Yeah, I completely agree. But it's almost like they're two different songs, in a way. I love them both, but this performance takes the original song and infuses it with a level of spiritual joy that turns it into something new and wonderful.
This exactly the same for me. My brother got tickets to a surprise concert in nyc some 25 years ago and I was simply blown away by the performance. An amazing artist.
No doubt about it. I first saw this performance at a friends house in 1994. He had the concert on LASER DISC and it was hooked up to a pretty powerful stereo system! It was jaw dropping! I couldn't shake what I saw. I bought, the cassette, the CD and the DVD. Secret World LIVE is a true masterpiece. Peter Gabriel performed In Your Eyes in South Africa for Nelson Mandela. That is on TH-cam and it is phenomenal. It is performed with a South African Choir. He also has an orchestral performance on TH-cam that is worth seeing.
The lady with the incredible lungs is Paula Cole. The drummer on a conventional drum kit is Manu Kache, whose timing is incredible and very impressive to me. Wonderful pick, glad you did this celebration of life and unity! 😁🤩😇
Gabriel is an experience, an event!! Deep-voices Tony Levin was on bass, the beautiful Paula Cole hitting the high notes…Peter has a great World music sound here….should be celebrated. A true artist.
He is my favorite male performer...he is truly amazing live...every time I've seen him....just love his music....any song from that live concert is awesome!!! That's Paula Cole btw...shes great
Like millions of others, I close my eyes and see a young John Cusack, holding his boombox over his head, playing this song. Wonderful live performance.
Yer on to something special here my friend...A definite crow pleaser for sure...Peter's musical execution is second to none...Ty for sharing brother Harri
Poppa Wemba's vibrato is just insane - that's darn near frequency modulation, like birds and synthesizers do! Didn't realize the human voice could do that!
So glad to see this here. I was almost ready to scold you for not doing a reaction to him. This is a fantastic performance. Paula Cole is amazing in this performance. If you like the Afro-centric vibes of this song, you should give Lady Smith Black Mombasa a listen.
When a song becomes a celebration! It is my fave Pete Gabriel song and for me it is a very spiritual song. I love that guy and Genesis was never the same when he left. I really love the line "In your eyes I see the doorway to a thousand churches, the resolution of all the fruitless searches".
The lyrics were inspired by an African tradition of ambiguity in song between romantic love and love of God. Beautiful rendition. Peter Gabriel has such a unique voice you always know its him. Loved this live version. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and JK Clark Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Peter is still active, with a new record supposedly coming out in 2022 and a tour in 2023. He last toured in 2016 with Sting and he still puts on a phenomenal show, and his voice is as good as ever.
I remember trying trying to get tickets for my father´s birthday when I was 16 but it was too expensive... Told my mum about my idea and she bought tickets for all of us (me and my brother too). Amazing experience, Youssou came out to sing with him (like the original song although I love Papa Wemba but it was in Paris so easier to get Youssou), I will never forget that day!
I believe the lady singing is Paula Cole, she’s got some pipes! I’ve always loved the way Peter Gabriel incorporates different cultural music and sounds in his songs. This is one of my favorites. Solsbury Hill is another good one
goosebumps. Every. Single. Time. I so fervently wish for any life on other planets to see this video first so that they think we’re worthy of being visited and treated with respect. This is seven or eight minutes of humans being the best they can be.
This is my favorite video to see reactors react to, and I've just been waiting for it to come across your requests (I knew it eventually would!). Makes me so happy to see the joy this performance spreads :)
May I say that having seen most of Peter Gabriel 's tours this one in particular was a magical experience. The man is a Genius and his performances out of this world.
That beautiful angel is Paula Cole… and in this same concert she did “Don’t Give Up” with Peter. I love Kate Bush, but damned if I don’t think this one was better.
I have been lucky to have caught all but one of PG's solo tours. Saw him live before I knew his solo work (don't ask) and have been a loyal fan ever since.
I was blessed to experience the Secret World Tour in September 1993 at Arco Arena in Sacramento CA. Greatest concert I’ve ever experienced. Music. Visuals. Stage presence. Peter Gabriel & Band were in highest form.
"In Your Eyes" was the very last song performed at Woodstock 94. I had been holding the roof system together in the Stage Left Tower on the Main( North) Stage 105 ft in the air since Saturday afternoon. At about 2:am Monday Morning Peter Gabriel was ready to take the stage. I came down to the deck, hoping to lay down and relax for the last act. Our Union Rep Dan. DiTolla comes up to me and says "Robin! You can run a follow spot, Right?" "Yes...." I said tentatively, expecting him to send me up to the lighting truss over the stage. "The guy running a SuperTrooper just passed out on top of the mix Tower, I need you to take his place" So off I went, through the Mud People and the 2ft of mud in front of the stage. A big Security guard gets in front of me and starts clearing my way. A cheer starts to go up, as I approach the 50ft mix Tower, and as I start to climb 200,000plus people start cheering! I had to fight back the years, I was so very exhausted, having been onsite for 4 weeks without a day off, and been up since Friday morning working the festival. I expected a simple lighting gig but the Lighting Designer had choreographed all of the hand operated spotlights into an elaborate light show, so I had to listen to all the cues for 20 different lights and pick out my own. It took my last bit of energy to get through this song at the end!
Harri, mate! You allowed me to break the time limit rule once again. Thanks much. (I'll ask the boss to consider overtime pay for you, hehheh.) So glad you enjoyed the journey, Harri. Was that Papa Wemba alongside the female singer, Paula Cole?
For me, Gabriel's performance of Biko as his final number at the 1986 Amnesty International concert at Giant's Stadium is his most powerful live performance I've seen. But, that whole day sitting and watching the musicians perform via MTV was emotionally gripping.
9:47…you nailed it!! When I watch fantastic concerts like this, I’m left with a feeling that I missed something special!! “Envious”!!! That is best word to describe the feeling.
Peter's concerts are legendary. And a little aside: that bass player, Tony Levin, was once voted the most underrated of them all (with Led Zep's John Paul Jones at #2).
I have never seen this presentation, it makes all the group equal, so the singer is not the most important. It is great, and it is fun to see your face Harri! Thank you!
Tony Levin best bassist. Played with Fripp, Adrian Belew, and Bill Bruford in King Crimson. Probably the best concert musically I've seen. Virtuoso talent each.
Agreed , it's just next level , manu is killing it on the drums 🥁 Tony's bass ,peters voice .well you already know ..world class music .absolutely joyefull
Tony doesn’t always get noticed, but he should. He’s not as flashy as some, but he is always grooving like his life depends on it and his tone is immaculate.
I've seen Gabriel live three times over the years: 1983, 1993 and 2007. In 1993 he was surrounded by the best band I have ever seen brought together by a solo artist. Tony Levin, Manu Katché, David Rhodes, Jean-Claude Naimro and ofcourse Paula Cole. What a voice!
The background singer is Paula Cole who had her own solo career later after touring with Peter Gabriel. Check out Where Have All The Cowboys Gone and I Don't Want To Wait probably her two biggest hits. Peace, Love, Courage from David in Detroit.
Saw this live in 1986. The Drums here done by the same African group that opened for him along with dancers. They all came out during this song. Amazing show. still brings chills. Their name escapes me. I had their CD but lost it to a house fire years ago.
This tour was all giant stadiums. Except in Rochester NY. He played at the war memorial. It only holds8000 people! He opens every tour there. Giving thanks to a great music loving town. Genesis sold out their first show there❣️☘️🚬🥂
We are all but children in the Garden of Paradise who just want to sing and dance together. ❤❤❤
Beautiful reaction, Harri!
One of the best live shows....... 4 me.
The studio version is great…but this live version takes it to a level where everyone wants be be
Yeah, I completely agree. But it's almost like they're two different songs, in a way. I love them both, but this performance takes the original song and infuses it with a level of spiritual joy that turns it into something new and wonderful.
ABSOLUMENT. C'est le seul et l'unique que j'ai trouvé fantastique en studio et encore BIEN SUPÉRIEUR EN LIVE. 👌✨✨✨✨✨✨👌👌👌👌👌🙏👌🙏👌✨✨✨✨🌺.
God, I love Peter Gabriel. And this entire concert, Secret World Live, is just incredible. Every song from beginning to end.
"Secret World Live" {1:42:28} th-cam.com/video/azas-1zInJ8/w-d-xo.html
Yes, should sit back and watch the whole concert. Great way to spend a couple hours. The music, the lighting, the showmanship is all top notch.
Me too‼ I also listen while I mow grass💚🎶🎸🎹🥁🎤
Never got into him until a friend took me to see him live. Then it was like I had a spiritual awakening. It was that moving of a concert for me.
This one was a wakeup call for me. I felt it deep inside. Who am I? Why am I here? Made me look in the mirror and think.
What a cool story. In such a short comment. Wish I could do that!
This exactly the same for me. My brother got tickets to a surprise concert in nyc some 25 years ago and I was simply blown away by the performance. An amazing artist.
Immediate dopamine release ❤
This is my favorite performance of this song; thanks, Harri!
This concert is one of the top 5 live recordings of all time IMO, every track is fire
Agreed💯‼
No doubt about it. I first saw this performance at a friends house in 1994. He had the concert on LASER DISC and it was hooked up to a pretty powerful stereo system! It was jaw dropping!

Totally dig your reactions. Very enjoyable. Keep up the great vids
What a song and what a reaction! Thank you for making this video.
This whole show is great! It was put out as a CD ☺️
The lady with the incredible lungs is Paula Cole. The drummer on a conventional drum kit is Manu Kache, whose timing is incredible and very impressive to me. Wonderful pick, glad you did this celebration of life and unity! 😁🤩😇
That’s not manu katche? Pretty sure it is.
@@loadedorygun that’s confusing you said it’s not him but sure it is 😂😂😂😂
@@chezzachezza7325 I believe they corrected their entry.
@@loadedorygunSURE.
I never get tired of watching this performance. It fills me with joy.
Lovely reaction….human reaction….back when the world wasn’t totally fucked…I appreciate you, the respect etc..
You feel like a good man
Sad that the UK has yet to honor him for his music, his humanitarian works and contributions to all ... He is very very unique💙🧡
Absolument d'accord avec vous, c'est une honte.
Gabriel is an experience, an event!! Deep-voices Tony Levin was on bass, the beautiful Paula Cole hitting the high notes…Peter has a great World music sound here….should be celebrated. A true artist.
He is my favorite male performer...he is truly amazing live...every time I've seen him....just love his music....any song from that live concert is awesome!!! That's Paula Cole btw...shes great
Might just be the best live performance of any song ever. That good. Amazing.
Like millions of others, I close my eyes and see a young John Cusack, holding his boombox over his head, playing this song. Wonderful live performance.
If this stunning performance doesn't get you in the feels then my man you ain't got the feels
If you can't tap your foot to that ..
Well ,something gone wrong Along the way ...
This was MAGIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yer on to something special here my friend...A definite crow pleaser for sure...Peter's musical execution is second to none...Ty for sharing brother Harri
I've always loved this song. This performance is transcendent. "Joyous" is a good word also.
Thanks, Harri!

Oh YEAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you believe this mix?! He always has top notch live shows
Man! This is BADASS! 👍🤘
I really love this version the best!! The soul, the emotion and the energy put into every note on stage by everyone! pure harmony😊
Love Peter Gabriel!
The girl is Paula Cole!!
Peter is still active, with a new record supposedly coming out in 2022 and a tour in 2023. He last toured in 2016 with Sting and he still puts on a phenomenal show, and his voice is as good as ever.
Peter Gabriel is a musical genius
This is a great song and better live performance... great video sir...
This is from the 1994 concert movie Secret World. Several great cuts from this show. Title track will blow your mind.
Yes! The version of Secret World from this tour is the best! An example of the live exceeding the studio for sure.
@@hrblsh the whole production of this song in particular illustrates peter Gabriel's genius.
Paula Cole is a beautiful vocalist, in her own right. A terrific pairing with Peter Gabriel, especially this song.
My all time favorite video. Great song & performance!
I remember trying trying to get tickets for my father´s birthday when I was 16 but it was too expensive... Told my mum about my idea and she bought tickets for all of us (me and my brother too). Amazing experience, Youssou came out to sing with him (like the original song although I love Papa Wemba but it was in Paris so easier to get Youssou), I will never forget that day!
They raised the energy on the planet. For sure
A sing like this helps us to stay alive and beautiful in our soul .❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
RED RAIN PETER GABRIEL
Absolutely joyful, loving joyous, full expanding expression of love
I believe the lady singing is Paula Cole, she’s got some pipes! I’ve always loved the way Peter Gabriel incorporates different cultural music and sounds in his songs. This is one of my favorites. Solsbury Hill is another good one
One of the greatest music videos ever!!!🎵🎼🎶🎤🎙🥁🎸🤘🤘🤘🤘

Peter Gabriel Is such a Unique Talent and Brilliant Performer . Love Your Reaction Video as always .God Bless You man .
This is my favorite video to see reactors react to, and I've just been waiting for it to come across your requests (I knew it eventually would!). Makes me so happy to see the joy this performance spreads :)
Magnificent. Joyful. Powerful.
'Biko' is another masterpiece by Peter Gabriel well worth the time.
Peter is one of my favorite artist. He is a genius.
What a great show this was. Amazing.

THANKS !!!! Love PETER as much as the divine precious TARJA does 💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘
You need to watch the entire Secret World concert by Peter Gabriel…….it’s mind blowing and such a unique and amazing sound and visual experience.
Beautiful Song....Very Awesome
I have been lucky to have caught all but one of PG's solo tours. Saw him live before I knew his solo work (don't ask) and have been a loyal fan ever since.
I loved that electric violin! I love anything Peter Gabriel does. RIP Papa Wemba.
I was blessed to experience the Secret World Tour in September 1993 at Arco Arena in Sacramento CA. Greatest concert I’ve ever experienced. Music. Visuals. Stage presence. Peter Gabriel & Band were in highest form.
This felt so different and unique when it came out. A breath of fresh air.
Pure Genius!
My sister got to see him.
I didn't.☹️
And Most Amazing of All.........NOBODY WAS OUT OF BREATH AT THE END.

Wow. What an experience.
Actually Biko was performed after In Your Eyes
Incredible and deeply moving performance.
Music brings people together. Peter Gabriel is a musical genius.
One of my top 5 live performances ever!! Love it!! ❤️❤️
This is beautiful. I have a whole new level of respect for Peter Gabriel. Thanks J.K. Clare and Harri. 🌺✌️
Harri, mate! You allowed me to break the time limit rule once again. Thanks much. (I'll ask the boss to consider overtime pay for you, hehheh.)
So glad you enjoyed the journey, Harri. Was that Papa Wemba alongside the female singer, Paula Cole?
its just lovely!
...I've seen Peter 6 times now, and that was the best tour.
Pure perfection.
For me, Gabriel's performance of Biko as his final number at the 1986 Amnesty International concert at Giant's Stadium is his most powerful live performance I've seen. But, that whole day sitting and watching the musicians perform via MTV was emotionally gripping.
Yeah, I came here to say that. The version on Plays Live is great, too.
I was there and his performance was incredible, I have seen him several times live and he always makes his performance’s unique and enjoyable..
Which performance,@@ronjm945? 1986 Amnesty International?
saw him do it in Philly at jfk a few days before or after you. Same.
@@IllumeEltanin yes A Conspiracy of Hope at Giants Stadium.
One of my favorite live performances of all time!

Yes! King Crimson. Period.
@@mikeloomis687 Check out Fripp and Gabriel working together on "Exposure", that version of "When The Flood Comes" is heartbreaking.
Agreed , it's just next level , manu is killing it on the drums 🥁 Tony's bass ,peters voice .well you already know ..world class music .absolutely joyefull
Tony doesn’t always get noticed, but he should. He’s not as flashy as some, but he is always grooving like his life depends on it and his tone is immaculate.
No division here, just ❤️
My absolute favorite song of all time linked to my favorite movie: Say Anything
The actress Rosanna Arquette was the inspiration for the lyrics.. Paul Cole is singing with him, she is outstanding!!!
Rosanna may be the only woman to inspire two great songs, the other being Rosanna by Toto.
@@davidboivin7996 100%.. a Genius I heard once say " A Muse's a Thread that has no end" ;)
May I recommend you view the entire concert on a big screen. It a powerful journey!
I've seen Gabriel live three times over the years: 1983, 1993 and 2007.
In 1993 he was surrounded by the best band I have ever seen brought together by a solo artist. Tony Levin, Manu Katché, David Rhodes, Jean-Claude Naimro and ofcourse Paula Cole. What a voice!
LUKY, you....!
I wish I could've seen him live. This is incredible. Paula Cole is incredible too.
Love PG. I’ve been to a few of these shows on this tour.
I’m team Peter when it comes to Genesis.
Gives me Goosebumps every time. Amazing. You can't help to smile and feel joyful, and even a little hope for the World
I saw this Secret World concert 3rd row, so fantastic. I'm 74 now and I still get chills watching the videos of it.
Sooo very blessed!
Absolutely adore this performance
GREAT SHOW!!!
Saw this tour when he came to Philly. Love Gabriel.
Absolutely magnificent performance.
The maestro untouchable
Peter Gabriel who such a cool dude he moved to South Africa and started making his own music after he left his old band. He has a Lotta good music
Paula Cole had a big hit with "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?" in 1997. Great vocals. This is my favorite of Peter Gabriel's hits. Love this!
She would be a good one to check out. I seem to remember she had s few singles. Or maybe I just played the cd a lot.
The background singer is Paula Cole who had her own solo career later after touring with Peter Gabriel. Check out Where Have All The Cowboys Gone and I Don't Want To Wait probably her two biggest hits. Peace, Love, Courage from David in Detroit.
I'm tired just watching it! So much energy.
Saw this live in 1986. The Drums here done by the same African group that opened for him along with dancers. They all came out during this song. Amazing show. still brings chills. Their name escapes me. I had their CD but lost it to a house fire years ago.
