriously! In the UK the game was called "it's a knockout".So you have the line" games without frontiers,war without tears",the repeated refrain in the background is"je sans frontieres" and he finally says "it's a knockout" ,to a 57 year old Brit it's obvious but I get how in the US or even younger Brits get confused.

The experience of Peter Gabriel isn’t complete without listening to “Biko”, about the black human rights activist murdered while in police custody during apartheid in South Africa. If you listen to the official song you’ll hear a crowd singing at the beginning and end. This is the actual crowd recorded during Biko’s funeral. Peter’s song helped to bring worldwide attention to what was happening there. Beyond that anything from the Secret World Live tour is fantastic. Also “Father, Son”, “Here Comes The Flood”, “Signal to Noise”, “Kiss of Life”, the list goes on and on.

Soon after its release, a copy of "Biko" was seized by South African customs and submitted to the Directorate of Publications, which banned the song and the album on which it featured for being critical of apartheid, calling it "harmful to the security of the State. Miami Vice played the song in one of their episodes in 1985 not knowing the song was in the program it was shown in South Africa which caused uproar across the country

"Jeux Sans Frontières..." or "Games Without Borders" was a European based franchise of game shows. The roots of the show came from France with the first version of it called "Intervilles..." or "The Beautiful Games." It was created to be a friendly, but serious competition between different towns within the region. Since it was town vs town, every town that competed wanted their town to be recognized as the best. This meant that the competitors would play their hearts out to win. The fact that this show had the ability to bring out the best in anyone who took part in it would be the driving force behind it's popularity spreading all over Europe. Peter Gabriel was obviously infatuated with how amazing of an idea it was...but then again...who wouldn't be? When you pit towns against each other in competition with the reason in mind of bringing them closer together...that is GENIUS in EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD!!! We need a modern version of this today, and it should be a worldwide thing rather than being limited to only one continent.

Always loved this song by Gabriel. You got a good vibe from this. Interestingly, so many listeners thought that the refrain was "She's so popular" when it first aired on the radio. There were different visuals used earlier on and that might have contributed to that interpretation. Sledge Hammer was also great (as you reference). In Your eyes is also a great tune; Big Time, Down to Earth (from the movie Wall-e; picks up a gospel vibe), and Rhythm of the Heat for a wild percussion ride.

This song was written during the height of the Cold War with the Soviet Union. It's about how nuclear missiles can reach the other side of the world and obliterate entire nations, cultures, regions. That's what "without frontiers" means -- national boundaries don't define who can attack who in wars anymore. Russia could launch a wave of nuclear missiles at whatever nation it wants across the world. That's also what "war without tears" means, because no one in the aftermath of the attack will be left in the target areas to weep for their lost loved ones.

Many may not know that the song's title refers to "Jeux Sans Frontières" (That's what the female voice [Kate Bush] sings), a long-running TV show broadcast in several European countries. From Wikipedia: Teams representing a town or city in one of the participating countries would compete in games of skill, often while dressed in bizarre costumes. While some games were simple races, others allowed one team to obstruct another. The British version was titled It's a Knockout-words that Gabriel mentions in the lyrics.

Another great song from this album, is"Biko", a eulogy to the African anti-apartheid activists imprisonment. Also, for a Sledgehammer type of vibe, try Steam.

If I remember rightly, he's already reacted to 'Steam', but Biko is definitely a great shout! I really dig the Paul Simon cover of that one too :)

Without question the most bizarre (in a great way) concert I've ever attended. That was in 1986 and I remember it very well. Highly recommend going to see him if you get the chance.

Fun fact: There is also a german version by Peter Gabriel!

Peter has recorded at least 2 whole albums in German, PG III (Melt) and PG IV (Security). Both are very good and worth a listen if you can find them.

I happen to be the proud owner of both those German albums, what really blows me away is how damn *good* it sounds and flows when sung in German

For another, even more powerful (imo) Cold War-themed classic, I urge you to check out Laurie Anderson's "O Superman", ideally with video. Stopped me dead in my tracks the first time I encountered it.

Driving alone on a dark night with a good sound system that song is an 'experience'. It feels like it's putting me in a trance and communicating directly to me.

For years - YEARS! - I thought the lyric he was singing was "she's so pop-u-lar" but it's "jeux sans frontiers" (Games without frontiers).

I may humbly request, as many have, to do more of Peter Gabriel. However, while I agree "Biko" is a great song to jump to next... ... the "Growing Up Live" concert performance of "The Barry Williams Show" is also a good ride.

Oooooo... good song! I don't think I ever really thought about it before, how nasty that beat gets at the end. Peter Gabriel was ahead of his time. :D

I think Peter Gabriel was one of the first persons I saw with the Tomahawk haircut. It was really high, pretty sure I saw him on late night music shows (when Geniuses was very alternative before they went pop and Peter left) and SNL with the Tomahawk haircut. It wasn't until a few years later I think that others started wearing that kind of haircut. Peter G. was always ahead of his time. Music wise also.

I don't know if you've already reacted to "Mercy Street" by Peter Gabriel. It always moves me to tears.💗🙏

PG is the first to say that people make of their songs what they need to. This one has always spoken to me about the endless ideological and factional violence on this planet, the war "games" that we so often carry out in the shadows, both brutal and deniable. I can't recommend enough the live version from Athens 1987 - it blows the beat to the very next level. Love this channel!

Just posted this in another reaction video to this, but, still applies. Look for the original versions of this video (there are two) on YT. It originally had scenes of Peter singing among a bunch of children dressed like "sophisticated" adults sitting around a dining room table loaded down with things like oversized roast turkeys. The video art in the Play DVD version here is pretty striking, but, when you're used to the original, it just makes you go, "WTF is this?"
