I'm a massive Kate Bush fan, and of course her duet with Gabriel on "Don't Give Up" is a masterpiece. But... When I heard Paula Cole sing that song with Gabriel instead of Bush, my whole world turned upside down. That performance has become _the_ "original" for me, and the album version with Bush is just the cover. The way Cole sings it, it's like that song was written just for her to deliver to us. You've _got_ to check it out, if you haven't already (someone else already posted the link in a different comment here).

Something I have never been able to work out. Tears For Fears did Woman in Chains with Manu as the drummer. For some reason they wanted Phil Collins to take over drumming for the last quarter of that song.. As if Manu couldn't do everything (and more) they requested him to do. Insanity.

This is the best version, of his best song.

actually was at PG’s concert in Milan the day before the Modena concert so I experienced this same perfromance, it was unforgettable, I was in the front row of the center stage. He actually closed with Here comes the flood I think. Then I saw him again some decades later and he started with Here comes the flood, and said “let’s start where we left off”. Epic

This performance was transformative for me. Paula Cole's solo is haunting and perfect!

Italy is a special place for Peter Gabriel.. they love him so much

When Gabriel hits it, he really hits it out. Timeless.

Dude, you need to explore some of the other tracks on this concert. Come Talk to Me, Blood of Eden, Secret World, Shaking the Tree - all stunningly performed.

I’m surprised you didn’t mention how high or note level Paula hit and held then took it even higher note. This version is by far my favorite one. Truly tremendous masterpiece and Live to boot. Extremely talented set of musicians and Peter is genius top shelf level of his own right.

This could be the most joyous performance of any piece of music.

Gabriel knows how to add a special touch of theatre to his performances. I still recall being somewhat awestruck at the closing of his ‘Secret World’ performance in 1993 at the skydome in Toronto. As the final song drew to a close the entire band disappeared into a suitcase in the middle of the stage. Peter Gabriel concerts have a habit of making you as a listener, strangely moved.

Doug, you owe it to yourself to watch this whole concert. It is absolutely amazing. Paula Cole is flawless as well.

Paula Cole always gives me goosebumps.. plus she is adorable too. Check out Shaking the Tree from the same concert.

Gabriel was in such incredible shape for this tour. Everything: voice, body, mind. This is definitely the best live concert for Gabriel and might be in the top ten of concerts in general. He was in just utterly perfect for this show.

The Concert DVD is brilliant

Great video Doug. If you want another example of Paula Cole's amazing voice listen to, from the same concert video, "Don't give Up". What a voice!

Another song from this concert, Secret World, is perhaps my favorite song EVER. You must watch and listen!!!

Perfect live performance

I loved how you commented this... actually my favourite song as well. I experienced this concert twice in Germany... it was the best what I had ever attended and enjoyed... he is the absolute best artist❤

There will never be another Peter Gabriel. The man is a genius, a wonderful performer, and an all round fantastic human being. He's brought me 50 years of joy and I can never thank him enough.

This hole concert is a celebration of music, joy, fun and life. I ripped the audio of the DVD back then and listened to it all the time. I never experienced a more uplifting and positive concert, ever.

Incredible that the vocals stay so strong and clear in the middle of an aerobic workout!

What you hear in the released video may not represent a contemporaneous vocal performance. He and his studio crew spend a lot of time working on the live tracks to meet the Gabriel standard for performance quality.

Since you mentioned "Say Anything"and the ionic boombox scene from that amazing movie...there's a video here on KZread where Gabriel and the band performed In Your Eyes at the Hollywood Bowl. Cusack walked out on stage as the song was starting and gave Peter a big giant boombox. Gabriel held it up over his head for the crowd and acknowledged Cusack. It's brilliant.

One of the best concert videos I’ve ever seen - watch the whole thing! Cheers!

There are songs that have changed my life as soon as I've heard them - "The Real Me", "Brain Damage", and "Eclipse" are examples. Gabriel has written several of them: "Solsbury Hill", "Biko", and "In Your Eyes". The man is brilliant. And this version is as brilliant as, or more brilliant than, the album cut.

1994 Secret World, live from Italy. Yes, the DVD is WONDERFUL. I've watched it so many times, I've lost track. It is truly a religious experience, so enlivening and cathartic. One of my all-time favorite live concerts. Bellissimo!

once you get this DVD (a must) you will discover it is a grand spectacle of a concert on 2 linked stages. Manu Katché is an amazing drummer, so much rhythm and holding the beat without having to over hit the drums. This is one of the best concert videos ever!

This has been one of my favorite of his songs for almost four decades. This live version is wonderful. The entire concert album/video is some of the best live recording and performance I have ever seen.

I've owned this DVD for a long time, and it's always great hearing it again. I recently saw PG and the gang in Boston, so I got a chuckle out of this because of how young everybody looks. Thank you Doug, for doing this vid.

I was fortunate to see this tour in Miami, FL three weeks before I gave birth to my son. At the show I saw, In Your Eyes was the first encore. The show closer was Biko, which, because of my actions, got me in a little trouble with security. Being 9 months pregnant definitely helped me out of what could have been a long night otherwise, but they took pity on me and allowed us to go home. The show is still among my favorites I ever attended.

Thank you for playing this. There are very few musicians I would genuinely call the word ‘genius’. Peter is one of those people. I’d really recommend you check out Games Without Frontiers from his Athens concert & Signal To Noise from the Growing Up Live DVD. They’re spellbinding 👍👍👍

A celebration of humanity is a perfect way to describe this.

Psyched you are so taken with this Doug. So magnificent. And he’s still doing it, unbelievably. Just epic.

I can't believe you haven't seen this!!! Excited. You will LOVE it.

I think I've listened to this version more than 100 times and honestly I like it more than the original. Beautiful, amazing performance!

This is just so moving. I tear up everytime...

I love this so much

You absolutely must watch the entire Secret World concert. It is a wonderful journey which I watch at least a couple of times every year.

My second fave version of this song with Savara singing Paula's part. I love this and how free she is.

Peter Gabriel is the man! Love him. Thanks for sharing!

Secret World must be the best live performance ever recorded, of any artist, of any genre...

Doug - Let me express my happiness in finding your channel. Your choice of songs/pieces is sublime. In Your Eyes, Inca Roads and Shine On, You Crazy Diamond? My god, man, you're being magnetized to, and uncovering the musicality behind, one masterpiece after another. I first saw your real time reaction to Inca Roads, which was thrilling. I was friends with Frank Zappa since I was 13 years old, jammed with him at 16, and saw the work behind the pieces of his you've illuminated. Hearing them again, through your ears, made me realize how unbelievably fortunate I was to get to know the guy and hear this music shortly after its inception. I'm also still friends with Peter, who I met when I was Lou Reed's guitarist on the Amnesty International tour in the 80s. We've stayed in touch and I've played his music a bunch. Big props to you for the beautifully curated music education. The fact that you grasp and follow the chordal/harmonic movement & time feel changes is endlessly entertaining, as Frank would say. Hope to meet you in real life one of these days, but thank you for this inspiring work you're doing. Your reactions bring me back to the moment I first heard this stuff. A priceless gift.

I had the pleasure of seeing this tour in the US. It was one of the best concerts I've ever seen, and I've seen Pink Floyd twice. No concussion mortars, no lasers, just dancing and singing and exceptional creativity on display. IIRC, at one end of the venue was the round stage, with a square one at the other end, and a runway between them. At one point the round stage was empty, and a British call box rises up out of the stage. Peter emerges from it, and slowly walks down the runway to the other end. He's trailing something behind him, which turns out to be a rubber band-like tether, which then drags him slowly back to the call box ~ backwards. Just a spectacularly creative night. Excellent choice for a reaction.

I bought this on DVD and it is one of my favorite all time concerts.

Celebration of Life ! I love Peter's World music

Gabriel is still one of the best performers I’ve ever seen and I’ve been lucky enough to catch him on PG4, So, Us and Up tours amongst others. He makes it feel like he’s singing to you in a 20,000 seat venue. So excited to have just booked a ticket to see him in London in June- can’t believe it’s 30 years since I saw this tour!

Doug .. absolutely go get this DVD. This was one of the most powerful live events I've ever been to (I saw the tour in L.A.). The show is anything but stripped down, but they do end that way. . From the opener to the end, it's a great performance of great tunes. Other stand-out tunes are Come Talk to Me (the opener), Steam, Digging in the Dirt, and Blood of Eden . seriously .. dig in!!

Yes, you definitely need to see the whole concert, and it is available on KZread. I have watched it in its entirety three times. Incredible!

Something I have missed! What a fabulous song! ❤

This has to be the most uplifting and one of the most amazing live performances I know. I have watched this recording so many times. Peter and the rest of his ensemble are just at the top of their game. It’s one big amazing celebration of life.

it don't get any more uplifting than this....incredible..wonderful to see Paula Cole..such an amazing singer....her solo albums are freaking fantastic..

Absolutely NO rock/pop artist reaches the excellence and perfection of Peter Gabriel. He masters every single detail, from lyrics to melody, from harmony to instrumentation, from visuals to singing, from choosing musicians to making arrangements. He is a genius. Nothing and no one is comparable to what he does in his live performances. This tour is a masterpiece. And when we thought that was impossible to make something greater than this one, he delivered "Secret World" tour, that is even greater in all details. This era is gone...

My Dad and I wore out the VHS we had of this back in the 90's. We literally broke the thing. It was a good day when it was released on DVD so we could replace the VHS. One of the best, if not the best concert video ever.

Doug, you are immediately likable. I want all the success you crave to come to fruition. 👍

Perhaps my favorite song of all time!

I was at this concert. Wonderful experience

I was able to see this concert three times, once in the seventh row. (Unbelibal Vibe) I have been to many shows of his spanning many years. He always (Always) ends his shows with Biko. I am talking about the ones I have seen, including Woodstock. If anyone here has seen him end a concert-more like a show, with any other song well let me know, and with what song? I almost met him, but I did share a moment. Five feet from him Great shows! Great man! His work with Amnesty International is unbelievable. Putting thousands of video cameras from his own account into people's hands to record australites throughout the world. By the way, I have one of your mugs, love it! Daily Doug

Was fortunate to get see this concert in Vancouver. Was amazing!

One of the things that strikes me about this performance is the universality of it evidenced in the mirroring of movement. The earliest human instinct is to mirror, and until our dying days it brings us joy to move in concert. That "choreography" as such brings such great depth to the lyrics. Thank you, Doug for breathing new breath into an old favorite.

So happy you did this & a wonderful reaction. Thank you 😊

I caught this show at Earl's Court in London, what a show, who else would start a show in a phone box?

The whole show is wonderful. There's some very impressive theatrics going on.

I enjoy all styles of music, and I am always brought to tears listening to this version of this song. In my top 3 all time favourites songs ever!! What a feeling it must have been to see this live ?!?!

Watching this version of In Your Eyes always bring me tears.. Wonderful song, amazing version..

I'm a dream theater fan, and the song "solitary shell" brought me to peter gabriel's solsbury hill which brought me here

This one is awesome. From the same DVD is another must listen, and that's "Shaking the Tree". Probably my fave.

The best live concert film ever made. Every time I watch it I can't stop.

Actually I saw Peter, on this tour, in glasgow and he played two songs after this one...BIKO and then a surprise extra encore of HERE COMES THE FLOOD (with just peter on keyboards). Also the Secret World Tour comprised of two stages...one at the back of the venue (in the normal stage spot) and one in the centre of the audorium. Throughout the show the band would alternate between the stages using a connecting walkway... the way the drums and jeyboards etc would suddenly appear in the centre stage was magical. And you have to watch SECRET WORLD from this tour...I won't say anything but the ending is one of the greatest bits of rock theatre I have ever seen live!
