But their brand new cover of my favorite Peter Gabriel song just blows me away.
Uh guys -- would you please play live somewhere in the USA so I can see you before I die?
Thank you.

Nice!
What kind of bass is she playing?
I don’t know, but it’s VERY cool.
SO good! Perfect song, perfectly played and sung. Made my day!

Hofner - hard to be positive but it looks to be what's called "The Shorty Model "
This song holds up so well...especially with it hitting it's 50th (!!!) anniversary next year, and such a nice performance. Thanks for posting.
I'm not a fan of anything Genesis or adjacent, but this is a good tune. The ever-adorable sisters sing this one in unison and the result has a unique vocal tone complete with their quirky cute Austrian accents. They do not disappoint.
1977 - I'm sitting up on the 3rd floor of our house in Maine. "Peter Gabriel" album on the turntable. The needle drops on Solsbury Hill again and again and again.
The Sisters guitar opening riff was so good that 49 years later I sent that video to my Sisters
Not an easy guitar part to play while singing. Well done. Great tune. Lots more good stuff in the Peter Gabriel song vault.
Not an easy guitar part to play whilst singing. Great job. There are a lot more worthy covers available in the Peter Gabriel song vault. Go for it, ladies!
There's a new video interview with them where they talk about this very thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvb7-ldK4n0&t=1320s
