In this episode of #thedailydoug, I'm listening to one of my favorite songs from the '80s...In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel. The catch is that I've never heard this particular live version of the song. So, join me for a first reaction (of sorts) as we enjoy Peter performing in the round with musicians from around thte world back in 1993. I hope you enjoy!

I watch this version whenever I am low. It is difficult to stay down after watching this celebration of music. The world would be a darker place without Peter and the musicians he pulls together.
Thanks god, this incredible band and Peter will hit the road soon
I know what you mean. It's just pure positivity in musical form. :)
I was feeling a little glum this morning, this is just the lift I needed and you can boogie along to it. Haven't heard it before(!), lovely, Thanks Doug
You're so right.
One word Incredible!! 😊
If only the kids today could see this............... they'd realise the shit that's popular today is not music... i feel this mentally, physically, and the perfection of every musician on stage! It's pure joy. I shed tears and think of my favourite people every time i hear it. This is what music is meant to be!
This is one of the songs you’d listen to on a big screen tv so you’d feel as if you’re there. I love it.
This entire concert album is brilliant - this might be the most upbeat and positive piece, the entire performance is as good as an ensemble gets.
^this -it's just a gem
I'm a massive Kate Bush fan, and of course her duet with Gabriel on "Don't Give Up" is a masterpiece. But...
When I heard Paula Cole sing that song with Gabriel instead of Bush, my whole world turned upside down. That performance has become _the_ "original" for me, and the album version with Bush is just the cover. The way Cole sings it, it's like that song was written just for her to deliver to us. You've _got_ to check it out, if you haven't already (someone else already posted the link in a different comment here).
@@harvey66616 ditto. That song saved my life and got me thru the most painful time of my life. I saw the Secret World tour and it was the best overall concert experience I've had and trust me when I say that I have seen more than a few rock icons in my 67 years.
best singing voice in the whole music business...
@@seelenwinter6662 Might be my favorite living musician.
This might be my fav into to a react ever. /// with all that I've done and said... this performance is strapped to me forever. I come to it when I am happy and when I am broken. .. ☮☮💜💜 i appreciate this, especially now when l am looking for the sunshine. This song reminds me to "break bread" with all I can... 8 B people on this gorgeous dirty rock spinning about. Every person has a story that is unique.
The "Secret World" tour that I saw in 1993 is STILL the finest concert performance I have ever attended. The second encore after this was "Biko"; a truly religious experience.
Biko is so powerful, especially if you were around in the 70's when the events it portray's happened. I hope Doug critiques it one day.
Biko...? Now there's an excellent tune.
I absolutely second that!
Agree !
Absolutely agree!!!
I saw Peter Gabriel on this tour in 1993, the last show in the US in Orlando. It was the most uplifting and spiritual show I had ever seen, or have seen since.
Interesting note, that the day before some of PG's tour staff were involved in an accident coming back from a day trip. Before the show PG came on stage to thank those that stopped to help as well as the first responders, and had them at the sound board area on the side stage.
There will never be another Peter Gabriel. The man is a genius, a wonderful performer, and an all round fantastic human being. He's brought me 50 years of joy and I can never thank him enough.
I'm right there with you. Idk how I've missed this until today. It is an amazing, wonderful performance.
Probably my favorite live concert performance ever. Visually, musically, and emotionally perfect in every way!
One of the Best. Concert. DVDs. Ever. Along with Growing Up Live. Worth it, for sure.
You are right growing up was a great ongoing and similar mindblowing...
I must have watched this performance over a hundred times. Every single time I end up grinning from ear to ear. What a masterful composition and performance.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention how high or note level Paula hit and held then took it even higher note. This version is by far my favorite one. Truly tremendous masterpiece and Live to boot. Extremely talented set of musicians and Peter is genius top shelf level of his own right.
I've been to some amazing shows and Peter Gabriel is certainly in the top 5.
The entire album and this particular video is THE best version of it....ever!
This is the kind of reaction to music that I like to hear, even if I don't know the terminology or can recognize the notes themselves, I like to hear it from someone who does.
Peter has a way to redefine every one of his songs when he performs them on stage. This whole concert DVD is exceptional, as well as his concert, Growing Up.
@BODIH Absolutely! Peter is an amazing artist like no other. The fact you mentioned Growing Up is what prompted my reply; an album which was a break from his, "normal" sound, but with some of his greatest songwriting on display. Growing Up Live is astounding!!
"Come Talk To Me" is the Gem from this show... right now I got the dvd on my hands....
Peter had a long history with set and costume design (for himself and others) I'm sure he designed the set/props for that.
It's perfection.
@@salsalzman2325 I saw Peter on 2009 here in my city, Monterrey, México...only he and his band, no more set and costume design ni lasers and vissual effects....
Fantastic song! Manu Katche is a badass drummer!! I have loved this song since I first heard it. I would definitely consider it world music.
Something I have never been able to work out.
Tears For Fears did Woman in Chains with Manu as the drummer. For some reason they wanted Phil Collins to take over drumming for the last quarter of that song..
As if Manu couldn't do everything (and more) they requested him to do. Insanity.
This performance was transformative for me. Paula Cole's solo is haunting and perfect!
Gabriel was in such incredible shape for this tour. Everything: voice, body, mind. This is definitely the best live concert for Gabriel and might be in the top ten of concerts in general. He was in just utterly perfect for this show.
Red Rain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! From the same album. Bass and percussion. Mind blowing! All time STAY LIST!
This entire concert is an incredible journey into light and heat!
And I am in love with Paula :D
Incredible that the vocals stay so strong and clear in the middle of an aerobic workout!
What you hear in the released video may not represent a contemporaneous vocal performance. He and his studio crew spend a lot of time working on the live tracks to meet the Gabriel standard for performance quality.
This is my favorite version of in your eyes. The instruments as usual are sososo beautiful! I got to see this tour as a teenager!! I miss it and i watch this one alot. Peter doesn't rush albums, as u may or may not know. He has a new album out, all new songs. He is a genius musician!!!
Gabriel knows how to add a special touch of theatre to his performances. I still recall being somewhat awestruck at the closing of his ‘Secret World’ performance in 1993 at the skydome in Toronto. As the final song drew to a close the entire band disappeared into a suitcase in the middle of the stage. Peter Gabriel concerts have a habit of making you as a listener, strangely moved.
Since you mentioned "Say Anything"and the ionic boombox scene from that amazing movie...there's a video here on TH-cam where Gabriel and the band performed In Your Eyes at the Hollywood Bowl. Cusack walked out on stage as the song was starting and gave Peter a big giant boombox. Gabriel held it up over his head for the crowd and acknowledged Cusack. It's brilliant.
Shaking the tree from this concert is well worth a watch
Doug, you owe it to yourself to watch this whole concert. It is absolutely amazing. Paula Cole is flawless as well.
This could be the most joyous performance of any piece of music.
actually was at PG’s concert in Milan the day before the Modena concert so I experienced this same perfromance, it was unforgettable, I was in the front row of the center stage. He actually closed with Here comes the flood I think. Then I saw him again some decades later and he started with Here comes the flood, and said “let’s start where we left off”. Epic
When Gabriel hits it, he really hits it out. Timeless.
Dude, you need to explore some of the other tracks on this concert. Come Talk to Me, Blood of Eden, Secret World, Shaking the Tree - all stunningly performed.
Blood Of Eden is incredible on here ❤
This hole concert is a celebration of music, joy, fun and life. I ripped the audio of the DVD back then and listened to it all the time. I never experienced a more uplifting and positive concert, ever.
This is still THE best concert I have ever been to. The performances of everyone totally on point and at the time cutting edge effects. Fast forward to 2023 - and will he perform this on his live shows this year - beyond excited!!!!!!
I'm so impatient to see him live in Paris on May! :D I plan to find a jacket and a white shirt like he had in 1994, go to the barber and ask to have the same haircut and the same beard :p Then, i'll entertain the others people in the waiting queue in the arena, trying to imitate him! :D It will be fun! ^^
I was blown away by his concert, it moved me !
@@dympm9884 totally agree, his new songs were just mezmorising
He's just magical 😍 Would love to see him live!
It elevates the song, it's pure joy.
This is the best version, of his best song.
Great video Doug. If you want another example of Paula Cole's amazing voice listen to, from the same concert video, "Don't give Up". What a voice!
RIP Jeff Beck
One of the greatest concert moments captured. It literally makes me have such joyful tears when I watch it:. I’d give anything to have been there, but I’ll take the video.
The same goes for me Jamie. After seeing this on VHS for the first time back in 1994 I had this bittersweet feeling of bliss and loss at the same time. I had not been there! So I promised myself that I wouldn’t miss the next tour. And I didn’t. Took time, but in 2003 I saw him live. And in 2004 again. And once more in 2013. Absolutely no regrets!
Me too, I cry every time. It’s so moving.
just brilliant when you see a proper well rehearsed bit, cos they come out relaxed and just end up performing superbly and its more natural, they are not straining just enjoying themselves.
I saw Peter Gabriel on this tour and it was the best overall concert I ever went to and trust me I've seen my share of pop/rock icons. The songs, the arrangements and most of all such an incredible band, featuring Manu Katche, Tony Levin, etc. Paula's and Peter's voice are absolutely magical. I honestly find it difficult to listen to any other version of this song. You should definitely get the DVD or blu ray of this concert.
Doug wait until you hear/see 'Blood of Eden' and 'Don't Give Up' and 'Come Talk to Me'.
One of the best concert videos I’ve ever seen - watch the whole thing! Cheers!
This song brings me to tears. It's so beautiful.
This has been one of my favorite of his songs for almost four decades. This live version is wonderful. The entire concert album/video is some of the best live recording and performance I have ever seen.
There are songs that have changed my life as soon as I've heard them - "The Real Me", "Brain Damage", and "Eclipse" are examples. Gabriel has written several of them: "Solsbury Hill", "Biko", and "In Your Eyes". The man is brilliant. And this version is as brilliant as, or more brilliant than, the album cut.
yes mate
Thank you for playing this. There are very few musicians I would genuinely call the word ‘genius’. Peter is one of those people. I’d really recommend you check out Games Without Frontiers from his Athens concert & Signal To Noise from the Growing Up Live DVD. They’re spellbinding 👍👍👍
Perhaps my favorite song of all time!
Paula Cole always gives me goosebumps.. plus she is adorable too. Check out Shaking the Tree from the same concert.
One of the best concerts of the hundred I have seen. I owned this concert recording on VHS, DVD, CD, and now Blue Ray. Great Show!
Out on Vinyl too now
Perfect live performance
The best version of one of the best songs ever written. It never fails to give me goosebumps.
Italy is a special place for Peter Gabriel.. they love him so much
I think I've listened to this version more than 100 times and honestly I like it more than the original. Beautiful, amazing performance!
I had the pleasure of seeing this tour in the US. It was one of the best concerts I've ever seen, and I've seen Pink Floyd twice. No concussion mortars, no lasers, just dancing and singing and exceptional creativity on display. IIRC, at one end of the venue was the round stage, with a square one at the other end, and a runway between them. At one point the round stage was empty, and a British call box rises up out of the stage. Peter emerges from it, and slowly walks down the runway to the other end. He's trailing something behind him, which turns out to be a rubber band-like tether, which then drags him slowly back to the call box ~ backwards. Just a spectacularly creative night. Excellent choice for a reaction.
1994 Secret World, live from Italy. Yes, the DVD is WONDERFUL. I've watched it so many times, I've lost track. It is truly a religious experience, so enlivening and cathartic. One of my all-time favorite live concerts. Bellissimo!
Doug - Let me express my happiness in finding your channel. Your choice of songs/pieces is sublime. In Your Eyes, Inca Roads and Shine On, You Crazy Diamond? My god, man, you're being magnetized to, and uncovering the musicality behind, one masterpiece after another. I first saw your real time reaction to Inca Roads, which was thrilling. I was friends with Frank Zappa since I was 13 years old, jammed with him at 16, and saw the work behind the pieces of his you've illuminated. Hearing them again, through your ears, made me realize how unbelievably fortunate I was to get to know the guy and hear this music shortly after its inception. I'm also still friends with Peter, who I met when I was Lou Reed's guitarist on the Amnesty International tour in the 80s. We've stayed in touch and I've played his music a bunch. Big props to you for the beautifully curated music education. The fact that you grasp and follow the chordal/harmonic movement & time feel changes is endlessly entertaining, as Frank would say. Hope to meet you in real life one of these days, but thank you for this inspiring work you're doing. Your reactions bring me back to the moment I first heard this stuff. A priceless gift.
This has to be the most uplifting and one of the most amazing live performances I know. I have watched this recording so many times. Peter and the rest of his ensemble are just at the top of their game. It’s one big amazing celebration of life.
He has such a wonderful sense of drama. Always has. Magnificent piece. Magnificent performance.
once you get this DVD (a must) you will discover it is a grand spectacle of a concert on 2 linked stages. Manu Katché is an amazing drummer, so much rhythm and holding the beat without having to over hit the drums. This is one of the best concert videos ever!
I was fortunate to see this tour in Miami, FL three weeks before I gave birth to my son. At the show I saw, In Your Eyes was the first encore. The show closer was Biko, which, because of my actions, got me in a little trouble with security. Being 9 months pregnant definitely helped me out of what could have been a long night otherwise, but they took pity on me and allowed us to go home.
The show is still among my favorites I ever attended.
Doug .. absolutely go get this DVD. This was one of the most powerful live events I've ever been to (I saw the tour in L.A.). The show is anything but stripped down, but they do end that way. . From the opener to the end, it's a great performance of great tunes. Other stand-out tunes are Come Talk to Me (the opener), Steam, Digging in the Dirt, and Blood of Eden . seriously .. dig in!!
One of the things that strikes me about this performance is the universality of it evidenced in the mirroring of movement. The earliest human instinct is to mirror, and until our dying days it brings us joy to move in concert. That "choreography" as such brings such great depth to the lyrics. Thank you, Doug for breathing new breath into an old favorite.
The composer has it dead right. No special effects just artists performing and create euphoric transcendence
Yes, you definitely need to see the whole concert, and it is available on TH-cam. I have watched it in its entirety three times. Incredible!
Psyched you are so taken with this Doug. So magnificent. And he’s still doing it, unbelievably. Just epic.
you will love the DVD Doug its absolutely wonderful
it don't get any more uplifting than this....incredible..wonderful to see Paula Cole..such an amazing singer....her solo albums are freaking fantastic..
Gabriel is still one of the best performers I’ve ever seen and I’ve been lucky enough to catch him on PG4, So, Us and Up tours amongst others. He makes it feel like he’s singing to you in a 20,000 seat venue. So excited to have just booked a ticket to see him in London in June- can’t believe it’s 30 years since I saw this tour!
Another song from this concert, Secret World, is perhaps my favorite song EVER. You must watch and listen!!!
You absolutely must watch the entire Secret World concert. It is a wonderful journey which I watch at least a couple of times every year.
Doug, you are immediately likable. I want all the success you crave to come to fruition. 👍
Peter Gabriel is the man! Love him. Thanks for sharing!
I enjoy all styles of music, and I am always brought to tears listening to this version of this song. In my top 3 all time favourites songs ever!! What a feeling it must have been to see this live ?!?!
I was at this concert. Wonderful experience
This is my all time favorite DVD!!!! It's a must buy!
Absolutely NO rock/pop artist reaches the excellence and perfection of Peter Gabriel. He masters every single detail, from lyrics to melody, from harmony to instrumentation, from visuals to singing, from choosing musicians to making arrangements. He is a genius. Nothing and no one is comparable to what he does in his live performances. This tour is a masterpiece. And when we thought that was impossible to make something greater than this one, he delivered "Secret World" tour, that is even greater in all details. This era is gone...
So happy you've done this, so glad to see Secret World behind you. Gabriel has given so much to myself and all of us. Please do more of his solo work.... And get tickets for his upcoming shows!
Always moves me to tears. So great. The version from the Growing Up Live tour is also well worth a watch - the vocals from the amazing Sevara Nazarkhan in particular
I think that version eclipses this one. Sevara's voice and movement lift it even higher.
Wow great track and I loved your enjoyment Doug ❤
Music is best when shared! One race, the human race!☮
The Concert DVD is brilliant
Was fortunate to get see this concert in Vancouver. Was amazing!
Look for Sky Blue live, another fantastic Gabriel performance
I was able to see this concert three times, once in the seventh row. (Unbelibal Vibe) I have been to many shows of his spanning many years. He always (Always) ends his shows with Biko. I am talking about the ones I have seen, including Woodstock. If anyone here has seen him end a concert-more like a show, with any other song well let me know, and with what song? I almost met him, but I did share a moment. Five feet from him Great shows! Great man! His work with Amnesty International is unbelievable. Putting thousands of video cameras from his own account into people's hands to record australites throughout the world. By the way, I have one of your mugs, love it! Daily Doug
Peter has one of those voices that sounds as full and thick as if he was double tracked in the studio. You realize when seeing him live that his voice is just that good - all - the - time!
My second fave version of this song with Savara singing Paula's part. I love this and how free she is.
Secret World must be the best live performance ever recorded, of any artist, of any genre...
Hey Doug! Man...I am definitely with you and I agree with everything you said and then some about this tune, especially this particular live performance of it. Music truly is the Universal Language [of Love], and I thank you for sharing yours with us, your Beloved audience.
My personal favorite album from Peter happens to be the all-instrumental "Passion" which is the Soundtrack from the film, "The Last Temptation of Christ" starring Willem Dafoe as Jesus. I Love It! Thanks for all that you are and what you do, kind Sir. Peace & Love to All from Georgia (US)...
Get the DVD. The entire concert is like this. Probably my wife and my favorite concert to watch of all time!!!
I've long taken it as the love for and with the audience.
Fantastic and uplifting song. Thank you Doug for another classic reaction to my favourite artists. Your channel really makes me listen to my type of music with more clarity. Check out the version of In Your Eyes on the 2018 Back To Front Tour bluray at the 02 London some great audience reactions! PG plays the whole of 'So' in order. Wonderful
The violinist, L.Shankar is renowned for his work with jazz fusion legend John McLaughlin in the bands Shatki and One Truth Band. He also has a solo album produced by Frank Zappa.
he has several solo albums. "Song for Everyone" on ECM is really good. He created that double necked electric violin, if I remember correctly.
This was the first concert I ever went to - Peter's Secret World Live. I went in really liking Peter Gabriel and I left a lifelong diehard fan. I have a good friend to thank for asking me if I wanted the extra ticket.
I love watching this concert because it not only takes me back to the phenomenal performance I enjoyed and the memories around that time, but also because it's just so very good. There is also a live album for the concert that sounds amazing.
Thanks for reacting to it - I really enjoyed it!
My god. The luck of you!!!
my all time favourite. peter gabriel...... .........mike oldfield is also very underrated too.
I saw them on the So concert tour with Youssou. Such a great live song.
So glad you have checked out his lovely video. Its joyous vibe is infectious and almost spiritual. Taking the chant to a new level. Amazing live performances by all.
Changing keys so expertly and use of percussion shows Peter's roots in Genesis. Transitions! Minor to major. Phil's solo work also reflects all he learned with Genesis.
This all concert is just a must ❤❤
You really should check out the BluRay of this. It is a marvelous celebration. This is great but it's a culmination of the concert that it closed out. Manu Katche, on the opening track is simply amazing.
