One of my favourite songs by Peter Gabriel, love his music, but what you said about it warmed my heart, because you are spot on! If all the people of the world watched this, it would make us all believe in world peace!
You might find yourself equally moved by some of his performances of "Biko" -- a powerful tribute to Stephen Biko, a hero and martyr of the struggle to end apartheid in South Africa.
The bass player, Tony Levin, has been around from PeterGabriel to Paul Simon, to King Crimson and others. Check his playing with Liquid Tension Experiment Live-with Dream theater's Jordan Rudess, Mike Portnoy and John Patrucci. Their combined playing will knock your socks off-guaranteed .Try cuts Acid Rain (playing the Chapman Stick), or Biaxadent.
You mentioned the infuence of world music... I don;t know if you realise it but Peter was one of the people to start the Western interest in it.... He started the W.O.M.A.D. festival in Britain in 1980.... In fact he sunk so much money into it that Genesis got back together with Peter as the front man again to put some money back into his pocket. And it is STILL going... He is truly an inclusive artist. I was lucky to see him in 2013 with the drummer, guitarist and bassist on the stage here when he toured the anniversary of the SO album.... They were also his base band on the album. Peter is one of the most innovative musicians I know.... He even had a PC game back out on the 90's I think... back in the early days of computers... And you were able to re-mix a bundle of his songs. Keep on Rocking Lee..... And watch more Peter live or at least listen to the album tracks.
I'm glad you moved this beautiful performance to the top of your long list of requests. It is my single favorite concert moment. Peter is my musical hero. His selfless global humanitarian work is as meaningful as his music catalog. I was really distressed when he left Genesis, but i'm so glad he did for several reasons. If you are feeling down about life, his video duet with Kate Bush for "Don't Give Up" will inspire you. So much more I want to say! 😊
Right? I know I could go on and on about this master of the mic. I hope Lee deep dives into PG's amazing solo albums! "I Go Swimming", The songs "Lay Your Hands on Me" are just some of my faves by him. SIGH and my list goes onnnnn
Peter Gabriel introduced Third-World music to the Western World, with his 1980 and 1982 albums, both heavily influenced by his travels through Africa and South America. The song "Biko" from 1980 not only brought African polyrhythms to the West, but changed world politics by decrying South Africa's Apartheid horrors. He started it all, and then went further by creating and producing the annual WOMAD Festival, World of Music, Arts and Dance.
Yes but not the only.😉 Remain in Light by Talking Heads was also released 1980 took the music world by storm fusing Fela / Afro-Beat polyrhythms with funk and electronics. Their first was I Zimbra in 1979. Library of Congress deemed it culturally, historically, artistically significant and selected it for preservation in the National Recording Registry.
I've been a prog-rock drummer for over 45 years and I have to take my hat off to the drummer. It would normally take a drummer and a percussionist to do what he did on his own. Paula Cole on vocals is an artist in her own right. As you said, what a set of pipes. What a line-up. What a performance. I like you dude......a gentle soul like myself. Must be a drummer thing. ✌️❤️🇬🇧
His name is Manu Katché, he has been in Peter's tour band and on his solo records for a long time and also played with lots of different musicians in his career.
Tony Levin on bass. He has been with Peter Gabriel. His entire solo career, which started in 1977 and the beautiful black haired. Singer is Paula Cole who went on to a very successful solo career. A rabbit hole worth going down.
I was lucky enough to attend this show in Los Angeles, in 1993. Brilliantly staged by a French Canadian Theatre director, Robert Lepage. Gabriel cowrote this song with Senegal's biggest music star, Youssou N'Dour.
Two musics you shoud listen from Peter: "The Rhythm of the Heat" and "Lay Your Hands On Me".

Watching Many Katche play the drums during this entire concert is like watching Jimi Hendrix play the guitar. An all time great drumming performance alongside this extraordinary concert and song
The tall bass player in a black long coat is Tony Levin who is a master at the bass guitar. He was in King Crimson in 1981 and plays many different types of bass instruments. Paula Cole is the wonderful singer and is awesome in her own right!
Paula Cole was flown from L.A. to Germany a few days before this concert was filmed in Italy. She replace Sinaed O'Connor who left the tour. this Secret World concert filmed is EPIC Paula Cole has a successful solo career.
This song is featured in the movie called “Say Anything” starring John Cusack and directed by Cameron Crowe. Many people believe it’s the greatest use of a pop song in movie history. Peter Gabriel himself always mentions that movie in any interview in which this song comes up. if you’ve never seen it you’re in for a treat. I’ve seen polls that say the John Cusack character is the ‘greatest boyfriend’ in history of movies, and the ending of this movie is my favorite of all of the hundreds of movies I’ve seen in my life.
This tour has become legendary for obvious reasons 😎 This song and Shaking the Tree especially. It SLAYS me that I missed it, but, you know - sometimes life demands attention. These audiences remember this for the rest of their lives, you’re absolutely right about all the world’s cultures sharing beauty and joy and kindness and yes: love. German filmmaker Wim Wenders wrote that dreams are the soul singing to itself. And the arts are the human soul singing out loud: the arts predate LANGUAGE! I’ve a musician friend who still goes to see Gabriel live tours including just last year and says he’s still great.
Solution, buy it on Bluray, upgrade your stereo, and listen to entire concert - EVERY song in that concert is amazing. I especially love the first track also - Talk To Me.
Peter Gabriels's bassist, Tony Levin, really gets down as part of Liquid Tension Experiment with Dream Theater's Mike Portnoy, John Petrucci, and Jordan Rudess.
the "black haired lady" is Paula Cole... she actually had a couple of pretty big hits, probably best known is "where have all the cowboys gone". but in this context, she's just one part of a very complex whole. I totally agree... this is the life they don't tell you about, the one we should concentrate on... what it can be. it gives me hope for the world when little else does. oh dear... dark and cheezy at the same time. anyway, nice reaction... another excuse to check out an amazing track. thanks!
This performance is so insane. His early solo stuff is great. And then, he was great as the lead singer for “Genesis”. I hear he’s a really kind and generous man as well
PG developed an interest in African music in the late 70's (mainly because he's always been a drummer himself at heart), although African music had been a presence in the UK for years, through groups like Osibisa and musicians like Rebop Kwaku Baah who had played with the band Traffic. Peter's interest in promoting musicians from 'the third world' prompted him to found WOMAD in 1980. It nearly bankrupted him, but it's why he brought them along on his tours all throughout the 80's. In the 90's his interest in world music was sort of replaced with a fascination with emerging technologies, especially those around communication. It's one reason his albums take so long, is he's doing all this personal R&D work that then goes into his new music.
The very last song of Woodstock 94. We had been building the stages for a month, I had been awake 96 hours, mostly 105ft in the air, keeping the roof system together.Ti say I was Exhausted doesn't begin to cover it. Ended up having to replace a follow spot operator who had passed out. It was a great way to end the Festival
When I discovered this earlier this year, I sent it to so many people as a display of pure joy. I also cried watching it on repeat. A few years ago, I saw Peter Gabriel and Sting's tour (huge Sting fan). Came out of it dazzled by Peter Gabriel based on his performance level and charisma.
A couple of things… Peter Gabriel started out as a drummer… so his career is a testament to rhythms. (His third solo album, he took the cymbals away from Phil Collins and other drummers for the whole album). Check out “Rhythm Of The Heat” or “Intruder”… His live work is ALWAYS phenomenal… his performance with GENESIS on “The Musical Box” from The Midnight Special is mesmerizing. Amen to your closing rant.
Hey Lee! Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to the dvd BACK TO FRONT. It's the 25th anniversary tour of the album SO which has In Your Eyes on it. Blows this version AWAY!!! This concert dvd will become one of your favorites!!! Trust me❗️❗️❗️😎
Really great to see your appreciation for this!!! I was fortunate to see Peter Gabriel this past October, and as with most of his shows "In Your Eyes" was the encore. The female singer was Paula Cole. If you enjoyed this, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND checking out "Don't Give Up" from this same concert!!!
I saw this tour in Oakland, CA. Good memories. The Paula Cole part was sung by the late Sinead O'Connor on the record, but she was unable to do the tour. Paula Cole launched her career from this.
Your reaction was very perceptive. And your words about people very wise. Peter's solo career uses alot of world music.he even has his own world music label. To see him really connect with a crowd, watch him do Lay your Hands on Me live, its magical.
This was an encore, I think the first encore, followed by Biko. A lot of the musicians on this song are from the opening band, Papa Wemba. Drummer Manu Kathe was on the latest tour. Of course, Tony Levin on bass! Stage crews came up at the end.
I LOVE this performance. The diversity of brilliant musicians, a picture of the world as it should be. The joy, the feel, the music, Paula Cole's incredible voice added - it's just wonderful and it really warms my heart. I too get emotional at the end, for some reason, pretty much every time I watch it (and I've watched it many many times). Thanks for reacting to it. Loved it!
Oh man you have to watch this concert "Shaking the Tree" There's a lot of history behind this song and his band, and Paula Cole has a crazy amazing voice! ❤ Love your reaction to this one!
Went to this concert. Phoenix was the closest to LA.we could get tickets. They had multiple cameras recording, so could have been... I believe the woman with the phenomenal voice is his daughter. Goes without saying she show was fuckin' amazing
It always amuses me that there are so many connections between prog bands. The bass player here is Tony Levin, playing for Genesis founding member Peter Gabriel. Levin was also the bassist for Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe (a spinoff of Yes), as well as being a prominent member of King Crimson off and on since 1981 (along with Adrian Belew, the dress-wearing guitarist from Zappa's "Punky's Whips"). He was also the first choice for Mahavishnu Orchestra, but he turned it down. And he was in a supergroup with Terry Bozzio.
'Don't Give Up' from the same show is the highlight for me, originally a duet with Kate Bush from his 'So' album it shows Paula Cole at her best. BTW this concert is available for purchase and ranks right up there with any concert film released.
You/we are in for a real treat, this is Gabriel at his finest. Saw him in the UK on his ‘So’ tour, he had a great talent in adapting his own music and bringing it to a wider audience as he did here.
❤❤❤This is what you experience when you go to a Peter Gabriel concert...a concert or an event of Unification! A movement he and former girlfriend, Kate Bush, Bono of U2, David Byrne, and many other artists started in the 80's....and are continuing.
Singer Paula Cole had her own hit in the mid-1990s ("Where have all the cowboys gone"). Give it a review someday. Also the entire Secret World concert, which is a visual treat as well as an audible one.
I wanted to leave a rather lengthy post but perhaps I will add more later, for now I just wanted to say that the female singer named Paula Cole who was best know for a song in the 80's, that no where nearly showed her vocal abilities IMHO called Where Have All the Cowboys Gone? You may want to check it out because it is a great song, nonetheless. And yes! Truly a creative genius! Thanks for this! As long as it's this version I watch it every single time a reactor shares it because it never disappoints. Hope everyone's holiday season is filled with all of your favorite things. Guess I ended up saying it all, anyway!😉
I got very emotional the 1st time I saw this video. One of the most joyous live performances I've ever seen. How lucky were the people who saw that tour!? I HIGHLY recommend Shaking The Tree from this same Secret Live tour video, along with Red Rain. Both are simply epic and amazing like this one is!
If you loved this vibe,you must react to Mumford and Son with Baaba Maal live from South Africa singing,There Will Be Time! A literal masterpiece of culture ,passion,and musicianship!
Bassist Tony Levin was also a member of King Crimson, one of the first and finest of Progressive Rock bands. Levin, in the late 1970s, was one of the first musicians to play and record on the Chapman Stick, when it was still largely unknown to the public. He is one of the most inventive and ingenious bassists ever.
Peter has some excellent solo ventures. Some great cuts; Wallflower. Here comes the flood. Biko. Salsbury Hill., Down the Dulce Vida. Red Rain. San Jacinto. Mercy Street. and for me, his deepest cut, Signal to Noise
i have seen this Tour twice, it blew my mind. Just on my own , with a great uplifting LemonHaze, I absorbed Peter's Secret World. Now I have seen Yes, KC, Gentle Giant, I have seen them all. But this concert was far out the best I have ever seen. Please give your comments on San Jacinto or the song Secret World. Or even do a concert review, you will love it.
"In your eyes' has that African percussive feel - great music. Very happy. I can see you really enjoying this. Should listen to Peter Gabriel's song 'Sledgehammer' with the original video clip - what great music against a strange video. I love it.
I hear you - the world is a very scary place right now, and not just in the US but here in the UK too, and neither of our countries have it bad compared to the majority (at least materially). But then you get moments like this, where you can see real humanity, and what people can do together. We just need to stop putting the sociopaths in charge IMO and we can sort things out more sensibly! PG really cares about people and the world. He has been a long-time supporter and promoter of Amnesty International, and started the WOMAD (World of Music Arts and Dance) festivals. I finally got to see him live for the first time this year. He manages the amazing trick of putting on a huge multimedia show which nevertheless feels very intimate (it probably helps that it started with a group of musicians gathering around a campfire). He told us that he was actually an avatar, because he wanted to spend the time lying in the sun, but that unlike most artists he was using the tech to make himself look 20 years older and fatter, so he's definitely not lost his sense of humour! Many people have suggested _Biko_ next, his song about the South African anti-apartheid activist of that name. I agree - it was the show closer, and was a very powerful way to end it. Enjoy!
Great job, man. This concert is, for me, is on par emotionally, with Pink Floyd Floyd…Pulse Live 1994. I tear up every time I watch either of those concerts. YOU MUST……react to every song on this album, they are all exceptional. Hey from Canada. And Merry Christmas. ❤️🙏🇨🇦🎅🌲😎🎸

One of my favourite songs by Peter Gabriel, love his music, but what you said about it warmed my heart, because you are spot on! If all the people of the world watched this, it would make us all believe in world peace!
So moving! I can't tell you how many times I've seen this and my heart swells every time!!!
You are spot on that they make you think we are divided. In reality we are not. We are seeking each other as this music and performance shows!
Paula Cole "Where have all the cowboys gone"🔥🔥🔥
You might find yourself equally moved by some of his performances of "Biko" -- a powerful tribute to Stephen Biko, a hero and martyr of the struggle to end apartheid in South Africa.
You can blow out a candle, but you can't blow out a fire. RIP Steven Biko.

I get teary-eyed every time i hear this song. Top 3 favorite songs of all time for me!
THE WHOLE SECRET WORLD TOUR WITH PAULA COLE IS AMAZING! AND YES HE IS AN ABSOLUTE CREATIVE GENIUS! ❤😁 THANKS SO SO MUCH
Paula Cole. Awesome voice. The whole concert simply amazing.
The female singer is Paula Cole, the Bass Player is Tony Levin, also with King Crimson
One of the best on bass in my opinion.
The entire "Secret World" concert is worth a watch. You will be impressed.
Agreed, I love it.
100%

@@L33Reactsyep. And nothing changes more than prog-rock.

Omg the drummer on this is insanely talented

All the musicians on that stage were awesome, but his drumming was on another level.
The tall bass player in a black long coat is Tony Levin who is a master at the bass guitar. He was in King Crimson in 1981 and plays many different types of bass instruments. Paula Cole is the wonderful singer and is awesome in her own right!
Peter is insanely talented and this whole concert is incredible!! Paula Cole gives one of her best performances!!
Paula Cole is the fantastic vocalist.
Yeah, me too, at the end when Peter sing the last '..it's in your eyes...'' He get me emotional each time.
Paula Cole was flown from L.A. to Germany a few days before this concert was filmed in Italy. She replace Sinaed O'Connor who left the tour. this Secret World concert filmed is EPIC Paula Cole has a successful solo career.

I saw this tour and 30 years later it still remains the greatest concert I've ever seen (and I've seen most of the greats).
He has written some of the BEST music I've ever heard.
All you had to say was perfect.
Peter Gabriels's bassist, Tony Levin, really gets down as part of Liquid Tension Experiment with Dream Theater's Mike Portnoy, John Petrucci, and Jordan Rudess.
Holy shit. Very much incredible performance. African music has so much passion, so much vibrance.
The female singer is Paula Cole, who had a hit of her own in the MTV days. Great tune!
I was in the front row of the circular stage. Best show I ever saw! The DVD is a must-see.
Amazing bro... what an experience 😊
It is up to your generation to forge forward with Love, Joy, Peace, and Unification!😊
Watch the whole concert. You will be glad you did.
What a great choice my friend! The girl in the blue dress is Melanie, his daughter!
the "black haired lady" is Paula Cole... she actually had a couple of pretty big hits, probably best known is "where have all the cowboys gone". but in this context, she's just one part of a very complex whole.

Peter is an amazing artist. I have actually had religious moments at his concerts. All his shows are different too.
Dude I believe it !! I can't imagine the feeling you get from being there. I bet it is pure bliss at points. What an artist..
Oh and that's the legendary Mr. Tony Levin on bass! You may recognise him from King Crimson!
The very last song of Woodstock 94. We had been building the stages for a month, I had been awake 96 hours, mostly 105ft in the air, keeping the roof system together.Ti say I was Exhausted doesn't begin to cover it.

The double violinist is L Shankar, whose career you should check out also. His work with John Mclaughlin and Zakir Hussain in Shakti is mesmerizing.
John is amazing!! I will definitely check it out 😊
Nothing misses on this concert. I dare you to check out all the songs.
Peter was on my bucket list, I got to see him on this tour with the same musicians. What I saw that night was unbelievable!!!!!
Another rabbit-hole for you to explore, Solsbury Hill, Sledgehammer and so much more, joyous stuff. ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
If you don't know who the drummer, Manu Katché, is then check him out. World class.
Tony Levin on bass and Manu Katche on drums, What a rhythm section.
I saw Peter Gabriel a couple times. The shows was awesome. It was very evident and logical that Peter would only get very professional musicians.
A couple of things…
Peter Gabriel started out as a drummer… so his career is a testament to rhythms. (His third solo album, he took the cymbals away from Phil Collins and other drummers for the whole album). Check out “Rhythm Of The Heat” or “Intruder”… His live work is ALWAYS phenomenal… his performance with GENESIS on “The Musical Box” from The Midnight Special is mesmerizing.
Amen to your closing rant.
This is the most magical performance of all times!
Hey Lee! Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to the dvd BACK TO FRONT. It's the 25th anniversary tour of the album SO which has In Your Eyes on it. Blows this version AWAY!!! This concert dvd will become one of your favorites!!! Trust me❗️❗️❗️😎
I enjoyed your reaction. Thanks.
This entire concert video is available on RUclips. I highly recommend it.
Really great to see your appreciation for this!!! I was fortunate to see Peter Gabriel this past October, and as with most of his shows "In Your Eyes" was the encore. The female singer was Paula Cole. If you enjoyed this, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND checking out "Don't Give Up" from this same concert!!!

To see him really connect with a crowd, watch him do Lay your Hands on Me live, its magical.
Seen this tour in Toronto in 93. One of my top 5 favourite concerts that I've attended. Incredible experience!
Oh, my dear my friend! You don’t know Paula Cole? You will soon!
This was an encore, I think the first encore, followed by Biko. A lot of the musicians on this song are from the opening band, Papa Wemba. Drummer Manu Kathe was on the latest tour. Of course, Tony Levin on bass! Stage crews came up at the end.
I saw Peter Gabriel 4 times in different states and also this tour here that you’re watching. The whole audience danced
That really was beautiful !!!
I LOVE this performance. The diversity of brilliant musicians, a picture of the world as it should be. The joy, the feel, the music, Paula Cole's incredible voice added - it's just wonderful and it really warms my heart. I too get emotional at the end, for some reason, pretty much every time I watch it (and I've watched it many many times).
Thanks for reacting to it. Loved it!
What a lovely reaction. THANKS MAN. 🙏🏽
Oh man you have to watch this concert "Shaking the Tree" There's a lot of history behind this song and his band, and Paula Cole has a crazy amazing voice! ❤ Love your reaction to this one!
Went to this concert. Phoenix was the closest to LA.we could get tickets. They had multiple cameras recording, so could have been...
I believe the woman with the phenomenal voice is his daughter. Goes without saying she show was fuckin' amazing
Peter's recent concert at 73 yrs old was spectacular.
It always amuses me that there are so many connections between prog bands. The bass player here is Tony Levin, playing for Genesis founding member Peter Gabriel.

Paula Cole on vocals. Tony Levin on bass of course who also played with King Crimson.
'Don't Give Up' from the same show is the highlight for me, originally a duet with Kate Bush from his 'So' album it shows Paula Cole at her best. BTW this concert is available for purchase and ranks right up there with any concert film released.
This just speaks directly to your soul. Incredible.
Paula Cole is the female. You should check out Family Snapshot, Wallflower, San Jacinto, Shock the Monkey from his earlier albums!
"Wallflower" is a powerful song about political prisoners that should be listened to after hearing "Biko."
You/we are in for a real treat, this is Gabriel at his finest. Saw him in the UK on his ‘So’ tour, he had a great talent in adapting his own music and bringing it to a wider audience as he did here.
He and these musicians made something so special here. I mean good lord. How can you not love this???
your heart has to shrink some not to! 😅
❤❤❤This is what you experience when you go to a Peter Gabriel concert...a concert or an event of Unification! A movement he and former girlfriend, Kate Bush, Bono of U2, David Byrne, and many other artists started in the 80's....and are continuing.
Great reaction well said at the end couldn't agree more. This song is a great performance by talented people that touches you. 🤟
Singer Paula Cole had her own hit in the mid-1990s ("Where have all the cowboys gone"). Give it a review someday. Also the entire Secret World concert, which is a visual treat as well as an audible one.
Soooou amazing Peter Gabriel at the best, love ❤
amen, dude.
as a 69+ y.o. Gabriel fan, it's all about treating others how you wish to be treated,
none of the other crap matters.
I wanted to leave a rather lengthy post but perhaps I will add more later, for now I just wanted to say that the female singer named Paula Cole who was best know for a song in the 80's, that no where nearly showed her vocal abilities IMHO called Where Have All the Cowboys Gone? You may want to check it out because it is a great song, nonetheless. And yes! Truly a creative genius! Thanks for this! As long as it's this version I watch it every single time a reactor shares it because it never disappoints. Hope everyone's holiday season is filled with all of your favorite things. Guess I ended up saying it all, anyway!😉
The woman is Paula Cole, from Twin Cities, Minnesota
I got very emotional the 1st time I saw this video. One of the most joyous live performances I've ever seen. How lucky were the people who saw that tour!? I HIGHLY recommend Shaking The Tree from this same Secret Live tour video, along with Red Rain. Both are simply epic and amazing like this one is!
If you loved this vibe,you must react to Mumford and Son with Baaba Maal live from South Africa singing,There Will Be Time! A literal masterpiece of culture ,passion,and musicianship!
The whole concert is easily accessed online, just google the concert title add live, and it will pop up. Definitely worth a watch.
Yeah I'm gonna be doing come talk to me next time! Can't wait to hear it.
This is such an uplifting performance. It never fails to put a smile on my face.
It was absolutely awe inspiring. I feel honored to have witnessed this.
Bassist Tony Levin was also a member of King Crimson, one of the first and finest of Progressive Rock bands. Levin, in the late 1970s, was one of the first musicians to play and record on the Chapman Stick, when it was still largely unknown to the public. He is one of the most inventive and ingenious bassists ever.
Another cool tune from this tour, also featuring Paula Cole is Shaking The Tree.
Peter has some excellent solo ventures. Some great cuts; Wallflower. Here comes the flood. Biko. Salsbury Hill., Down the Dulce Vida. Red Rain. San Jacinto. Mercy Street. and for me, his deepest cut, Signal to Noise
From his very first solo album, Gabriel has blazed a path of extraordinary music....
i have seen this Tour twice, it blew my mind. Just on my own , with a great uplifting LemonHaze, I absorbed Peter's Secret World. Now I have seen Yes, KC, Gentle Giant, I have seen them all. But this concert was far out the best I have ever seen. Please give your comments on San Jacinto or the song Secret World. Or even do a concert review, you will love it.
You nailed it. This is reality, the divisions are all created by our governments
Maybe my favorite PG song. Many a tear has rolled down my cheeks listening and watching this video.
Bro at the end I could not hold the tears back. What a performance
Great track.
You should have a listen to Peter and Kate Bush’s duet. ‘Don’t Give Up’.
That’s a great song with a fab’. Video too. 🎶❤️🎶
"In your eyes' has that African percussive feel - great music. Very happy. I can see you really enjoying this.
Should listen to Peter Gabriel's song 'Sledgehammer' with the original video clip - what great music against a strange video. I love it.
Iconic performance 😊😊😊❤❤❤
I hear you - the world is a very scary place right now, and not just in the US but here in the UK too, and neither of our countries have it bad compared to the majority (at least materially). But then you get moments like this, where you can see real humanity, and what people can do together. We just need to stop putting the sociopaths in charge IMO and we can sort things out more sensibly!
PG really cares about people and the world. He has been a long-time supporter and promoter of Amnesty International, and started the WOMAD (World of Music Arts and Dance) festivals. I finally got to see him live for the first time this year. He manages the amazing trick of putting on a huge multimedia show which nevertheless feels very intimate (it probably helps that it started with a group of musicians gathering around a campfire). He told us that he was actually an avatar, because he wanted to spend the time lying in the sun, but that unlike most artists he was using the tech to make himself look 20 years older and fatter, so he's definitely not lost his sense of humour!
Many people have suggested _Biko_ next, his song about the South African anti-apartheid activist of that name. I agree - it was the show closer, and was a very powerful way to end it. Enjoy!
Great job, man. This concert is, for me, is on par emotionally, with Pink Floyd Floyd…Pulse Live 1994. I tear up every time I watch either of those concerts. YOU MUST……react to every song on this album, they are all exceptional. Hey from Canada. And Merry Christmas. ❤️🙏🇨🇦🎅🌲😎🎸
Seriously - this is great…….no actually it is GREAT!
Bro this was breathtaking... I mean seriously.
One of my favorite PG tours….
That beautiful black haired lady is Paula Cole.
Amazing concert but Peter Gabriel is the best😂❤
