Peter Gabriel was the lead singer of Genesis & Phil Collins was the drummer. Peter left the band in the mid 70’s to start a solo career & Phil took over as lead singer.
My eldest brother and have noted that this was one time where the member who left and the band went on to achieve massive success. Phil Collins of course has also done solo work. Another member, I just know his first name is Michael formed a group, Mike and the Mechanics that achieved some success as well.
The live version of this from the "Secret World" tour in the 90's is the best version. Actually, pick anything from "Secret World" tour and your in for a treat.
I would look at don't give up or come talk to me from secret world!
While the Secret World tour is still my favorite, i also love the Growing Up tour. Both have their own magic to it. Also this tour has my absolute favorite version of Red Rain
Absolutely, with Paula Cole on female vocals, one of my faves of all time.
The live version with Paula Cole is a mind-blowing tear-jerker. It always makes me cry and this version doesn't.
The secret world version is so much better than this one due to Paula Cole. It is the definitive live version
Loved it! Took me way back in timd
I agree that Secret World Live is the best version. That said, I also love this one. Peter always manages to get wonderful world musicians to perform with him.
As is the opinion of others commenting here, i was hoping this was going to be the SECRET WORLD live version. This was wonderful, but i guess i'm just partial to the earlier performance.
I would be willing to wager that your viewers would be happy to hear/see the younger rendition of this beautiful world music song.
Thanks for reacting to Peter Gabriel -
Me too ❤
Peter Gabriel very much trail blazed what became known as 'world music'. In the early 1970s, he used to invite great performers of diverse musical traditions (Afrca, Asia, etc.) to his large house and grounds and jam until the diverse traditions seemed to fuse into something creative and new. Thanks for your reaction.
And still does. His Realworld Studio in Wiltshire is still recording world music and supporting it through his WOMAD festival. He's also still touring and every bit as good as he ever was!.
I recommend checking out the "Secret World" live version with Paula Cole. Amazing performance and stage dance. This song was featured in a popular scene in the movie "Just Say Anything" with John Cusack.
Peter Gabriel is a legend on MTV because of his video for song Sledgehammer. Ground- breaking for the time period. Good one to react to.
👏
Games without frontiers, shock the monkey, solisbury hill among others are his solo songs that are really good.
"STEAM" and "SLEDGEHAMMER " are two others that I would like to include in your list.
this was in a movie called "Say anything" With John Cusack. He was trying to get back together with his girl and he was in the rain under her window playing this song on his boom box . Pretty good movie.
The back up vocals change to the countries singers he performs with and the local performers he hires put their own flavor to it!
Peter was a legend, long before MTV was thought about.
That guy with the deep voice is legendary bassist Tony Levin. He’s been with Gabriel for decades and also King Crimson. I saw this tour about 9 day ago in Dallas. Amazing! 3rd row, right in front of Peter.
"When I want to run away, I drive off in my car" Peter nailed it. There's nothing like rolling down the windows, turning on some great music & driving down a scenic road with no destination. 💕
For The Gabriel era Genesis (when Phil Collins’ just’ played drums and did backing vocals) I highly recommend the song ‘Firth of Fifth’
Best Prog rock song ever!
This live version is terrific and I enjoyed it immensely. But, for me, the live version on "The Secret World" tour live version is better, for one particular reason. Peter was a lot younger on "TheSecret World" live version and he is much more energetic, along with all his partners on stage... a lot more dancing around on the circular stage. you should really check out the "The Secret World" version who also features U.S..female vocalist Paula Cole throughout the entire album/cd. Her performance of "Don't Give Up" rivals the Kate Bush version...and that's saying something. Peter has many "African" derived singles...check out the song " Bico" about the murder of a young African doctor. I saw Peter Gabriel with Genesis live in Santa Barbara during the "Lamb Lies Down" tour. What you should know is that Genesis, with Peter Gabriel, was probably the most "theatrical" rock bands live going, along with Yes and Floyd. Peter used to dress in outragious costumes. He always pushed the envelope and , eventually, caused the Genesis band asked him to leave. For the both of you, if you really want to know what early, prog Genesis was all about, listen to the "Foxtrot"album.
Love your comment, just one small note...Gabriel left of his own accord, he was never asked to leave by Genesis-far from it (hell, they had no-one to take his place and considered quitting for a brief moment -then Phil gave the lead vocals a try, kinda worked out, lol). Peter was feeling too much of the pressure of the growing popularity of the band and the constraints of creating music amongst a group of 5 songwriters, in addition to the complicated birth of his first child. It can also be noted that each band member produced solo efforts -it was a deeply talented group of songwriters. It is no surprise they finished with only three original band members -it was a crowded room initially.
I agree with folks who suggest the same song from the Secret World Live tour from the 1990s. Each tour, Peter Gabriel will take a different group of world musicians out with him. The world music sound is very much in this song, and it influences all his music.
This was our wedding song. We just celebrated our 25th anniversary in May.
Happy Anniversary !
'In your eyes I see the doorway to a thousand churches' might be the most romantic and passionate lyrics ever.
Peter Gabriel was the original singer of Genesis up until "The Lamb lies down on Broadway". Peter left the band after that for a solo career, and Phil Collins, who was their drummer, became the new lead singer.
I saw Peter once live back in 1984 i think in Bremen Germany.
The better version was the Secret World Tour with Paula Cole.
The girl on stage singing back up is Melanie his daughter. This is the concert where they walk upside down on the ceiling and sing together. Song called downside up
this is an extraordinary performance, I think you guys will like..but you should hear the studio version as well, great show guys
As someone commented below . The Secret World Tour was fantastic. It is on RUclips . He is not just a one genre type musician. So this is a very "tip of the iceberg" introduction.
Another song from me to my dear departed to heaven, wife❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥
The thing you must realize is that Phil Collins sounds like Peter Gabriel, not the other way around. Phil sang backup to Peter in Genesis, and when Peter left for a very successful solo career, the band was left to search for a singer. Phil was a world-class drummer and they really didn't want to take him off the kit, but throughout the auditions nobody was measuring up to what they wanted, and finally Phil sang on some practices and they realized he sounded very near to Peter. They chose to put him out front, bringing Chester Thompson over on drums from Weather Report. In the early days of those changes, they had two drum kits set up and Phil would dash back on certain songs. Peter has gone on to expand the world of music to include sounds and performers from all over the world. I saw him at the Roxy in Hollywood on his very first tour, with Robert Fripp, Tony Levin, Larry Fast and a whole collection of top notch musicians. If you want to be amazed by performance art ... try "Downside Up" live from the Ovo tour. Maybe the most innovative and brilliant performance of a song ever. His daughter, Melanie, sings with him on the song. I promise a mind blowing experience..
He owns the label called Real World. He loves bringing everyone together!
You should watch Sledgehammer....
Salisbury Hill live is a great song if you liked this one. Great reaction guys!
I would recommend watching Peter Gabriel perform "Biko" for Playing For Change. If you haven't seen any of the Playing For Change videos, you are in for a treat.
Peter Gabriel is an English musical genius.
Check out by him,Steam.
You won’t be able to keep still.
When Peter was the lead vocalist of Genesis the band was a progressive style band.After he left Phil who was the drummer and did backing vocals that harmonized well with Peter he took over almost by default and a star is born. The Secret World live version is as good a performance as you will ever see or hear Peter did a song called Sledgehammer which was a weird and spectacular video that MTV played forever and drew much attention from the public and critics alike! You might want to react to his tune Solisbury Hill as well his earlier works with Genesis like The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway!
Heard this song a million times but never seen this…. Awesome!!
I love this performance and I never get tired of listening to the studio version of In Your Eyes. Peter Gabriel has won 6 Grammy's and has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, with Genesis, and as a Solo Artist. Besides being a vocalist, he can play at least 7 different musical instruments.
Another Peter Gabriel song that’s great is Shock the Monkey
Glad you reacted to this! I actually saw Peter Gabriel perform "In Your Eyes" live in concert last week here in Austin!! He played at the Moody Center at The University of Texas on Feb. 18!! I was also excited to see his core band members who have been with him for 30-40 years, Tony Levin, David Rhodes, Manu Katche!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND checking out "Downside Up" from this same Growing Up tour, and "Don't Give Up" from his 1993 Secret World tour!!! Unbelievable performances!!!!
Agree. Saw him a couple weeks ago in LA.
- You don't know who Genesis is .. ?
⛔ - HAVE YOU BEEN LIVING UNDER A ROCK .. ? ⛔
this entire gig is out of this world. stage show not to be matched
Anything off Gabriel’s “So” album is worth a listen. Red Rain is pretty good. For a Kate Bush duet listen to Don’t Give Up. It helped me get thru some tough times. Older Gabriel includes Shock the Monkey, Salisbury Hill, Games without Frontiers.
Shakin the tree (A Womans Day) has even more choreography
Adding on to the pile 🙂… the SECRET WORLD concert version is the best. It’s one of the greatest concert dvd’s I’ve ever owned, every song is amazing and Paula Cole sings incredibly as well.
If I'm not mistaken, I was once, this is about, his girlfriend at the time he wrote it, Rosanna Arquette.
She has another one written about her by Jeff Pocaro of Toto called "Rosanna".
Oh! Wow!
I was at that same concert in Milan more years ago than I like to count!
I promise that I started crying tears of pure joy when that same song (In your eyes) started.
That song was the very first song I had broadcasted in radio and was by pure chance... and this is a very funny story I would like to share.
It was may, just 2 days after my birthday. I had to meet with a friend at the radio station and, strangely enough, I was early and had some time to "kill" and some money in my young pockets.
While lazily walking in the medieval streets of Perugia, I've seen a van stopping in front of my favourite record shop and starting to unload a Peter Gabriel's real life sized cardboard figure and some crates of vynils of "So" (yeah... not so many CD's at the time... I'm old :-P). "Oh! Wow! Peter just published something new! Let's check it out!"... I came out from the shop with my freshly printed copy of what I later discovered as an authentic masterpiece... and my time to meet my friend came and started rushing toward the radio station with my brand new, still sealed record.
When I arrived there, my friend was truly panicking: he was supposed to start his broadcast and had the worst laringitis ever, his troath was so aching that he was totally unable of running the show for the full hour of his shift. Ouch!
Luckily, I was at the time an accomplished musician, had some familiarity with the mixer and some knowledge with music, so he greeted me as his savior: "You will run the show on my behalf: just make this hour go!".
I had no clue on how to run a radio broadcast, but I had my new record in my hands so, after a brief presentation by my DJ friend, I started introducing myself, explained why I was stealing the show and... opened my record proposing a "first listening" of it: "Being a bass player, I usually listen first the first track of the B side of an LP: this is the bass player song... in this song the bass is played by Tony Levin, that is an absolute genius and mos of you would recognize him because he is also the bass player of King Krimson, David Bowie, James Tailor, Yes and many more... the song is called "In your eyes" and it's the first time I listen to it myself."... placed the needle on the dead wax and... pure magic.
Quoting Pat Metheny: "being a musician, you can't live without your copy of Peter Gabrie's "So" : you can tell there is a "Before SO" and an "After SO" gap in music".
I' happy to see young persons (like I was at the time /nostalgia) discovering that record as it was fresh!
Really!!! Peter G is a legend. Peter was, Phil was the drummer and when Peter left they couldnt find a lead singer so Phil went and didnt want too but was great.
Peter Gabriel was iconic because of the innovative way he made his videos
Peter Gabriel was a hot on MTV due to his hit Shock the monkey absolutely splendid check it out!
"That guys vocal " is session musician and bassist Tony Levin. 👍
Peter Gabriel is Unique. Interesting. Humane. Gets your attention.
Omigosh, nonono…y’all gotta do the Secret World Tour live version!!!! That performance is on another level! (This a great performance however, Peter is such a terrific musician & has a catalog of fantastic songs. You got it, it is very spiritual…Peter said in an interview it was about relating to God)😊
Been a fan of Gabriel since his Genesis days. Genesis being one of the legendary prog rock bands of the 60s, 70s along with Floyd and Yes. His solo career has been remarkable. Solsbury Hill from his first album was a massive hit. He had been quite the performance artist on stage with Genesis and this translated into amazing and innovative music videos just as MTV launched. I'm sure the answer to your question is Sledgehammer. My favorite vid is Don't Give Up, a duet with Kate Bush. Those two collaborated a great deal together. And of course, In Your Eyes is the song playing during the enigmatic Boombox Serenade scene from Say Anything, a great love story of a film.
I love the opening of Secret World Live..."Come Talk to Me". A must-see concert.
Please watch the Secret World version with Paula Cole. Such a Great performance.
Well Done guys! "Who is Peter Gabriel"? Another musical genius. Highly recommend "The Musical Box- Genesis, The Midnight Special 1974". You guys are loose and really feeling the music these days, great to see! Music really opens up the Dopamine in your brain, very healthy! Peter Gabriel left the band and Phil Collins moved to Drums/Lead Vocal.
great peter gabriel ,peace and love for the world
should have done the one with Paula Cole - now that was a classic
Peter has his recording studio just a few miles away from my home and one of his biggest hits is Solsbury Hill which is also near me . Climbed the hill recently , it looks out over the city of Bath England 😊
Fantastic song. He's much more than a singer, he puts so much creativity into his music and performances. This is captivating.
Gabriel is fantastic vocalist, both early in his career in Genesis, with great prog rock, as after that. I loved his first single after Genesis, Solsbury Hill, but he made many more songs that you should listen to. At some times, his music is described as world music, he never held back exploring different influences from all over the world and incorporating that in his music. And he had a bunch of world class musicians joining him on that voyage. The bass player with the low voice is the legendary Tony Levin, who also can play the chapman stick, and that is impressive.
Beautiful song. Mercy Streets my favorite.
If that performance doesn't lift you up nothing ever will. His bank and their instruments from Africa, the Mediterranean and Middle East. Incredible live performance. Thanks for sharing.
This song was originally used in the movie "Say Anything" staring John Cussak. The lyrics are easier to understand in that version. However, this version is beyond better.
Gabriel is EPIC
♥ also.... When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
Matthew 9:36
Peter Gabriel Mike Rutherford & Tony Banks formed Genesis at School. They originally had no drummer. Phil Collins took over lead vocals after Peter Gabriel left.
He’s also famous for founding WOMAD
World of Music Arts & Dance Festival.
Check out - Solsbury Hill, sledgehammer, Biko & Don’t Give Up -the wonderful duet with Kate Bush
Peter LOVES World Music! I love that he brings his beautiful song & this inspiring, inclusive performance to us. It is exceptional! 🫶
I see the doorway (in your eyes)
To a thousand churches (in your eyes). Just seen him a few weeks ago. Still touring and a great show!! Great reaction!! Thanks!!
his sledgehammer video on mtv was legendary.. he is one of my favorites. best concert i have seennis him and sting. So the album is one of best full albums.. he has always brought music from world to his songs.
This is what pure beauty sounds like.
he is playing what he calls world music
saw him live, the openner was just a chineese violin player, digged it!
Yes, other Viewers ave already explained that: Peter gabriel was genesis main vocalist (althugh Phil Collins had some short songs on his own) between 1968 and 1974 he left in 1975 and the band were looking for another vocallist but eventually decided that Phil Collins would be the best fit. Gabriel, meanwhile, pursued a solo career, but also is a proponent and supporter of World music, playing with or for exotic musicians from Asia, Africa, South America. There exists another version of this live performance where he sings, e.g. with Papa Wemba, one of the most prominent musicians of Congo. 🙂 And the guy with the deep bass voice t the beginning (who hppens to play bass ;- ) was Tony Levin, a session musician to a myriad of different performers but also the member of King Crimson. 🙂
Luved his 70s hit Salisbury hill - steam- games without frontiers- you haven’t listened to his back catalogue then you’ve got a goldmine of past U.K. hits - all pretty great.
Peter has ALWAYS had epic percussion in his songs and his voice is unique. Legend.
There is a version of this featuring some vocals from Youssou N'Dour, a male vocalist from someplace in Africa, and it is positively beautiful.....very strong "world music" vibe ! He basically sings the part that this woman in the purple sings here. I think it has been removed from RUclips though.
Youssou N'Dour is from Senegal. I love the live version that he is in!
He was the original performer on the recording on So singing in his native language Wolof. Youssou was on the tour that supported the album which I saw in 87. I love all the live versions of this song…saw the Secret World tour as well which had a fantastic version with Paula Cole which you can see on RUclips. I saw him live five times (twice with Youssou). Best solo artist I ever saw. Biko live is an out of body experience.
'Secret World' concert film is well worth the effort....
I went to see Peter in London a few months ago. (In concert, I didn't pop round for tea.) What an experience. I've loved Sledgehammer for so long I thought that would be the highlight; but over the past few years I've grown to love this song, and I went for In Your Eyes. Wasn't disappointed.😊
I believe Mike Rutherford from Mike and the mechanics was also in genesis. Silent running is a great song you might like to check out
Genesis were one of the major Prog rock bands in the seventies, with strong classical elements, they were five members, but two left because the music was becoming Pop- like in content
Phil Collins took over the singing from Peter because they could not find a replacement for Gabriel
nowadays Genesis are seen as main stream Pop, one of the members that also left is Steve Hackett and he is taking the original Genesis music all over the world including sell out performances' the latest concert being a couple of weeks ago in America
the song 'Suppers ready' is an absolute classic, and from Peter's solo career 'Games without Frontier is one of his great songs but there were many
Peter Gabriel is a legend! Can't go wrong with any of his work. Influences changed over the years so it's great to listen to him from start to finish. Please, please do a lot from him!!!
All of us that was alive in early MTV years got the Sledgehammer part. Right in front of AHA s Take on me MTV vid😎🇧🇻😋
Nice reaction. He is old here he was much better as a younger performer.
You need to settle in for a romantic evening and watch the entire Secret World concert video. This show was kinda a tribute to that tour.
I've said this before about Samantha, she is so beautiful.
The live version from South Africa is legendary and a must listen to as well.
Great reaction. Please check out Peter Gabriel who sang Don’t give up with Kate Bush… Long story short…haha Phil Collins replaced John Mayhew on drums in 1970. Peter Gabriel left the band in 1975 and Phil Collins took over on lead vocals.
"Don't Give Up" is a stunningly beautiful song by Peter & Kate. Amazing lyrics. Most people don't notice that the sun eclipses in the background.
@@jennhurl Absolutely stunning song and lyrics, a must reaction.
Music, the universal language, can be wonderfully transcendent. May I suggest Joni Mitchell “Both Sides Now” at the Newport Jazz Festival 2022
You should definitely check out In your eyes from the secret world. He had a lot of African musicians on the stage. PG has a record label that promotes music from all around the world, which also influenced Peter's music.
The best next song might be "Secret World from the secret world tour
You need Peter's big hit Sledgehammer from the 80's with his ground breaking video. Trust me.
Watch the Genesis album when in Rome,,,,, lead singer, he was drummer and took over for Peter,,, one of the largest outdoor concerts ever,,,I am 65 years old and have been to many many concerts, with various types of music,,,,,, keep up the good work,,,,Celtic women or woman, righteous brothers, two to think about❓
The best version of the song is the Secret World concert. If you don’t watch that one, you’re missing out big time.
Imagine having 2 big songs by 2 big artists written about you?
(Rosanna Arquette)
Peter Gabriel also has the Grammy Award winning album with the shortest name.
FYI The background singer in the black dress is his daughter Melanie. He wrote the song COME TALK TO ME about her; when she was a little girl Peter got divorced and Melanie was confused and hurt so she stopped talking to him. Years later, after they reconciled, Melanie joined him onstage to sing the song together: ruclips.net/video/4J1gWMLbV70/видео.html
My friend’s wedding song back in the day
The other live version from the late 90s will make you cry.
I know you have a studio background. You may really like Peter Gabriel's studio video, "No Way Out". His daughter sings with him. Very professional and memorable.
Beautiful music you never cieze to amaze me have a great weekend and remember be safe you two 👍

Peter Gabriel has long been a favorite musician of mine. He was the lead singer when I got into Genesis and followed him throughout his solo career. He came to embrace all kinds of music.
Guys Emerson Lake and Palmer Trilogy for the ultimate adventure ❤️✌🏼
There is, or can be, a duel meaning to this song. It could be referring to a love interest, or it be religious in nature. This performance is good, but the best is a live performance video from the 90's with Paula Cole. It's off the charts.
You need to listen to Don't Give Up, where he duets with Kate Bush!
This song was written in reference to the eyes of American actress Rosanna Arquette whom he dated. The song Rosanna by Toto was also in reference to her. Recommend Shaking The Tree from the Secret World Tour.
You should look into other live performances of this song. Gabriel has evolved this song on each performance to keep it fresh and relevant. Also check the original track. Each will impress
🇨🇦 That guitar like instrument with a long neck, is an Sitar from India, although I feel like it is a mini version or mini Sitar ! The Beatles also wrote a track or two with a Sitar !
This song is a clasdic,and Peter Gabriel is a master! If you like this,you will also love a live performance in South Africa of Mumford and Son and Baaba Maal,performing,THERE WILL BE TIME!( You can thank me later!) NOT TO BE MISSED!🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
