One of the GREATEST performers I've ever had the honor to see live is Peter Gabriel. Back in the day after Shock the Monkey and before Big hit it "big" Peter would start his concert by going through the audience to enter the stage at small auditoriums so that he could physically touch as many people ... he even fell backwards off the stage to be caught by us! He only got better, and has touched many millions more with only his words!

my first time seeing an AFrican Artist was these two in the 80's. i was shocked. As an AFrican American only having known negative images of Africa. I was so shocked i stood thru the entire concert dumbfounded. Shocked to see all these white people enjoying this music that i knew nothing of. What an occasion to remember. I have to give thanks to Peter Gabriel and to you for sharing this. We deserve to experience one another in a more beautiful way. Blessings.

+Rehema Afful-Nyannor Back in 1994, a friend of mine talked me into going to the Utah Arts Festival, here in Salt Lake City. There were various musical acts playing on stages all over the site, food vendors, people selling their art, etc. The end of the evening was the big finale. Youssou N'Dour and his band, playing on that summer night, for a good three hours or so. It was mesmerizing! The only taste of African music I had ever had was what Paul Simon did on Graceland. This was SO much better. It was such a beautiful experience; almost religious. In my forty eight years on this earth, I've never enjoyed a concert as much as I enjoyed that one.

Peter rocks my socks. He's by far one of my all-time favorite artists, and one of the few that I think actually sounds better live.

Youssou doesn't seem to age at all! He still has all the energy he had at POV and brings sooo much to this performance. Fantastic

Saw them perform this together in '86, Youssou N' Dour was Peter's opening act for the tour supporting So. No words, there are no words!!!

I'm shocked at how much he's aged, but hey I remember him from the 80's, and my head is in a timewarp!! Time to get baack to reality. Go Youssou N'Dour, my senegal boy. Nege nef!

this is a great song two of my favorite singers peter Gabriel and youssou Ndour what a treat for me. Merci beaucoup pour cette excellent clip de mes 2 favorits chanteur merci encore une fois de plus

I miss Peter Gabriel's music. Don't hear much of it anymore and this guy Youssou...I've never even heard of him until today when someone sent me a video of him and Dido. Loving this guy Youssou!

few songs can generate the SHEER emotion that this song does.. and the live performance makes it that much more powerful! I've never been able to listen/ watch this song w/o tearing up.

This was the first performance I saw by and African artist along with Peter Gabriel in Toronto in about 1986. It was accompanied with a troupe of African dancers. I was speechless.

I am lost for Words........This is beyond song writing.......Thank you Peter Gabriel for creating such a magical song for the world to hear.........What amazing talent you have!

this version with Youssou N'Dour is off the hook!! It is the most soulful piece I ever heard..

Awesome Peter still has the voice that can calm and soothe!!!

The older he gets...OMG...the better!!! In all the years I have followed Peter Gabriel this is one of my favorite versions on In Your Eyes!!

20 something years later and Peter still has it.... hes even gettin into the music.. love it when singer actually get into the music..

Songs like this will never get old and for sure are better than a lot that are made these days. :)

omg, this Youssou dude was in my french textbook. I was looking through it, and i'm like "oh, it's that guy!!" cool, i love him in this song.

Wow. There are no words. Just tears in your eyes beautiful. This is what makes life wonderful. Wow.

Quel classe et quel talent , un vrai régal pour les yeux et les oreilles . Un vrai délice par cette humanité si merveilleuse . vive la vie et bonheur pour vous tous .big kiss

I was just watching this video, and when He took the lead,,, I was just blown away. Peter Gabriel is great and has always been surrounded by some the greatest artists.

One of the best songs ever. It just is.

One of the most BEAUTIFUL songs ever Written. Pure Poetry. - My Favorite

I love the way the showmanship accents the spirituality of this great song. They have been doing this thing for three decades, apparently, and this is the first time I have been privileged to see it. I love KZread. It is a cultural phenomenon.

You miss the impact this man has had. It is not just his music, but his conciseness. The impact goes much deeper

Wydaje się być świadomy tej piosenki jak nigdy wcześniej, piękne wykonanie.:_)

I love you Peter! Only saw you live last week and I can't wait till I can see you in concert again. you'll always be my favourite artist! Much love from this 20 year old fan :P

merveilleux, magnifique et rassurant deux voix qui sont un trip!!!!!! trop fort tous les deux.

IMO one of the most beautiful songs ever written.... I got your back

The eyes are the window to our soul and this song has got a lot of soul.

This man transmit lots of energy...I love this song so much, so much..so much

peter gabriel's voice will NEVER change. he da man

peter gabriel is beautiful!! he has an amazing voice and the most gorgeous eyes!!!

Perhaps my favorite song of all time. Beautiful rendition!

A very advanced soul indeed, while the world is simutaneoulsy tearing itself apart from each other, a powerful one man band, is bringing us together sharing his love and music with us...

Youssou and Gabriel... what a wonderful combination.

Imagine watching the eyes of your beloved and say : In your eyes the light the heat in your eyes ... do you feel whai i feel?...Awesome

Such beauty of spirit in these amazing human beings creating soaringly lovely music...wonderful wonderful and such a sweet jolt with with YousouN'Dour--

This man is a fantastic musician of great calibre and stature. Instead if all the R&B crap! our kids listen too they should grow up with good music. Peter delivers his best. Derrick

I had the preciosus opportunity to see this 2 guys in a show: Peter, in 1996 and Youssou, last year. Both of two are incredible. Peter is my favorite singer on the earth. I think, him and Yossou have done many great things for the music. Thanks for the video!

I am very happy to hear this song. thanks PG and YD

This song KEEPS ME AWAKE AND ALIVE!!!:)10/10

Boogie on and on and on. May he live forever - or at least until ... we mortals do.

Yo Peter...glad you're still with us after over 30 years!

I always used to do that, I would drive off in my car. Always adored this song and Youssou makes it extra special.

Peter Gabriel will never stop surprising me....so nice version of the sweetest love song...I think I`d die if An will sing it to me..:) Greetings from Peru!!!

the most lovely and beautifull song in the world

Thank you Lord for having given us Peter Gabriel !! He should be considered Patrimony of Humanity, like St.Peter's Basilica in Rome or the London's Tower! GENIUS !!!!!!!!!!!!

I love peter gabriel.. grew up listening to him, mike oldfield and kate bush. when any of them happen to pass... I will be a very sad woman

Great music and songs!! POWER MAN!!! Very entertaining....I love to hear Gabriel sing, naturality u...

Happy new year to everybary!! Peter and Youssou, perfects!!!

Without my pride I reach out from the inside!! Timeless song!

Youssou N'Dour is awesome! :33 This is the best version of the song, I think!

I think these two make a great complimentary team. Love this song (a Say Anything fan--actually went to the movie theater to see it) and think that it gets more beautiful as it ages, like a fine wine.

Kathleen Moore [ Say anything] , ya that says it all.

It's so good to see him doing this song... Even has Manu Kache playing drums!

this displays the roots of music and spiritualism in the US and how they have learned / combined - where it started and where it can go - old shcool / new school - all right here - i cried

Two phenomenal voices. Two amazing men.

Great to still see him performing so wonderfully. He was my favorite growing up. One of lifes truley greatest!!!

Cannot get enough of this song :)

Thanks for sharing that bit of history with me Tornado. I had no idea. I only loved the music of Peter Gabriel. I lived in Los Angeles at the time and my good friend Julian Gonzalez introduced me to his music. He is very soulful and such a humanitarian. Thanks again friend!

Ne too! I saw it in Paris on monday at Paris bercy! It was the most incredible concert i've seen iny Life! Genius simply genius!

merci d'avoir publié cette vidéo. Avec Youssou N'Dour j'ai encore plus de frissons !! merci !!!!!!!!!

Nice that the master and the pupil went to peace for music !!!!

I love this song so much.The greatest.

Your absolutely right! But he will always be one of the greats! I recently saw a BBC interview - he is very humble and suprisingly shy. His contributions to music and his influence on modern musicians is an indication of how great this man is! He is sounding and looking very tired though!

Che voglia di rivederlo dal vivo!

i'm really in AWE. of them both.

I can say purely from my own heart that there is trully beautiful music... Please listen carefully to what peter is saying... I have to stop writing about this... because ever time I try.... All I end up doing is cry...ing

In spanish this time...since i have no words to describe this feeling... Esta canciòn es nuestra An...la adoro y la adorè cuando me la enviaste...Espero que pronto se concreten nuestros anhelos..eres lo mas lindo k me ha pasado..(sueno loca, lo sè) pero es lo que siento ahora my sweet sweet hun...i love you..dont u ever forget that..

Just love Youssou N'Dour with Peter Gabriel, this song......

I must have listened to this version 100 times or more...It's incredible!!!

just brilliant!!! i love this song.

@iheartsupernatural I can understand. I'm 29 now. And i listen them since i had 13. I build my mind and my musical taste with those great artists. I can even.. think about lose some one!

so beautiful.....so soulfull.....thanks for posting this

The best concert is POV from the 80's , it's coming out this year on DVD. I can't wait !!!!!!!!!!!!1

Very incredible voices ever I heart

His voice is as distinctive as the clasics. I love this. He has the style of Sinatra and the ease of Dean Martin. Yes I am a dinosaur

Peter Gabriel is one of my favorite artists No missing their 2009 tour

Gracias Peter!!! y a ti sober 8 por subir los videos La Paz entre nosotrso con mucha musica

this song overwhelms me. it is truly PERFECT. great job posting this.

Soul searching song with afro melody from Youssou. Current generation music is not pure. Never ever gonna these kind of songs will come again.

I can only imagine the feeling one has when listening to this live... I sure hope I will have the chance to experience it. This is beautiful... No, way beyond beautiful.

These 2 guys feed off each other so naturally

AWE-some! P. Gabriel. Happy New Year ! 2010. Love, T

"peter gabriel the best singer of the world " Definitely a case to made for that!

Two of the Greatest ... what can be said ...?

beautiful song! simply like that.

great version of this song one of the best

ME GUSTA ESE TONO AFRICANO , ESOS COROS ME SEDUCEN , SOY MEXICANO PERO CUANDO VEO UNA PERSONA DE COLOR ME DAN GANAS DE SALUDARLA , DE PLATICAR TAL VEZ DE ABRAZARLA .....PERO ES DIFICIL POR QUE HABLAMOS DISTINTO IDIOMA E INCLUSO LO PUDEN TOMAR A MAL , PERO CON ESTA CANCION ME CONFORMO Y SIENTO QUE CANTAMOS JUNTOS ESTA CANCION O MEJOR AUN ,QUE ME LA CANTAN A MI .....SALUDOS DE MEXICO PARA EL MUNDO Y EN ESPECIAL A TODA LA COMUNIDAD DE COLOR , DE VERAS LOS APRECIO DE CORAZON.....

peter gabriel is a talented old man...he look tired but is a good singer and brilliant

I am not even looking to get married but this is definitely in the top 5 picks. Love this version too

The music being made today does not compare with this.Its a shame music of this caliber isn't available from the newer talent. Peter gabriel and his band , some of the best ever.

There are stars, there are good musicians and there are masters. Tell me why most of them are from U.K. Peter G. is one of the brightest examples.

Day-YAM! Thank you SO MUCH for posting this!!!

Simply the best! Enough said.

Love this Gabriel rules and so does Youssou!

Brilliant...no more words..

PG and YnD ..an amazing duo. Never to be..well no one will ever be better!

Sweet! Powerful and beautiful! Thanks for posting!!! :)

I borrowed this from a site called all experts: Answer The Wolof (or Oulof) lyrics are the words sung by Youssou N'Dour in the original version of "In Your Eyes", Wolof is his native language. A rough transliteration (only an approximation) of those lyrics is: "Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir." The translation is pretty straight from the chorus: "In your eyes, the light the heat, in your eyes, I am complete" Stacey

this is one of the BEST versions of this song
