I was at this concert in Vancouver. It was their final show in the 2002 tour. As he was introducing all the band members, he said something along the lines of "And on vocals is a lovely young lady who asked that I not use her name. So I'll just call her... my daughter".😊 At the 'legacy' stage of great career, a father touring with his daughter is a beautiful thing.
I'm a huge Gabriel fan and I think this has to be one of the top 10 songs he's ever done. The change at 3:22 gives me chills, and when it snaps back into the theme at 4:57 it's equally glorious. What songwriting.
I can't get enough of Peter Gabriel and the so very uniquely talented musicians and singers from around the World. They constantly surprise me and delight me.
Peters daughter might not be able to compete with Sinead O'Connor or Kate Bush as duet partners but i really think she did a good job. It was kinda sweet seeing father and daughter singing together. I was at the concert, and when suddenly they were walking upside down on the ceiling, it really blew my mind. Still gives me goosebumps watching this. Peter Gabriel just is the greatest artist on this planet.
A beautifully written and composed song by Peter Gabriel with stunning vocals from his daughter Melanie. It's hard to believe that she appeared in Sledgehammer back in 1986 with her sister Anne-Marie...what a talented family and I can't wait to see what Peter Gabriel has got in store for the I/O Tour in 2023, it's amazing that he's releasing a single a month in conjunction with every new moon during 2023!
I went to see PG on the I/O tour recently and while it was brilliant, the Growing Up gig I saw in 2003 remains the best gig ive ever been to of any artist or band in my life - and I've been to a lot of gigs!
I Saw Genesis ,both varieties,with and without PG,many times back in the 70's.I loved them then.But now,later in life,here I return.I don't listen to Genesis any longer.When PG left Genesis,Genesis was never the same ,really.PG,on the otherhand shed his cocoon then,sprouted spirit wings,and flies still.
I'm AMAZED at how, in the middle of an acrobatic and musical feat that he is taking part of, he offers kudos and applause to his band. Seriously, amazing.
Not surprising...Peter Gabriel has always been amazingly talented. I saw him in Philly years ago and called out to him...he actually turned around and looked directly at me in that huge crowd. Peter, thank you for enriching my life with the gift of your music for all these years. I'll always have a "crush" on you! God bless you & your family...Merry Christmas! xoxo
"Downside-Up" (feat. Melanie Gabriel) I looked up at the tallest building Felt it falling down I could feel my balance shifting Everything was moving around These streets so fixed and solid A shimmering haze And everything that I relied on disappeared Downside up, upside down Take my weight from the ground Falling deep in the sky Slipping into the unknown All the strangers look like family All the family looks so strange The only constant I am sure of Is this accelerating rate of change Downside up, upside down Take my weight off the ground Falling deep in the sky Slipping into the unknown I stand here Watch you spinning Until I am drawn in A centripetal force You pull me in Pull me in Pull me in Pull me in Pull me in Pull me in
I have tried to decide for myself who is the greatest musician alive today. I keep returning to Peter Gabriel. If you listen to music he made 20-30 years ago, it sounds like it was made yesterday. There is a timeless quality to his work. "Mercy Street" is a song that I can hear thousands of times.
This is absolutely thrilling to watch, especially when they spread their wings and fly near the end - had me sobbing tears of delight and joy! Peter and Melanie together - just brilliant! Life may seem solid but everything can shift in a moment. Best songwriter ever in my book. Seeing him live in May this year - can't wait!
What a spectacular performance this was. He also rolled around the stage in a Zorb bubble,and he and Melanie rode Segways.I so envy the people who saw this show live but every other act they saw must have been disappointing after seeing this one.
I suggest you to watch "Downside up" also from this tour ... it is important to listen and watch this video. You will see how father and daughter have a great time
As a younger person, there are many bands I would like to see live but never will (Pink Floyd perhaps the biggest). Now that Richard passed away, Peter Gabriel is by far on the top of my list. There is something about the way he commands the stage that Phil was never able to do when he took over Genesis. Gabriel is a very solid writer, a true genius, and has me hooked after seeing the DVD of this show. Hopefully he will pull one more tour out in the US.
Peter Gabriel - at one concert festival (Crowded House were one of the other performers and they demanded everything backstage) his idea of backstage demands was simply crayons and a colouring book for his 5yr old son!
3:42 The "Ovo" chorus is my favorite part of this whole song! The chord progression is so...chill-bump-inducing! And Peter Gabriel, ever the showman, puts himself and his daughter upside-down--sorry, downside-up! Peter Gabriel, genius.
As an old PG fan I just heard this song for the first time - and love it! I also saw and heard his daughter for the first time. Maybe she has not a rough voice, but don't tell my she cannot sing! At least in this song, it is so beautiful and sweet and goes also under the skin, like her father's does!
I just really, really love Melanie's voice - it's so light and ethereal, which is such a curious contrast to Peter's gritty tone - but they sound so incredible and perfect together. It's such a 'complete' sound, and just gorgeous.
I originally was just looking for the old Sledgehamer video, but in the midst of my search I discovered a number of these Growing Up tour videos. I have never seen these before and I have to say there is something very profound about this man's lyrics and sound. There is a peace within his melody and it is great to have the opportunity to bask in it even if it is only temporary.
this is one of my current favorite live DVD's...visually brilliant...performed by amazing musicians...sung with real feeling...i highly reccomend buying this DVD.
Flippin' amazing at his age, being able to pull off such a stunt. Excellent concert, even if Paula sounded better ten years prior during his Secret World Tour, Melanie still managed to impress me.
Again, this song always makes me feel good. Whenever I am feel lost this one brings the "down sideup" I am hypnotized by Melanie's voice. I could not imagine anybody voice but hers singing this song
She's lovely, but the album version with Elizabeth Fraser is hard to tie. Any singer vs Elizabeth Fraser is difficult to beat... she's otherworldly. There's a RUclips video live with Fraser. PG and Paul Buchanan (as on the album). Just gorgeous. Buchanan sounds SO much like Robbie Robertson.
One of the few gigs I've worked the rig in and out, and stayed to watch the entire concert. Took me away from everything and set me in another world for 2 hrs !
Peter Gabriel is bar-none the one of the most creative and innovative musicians and entertainers anyone will see anywhere and if i was ever that lucky to be able to go see him i would do so in a instant no matter what the price or place.
This one captures the heart, aims so purely and straight at what makes us human: emotions and humility, if everyone sometimes turned things just a little upside down. Fallen in love with her voice
From the first time i've heard this wonderful album i still love to listen to this magic track. Now it's going next week (probably fourth or fifth may be even more) in a row when I listen to it!
Hey, I Was there too, Milano, i was just in front of a stage, shit, they didn’t film me .. haha.. the round stage concept was so excellent and you saw it, the concert was great and audience crazy!
Leo comentarios totalmente desde la ignorancia es un genio desde genesis... pero llena conciertos mas que cualquiera.. .. apreciar la musica y mas a un musico de su tamaño no es facil!!!lo mas triste del ser humano es la ignorancia!!! Es como cuando sabes que no te quieren y sigues ahí...
Incredible performance... i had the chance to see PG in Lima, perfect show... they didn't play "Downside Up" here and the show was completely different but, what a night... they demonstrate in this video their proffesional and creative personality, and of course that genetic musicality between father and daughter... great...

Exactly !!!
Exactly!!!!!
TOTALLY AGREE!!!!!!
Maybe top 5
Peter is a genius, Melanie sings like an angel. Both beautiful and creative minds together on stage? priceless.
Peters daughter might not be able to compete with Sinead O'Connor or Kate Bush as duet partners but i really think she did a good job. It was kinda sweet seeing father and daughter singing together.
I was at the concert, and when suddenly they were walking upside down on the ceiling, it really blew my mind. Still gives me goosebumps watching this. Peter Gabriel just is the greatest artist on this planet.
Sinead was gawd awful.
the version with Liz Fraser and Paul Buchanan is unbeatable
A beautifully written and composed song by Peter Gabriel with stunning vocals from his daughter Melanie. It's hard to believe that she appeared in Sledgehammer back in 1986 with her sister Anne-Marie...what a talented family and I can't wait to see what Peter Gabriel has got in store for the I/O Tour in 2023, it's amazing that he's releasing a single a month in conjunction with every new moon during 2023!
Anytime a parent can work/perform with their child/children is a wonderful experience, something to treasure.
I really miss Paula Cole though, and a groovy drummer...
@@BreannaMae indeed, my biggest problem is a drummer anyway. I can't watch any live after 93, I'm that dumb!
I went to see PG on the I/O tour recently and while it was brilliant, the Growing Up gig I saw in 2003 remains the best gig ive ever been to of any artist or band in my life - and I've been to a lot of gigs!
Popping in in Halloween to watch my fav entertainer, Peter...he never gave up, never gave in, he has been fabulous for 60 years! "One Day".
I Saw Genesis ,both varieties,with and without PG,many times back in the 70's.I loved them then.But now,later in life,here I return.I don't listen to Genesis any longer.When PG left Genesis,Genesis was never the same ,really.PG,on the otherhand shed his cocoon then,sprouted spirit wings,and flies still.
PETER AND HIS DAUGHTER ARE INCREDIBLE !
Agreed‼️💯
It was actually this concert that made me fall in love with his wonderful music and art. He's a genius.
Harmony of the voices, poem of the song, action on the stage. Incredible atmosphere. Like it a lot!
I'm AMAZED at how, in the middle of an acrobatic and musical feat that he is taking part of, he offers kudos and applause to his band. Seriously, amazing.
Here again! Always loved Peter!! "One Day" wish....
So playfully honest. Him and the people he creates with always have something special up their sleeves. Simply wonderful.
Creo que lo he visto más de cien veces me hipnotiza está cancion.genio maravilloso Peter grabiel
Es hermoso!!
Not surprising...Peter Gabriel has always been amazingly talented. I saw him in Philly years ago and called out to him...he actually turned around and looked directly at me in that huge crowd. Peter, thank you for enriching my life with the gift of your music for all these years. I'll always have a "crush" on you! God bless you & your family...Merry Christmas! xoxo
"Downside-Up"
(feat. Melanie Gabriel)
I looked up at the tallest building
Felt it falling down
I could feel my balance shifting
Everything was moving around
These streets so fixed and solid
A shimmering haze
And everything that I relied on disappeared
Downside up, upside down
Take my weight from the ground
Falling deep in the sky
Slipping into the unknown
All the strangers look like family
All the family looks so strange
The only constant I am sure of
Is this accelerating rate of change
Downside up, upside down
Take my weight off the ground
Falling deep in the sky
Slipping into the unknown
I stand here
Watch you spinning
Until I am drawn in
A centripetal force
You pull me in
Pull me in
Pull me in
Pull me in
Pull me in
Pull me in
Oh no
I have tried to decide for myself who is the greatest musician alive today. I keep returning to Peter Gabriel. If you listen to music he made 20-30 years ago, it sounds like it was made yesterday. There is a timeless quality to his work. "Mercy Street" is a song that I can hear thousands of times.
Well Said. There is Nothing to add
I went to see this show live when I was 14. It was so amazing, his visual performance is incredible!
He is a man of Renaissance, a true genius of humanity
Love this song..so true to life..in terms of grief and losing those you love..life will never be the same again
This is absolutely thrilling to watch, especially when they spread their wings and fly near the end - had me sobbing tears of delight and joy! Peter and Melanie together - just brilliant! Life may seem solid but everything can shift in a moment. Best songwriter ever in my book. Seeing him live in May this year - can't wait!
I knew what was coming, but I still had a quiet sob when I saw it live. Gorgeous.
What a spectacular performance this was. He also rolled around the stage in a Zorb bubble,and he and Melanie rode Segways.I so envy the people who saw this show live but every other act they saw must have been disappointing after seeing this one.
Peter never disappoints in every tour he gives you different emotions...
Each time I 'm feeling down, I listen to one of your shows and a smile suddently appears on my face. I love you Peter
i cry - but still feel better afterwards.
I suggest you to watch "Downside up" also from this tour ... it is important to listen and watch this video. You will see how father and daughter have a great time
That was a total and fantastic performance! Great for Peter and his daughter.
Lost a family member today. Rest In Peace, Love and Music Joyce Ann. I love you.

A great song, and spectacular show. Thank you P.G.!
Sehr gut inzeniert und wundervoll dargestellt. Einfach schön.
Musikalisch top! Diese Band, dieser Song, dieser Tony Levin!
GÖTTLICH

I look at Peter Gabriel as a mentor ❤️ I two with three daughters the second oldest sings with me this always does this song
As an old PG fan I just heard this song for the first time - and love it! I also saw and heard his daughter for the first time. Maybe she has not a rough voice, but don't tell my she cannot sing!

Music doesn't get much better than this masterpiece....
The man is a genius..Melanie is amazing.
One of my favs...saw him live in the 80's and he was ahead of his time then! Still is!! Awesome...and Melanie is great in this too...lovely voice. :)
Ich finde es einfach nur sehr klasse gemacht. Gute Grüße an das gesamte Team

THE most creative artist out there. Peter Gabriel is just amazing!! Come to Virginia, Peter!!
shes not only beautiful, but a nice singer too
this is one of my current favorite live DVD's...visually brilliant...performed by amazing musicians...sung with real feeling...i highly reccomend buying this DVD.
Flippin' amazing at his age, being able to pull off such a stunt. Excellent concert, even if Paula sounded better ten years prior during his Secret World Tour, Melanie still managed to impress me.
Leave it to Peter Gabriel, only he would think of going downside, up - literally.
and his daughter has a really haunting voice
Which makes this performance all the more brilliant!
another greatest performance from Peter there
i have been here on this planet for 45 years now listening to rock and roll and this was the first song to make me cry......
Again, this song always makes me feel good. Whenever I am feel lost this one brings the "down sideup" I am hypnotized by Melanie's voice. I could not imagine anybody voice but hers singing this song
I get what you mean. Realistically, her voice is to the thin side but she complements her dad so fine.
She's lovely, but the album version with Elizabeth Fraser is hard to tie. Any singer vs Elizabeth Fraser is difficult to beat... she's otherworldly.

Another brilliant track from Peter, definitely one of my favourites.
Great song from great artist.
WOW... I was there and it still gives me goose bumps... and fell in love with Melanie!
Excelente cancion de Peter Gabriel!!!!!!
Excelente concierto!
=)
Thank you Peter, it is wonderful how you fell in deep love with sky and what is from above. Thank you how you show it in your music.
An absolutely beautiful duet.
This a great song with a great performance.

I saw peter gabriel a few weeks ago here in Chile.... one of the best concerts ever!
Thank to the rock gods for this amazing performer!!
I was there! Goosebumps everytime i listen to this song...
I envy you :'(
Hey, I Was there too, Milano, i was just in front of a stage, shit, they didn’t film me .. haha.. the round stage concept was so excellent and you saw it, the concert was great and audience crazy!
Same! ZooWeeMama
Lucky ....absolutely love this song.
Me & my father was
Only Peter can come up with this stunt. Well done father and daughter.
.. Нет слов.. Габриэль просто кудесник... Коллеги музыканты - ориентир налицо!
fantastic - Peter gabriel is a musical genuis.
Haha, the little Gabriel, so nice - she looks like her dad in the seventies. I love this vid ^^ beautiful and humorous. Gabriels artwork...
This is ONE of my Most enjoyable DVD concerts EVER., And I'm a METALHEAD!! Hey I appreciate Good music and TALENT!!
Utterly beautiful song. Mrs. Gabriel sings like an angel!
Ms. Gabriel. That's his daughter.
Best DVD ever, especially this song 'Dowside up'.
Peter Gabriel truly knows how to standout.
This whole tour was AMAZING. I'm so glad I went, and have this DVD.
what a fabulous piece of music between father and daughter.
I really like Melanies voice a lot, and it's so pleasant to my ears I cannot begin to describe.
Leo comentarios totalmente desde la ignorancia es un genio desde genesis... pero llena conciertos mas que cualquiera.. .. apreciar la musica y mas a un musico de su tamaño no es facil!!!lo mas triste del ser humano es la ignorancia!!! Es como cuando sabes que no te quieren y sigues ahí...
Two real artists in one of their best shows ever seen... great, just great!
I always loved this song so much..wish I was there.
there is a resonence within this song that lets itself to interspective thoughts!!..
This should be posted everywhere
I saw Genesis in their first US concert, and have been a PG fan ever since....he has always expanded the envelope of showmanship and musical talent.
Saw this tour - Peter gave free tickets away at Wembley (Nice Man) - It was special. His daughter was great too.
Wonderful.
"slipping into the unknown" 😎 cool line
Mr. #petergabriel
his voice and this song just pulls me in mindblowing!!!
this had to be such a great moment to be with his daughter in this element...I loved the tour show as I saw it with Dirk
Incredible performance... i had the chance to see PG in Lima, perfect show... they didn't play "Downside Up" here and the show was completely different but, what a night... they demonstrate in this video their proffesional and creative personality, and of course that genetic musicality between father and daughter... great...
This was a trip when I saw him on this tour..PG never fails to amaze and entertain :)
i remember hearing this song everyday for a year , i fell in love with all the songs from the show ,
one of the greatest songs of the World... thank you Peter
outstanding song and her voice is just so relaxing and places me at ease
❤❤❤melanie💐💐💐so beautiful voice 🎉🎉🎉I love her singing 🎉🎉🎉
Saw the show in Toronto............best show I have ever seen.
PG is so innovative and creative!!!!!
Das war ein mal eine kleine Gruppe und dann Musical Box so in den 70er Jahren war echt ein Seelen Pflaster. SUPER SUPER SUPER
Melanie Gabriel has certainly inherited her father's talents.
Her voice beautifully compliments the song
@@frankkelly207 Indeed it does.
Beautiful song.
Moving song. She has such a lovely voice.
emotional beautiful music . A great song of péter gabriel
Ha ha ha Only Peter could dream up something like this! Love his mind so much.
This particular song really hits home. I've felt countless times like I was going to fall into the sky as I cloudgazed
He's got to be a proud father.
Beautiful. Love this on the Album too. One of my all time favourites.
Its really lovely ❤❤❤
