In 2002 and 2003, following the release of his album UP, Peter Gabriel went on the road with his Growing Up tour, once again collaborating with production designer Robert Lepage to create a spectacular and theatrical live experience. The tour took in thirty-two cities across the USA, Canada and Europe and this concert performance was recorded over two nights at the Filaforum in Milan in May 2003, with Peter Gabriel and the band performing in the round at the centre of the arena.

I used to get my daughter to sleep with her head over my shoulder listening to this song... In your daddy's arms again.. Gets me every time... She still remembers it.. A bond that will never be broken
You're a very blessed guy!
💕 Lovely.

This song is based on Anne Sexton's death. She was a poet with a sad life and a sad relationship with her father.
Her poem that shocked PG was "45 Mercy Street".
Anne Sexton committed suicide, her fifth attempt, in 1974 (she threw down a glass of vodka and went into the garage, shut all the doors, started up the car, and died of carbon monoxide inhalation). She was 46.
Anne Sexton's work is very dark.
The song uses a brazilian northest rhythm, according with Djalma Corrêa, the brazilian percusionist.

This ist a sad information, thank you for posting it !
The song seems our brazilian rhythm
Agora descobri de onde a banda conseguiu entroduzir o triangulo eu sou do Nordeste brasileiro e conheço esse instrumento musical ficou incrivel adoto essa canção desde a minha adolescência hoje quem curte comigo ê minha filha
@@joseanemaria4250foi gravada inicialmente no Brasil, após Peter Gabriel tomar um susto num avião. Gravou com instrumentos de forró a demo. Depois, manteve o triângulo na versão final.
And when people like Peter Gabriel are long gone, where are the pretenders who will step up and fill their huge shoes? Personally, I cannot see anyone waiting in the wings. We'll all just be here on UA-cam lamenting their passing and giving silent thanks that we were fortunate enough to be around when they were here ...
This song means so much to me. I have a hard time listening to it now. Back when this dvd concert came out I bought it and was a fresh Peter Gabriel fan. I was not prepared as to what would transpire soon. I was not prepared for the emotion that overtook me. It was in a healing way though. Great art always (most always) is. In a few weeks my father had passed away unexpectedly from congestive heart failure. I was completely naive and had no idea what this meant when the doctor told my mom of his condition. Maybe I was in denial, however as the days went by after his passing I kept listening to the growing up concert/dvd. It amazes me because my father used to take me out in his boat with him and his fishing buddies. I never realized how much that meant to me until after he passed away. His grandfather used to take him out fishing as well. It's amazing how meaningful these small details can be for us. Anyways, Peter Gabriel, I hope you read this comment and know how much Mercy Street means to me.
+Simon Ellis its for me the best song of peter, you are no alone, Genesis, since The Nife, we love the music. From Spain
+Scott Genereau Thank you for sharing. Similar experience here with this song.
Feel you buddy, Hes an inspirational genius, i love his music, dont get music like this now a days, it hits me so hard! So emotional with peter gabriel! Love it, i began hearing this when i was a young boy about 7/8 years old!
🤗🥰
❤️❤️❤️
Mercy Street is a beautiful song Peter Gabriel created a masterpiece
Played this at my father's funeral. So devastatingly beautiful.
remember that people don't die their bodies do
@@jenryan9259 We are not this body. We never were.
@@stockbridgeworks 10000% agree with you
@@jenryan9259 I follow the Vedic philosophy. "The soul is eternal, ever existing, and primeval. It is not slain when the body is slain" Krishna, speaking to Arjuna. (Bhagavad Gita)
I didn't know the real meaning of this song in my twenties when I just started listening to Peter Gabriel. But the song somehow comforted me.. Time went by, I faced my battles with depression, loss of self worth, self destructive thoughts.. Thanks to internet, i learnt about Annie Sexton and the 45 mercy Street... Now into my fifties, I relate this to this song a lot more... These days I wake up from haunting dreams, full of scenes from my childhood and the image of my deceased father standing, staring at me. I never had a great relationship with him and had huge differences in my twenties, lost him early to a heart failure, ten years back, when the bridges started to built back between us and had I started understanding who he was and his real love for his children. I think I understand why this song comforted me then and why it haunts now. I think I understand what it means "looking for mercy"
This song brings me to tears and an aching I can't even explain to myself. I find it moving, cathartic and soothing.
Same here. I first listened to it when I was about 13 having the exact same feeling of sadness and melancholy. With the difference that at that time I didn't understand a single word of the lyrics.
The story behind the song is even sadder.
It stirs something deep within.
This song, together with Don't give up, saved my life.
Mine too brother.
Respect brothers, stay above that water and dont tug at that dark anymore....🙏🏽💚
you r a warrior
Lay on your back and look at the stars and listen and feel this song
Peter Gabriel is a magician when it comes to making music that touches the heart!
His voice is so haunting and mesmerizing. Just touches the soul. Incredible song.
I find the lyrics masterful.
Such a timeless song, and makes me think today of the Ukraine people, with a prayer that they find mercy . ‘Thank you for such a wonderful song’.
What I love about this live video is that they’re not just showing Peter the whole time. They’re showing his band and backup singers and giving them a respectable amount of time on the camera. “So” is such a great album. A lot of great ones on it!
Thank you Mr. Gabriel for all you have done to make this world a better place, through your music and your kindness, generosity and caring for those who were in need.
10000%
Holy smoke . . This is a great song.
Tin flute . . .stroke of genius
One of my favourite PG songs ever!
É fechar os olhos (se conseguir!) e saltar nessas águas ...
A mix of Brazilian melody with keyboard pads, Tony Levin from LTE, nostalgia from 90's. Mystic.
Without doubt.......one of the best songs ever written...... ever.
Peter Gabriel combines great song-writing with a perfect singing voice.
What a brilliant version and performance, of a most brilliant piece of music. Peter, I have followed you since Genesis. I still listen to the years you were with them, and beyond. You are a giant of depth missing in 99.9% of whats produced today
👍 Me too - and agree about most of today’s current music/artists being 👎. I’m 70ish now, but also have been listening to Genesis since I was much younger. THIS is, imo, a 🌟 performance from a 21 y.o. concert! I admit I never realized 🫡 Peter was originally a member till now, as I knew Phil Collins had been (and frequently listen to him - MORE now than in the past).
I want this song at my funeral. It’s a very melancholy and ethereal song. Must be related to my personality
Talk about how music can set the mood. Peter has a true talent for it.
💞 Beautiful vocal/instrumental 👏 performance AND meaningful lyrics! Although I’m 70ish, each time hearing it, I cry 😢 - wishing I could go back to the days when my father DID hold me in his arms. He passed away suddenly @ age 87 (when I was 40) from a massive stroke 28 yrs ago as a previously ‘healthy’ person. I will always regret ALL the many things I never said, told/asked him when I HAD the chance. Lesson learned: Never put off what you CAN do today until tomorrow - there’s only ONE who knows when someone’s time is up!
con todo respeto, perdi a mi hermano en la Pandemia...

This song means so much to me. When my dad passed away this song is what hit me hard and realized how much i missed hugging and talking to him! Peter Gabriel i do love your music so much!
"Where words fail, music speaks."
Between the a cappella intro, Richard Evans's haunting whistle, and the visual staging, I believe this is the best version of this song ever released.
Good music is supposed to move the soul of the listener....no matter the genre.....for certain Peter Gabriel has mastered that skill.....as have the musicians that play with him...my wife doesn't understand how I get emotional listening to and talking about a particular song or artist.....but that is quite possibly a function of our difference in age as I am 68 and she is "only" 49.....

One of the best moments in all Peter Gabriel's live shows. Richard Evans is awesome, this moment gives me chills.
Thanks Peter for all your amazing music, and thanks to all the awesome musicians that played with him through the years.
Probably, One of the best live exhibition in the history of music. A perfect and honiric atmosphere
Still.... And will always be.... One of my most favorite songs.
Philadelphia PA is a great place to work and to live. But so many of us struggle and how this song helps us all Peter will never know. #purebliss
Ich bekomme immer wieder Tränen in den Augen wenn ich diesen Song höre.
Ma jeunesse est dans cette voix, mes souvenirs sont dans ces sons. C'est si bon a réécouter.

Just how good the harmony is at the beginning of this song. For me it's the best version of this song. Love it.
Beautiful, haunting performance of a beautiful, haunting song.
Bless Beautiful.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful
I saw this in Gothenburg, 1986, for the first time as a 17 year old and I was totally sold. I will never forget crying in front of the stage watching the amazing show, Peter's excellent performance and voice but also the stunning lights. It will stay with me for life. I will see Peter's show in Stockholm in May and I can't wait. You have left a huge impression in my heart. Thank you.
I listened first to that song standing alone on the bow of a 3 mast sailingship at night, going north to Iceland while the northerlights played in the sky...
That whistle sounds beautiful!
this is one of my favourite songs of all time. Thank you, Peter!
It's indeed a great pleasure for me to have a supportive fan like you. Message me on my hangout email

Love deine Songs hammer 🔨 bis heute. ALLES GUTE dir.
I wish he did this live in his most recent tour. Such a fantastic song.
Conheci essa linda música na série Sorriso do lagarto nunca mais parei de ouvir 😢
This song has gone from meaning nothing to so much now how come I have only started appreciating Peter Gabriels music now
This song is wonderfully indescribable. 😍😍😍
It’s such a wonderful song brings you back on the ground of your soul.
Cool music: This is a delicate and a clever English ballad composed by the genius Peter Gabriel. Here, Peter Gabriel is interpreting this title "Mercy Street" with his new great musicians. But what is the most important: Peter Gabriel is finishing his new album.
Without words...
Хорошо бы Одесса с двумя "с" писать.
Who in their right mind thumbs this down? This is legendary!
Beautiful. ❤❤❤
I didn't even know I was hurting inside until I listened to this... Powerful, where are all the fathers? I never got held , dad wasn't really around and my son and daughter growing up without a dad. 💔
What a piece of art
Gabriel, my son has this name. I discovered this voice at Genesis some time later on Mercy Street. It was a unique experience to discover your albums and the excellent works of all your band. Thank you Peter, for the stories, for the melodies...
My father was a monster but I still love this song!
One of the best songs ever written" 😊
Wonderful song,!!!
Thank you Peter for your wonderful music!
I m with my father..he s fighting the waves.. I soo miss my father...and now probably i will join him fighting putin war. what the world happend ...idk . But I hope Peter Gabriels of this planet would bring peace to everyone. Love guys. Love.
Love, peace no war!!!
Love this song
This is my neighbor's favorite song, whether they like it or not
На blu-ray дуже гарно як зображення та звук. 🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤🇺🇦❤
that is so big!
Peter Gabriel at his very best performance. Sincerely
I liked this hier from Brasil 🇧🇷
Fechar os olhos e deixa a emoção entrar em seu coração!
Emoção e algo passageiro, mais a fe jorra para toda elernidade en outro plano!
The imagination and ingenuity involved in presenting this tour was off the scale. This is a reminder of a magical evening. Fabulous 👌
Peter ist einer von ganz wenigen.
Diese Musik ist wie Medizin für meine Seele.
Sie heilt mich , wenn nichts anderes heilt.
Sie wärmt mich, wenn ich Eis bin.
Es ist schwer zu beschreiben was in mir passiert.
Ich glaube meine Emotionen werden überfordert, mit einer Wärme und Schönheit die man eigentlich nur träumen kann.
Ich bin unendlich dankbar .
Ich hoffe das ich meiner kleinen Tochter diese Musik mit auf den Weg durch ihr Leben kann.❤
Man, this song has always hit me in my feels...
I saw Peter 1974 first with the Lamb lies down on Broadway Tour in Düsseldorf/Germany , and after all the time he stayed her by us.... great song .. great performance I love it
This song brings me into the presence of God.
This just blew my mind!! Sat with tears streaming. Absolutely stunning ❤
Tell me the first forty -- fortyfive seconds of this aren't the most incredible vocal pieces ever.
Il avait commencé avec Genesis et continue seul quel innovation dans la music et les texte et son génie de la mise en scène
Living alone now, and when I need that alone time, it's Mr. Gabriel I tend to turn. Timeless music, so, so special.
Perhaps one of my favorite renditions of any song, ever. Beautiful vocalizations by all the performers.
1986 at its finest
I saw this concert in Milan, spring 2004... unbelievable...!
Something I'll never forget.
One of a kind, dont get music like this anymore, been listening to his since i was a little boy at 7 years old! So many memories, and so many true words spoken, everything is perfect from peter gabriel, mans a genius
