#Live #DVD
Tomorrow marks the first anniversary of the passing of my wife. I have listened and viewed this video so many times I can’t count them. Somehow it speaks to my loneliness and even perhaps the hope for tomorrow.
Im so so sorry to hear that mate, im so pleased though to hear about your glimmers of hope for tomorrow, Earth and the people need you my brother, I'm sending all the good vibes i have, keep moving keep rebuilding, we are all here for you
@@TheLeon1032 thank you brother. The support of good people is all we ever have. I have little grandchildren that I could never leave , but the support of kindred spirits makes the journey so much lighter.
So very sorry for your loss, I am a widow too and it is not easy. The only thing I can compare to is an ocean wave, it comes and goes. Don't ever think it's wrong to remember and with time it will be easier, they are always with us. God bless you!
Mate so very sorry from the bottom of my heart. Cannot imagine what you are feeling, but, remember we all don't know each other but I just hope in some way I can take some of that pain for you. Peace my friend
God bless you from Patrick
PG is a true visionary. He hears what others cannot.
He sees what others cannot. Without equal.
For sure. I can't believe seeing him solo "Here Comes The Flood" on Kate Bush's Christmas Special. He looks like he's 20-25, but looks like he's seen an entire lifetime of sorrow. Of course he crushes it perfectly, and was also already out of Genesis at that time too!
In 2011, one year after surviving brain tumor surgery and 2 years after losing my wife to cancer, I was chosen by my tribe to ride from Georgia to Oklahoma on the Remember the Removal Ride (the Trail of Tears). I sang this song to myself the whole 3 weeks and 1000 miles.
....back on the road, alone with the sky....
Thank you, Peter.
What a perfect song in connection with that tragic enforced journey of the people…. Thankyou for sharing
Like a true professional and a true gentleman, Peter Gabriel leaves the stage and lets the Blind Boys of Alabama shine! Respect!
fuck me! never noticed this... amazing!! thanks for pointing that out :)))
👍🏻👏🏻😊❤️
Thank you for your words! I feel the same
he berated the audience in Phoenix for not paying attention to them in the way he wished
I did not see it as well, thanks a lot for pointing this out. (for the curious it's happening at 5:22 )
I have seen Peter Gabriel concerts on 3 continents. To this day there is no other performer, with his stellar band members from all over the globe that has made such a spiritual impact on my soul......A true genius. A masterful songwriter. An angel of sorts. His music will live on through time and space.....
Well said.💙
@@michelekrolczyk5882 ❤
I was 15 in '72 when I first heard Peter with Genesis, on Foxtrot and I instantly recognized his genius and his music stayed with me through the decades, with each album adding another facet to his art.
💙👍🏻🤗
OF SORTS...HIS Music on security saved my life as a 10 yr boy
My dad and I watched this concert. He is gone now and this is the first time re watching this, Miss you dad so much.
It is a moving interpretation.
Here I am in 2020 wondering if we can ever return to this level of soul in music.
God i hope so we need something to look forward to
TO ME, PETER Gabriel is the best song writer I have heard ina long time. The only songwriter and singer that I have loved is Laura Nyro who died a while back she's the only one.7

2021 - and still thinking the same
No word can ever describe such beauty.
I love how Peter Gabriel's voice never changes, never wavers. Time doesn't affect it, and it makes no difference if he's live or in studio. It's pristine.
The final part of this song always makes me goose bumps
Rest in peace Clarence Fountain (one of the founding members of the Blind Boys of Alabama)
I was absolutely blessed to see this performance live and it was moving. It brings tears of joy every time.
I was blessed also, I saw this performance live too. Extra, Extraordinary!!!!
One of my favourite tracks ever. Peter Gabriel never ceases to amaze.
Thank you for your nice comment and for your love and support, message me on my hangout.

Amen to that!!
Amen to that!!
Such a punch in the stomach..... Peter Gabriel is an immense artist, kissed by inspiration and sensibility.... Plus the Blind Boys of Alabama to hit you straight at the heart. Wonderful😍😍😍😍😍
This tears my heart out. What an amazing artist. This is art.
You are wonderful !! I have listened to you for over 45 years.
What a concert this must have been. It's so moving
Yes, it was truly amazing - the best concert I’ve ever been to. I sure wish you could’ve experienced it too.
I remember the show like yesterday. Saw Gabriel and band play in Rotterdam, featuring the Blind Boys of Alabama as well.
This song is truly amazing! What makes it even more amazing is to have been able to follow Peter Gabriel from his roots in the original Genesis group formed 1967 in England. You would never recognize him except in his most creative moments. Always throughout his career he would continue to stretch the limits in all realms of love/hate; joy/sorrow; remorse/forgiveness etc. etc. No social angst has remained untouched within his music as he has challenged all social institutions in one way or another. He has been my greatest inspiration especially in times of great need and depressed spirit!!!!!
Well I was too young in 1967 but I know what you mean. Discovered Genesis when I was 15y old or so, loved him (and Genesis) ever since. There is hardly any other voice that does that to me.
What a vocal performance!
Love you Peter Gabriel, you have helped me through so much!!
Lost my time lost my place in
Sky blue
Those two blue eyes light your face in
Sky blue
I know how to fly, I know how to drown in
Sky blue
Warm wind blowing over the earth
Sky blue
I sing through the land, the land sings through me
Sky blue
Reaching into the deepest shade of
Sky blue
Sky blue
So tired of all this traveling
So many miles away from home
I keep moving to be stable
Free to wander, free to roam
Train pulled out said my goodbyes
Sky blue
Back on the road alone with the sky
Sky blue
There's a presence here no one denies
Sky blue
Sky blue
So tired of all this traveling
So many miles away from home
I keep moving to be stable
Free to wander, free to roam
I can hear the same voice calling
Crying out, from my heart
And that cry, what a cry
What a cry, it's going to be
If I can stop to let it out, oh.
This should be pinned.
I heard In Your Eyes as a kid and that was that, life long fan here!
I proudly saw this tour in the flesh and was on the same side as Peter as he left the stage for the Blind Boys to absolutley shine. Main reason he did so was to have himself fitted with the harness in preparation for the next piece Downside Up, featuring him and his daughter Melanie singing literally... upside down!
Beautiful, the way they appears, they are stars, the way Peter Gabriel quit the stage to let them shine and every musician turned toward them.
There's also a subtlety when they exist the stage: having them still seated and descending underground would be like treating them as toys, but them quitting the stage walking is another story, a very positive one for disabled people.
I had the privilege of seeing this concert live and it has touched me ever since such talent an amazing concert
same here !
Agreed! I know this album didn’t have big hits like So did, but this album and tour were a masterpiece and is my favorite one he’s done. To this day I hear something mew every time I listen to it.
I had the honour and the privilege to be at this tour, and see the blind boys of Alabama sing, watching this reminds me just like been sat in the NIA in Birmingham, seen this again 100% perfection
Peter truly IS the 'Watcher of the skies'.
more like the sky, watching...
imagine being that talented to bring this to the world, one can only wish!!!
I keep coming back to this song
And this show
Again and again
And will do so until the end of my days
Thank you as always Mr. Gabriel
Anybody listening in 2019? I am! Over and over again. Can never get tired of this song. Beautiful!
Me, September the 31st, 2019. Loreto, Baja California Sur. México.
Bless you me too!
First time I've heard this song, it's beautiful and haunting, yes October 6 9:14 am
I always liked PG's voice, but I kinda lost track of him after Genesis and his early solo albums. I thank a higher power that I found him again in the 2000's with "Secret World Live" and subsequent DVD's. I don't know how or what kind of magic some music posesses, but when it makes you tear up, (Mercy Street, Sky Blue) you know it's special. His talent is and range is nothing short of amazing. I have lost track of how many times I have watched those concerts. Thank you PG. 10/9/19
Saw thia concert in Milano, Italy, this videocwas recorded there in 2003. Was near the stage and it was just great.
O man!-- Doin Alabama Justice with this one...love all this mans music...if other artists could only be so lucky.....!!!
I.love this song so much. Keep listening to it over and over again. One of my favorites of Peter. Can't believe I was fortunate to see it live 2 times ❤️
It certainly helps a person from becoming depressed!❤
One of the most evolved singer around and a practitioner of 'art for life's sake'. Respect.
What I wouldn't give/pay to attend one of the man 's concerts. Never heard this song before but I am in awe.
He has an amazing back catalogue Jan and it's all relevant to the Human Condition. Enjoy.
I did attend two of his concerts, including this tour. I tell you, the positive energy of this man is amazing and when the whole crowd comes together for the finale of "In your eyes" you feel elated and part of something bigger. Its just pure joy and I feel thankful and amazing for having that memory.
The harmonies in this song just give me the chills.
This song always reminds me of my Father-in-law. Not a song he would have liked but it played in the car as I brought my young Daughters home after saying (what they were unaware) was their last goodbye before he died of cancer a few days later. Always breaks my heart to hear it...
i was here in 2020, proving that music taste still exists !!! Peace
Peter Gabriel is an unsung musical genius! He's a total original and his music grabs your soul! Sir, can I PLEASE perform this song with you before I leave this planet?
Well I can only disagree with you on one thing - "unsung" is not a word one can associate with Mr. Gabriel in any way. You may be "unaware" of his contribution to the musical culture, but that is on you. There are about 500 million people who know....
Such an interesting man.. Is music is incredible.. Is interviews are fascinating and his live shows take you to another place.. Amazing Artist.
I never tire of any of his music...actually need it in this isolation time! Thank you!
So incredibly hip. Chills. Despite his fame, PG is still one of the most under-rated composer/performers of all time.
Literally, one of the most incredible things I have ever seen in my life!
This is a masterpiece of music and lyrics that soak into your skin!
I have hero worshipped this man since the early 70s and still do to this day . He can do no wrong in my eyes .
for real
ThefightingCelt I agree with you wholeheartedly..He is the best at his craft..👍💎🍻
My husband loved this guy! From early 70's until he passed away in 2012. The day after my husband, Pete, left this world I was crying, sitting in front of the computer. I'd just gotten a Pandora account and really hadn't had much experience with it. Out of every song out there Solsbury Hill (Pete's number 1 fav Peter Gabriel songs). I said out loud "if this is you honey that's all I need to know you're okay". After saying that I had the most bizarre feeling that washed over me. Goose bumps everywhere, hair standing up from my head, back of my neck and arms and the most euphoric feeling.
In Your Eyes?
@@jonathansharek6355 the light... The heat
Just recently I noticed that Richard Evans played acoustic guitar that sounded like an electric guitar thanks to the effects, so he could play Sky Blue's main riff at the beginning of the song. Great musician and producer, he's currently playing with very good singer Birdy, I really hope to see him again with Peter one day. Now he has the hair back and pretty long beard, he looks very different from this live😂 (He's probabily around 50/52 years old now)
Thank you Mr Gabriel. For all.
Take care of you and your family.
We love you
Such a perfect performance. Peter Gabriel and The Blind Boys of Alabama. There are so few live musical performances that can compare. The positive energy of the song. Makes me happy to be alive, to see this.
He's infinitely creative...and grateful! And he's always finding the best musicians.
Tony Levin, PG's loyal bassist, gave meva whole new respect for that instrument! Chapman stick played with funk fingers...wahoo!
one of his best tours. Having seen them all since the late 70's I still put Secret World as Number 1. This and a couple others tie for #2.
❤ my name is David. I fight. Not that I want to. Blue eyes turn Grey mood ring 💍 thing. Thanks Peter Gabriel you've made a difference and everlasting respect. Thanks for the joy. 😊❤👍👌💥🌏
So beautiful , enchantingly spiritual . When the Blind Boys of Alabama began to sing harmonies , good tears flowed .

Peter Gabriel has always been such a unique songwriter, singer, and performer. Many super talented musicians from the Golden Era of Rock. Peter is the Mozart of our time.
I saw two performances on this tour. Amazing...
Riding the waves of energy through time ,space ,bursting as celestial Stars ,power immense while harnessing the intensity of the given moment ,connection n peace for eternity , the given.
Every time I listen to this track I get goose bumps!!! Incredible energy, especially when Blind Boys of Alabama start singing. Just WOW!
Milano 2003, ero lì attaccato al palco a godermi questo ennesimo fantastico concerto di Peter, un'emozione indescrivibile...
Oh man, God bless Peter Gabriel. I hear this song and I just want to shout....ALELUYA!
🤔 IDK why THIS beautiful 💖 performance version of the 👍 song doesn’t have more views and comments (and recent ones too)? IMH 70ish y.o. opinion, it’s a lovely, soul touching rendition of the original - which I also like. Peter is a talented artist, both with Genesis and as a soloist, as is Phil Collins!
Absolutely beautiful. This sends shivers down my spine. Soulful.
Lost my time
I lost my place in
Sky blue
Those two blue eyes light your face in
Sky blue
I know how to fly, I know how to drown in
Sky blue
Warm wind blowing over the earth
Sky blue
I sing through the land, the land sings through me
Sky blue
Reaching into the deepest shade of

So tired of all this traveling

I keep moving to be stable
Free to wander, free to roam
And I can hear the same voice calling
Crying out, from my heart
And the cry, what a cry
What a cry it's going to be
If I can stop to let it out
Oh!
2:15 what a beautiful transition,👀
I've listend to this song countless times and still gives me goosebumps from the beginning to the end. What a wonderful song
El final es de una belleza absoluta... El coro de los Blind Boys debe ser algo parecido a entrar al paraíso después de morir, en caso de que el paraíso exista... Y si no existe, Peter Gabriel se lo inventó con esta canción.
Thanks Peter. Thanks BBs. Keen effect with the rotating sky walk.
Superb. I was fortunate to have gone to this show at the United Center in Chicago. Went with a girl named Cassy. Both truly spectacular. I'll remember both forever, I'm sure.
I also remember the crowd especialy loved the hell out of bassist Tony Levin.
one of the guys from The blind boys of Alabama died this week, just found out, so I had to play this one... such a powerful sound
sad about that ... what talent. 😢
There are few people that are ever blessed with the singing tallent of Peter Gabriel.
peter gabriel at his best and doing what he does best touching our souls in a way no other artist can!thats why so many people love and adore him .PETER THEY BROKE THE MOULD AFTER THEY MADE YOUXXX
Caroline Beardsley never said it better..He is most outstanding in my book
...👍👍👍💗💗💗
Haunting. Blew my mind when I first heard it.
This song is the shydt!!! So awesome!!!!❤❤❤ NEEDS a LOVE button!!!!!
My first and only time seeing him was this tour. BBOA opened with a couple songs and were great--very inspirational. When this song concluded there was hardly a dry eye in the place. Amazing voices.
I first heard this song on the Peter Gabriel album Up. I was moved by it, especially the part when the Blind Boys of Alabama come in.
Par moment, une fois que les larmes finissent par tomber, le soleil n'est jamais loin.
ManyThanx, Brilliant, Simply Brilliant!!😊
how have I missed this?? Incredible, Peter Gabriel you ARE the best and we all send love and peace to you since you bring it to us daily and we love you
Thank you for your nice comment and for your love and support, message me on my hangout.

This is easily the most beautiful song I have ever heard.
I cried a thousand times listening Sky Blue and Mercy Street
I was born in the 70s...nobody is perfect 😂😂 when i was a teenager i discoverd peter gabriel in Miami vice.......
Yes, I have cried many times to Mercy Street!
I feel like making an animal rights video to Mercy Street.
But if I do I'll cry forever.
Up is my favourite Peter gabriel album.he's an amazing music creator .
For all those who travel's today from all directions to PG concert in Cracow
This gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. A masterpiece.
This song is so spiritual
One of the best concerts my wife and I saw together.
A true classic! Thank you for sharing this wonderful gift and God bless all from Patrick
That was awesome!
I saw it live in Chicago.
Goosebumps... so many miles away from home
Peter Gabriel could sing a Chinese take-away menu and I would buy it...for real
Eeeeheeee weehee hagaah ! Totally...😷😎😓
Figures.
He could sing the Wikihow article on replacing your bathroom faucet and I would still be enthralled!
And me.

Peter gabriel dude your music rocks
Amazing! Amazing! Great concert, amazing production, great performer! The view is revealed fully only on DVD, on a good screen with a good sound system! Peter Gabriel - The Great Master!
Dear Mr Johnson, sorry about your loss a great moment shared with this genius musician . Love remembered! saw this live at Wembley London in 2004 we are still married!
I want this song played when I arrive in heaven ( if I can make it ) !
Great technical and artistic performance. Surely one of best concert.
Peter's daughter needs a call out, I hope she follows in her Father's footsteps and creates music as inspiring for decades as he did. much love
!
