- John Peel's last words on his BBC Radio One show on 14th October 2004, before he died of a heart attack while on holiday in Peru on 25th October 2004. Track while he was speaking was Klute - Time 4 Change
- Hudba
I read John Peel's autobiography a while back. I cried again when the book changed from his voice to Sheila's. RIP
I'm 58..he changed my life..still have 60 or so cassettes from 79 to 81...
I used to do the same thing, (i'm 62) - spent many nights with my finger hovering over the pause button in case anything came up that was potentially great, I must have had about the same amount of cassettes, unfortunately a big move to the other side of the world meant that I stupidly decided to get rid of them all.....regrets.....
Please, keep those 60 cassettes safe. Those are an archive of immeasurable value. RIP John Peel
@@SteveGad Indeed, Every now and again i have one of the songs Peel would play just pop in my head and then have to go on a search to try and track it down, last one I had was '"The red pullover" by The Gynaecologists czcams.com/video/bKO8IRLLxdU/video.html
Miss him so much..his voice..the music..
his odd humor..everything..what a loss..
No one ever can take his place..never..
You are so so missed Mr Peel and always will be.
John Peel's sessions are the greatest sessions of all time.

John Peel introduced many bands to the world. Those that were already known, he beat into the skulls of his listeners with a vinyl 2x4. To a large extent, he was the mastermind, the quasi-evil genius, who fought record companies and eardrums with finesse.
We don't just need another John Peel (although you can't replace him), we need a radio/internet radio/cable station in his name where every DJ follows in his footsteps, grabbing weird and wonderful bands from pubs, clubs and alleyways to record or play live a session. And we need one in every country.

He has been a large part of my youth. Dearly missed still. RIP John!

Peel never talked over the music!
Bizarre. As a long term fan, his last show and broadcast words were on my Birthday. Will always remember you John

Ironic that after John Peel finished speaking, the first track on Ann Nightingale's show was Teenage kicks; so apt. An amazing Guy.

Because he liked very young children.
Superb DJ. Still sadly missed.

Blessed be John the greatest rock fan ever
The best music played by the best voice in radio what more to ask for.
RIP John Peel
Thanks for all the tunes!
Living in Canada, I never ever got to hear him, but many of us devoted to the English music scene were very aware of him and his importance. His commitment to getting young bands and performers a start will continue to receive the respect it deserves. Peel epitomized why I love radio. He seemed to be talking to you, one to one, not a massive, faceless audience.

Respect. I miss you John. Legend. RIP
I listened to that show and it did not end with Teenage Kicks, it was a swop over to Ann Nightingale. I do still miss him 10 years on.

I remember hearing the last words of Talk Sport's Mike Dickin, who said he would be back on the radio tomorrow, or it could have been a weekend show he was doing. He soon after died in an early morning car crash.
John Peel WILL NEVER be equaled by anyone in the promotion of music. He gave so many artists the opportunity to be recognized and had a unique insight in being able to understand that taking a chance on an unknown artist was exactly what it took to get the best out of music. Even his program slot called "Home Truths" was unique. A brilliant broadcaster so sadly missed. I also mention here the late Brian Matthew again so sadly gone and another wonderful presenter who like Peel loved the musical world so much. For those of you in program planning at the BBC who took away Brians show not so long before he passed on,. think on at what you did and the way you dispensed with his services. BBC - You could never hold a candle to these two guys and its the very reason over Brian from that time that I swore I would never work on your projects ever again.

Brian Matthew! Had a half hour program 9am on BBC World Service. 70s, 80s, into 90s. For those living outside UK it was a window into the workd of music we never had. Vaguely remember John's program on BBC World Service. But one really discovered him on weekday evenings on UK's Radio 1, late 80s. And the unbelievable joy when he played a song from the country one had just come from and spent formative years in, in my case Zimbabwe.
Ominous words mentioning that he was going away for a few weeks. A trip too far.
His programme and trying to obtain the records I heard on it really constituted my life for years. He sounded so friendly even though I knew it was impossible to actually be that accessible and it was wrong to want him to be. I stopped listening in the 1990's when Hip Hop mostly left me behind but I do miss the spell his work cast before midnight for so long.
End of '91, 13 years old, living in the sticks in SW England, and just discovered Nirvana whilst Teen Spirit was doing the rounds. Heard a trailer for Peel's show later that night with a Nirvana session. I thought he was the old bloke who sometimes did TOTP, but I thought I should stay up and give it a listen. Thanks John not just for introducing me to some amazing music, but for how listening to that show planted the seeds that would determine the rest of my life.
Such an awesome guy
He was the best!
Still miss the man...
one of a kind
As a teen boy in America, I wanted to grow up and be like John Peel.
miss him
+the gaming girl Imagine, if he was still alive he'd probably be still doing his show at the age of 76.
True
the gaming girl
I was only saying this the other day - that he'd still be Djing.

Heard many firsts on Peels radio show,Dead Kennedys and the like. It was a welcome antidote to the garbage being pumped out in the charts during the late 70's and 80's.
that really was an end of an era - if only we knew it at the time !
Good last tune
Master
I can't believe it was 11 years ago we lost him!
and with him musical diversity in our culture, christ I'm bored of the same old recycled genres. I genuinely think we are so much poorer without a proper supporter of innovation in our world.
This year 2019 is 15 years that we lost him; a legend lives forever...
So many legendary sessions, legend John Peel
In addition to the personal tragedy, the loss of him as a DJ was a cultural tragedy.
A nonce.
just pure klass.RIP Sir
Never forget you😔

Perfect that Teenage Kicks started just as he finished his last show
Such a familiar Scouse voice on the radio for decades.
The vast majority of radio DJs - like the vast majority of TV presenters - seem to be there to promote...themselves. Nothing wrong with that, that's showbiz. But Peel - and a few others - genuinely felt like they were doing it because they'd heard a great record yesterday and they wanted you to hear it tonight. I remember Jarvis Cocker telling a story about giving Peel a home-made cassette and thinking 'well, that'll go straight in the bin'. And then getting a call from Peel a few days later saying 'do you want to do a session on the show?' Peel wasn't (and isn't) the only DJ who was like that. But there aren't many.
❤
In a BBC Studio corridor in London there's a very large photo portrait of John Peel high up on the wall. Looking down on proceedings as though in a supervisional influence. In this way his spirit continues on everlasting.
Irreplaceable.
Was teenage kicks really the last music played? Or was that edited in as dedication to his grave stone?
This makes Time For Change rather a spooky track.
Nightingale
who's like JP rn?
r.i.p The only DJ who made totp funny, class act.
what was the reggae song he played with edith piaf sample
He mentions Anne Nightingale who also died not long ago 😢
0:58 The Undertones ! 😎
Did he really go to 'Teenage Kicks' to end his last show or was that added later?
No, the 'Teenage Kicks' track came from a different show.

Poor John. The best. Occurs to me that Peru as a venue for cardiac problems could imply a certain substance. Bless you John for so many happy memories.

He should have been in jail.
I came here accidently on 24th October... 14 years tomorrow, rest in peace.

PEELY!!!!!

"Teenage Kicks" by The Undertones

Teenage nonce.
Maybe.
That was the last track he ever played as a DJ…?
Correct !!
@@JohnPeel3904 His final BBC World Service show aired some days / weeks after he had died (I heard this show at the time). Where does the recording of that fit the timeline?
@@summerteeeth Good question, no idea when that was recorded and yes you're right, it was broadcast sometime after his death.
GTA III DJ.
would have just turned 75
hope he's kicking up their RIP

All DJs today are scared to express interest in a wide range of music. Which is why we cherish Sir Peel, Calibre, Fabio and Equinox.
More down to altitude
It's scary he was dead soon after this. He sounds top of his game.
His death REALLY was the day the music died.

All that great music (he discovered) is still there...! Thank God.
no it was the final time he was allowed to freely abuse UNDERAGED children.
I like to think John didn’t really die. He decided enough was enough and his soul went into Sheila somehow. He will always be my hero, despite him probably hating me saying that.
"There were four shots" That did for him ..... heart attack ? Yeah right it was !!!!!! R.I.P. You lovely man still sorely missed, certainly by me.
See you when you get back John.
christ no
So much more than "just" a DJ.........
part time nonce too
He didn't like the stone roses
I didn't like nonces masquerading as nice fake djs.
Boring track to go out on : /
This Yank would like to say: In John Peel, you UKers had a national treasure -- but I'm guessing that you know that already
Just call me Captain Obvious
😏
I'd like to add that he was literally lightning in a bottle, bc I don't think they're be anyone like him to come along to fill the void that he left behind. I say this, bc he came from a time in pop-culture when the production, transmission and consumption of music was done completely and entirely analog. Now, digital consumption of music has taken over as the norm; and, even though we still have analog options (radio stations still exist, and there are still DJs spinning tunes for their audiences, but the overwhelming majority are just soulless payola stooges working for corporate media conglomerates like ClearChannel who don't even really care about the content that they broadcast, nor their audiences who consume said content; and, vinyl records, and the photographs to play them on, are still being sold, but that's evermore becoming a niche/boutique market catering to a consumer base that can afford to pay the insane prices for those records), we're not going to put the genie back into its bottle now that it's out
his last words were...Fuckin hell im dying..
Nob
Your last words cant come soon enough you fkn idiot.
