Tons of great solo Gabriel tunes, and many with way cool videos - "Sledge Hammer," "Shock The Monkey," "Games Without Frontiers" Thanks for a great synopsis of all these sounds and instruments coming together. I was in 10th grade when this tour came around and a few of my friends went to see it but I hadn't been to a concert yet so I missed it. But best believe I have the DVD of the show where this video comes from!! And I finally got to see him about 10 years ago and he was just as good, still has an incredible voice.
By this time he had pioneered world music influences into pop. He became very active in humanitarian issues and human rights violations and was the first to spearhead the movement that helped end the Aparthied State in South Africa. His third album from 1980 is his most extreme and experimental, I highly recommend it. It is self titled but has become known as 'melt' because the cover art is a shocking image of Peter's face melting. He was a true pioneer all the way..
Peter Gabriel was a founder of WOMAD, World Of Music, Art and Dance which includes lot's of african rythm and instruments. In 1982,he experienced money problem because of WOMAD and was close to bankruptsy so Genesis did a reunion concert where the money went to cover that debt. Peter Gabriel left Genesis after the 1975 The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway tour and released his first soloalbum in 1977. Some great talent came from Genesis! 😎
"In Your Eyes" was first released on the Album "So" in 1986. It featured in memorable scene from the 1989 movie "Say Anything" with John Cusack playing this from a boombox over his head to the girl hes after; that movie scene is imbedded heavily into the pop culture lexicon. Per wikipedia, the "lyrics were inspired by an African tradition of ambiguity in song between romantic love and love of God." Its also said that the actress Roseanna Arquette was an inspiration, as her and Gabriel were romantically linked at this time. This video was from the Secret World Tour from 1994. The video for the entire concert won a Grammy that year. The woman singing here is Paula Cole; she was Peter's choice to replace Sinead OConnor when she had to suddenly drop from the tour. At the time this video was recorded, Paula had been with the tour only 3 or 4 days; a week prior to this recording she was in San Fran living with 3 roommates barely scraping by. Peter left her a message on her answering machine and she immediately flew to Germany to join the tour. She ended up marrying one of the African musicians she worked with on this tour, and she had a couple good hits in the next few years.
and another hit with "I Don't Want to Wait" (for our lives to be over), which eventually became the theme song to the popular TV teen drama Dawson's Creek
...and this was only her 3rd or 4th show on the tour. She was flown in to replace Sinead O'Connor, who had to leave the tour due to a family emergency. Another song from this tour that features her vocal talent is the duet "Don't Give Up". (far superior to the recorded version with Kate Bush, IMHO)
Goosebumps beyond belief😊❤ I think his song "Biko" will blow you completely away too.It has a story too. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Biko The song: ruclips.net/video/wVsckdlctm0/видео.htmlsi=2nM-nD22D2SNKudW
I can't tell you how much I love this man and his music. Check out 'Solsbury Hill', he wrote it write after leaving Genesis, it's about an epiphany he had, after being worried he might have made a mistake, he suddenly knew it was all going to be ok. If you don't know 'Sledgehammer', well, you should! Anyway, thanks for making my day right here. ✌❤
As others have said they were lighters. Cell phones hadn't been invented yet, people just enjoyed the music and didn't have to think about recording everything.
Here's another great one: Peter Gabriel wrote *COME TALK TO ME* to his daughter Melanie, who was a young girl at the time. Peter was going through a divorce, and his eight-year-old daughter, unable to process her emotions, stopped talking to him. He wrote the song to let her know that it had nothing to do with how much he loved her and that he missed talking to her. Years later, after they made amends, she became a singer herself and joined him onstage to sing the song together at this 2004 concert in Bruxelles: ruclips.net/video/4J1gWMLbV70/видео.html
This has been my all time favorite song since I was a kid - and this is my all time favorite version of this song. My favorite part is the choreography- it has the feel of people feeding off each other to dance, and not like rehearsed steps.
Great reaction! You need to check out 'Intruder' from his 3rd self-titled solo album. Phil Collins on the drums, and famously he was told "no cymbals" by Peter. This is also the track that spawned the ubiquitous 80's "gated drum" sound.
This was 1993, the crowd had lighters, not phones. (This was Paula Cole's big break...touring with Peter Gabriel...she later said it was an amazing experience.)
Peter Gabriel toured last year and I saw him for the first time live. Fantastic concert. He has not lost a beat and his voice is even better. I only wish I had seen him with Genesis.
I was lucky enough to see Genesis from the start (they were the school band at Charterhouse near where I grew up). Drummer Manu Katche, bassist Tony Levin and guitarist David Rhodes who were on that video are still touring with him today!
I like his solo stuff better. He surrounds himself with extremely talented musicians. His concerts are definitely an experience. Here are a couple of songs to check out : Shock the Monkey and Sledgehammer.
Peter became very interested in "World Music", incorporating sounds, themes and rhythms from many countries. He also became involved in bringing awareness of important issues to the public (The Nobel Peace Laureates awarded him the "Man Of Peace" award in 2006), two examples are: *BIKO* , about Stephen Biko, a South African anti-apartheid activist. Biko was arrested, beaten by police, then driven 700 miles to a hospital where he laid naked on the floor until he died of his injuries. This concert version also shows clips of the movie that was made about him: ruclips.net/video/luVpsM3YAgw/видео.html *SHAKING THE TREE* is about empowering women to go out, take control of their own destiny and shake up the male establishment. This version is also from the Secret World Live concert: ruclips.net/video/3_Q79lls1f0/видео.html
Start from his first solo album…and go forward in order…I saw him last year perform his new album on the I/O tour…still incredible…12th row Boston Garden….he started Genesis in High School with Tony Banks the keyboardist and released their first album in 1969…. He left Genesis in 1975 and what transpires over the next 49 years is utter brilliance…..he ushered in a new language in music with his solo work….as he did in Genesis.
What a talent! When I first got into music Phil Collins had just become the vocalist for Genesis, so, I grew up with that version and couldn't understand why original fans were angry with the band. Then I listened to every Genesis album from the beginning with Peter Gabriel through the transistion to Phil Collins, then I got it, and I was angry too. LOL!
If you don't know yet, check his song "Games without frontiers". Very different than the "normal" Peter Gabriel. Edit: This song reminds me of Men At Work with this regae vibe. Very cool.
Magnificent song. My favorite from Peter Gabriel. 1986. Kinda overshadowed by “Sledgehammer” and “Big Time,” but a real gem of a song. He’s one of those rare musicians who writes brilliant songs inside of uniquely sounding arrangements. (Paul Simon being another) I would love to see how he brings his ideas to life. And even more, I wanted to give you this link to enjoy. It’s from a long time ago, minor summer, one hit wonder from a guy who deserved more attention. Jeffrey Gaines’ version of “In Your Eyes” might be one of the finest covers of all time, in my humble opinion. After hearing the original, I wonder if the cover would hit differently? ruclips.net/video/o7WtavVdBCk/видео.htmlsi=3iSrPj3KUx1TJmiz Other friends of your channel, if you check it out, let me know what you thought of it 🤘🏽
Interesting you mention Paul Simon since his album "Graceland" beat "So," which is the album this song is from, at the 1986 Grammys. I can't argue with the decision, although I love both albums.
It appears, (to me), he put down the LSD and picked up the Ganj, when you contrast the two sides of him. Very successful career in the 80s with a string of hits. This, believe it or not, was a big radio hit. Much shorter of course.

What a killer vibe!! What should I listen to next from Peter Gabriel?!
Best version of his second best song. I love how he turns over the center of attention to the other players on the stage.

Peter is not only a brilliant singer but the personification of an entertainer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of my two all time favorite concert DVD's. My other favorite is the Bee Gees "One Night Only" concert DVD.
Great reaction! Please react to the song “Secret World” of this Secret World Live concert video! It’s amazing 🤩 Thx
You MUST check out his official video for SHOCK THE MONKEY
Or: LIVE IN ATHENS 1987
"In Your Eyes" was first released on the Album "So" in 1986. It featured in memorable scene from the 1989 movie "Say Anything" with John Cusack playing this from a boombox over his head to the girl hes after; that movie scene is imbedded heavily into the pop culture lexicon.

The drummer and the bass player are legendary. Mnu Katché is on drums, and Tony Levin on bass
The lady singing is Paula Cole she had a hit in the 90's called "where have all the cowboys gone✌️
and another hit with "I Don't Want to Wait" (for our lives to be over), which eventually became the theme song to the popular TV teen drama Dawson's Creek

If you watched csi Las Vegas there was a lot of his music played
This song makes me think about Say Anything where John Cusack holds up his boom box at his girlfriends house serenading her with this song
The drummer's name is Manu Katché. I had never heard of him but apparently he's a very famous musician & has worked w/ a ton of big name artists.
Yes, he is

Let's Gooooo! Such a banger. Sledgehammer is a great tune by him as well. Great reaction and Peace out ✌️ ☮️ 🙏
and one of the most original videos ever made. Vastly entertaining.
This was 1993, the crowd had lighters, not phones. (This was Paula Cole's big break...touring with Peter Gabriel...she later said it was an amazing experience.)

@@Rolling_Ronnie Envy you. But we are lucky to have the many videos of their concerts. Saw Katche and Levin with Peter. Dynamite.
I love you observed “he’s older here”. I just saw him last year (much much older). He still sounds great and puts on an amazing show.
Me too and he was fantastic like always 😊
all secret world live is fantastic - the opener COME TALK TO ME is a great song...
I like his solo stuff better. He surrounds himself with extremely talented musicians. His concerts are definitely an experience. Here are a couple of songs to check out : Shock the Monkey and Sledgehammer.
You have to do Bikko........from any one of his live concerts.
The song is from the 1986 album So and this concert is from 1996. The album version is different but not in a bad way. Love it and this version.
The concert was recorded in 1993 I think, released in 94.
Pure Quality Right There.
Check out "Come Talk to Me " from the same concert . That's when I was like who is that drummer :)
If you think Peter is chill in this concert, you need to check out the song Steam from this same show Lol.

There is another live version from Live in Athens with Yousou N Dor that has even more of an African flavor
This version/video is like a religious experience.
Well before phones.
You need to checkout his song, Sledgehammer! It’s gives you an entirely different feel! Keep up the great work!
He s got many single hits, some with cool videos ! must watch em !
Start from his first solo album…and go forward in order…I saw him last year perform his new album on the I/O tour…still incredible…12th row Boston Garden….he started Genesis in High School with Tony Banks the keyboardist and released their first album in 1969….

Like mentioned the studio version is not as elaborate. It still a great recording.
Listen to Peter Criss's solo album "Cat #1" "Bad people burn in hell"
If you don't know yet, check his song "Games without frontiers". Very different than the "normal" Peter Gabriel.
Edit: This song reminds me of Men At Work with this regae vibe. Very cool.
try his songs Games Without Frontiers (ft Kate Bush )...and ....Shock The Monkey...

Little critique, the pause during Paula's Cole first solo was distracting.
Sorry about that! I do my best to try to not interrupt the flow! Have a great day!
@@setonhillstudios No worries. Nice reaction to a great song!!!
@@dreyestud123 Appreciate it! 😁
Sledgehammer music video is a requirement for all RUclips reactors. Do it and you’ll understand.
It appears, (to me), he put down the LSD and picked up the Ganj, when you contrast the two sides of him. Very successful career in the 80s with a string of hits. This, believe it or not, was a big radio hit. Much shorter of course.
Lighters.
