I got to see Gabriel on the So tour in 1986 at the Fabulous Forum in LA (So was the album this song came from originally) at the urging of a friend, who was very much into the live music scene at the time, and knew exactly which bands were great at putting on live shows, versus some who were maybe great in the studio but not so hot to see live. Wow, what an experience - by far, the best concert I ever attended, and I saw some great shows by some great performers over the last 40+ years. Absolute legend.
Peter gabriel is an amazing god! I highly recommend u check out his albums. He is amazing. The lady with the black dress who was guest singing on tour was paula cole!!! She is a great singer also! I got to see this tour , i was 13, first Concert!!
This was his regular band with additional singers for this tour. Really elaborate staging, just so well rehearsed, and it was a 2 year long tour. It's a great album and dvd.
Oh good - you found the correct performance video, this should be required viewing for all 😉🤘🏽 Also see “Shaking the Tree” from this same legendary tour.
That's was all of his band... live performances from Peter are productions. Always incredible... you have no idea... I hope you keep going down the Gabriel rabbit hole, he's a ground breaker in many different ways. Bear in mind he's gone through many different periods, styles... a huge influence in bringing world music to a wider audience. He's kinda like the Picasso of rock. That drummer is Manu Katche, one of the greatest drummers on the planet btw... same goes for Tony Levin, one the best Bassist there has been.
*Rory.* Thanks 😊 So much to say... This song: a monster 80s hit - *HUGE* in pop culture, starting from when it was featured in the John Cusack film "Say Anything." In the 80s and early 90s, Peter Gabriel and also Paul Simon pushed the boundaries of injecting 'world music' into their songwriting and performances, creating immersive experiences featuring global rhythms, chants, and international artists. The woman who sang backup here is Paula Cole, who went on to a successful solo career as well. So much to explore with Peter Gabriel...including groundbreaking vids. Haunting melodies, deep lyrics. You've got a healthy request list of his tunes lined up in your busy queue 😊 Great reaction - so glad you're enjoying him!
Oh, I love Peter Gabriel. Though they have a different sound, Peter is very much like David Byrne, in the way they are both more than just musical artists. They are also visual artists, and lean into performance art. Peter has always been very involved in humanitarian work, associated closely with Amnesty International and fighting for human rights. He has always sought out and promoted musicians from around the world. An incredible man. This performance is from the Secret World Tour and was his best, imo. The film of the entire show is definitely worth watching. There’s just no one like him.
Always a great show from Peter! An ensemble working together. So glad you got to hear and see this. I had the joy of attending a concert, long ago.... unforgettable.
I'm getting tears in my eyes whenever I see this (for years now) and the drummer, Manu Katche, played a long time with Jan Garbarek, who does some strange kind of jazz
PETER GABRIEL IS AWESOME!! HIS AWESOME VIDEOS ON MTV SOOO UNIQUE. HE KIND OF REMINDS ME OF TALKING HEADS THEIR STYLE . I LOVE HIS VOICE!! PETER GABRIEL WAS IN OTHER BANDS BEFORE SOLO CAREER RIGHT? PETER WAS IN PHIL COLLINS'S BAND GENESIS. INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE BY EVERYONE!! AWESOME PERFORMER!! AWESOME REACTION RORY 💙 AND THANK YOU LYDIA FOR THIS AWESOME BEAUTIFUL REQUEST. 😊💓🔥🤘✌️ I THINK YOU BLEW RORY'S MIND!!
Shout out to Tony Levin, one of my bass guitar heros. I find Peter is extremely generous, giving each and every person on the stage a chance to shine. One of the few artists that are really worth doing live, but do yourself a favour and check out the studio bersions too.

Peter Gabriel is fantastic. He was so unique. Nobody has ever done what he did, before or since ‘Games Without Frontiers’ gives me chills.
This was written about Rosanna Arquette as was Rosanna by Toto

PAULA COLE I REMEMBER HER, BEAUTIFUL VOICE!! NICE ONE LYDIA!! 😊💓🤘✌️
Iconic performance ❤😂😊😊😊❤❤
The female singer is Paula Cole, who had her own big career in the '80's. She joined him for part of the tour.
This entire concert is pure fire! Great reaction to an incredible song written by pure genius!

Saw this in Montreal, June 1994. A mind blowing concert.
Amazing show ❤ Peter Gabriel is such an exceptional artist. He and Tori Amos are close fun fact ❤
Manu Katché on drums. One of the best.

Peter Gabriel was a founding member of Genesis.
Secret world concert is the best for Peter Gabriel.
Peter Gabriel Is a great showmen and musician you may want to do more of him He gave his band Gennasis up and went solo
It’s kinda like a spiritual experience
Peter Gabriel has a unique voice. Loved him esp. in Genesis throughout the 70s. Big fan. have a suggestion btw. I'll request via paypal.
Paul Simon "Diamonds On the Soles of Her Shoes" live with Ladysmith Black Mambazo
❤🍀
Reminds me of the lion king😊
Suggest Shaking The Tree from the same concert.
The female Paula Cole only came in a few days before this show.
The studio version of this song is superior to this version.
