...it is So DELIGHTFUL to watch the WONDER flower 'in your eyes' as you watched- & listened- & Smiled, & felt goose-bumps on your arms, and swayed to the music & the lyrics & the beat- and rhythms...and appreciated the flexibility of Peter Gabriel's Unique voice...and how you were knocked-back in your chair by the Pure, Strong & Flawless vocals of Paula Cole...
Peter Gabriel started out in the band Genesis. Keep watching the incredible Gabriel videos. But also check out '70s Genesis. He sang with Phil Collins. And if you do not know Collins you are in for another treat!
Love your reaction. Mr. Gabriel was one of the first to help introduce 'world music' to world-wide popularity. He started as a drummer so he appreciates the African and Caribbean rhythms.
You are such a delight!! Your joy is so infectious!! Thank you so much for this reaction video. This performance of this song in one of my favorite things in the entire world. So much love, hope, beauty, and connection. Seamless. Perfection. You are right: otherworldly!! The entire Secret World concert is worth seeing and listening to. I recommend Come Talk to Me, Washing of The Water, and Shaking the Tree. Peter is really dynamic in all of his music videos and live performances. Most of the musicians and vocalists here have recorded and toured with him for decades so when we see Peter perform, yes, we really are seeing a band, even though his name is the one we hear. I recommend Signal to Noise, the live performance with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. And Downside Up, performed with his daughter, Melanie during the Us Tour.
Whenever i watch this performance it reminds me of this wisdom i have lived my life by,, The Earth Is My Mother And ALL Her Children My Brothers & Sisters ❤️ 🧒 🌎 👧 ❤ Navajo/Bil Hozhoni (The Happy One)
Thank you for reacting to Peter Gabriel. I've been a fan for decades, because I enjoy his wit, his spirit, and his mission, and his talent. I've seen him four times (once with Genesis when he came out for an encore), and I plan to see him again this September with my daughter. I think you will be very touched by his anti-Apartheid anthem, "Biko." I also recommend "Solsbury Hill" which is my personal theme song.
The voice you love belongs to Peter Gabriel. He began his career with a band, Genesis, who's music was so tremendous, so ground-breaking in its time (the early 1970's) that a new name had to be given to it. The name is "progressive rock", a genre which was quite popular back then, with bands like Yes and Genesis filling stadium for their concerts and selling out huge indoor arenas for several nights in a row. The music of Genesis has well stood the test of time and is being discovered today by young people like yourself. When Peter Gabriel left Genesis to go solo, it was front page news throughout England. This particular song was re-imagined by Peter when he was in his world music phase and given lots of African music touches and rhythms. The young lady wearing the clingy black dress and combat boots is Paula Cole, a solo artist who joinedPeter's band for this one tour. She has a fine voice, doesn't she? Another noteworthy performer is bassist Tony Levin, who is considered to be one of he most talented and innovative bass players in the progressive rock universe. You need to learn about Genesis. Start with "The Firth of Fifth" ua-cam.com/video/rcoHiBYBUvs/v-deo.html, then give a listen to "Cinema Show" ua-cam.com/video/rkp0-EmiDOg/v-deo.html Genesis has two eras, one with Peter Gabriel on vocals, and a later, more mainstream pop version of the band, with Phil Collins on vocals.
A great uplifting song with a Gospel choir background singing is "Coming out of the Dark" by Gloria Estefan. She wrote this after recovering from a bad tour bus accident where she got injured.
Here's another iconic Peter Gabriel song but it deserves an explanation: Years ago Peter Gabriel got divorced when his daughter Melanie was just a child. Being so young she was hurt and confused at the situation that she had no control over, so she turned it into anger and stopped talking to her father. Peter wrote the song COME TALK TO ME for her, to explain that it had nothing to do with her and that he misses her and loves her. Years later, after she had made amends with her father, she also became a singer. She joins him live onstage to sing COME TALK TO ME, it's very emotional when you know the backstory: ua-cam.com/video/4J1gWMLbV70/v-deo.html
@@EdwardGregoryNYC Enjoy! I saw Paul McCartney at the Prudential Center with my son a few years back, there's nothing better than sharing that experience with someone you love.
While we're on a Peter Gabriel theme, here's another one from the same concert as IN YOUR EYES. This is SHAKING THE TREE, about women's emancipation, specifically in Africa but meant for women around the world. The song was written by Peter Gabriel and Youssou N'Dour, a Senegalese singer. SHAKING THE TREE - SECRET WORLD LIVE: ua-cam.com/video/3_Q79lls1f0/v-deo.html
If you liked the African influences in this song, you would probably also like Paul Simon's "Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes". He includes many Africans in the performance and the dance moves and vocals they do add a very lively feel to the song. live in Africa version: ua-cam.com/video/Fmf9ZJ_Yn0A/v-deo.html "studio version": ua-cam.com/video/Fmf9ZJ_Yn0A/v-deo.html
I have to laugh at American Blacks that call themselves African American...I watch their reactions to this song and 99 percent of the blacks have no clue what the music and drums are, most just don't have a clue it's African influence. It takes real Africans to know their own culture, not an American born race that pretends it's African American.. They were not born in Africa and Neither was their parents or grandparents. Elon Musk is a true African American as you are.. Love that you recognize African drums and DRESS right from the get go... Great reaction.
This performance more than any other I know melds the talents from so many disparate parts of the world - and the results speak for themselves. It's a spiritual experience, and a metaphor for what the world can achieve when we look beyond our own shores and experiences. I'd like to give credit particularly to Manu Katche, whose drum rhythms inbue this performance with immense drive and energy, but of course to Peter Gabriel for his vision and selflessness in letting all the performers shine.

This is a song of such love and such hope... it never fails to cheer me even on my darkest days... incredible performances by everyone...
You completely got it immediately.. of what was going on and what it meant ..
YESSSSS!!
An incredible performance..As well as a celebration of human diversity & world unity ❤🌎❤
Yes a celebration of human diversity.
Love your reaction. Mr. Gabriel was one of the first to help introduce 'world music' to world-wide popularity. He started as a drummer so he appreciates the African and Caribbean rhythms.
Husky is the perfect description of his voice, haha! 😺😊
I've always loved this song. I never loved it more than I do this version. Your reaction has made it even more special.
It felt like being taken to another planet - it was ecstatic watching them perform.
This lady really got it and what it meant and that makes it a nice video to watch...
Pure joy from you, love it. Genuine experience. I've seen this hundreds of times, never tire of it. Be well, young lady.

Absolutely phenomenal performance by Peter Gabriel and this highly talented ensemble! Fantastic music!
Magical powers and performance

This like a divine encounter!!! I just loved it ALL. Peter Gabriel's voice is breath-taking.

Wooow this is intriguing. Father daughter relationship is EVERYTHING TO LIVE FOR.
Thank you so much for the information. Will definitely check out the collaboration between the dad & daughter.
@@algospelcouple9788 Thank you, as a dad of two daughters (and a son) I know the special bond, this one hits home.
A beautiful story. Now I will have a hard time holding it together when I see Peter at MSG this September with my daughter.

best full concert ever. watch it all
Thank you, will do.
Your reaction inspires joy as much as the song itself ....
It's beautiful.
Love and light girl... 💝

I think you'd really like, "Shaking the Tree" from the Secret World live. Really enjoyed your enthusiastic reaction. Keep it going.
Lighters instead of cell phones. That really was a different time. 🙂
this was the second last song of the concert

dude, from 1 white guy who hates liberals to another most likely white guy who hates liberals, your mind is fucked
There are commonalities with Ladysmith Black Mambazo, yes?
Pretty sure it’s impossible to be a racist if you get super stoned and watch this masterpiece around 17 years old…
Perfect performance.
Absolutely stoned is an understatement. Loved it to my very CORE.
