‘Come talk to me’ opens the concert, then leads into ‘Steam’ (which always makes me chuckle as his hair sticks up after the steam blasts. You catch him trying to smooth it down), also ‘Solsbury Hill’ and ‘Digging in the dirt’. All top notch and worth a watch. Enjoy!
From a fellow old guy who has seen the likes of Buddy Rich, Steve Perry, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Yo-Yo Ma I agree. This is one of the greatest concert videos.
And has some extra strings. What a wonderful instrument, guitarists and bassist both can enjoy it. I've noticed either someone "gets it" right way or they sit and look at it. Suggesting to L33 he check out Levin's band ' Stick Men".
The tree on stage is used in a few songs in a row, each time more meaningfully. This ingenious show was staged by French-Canadian Avant-Garde Theatre director / actor Robert Lepage. Peter Gabriel didn't merely "get caught up in" World Music, he introduced it to Western ears in 1977, and especially on his African-influenced albums from 1980 and 1982. (All four of his first four solo albums were eponymous.) Check out the polyrhythms on "Moribund the Burgermeister" from 1977, the album with the blue car on the cover. Then his song that changed international politics in 1980, "Biko", and then "The Rhythm of the Heat" from 1982. Amazing percussion, and his 1980 album is where the giant sounding "Phil Collins Sound" drumming was invented. It shaped the sound of the entire decade.
I love the two songs that you checked out so far, but the opening number to the concert is one of my favorite Peter Gabriel songs. *COME TALK TO ME* ruclips.net/video/T7GRBHoTUbg/видео.html was written to his daughter Melanie when she was a young child. Peter was going through a bitter divorce and his daughter, too young to understand what was happening, stopped talking to him. He wrote the song to explain that he loved her so much and that she was not part of the problem. They eventually made amends, and years later Melanie became a singer herself. She joined him onstage at a concert in Bruxelles and sang the song with him (chills): ruclips.net/video/4J1gWMLbV70/видео.html (good drumming on this one too)
I still thing Peter Gabriel put on the best show I've seen. As a drummer, Manu Katche is worth watching all by himself.And Tony om stick is in a world of his own.
I hope you get to watch the whole show someday. I've done so over a dozen times already. It's that good. This live version of SHAKING THE TREE is best heard and seen when ACROSS THE RIVER leads into it. Next time. Trivia: Peter wanted a huge tree that covered the whole stage, but due to limitations had to settle for that small one. The man is an artist. ;-) Let the music play!
Lee, go to the Top of this Concert. The Song, Come Talk to Me, sets the Tone for the Concert. It's brilliant to how Gabriel "solidifies", realizes Metaphors. Very "Lamb-like" in its Props, and very,.. British.
You are hitting some of my favourite stuff now man. I just signed up. Secret World Tour is epic. Every song is a masterpiece. The videos are such a treat. You should react to every one of them. Let’s take a trip.😎🎸🎶🇨🇦
Very nice pick, Lee! Gabriel was an early explorer of the riches of African pop music and "Shock the Monkey" became a major hit off his fourth album in 1982, released around the same time as he launched the WOMAD festival, a trailblazing forum for "world music" and ethnic/cultural crossover acts. The live version here, recorded on tour in the US, is simply amazing, it builds and builds to a climax where you can feel the tribal heat across the venue. Peter Gabirel- Shock the Monkey (live): ruclips.net/video/H4enPK3pZLI/видео.html That 1983 live album is awesome, just as powerful and groovy as Seconds Out, and with superb vocals from Peter right through. 💗
@@AirDOGGe I vividly remember a guy who posted on a long-gone internet forum dedicated to Gabriel's songs: "is there somebody who can tell a Frenchman what the song "Shock the Monkey" is about?". The line sounds very funny if you imagine it said with a typical "French accent", like in the movies...😄 (I'm fluent in French myself)
Salut... The early-to-mid 1980s were an exciting time in music and film, especially in Montreal. We were the gateway into the Americas for bands from Africa and Europe. I saw Juluka's first concert outside of South Africa at Le Spectrum de Montreal, for example. Plus, we had amazing home-grown talent spreading their wings, which I used to photograph at Statio 10 night club.
"Biko" Peter Gabriel sings w/ Sting on bass (the Police) in Santiago, Chile on video is so exotic, moving. Peter loved Stephen Biko, South African martyr. 1977. Hope you hear it💕
If you loved In your Eyes you'll love "Don't Give Up" Get a kleenex ready... There are many great songs on the album but BIKO is my favourite. If you listen to it, do some research into Stephen Biko before hand. It'll change you. At least it did for me. All the best L33.
Thank you and happy new year. Because you are a drummer as it is said, so from the same live, go check ACROSS THE RIVER (just seen that @user-dq5xx9hi4q did the same recommandation so I agree with him/her), but also the opening track of the concert : COME TALK TO ME (nice drums from Manu too). For you information : Shaking the tree, written with Youssou N'Dour is about the Woman condition all around the world. Suggestion ? Do all the Peter Gabriel's work, beginning by all the lives videos you can, even about the same songs ! All of them are amazing.
I believe the song is telling women all over the world that they do not have to be ruled by men and that they are worthwhile and have rights.
This was the best live concert performance I’ve seen ! And I am old and seen some great people live. Watch the whole thing, its a thing of beauty.
Agree 100%
Pink Floyd in the early 1990s was the best concert I ever saw. Sadly, I never attended a Peter Gabriel concert personally. Wish I did.
‘Come talk to me’ opens the concert, then leads into ‘Steam’ (which always makes me chuckle as his hair sticks up after the steam blasts. You catch him trying to smooth it down), also ‘Solsbury Hill’ and ‘Digging in the dirt’. All top notch and worth a watch. Enjoy!
I saw secret world tour in Atlanta in 93 at the Omni. My favorite concert to date
From a fellow old guy who has seen the likes of Buddy Rich, Steve Perry, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Yo-Yo Ma I agree. This is one of the greatest concert videos.
Come talk to me, and Secret World Live is a must watch.
I will be doing that one next time! Sounds so cool!!
Always loved this song - this live version is probably his best version. He can play very uplifting music.
Just about the best concert I ever watched, I keep saying San Jacinto
Written with Senegalese superstar Youssou N'dour, this is one of the best grooves of the 1990s.
Tony is playing an electric upright.
You will never tire of Peter Gabriel.
I'm starting to realize that bro. . No matter what he KILLS it. Whatever genre Whatever decade it is... crazy
I believe you were right the first time. Tony is playing an electric stand up base here. The Chapman stick has a flat fret board.
And has some extra strings. What a wonderful instrument, guitarists and bassist both can enjoy it. I've noticed either someone "gets it" right way or they sit and look at it. Suggesting to L33 he check out Levin's band ' Stick Men".
I have this DVD, it is one of my favourite concert films.
Phenomenal. I love how Gabriel introduces every member of the band. Something not to be overlooked.

Peter Gabriel was always unique starting back in Genesis. Really it's hard to classify his music and why would anyone want to.

Watch a live version of lay your hands on me.
The Athens 1987 concert is available on RUclips and is pro-shot. Amazing song in concert.
I went to a few of these shows. It was amazing
Check out " Red Rain" from this same concert... you are going to like it! Great reaction mate!
You MUST get the DVD! I watch it about once a month!
I still thing Peter Gabriel put on the best show I've seen. As a drummer, Manu Katche is worth watching all by himself.And Tony om stick is in a world of his own.
So great ❤ I always loved this song
It’s such a fun song :) Peter and Paula are electric

I read recently that Come Talk to Me was written for his daughter
@@janewells5970 Wow. And I wonder to which Daughter.
@@semchen9 I heard it in a very recent interview I’ll look for it and try to repost
@@janewells5970 Thanks Jane. For Decades, I assumed it was to Rosanna Arquette, his by then, Ex-Girlfriend.
@@semchen9 nope. In your eye is for Rosanna
Love his voice 🎇

Many people think the song is about animal testing, but it's actually about releasing primal instincts.

since you like In Your Eyes, try the full version of it from live in Athens, it has even more of an African flavor to it
Sweet I'll check it out ! Thank you

yessss
Woooooo :) hope you enjoyed!
We need to have a chat about women’s rights, health and legal status…
Hey Lee,
You must listen to BLOOD OF EDEN, by Peter Gabriel and Sinead O' Connor.
Sensational 😊
Keep Rocking.
Ronnie
Scotland.
Blood of Eden is gorgeous!
@@janewells5970
Hey Jane,
Appreciate Your reply.
Loved Gabriel in GENESIS.

Yes!

Tony was playing an electric upright bass, not a Chapman stick.
Kiss that frog, same show

There are many great songs on the album but BIKO is my favourite. If you listen to it, do some research into Stephen Biko before hand. It'll change you. At least it did for me.
All the best L33.
Biko is rough when you realize what the lyrics are about
