I was in a devastating. life shattering car wreck. when I was finally able - this song made me inspired to work my ass off. I was told I'd never walk again..... 95% back to normal! thank u
I'm a 56 year old man , and Peter Gabriel's songs still bring tears to my eyes.I've never been to any church where the music could put me as close to The Spirit as this man's compositions.I think he is a foretaste of the music that must fill Heaven( which,by the way,is an ocean).
Peter Gabriel is the single greatest "Rock" artist whose career started in the 1960's to still be relevant today (Sorry...Paul McCartney, Robert Plant and Neil Young). The fact that he is not in the Hall of Fame is a joke. His career had easily eclipsed his time in Genesis. He is a true "Artist", he writes, plays multiple instruments, produces, contrives theatrical performances and is unique in so many ways. Watch this concert from beginning to end.it is masterful. No one out there can touch it.
Questa canzone mi entrò nelle ossa e nelle vene da adolescente, sono passati tanti anni ed è sempre un brivido.. 19 anni fa ero lì, sotto il palco e il prossimo anno, dopo 20 anni, sarò ancora lì ❤
May dad would have been 63 today, lost him 16 years ago. I know what Sexton's poems meant to her, but I also know what this song means to me. He drowned on a pretty day in March and in many ways he had it all together. He lost control of a boat and by some miracle, my mother lived. I nearly went along that day. I often regret that I didn't, because maybe the outcome would have been different; maybe I'd have drowned with him or died in his place or saved him as he had done me so many times.
notre chanson à mon amoureux et moi. il est parti le 18 fevrier et c'est tellemnt dur.. Mais il me reste ce merveilleux souvenir. je t'aime à jamais Dom
Brilliant ...Brilliant .Brilliant!........This world will never see a man so talented like Peter Gabriel again........Enjoy all of his magical creations ........Thank you Peter!
Peter Gabriel still has that signature sound all his own. You can always tell it's a Peter Gabriel composition, and performance. The harmonies were captivating.
Probably the live version I prefer all among the others. I got goose bumps, can't moove, only my ears. Peter is like a good wine : older, better. Thank you so mutch...
Jesus. I was 12 at the time of this concert. I think I could easily repeat my adolescence just to be there. What a moving and truly beautiful song. Only Peter Gabriel ;)
He is my of my favourite artists...Poetic & artistic. This is a favourite of mine. It's so full of longing and yearning. I love the sensual aspects of this story.
Today, being halfway across the world, I had received word of a loved one who had died and I am not able to either attend the funeral or provide support to my family, but this song is what keeps me going. Thank you Peter Gabriel, thank you Anne Sexton, this is so beautiful. Thank you
@MrFbcvideo Spot on. Reminds me of when my son was little + I used to pick him up + hug him. He's grown up + a soldier now. When he went to Afghan I used to play this song a lot. Brought tears to my eyes.
It never fails to make me scratch my head in wonder why people who don't like this kind of music can't just move on and not leave obnoxious comments and/or click dislike.To the 11 music haters that clicked dislike..go away,you won't be missed.
am thinkin of goin to see the master in glasgow october,,,,,it will be10 yrs since the last time,,,,how i have aged with the great one since i was 8 years old,, genesis until now,,love the guy seen him also at mandelas 70th birtday at wembley that was reason i bought a ticket,,,,i was only 15 that day ,,,now iam 40,,,viva p.g
What Peter is so gifted is that he promotes otherwise (perhaps) unknown artist into mainstream. OK, I admit I personally don't know some of these fabulous artists, but they are incredible. Again, I must say that those who vote "thumbs down"need to just stay away!
Haha - great comment. The fact that he's been doing this at a consistent, amazing level since pre-1972 is astounding. Peter Gabriel is one of those artists that are a true gift for anyone that loves great music.
Excerpts from Anne Sexton's poem 45 MERCY STREET In my dream, drilling into the marrow of my entire bone, my real dream, I'm walking up and down Beacon Hill searching for a street sign - namely MERCY STREET. Not there.
Oh my godness, that is incredible, mindblowing.This song is one of the most beautiful things i've ever seen, heard or felt in my whole life Sorry for my bad English, that isn't my native language.But I think that its not enough words in any language to describe this song
Extraordinary. I just have a dream: geNEsis with Phil, peter, mike, steve and Tony.... too much talent together???!!!!! The best for music, I think! Thanks for this incredible SONG!!
Stand-out track from an awesome DVD, if you don't have it I firmly urge to to put it on your Christmas present list...you won't regret it, I promise. The harmonies are outstanding here but the whole of the DVD is excellent from beginning to end (plus you get the additional bonus of seeing the lovely Melanie!).
I love it. Its 2 o´clock in the night and i keep listening and keep switching between this one and here comes the flood. I had to cry two times but i can´t stop watching. Its so beautifull and reminds me when i listen to the songs as a child with my father. Just love it !
now this is the best of his entire repertoire, give me the bumps every time i lsten to it, and i cant imagine a way to improve this. i love those final words: "out with the father his out in the boat, riding the water, riding the waves on the sea" Deep as the soul.
20 years later and still amazing.
I was in a devastating. life shattering car wreck. when I was finally able - this song made me inspired to work my ass off. I was told I'd never walk again..... 95% back to normal! thank u
Congratulations! That's wonderful! :)
Happy to hear that man, keep working on it :)
KEEP IT UP RICHIE!! BLESS YOU & IF ANY SONG WILL GET YOU THERE - IT'S "MERCY STREET!!!" 💖🙏🏼💫💯🤞🤞🤞

You're not a Gabriel fan unless this song, and certainly this performance, evokes goosebumps. It is so damn good.
whats so great about Peter Gabriel is that he sounds the same live as on the recordings .. unlike newer so called singers
I cannot think of any word to describe how I feel when I listen to PG's music except " perfection " maybe ...
Incredible... Closed my eyes, had an "out of body" experience, and tears welled up and began to run down my face. Whewww...
she pictures the broken glass, she pictures the steam
she pictures a soul ..with no leak at the seam
take care soul-friend and thank you for this
I want to know how I lived 55 years and never got turned on to this man until now???
Il più bel concerto della mia vita.. io c'ero... Meraviglioso, nostalgia fino alle lacrime.. stupendo
oh frig, this is just the epitome of music. the acapella, the intro of the instruments, the whole thing.
Questa canzone mi entrò nelle ossa e nelle vene da adolescente, sono passati tanti anni ed è sempre un brivido.. 19 anni fa ero lì, sotto il palco e il prossimo anno, dopo 20 anni, sarò ancora lì ❤
I don't care who inspired this song. Because Peter Gabriel makes it magic!
Peter has one of the (possibly THE) most distinguishingly glorious voices i've EVER heard!
The best version of this song and the best peter gabriel song.
How could any sane person with hearing give this a thumbs down? WTF? This song is Beauty incarnate!

I remember listening to this song at 9 years old and I kept crying because it was so beautiful. I still feel the same way today.
One of the most extraordinary artist of our time. Long live Peter Gabriel!!!
Haunting and beautiful song that gives me peace. Love the fact that his daughter is on stage with him too.
which one is his daughter
Melanie Gabriel
"which one is his daughter"
One of the one's that's not a male! :-)
One direction
I believe it's the one who gets into the boat
notre chanson à mon amoureux et moi. il est parti le 18 fevrier et c'est tellemnt dur.. Mais il me reste ce merveilleux souvenir. je t'aime à jamais Dom
my wife has fallen in love with this song its so haunting pure class
so grateful to myself
for having been there
and for being here
If you won't get touched deeply by a music / video like this, I'm sorry... but nothing else will do it.
I remember listening to this in my dorm room many times after buying the album "So" in 1999. It helped me get through my loneliness in that place.
Brilliant ...Brilliant .Brilliant!........This world will never see a man so talented like Peter Gabriel again........Enjoy all of his magical creations ........Thank you Peter!

Grandiozno!!! Gandioznoe show, potryasayushaya postanovka, genialniy Gabriel. Golos, muzika,slova!!! Love him forever!!!!
This song speaks to my heart. Peter Gabriel is a performer who releases albums & you enjoy the whole album. Thats ole school !!!!
Dude hits it. He's been able to write pop without fear of prejudice. The dream of every songwriter.
Peter Gabriel= one of the best songwriters ever!
Never heard it better. The acapella intro is breathtaking and cuts my throut. Brilliant version of a brilliant song.
one of the greatest musicians of our time
I was 3 years old in 2003 when this concert was.
The world loves Peter Gabriel. Just heard a "new" CD is coming. His covers of songs--no guitars or drums. Looking forward to listening.
So much emotion....it just leaves you speechless and the tears running down say it all.....
This song is so beautiful it could bring world peace, if everyone listened to it :-)
truly one of the great musical geniuses of our time.
Jesus. I was 12 at the time of this concert. I think I could easily repeat my adolescence just to be there. What a moving and truly beautiful song. Only Peter Gabriel ;)
Menschen können so wunderbare Sachen machen! PERFECT !!!!!
He is my of my favourite artists...Poetic & artistic. This is a favourite of mine. It's so full of longing and yearning. I love the sensual aspects of this story.
Let's take the boat out
Wait until darkness
Let's take the boat out
Wait until darkness - comes...
Goosebumps every time.
Not much can be said of Mr. Gabriel but BRILLIANT. Happy to have been young in time when music was music
Isso que é música pra se ouvir! Quem em 2020 mês de abril do sofrido/corona...na curtição entre 4 paredes? Fé Venceremos!!! Deus é MAIS! Seu Like.
Today, being halfway across the world, I had received word of a loved one who had died and I am not able to either attend the funeral or provide support to my family, but this song is what keeps me going. Thank you Peter Gabriel, thank you Anne Sexton, this is so beautiful. Thank you
Man I love that flute part. I love it all, but I LOVE that flute part.
that flute part is frigging surreal!!!
Das ist eins der schönsten Lieder danke Peter 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great! Everyone noticed: Your Passion is music.. Respect!!
If I ever die.... I want this to be sung at my funeral.
@MrFbcvideo Spot on. Reminds me of when my son was little + I used to pick him up + hug him. He's grown up + a soldier now. When he went to Afghan I used to play this song a lot. Brought tears to my eyes.
im so glad I will see Peter live this year
for some reason this song makes me cry almost everytime...now thats a song dammmm
how can someone not like this? great song
This song is so ethereal...so other-worldly...I'm amazed at the texture and ambience that PG is able to achieve with everything about this song
Seeing him is number one on my bucket list. I keep my fingers crossed...
All of his music is so atmospheric it's crazy!
This song has been with me since 1986..
This is the only video that leaves me speechless.
use headphones when listening to this. excellent quality. who doesn't love this song?
It never fails to make me scratch my head in wonder why people who don't like this kind of music can't just move on and not leave obnoxious comments and/or click dislike.To the 11 music haters that clicked dislike..go away,you won't be missed.
Exquisite. One of my all time fave songs; filled with melancholy hope.
for me the most emotive of songs.............thankyou for the memories
One of my favorite artists. Loved what he did in Genesis and love what he did after that even more.....
am thinkin of goin to see the master in glasgow october,,,,,it will be10 yrs since the last time,,,,how i have aged with the great one since i was 8 years old,, genesis until now,,love the guy seen him also at mandelas 70th birtday at wembley that was reason i bought a ticket,,,,i was only 15 that day ,,,now iam 40,,,viva p.g
one word only: GENIUS !
Thank you for all the greatest music you gave us Mr. Gabriel.
That flute makes the whole song come alive.
Peter's the greatest. :D
Mystical, exotic, haunting and extremely beautiful melody... worth paying close attention to!!
PG's talent is endless.
I love this song. Peter Gabriel is the best!
What Peter is so gifted is that he promotes otherwise (perhaps) unknown artist into mainstream. OK, I admit I personally don't know some of these fabulous artists, but they are incredible. Again, I must say that those who vote "thumbs down"need to just stay away!
He has succesfully included his daughter in most of this tour. I think that's great.
I'll never forget this song..
Peter, the days have been so much for you. We miss you old friend. still, and still.
This has to be one of my absolute favourites. Long live Peter Gabriel!
Haha - great comment.
The fact that he's been doing this at a consistent, amazing level since pre-1972 is astounding. Peter Gabriel is one of those artists that are a true gift for anyone that loves great music.
Excerpts from Anne Sexton's poem
45 MERCY STREET
In my dream,
drilling into the marrow
of my entire bone,
my real dream,
I'm walking up and down Beacon Hill
searching for a street sign -
namely MERCY STREET.
Not there.
Everytime i listen this song i'm driven to tears. Is really an amazing song. No more words can explain it!
Beautiful humans in harmony. Perfection.
my best friend and my dearest sis have been killed...i can only hope that God has got mercy with my daughter and me...
his daughter melody is just so lovely in this (the one in the boat)
Oh my godness, that is incredible, mindblowing.This song is one of the most beautiful things i've ever seen, heard or felt in my whole life
Sorry for my bad English, that isn't my native language.But I think that its not enough words in any language to describe this song
Extraordinary. I just have a dream: geNEsis with Phil, peter, mike, steve and Tony.... too much talent together???!!!!! The best for music, I think! Thanks for this incredible SONG!!
This is the true definition of a masterpiece.
the flute in this song is played beautifully.
Stand-out track from an awesome DVD, if you don't have it I firmly urge to to put it on your Christmas present list...you won't regret it, I promise.
The harmonies are outstanding here but the whole of the DVD is excellent from beginning to end (plus you get the additional bonus of seeing the lovely Melanie!).
I love it. Its 2 o´clock in the night and i keep listening and keep switching between this one and here comes the flood. I had to cry two times but i can´t stop watching. Its so beautifull and reminds me when i listen to the songs as a child with my father. Just love it !
WHAT'S THIS!? real music? amazing live? not plastic easy crap produced on a day to day basis? no no no this is what good music is
when youre old ..when youre old.....nobody will know...a sweet sweet beauty....but so so cold.....
One of my all time favorite songs. What a collection of talent here!
The DVD is the BEST Music DVD i have ever seen, beside PULSE from Pink Floyd. I love both of them. It's amazing!
I agree 100%. It gives me goosebumps and puts tears in my eyes every time....
Nothing else to say about it.
now this is the best of his entire repertoire, give me the bumps every time i lsten to it, and i cant imagine a way to improve this. i love those final words: "out with the father his out in the boat, riding the water, riding the waves on the sea" Deep as the soul.
A simply magnificent song...what emotion!
Like all his work, totally haunting...Amazing.
best concert I have ever seen..........
This would be the ultimate for me. I have to see him live before it's all over. He's going to be in Red Rocks 6-13-11. That would be amazing.
I always get teary when I listen to this ! Peter Gabriel is with the angels sometimes !
I'm starting to love his daughters voice. There are moments when she is carrying a line, and I can really tell she's got her Dad's genes.
Most beautiful song I ever heard...... awesome
