This performance (ending song of the concert) of 'In Your Eyes' is taken from Peter Gabriel's 'Secret World Live' concert film and features the late, great Papa Wemba. Female voice belongs to amazing Paula Cole. This 1993 live show was filmed across two nights (16 & 17 November) at the Palasport Nuovo in Modena, Italy. The Secret World Live tour itself was in support of Peter’s sixth solo album, US. And guess what? Tomorrow night I'll attend Peter Gabriel's concert in Copenhagen, Denmark. Lucky me! 🙂
Peter Gabriel did a lot of work towards popularizing "World Music", both by incorporating it into his own songs, and by featuring international artists on his tours. The studio version of this song features Youssou N'Dour, one of the most famous African musicians of all time. Gabriel also founded the WOMAD world music festival. I was lucky enough to see him in 2004 as part of the "Growing Up" tour, and he was accompanied by an artist from Uzbekistan, Sevara Nazarkhan. As well as being the opening act, she joined him for "In Your Eyes" and was his partner for the duet "Don't Give Up". Beautiful. Cheers, Britt. I love your positivity.
I’ve seen more than 30 reactions to this magical perfomance, and this reaction is up there among the very best. Love how you let yourself be immersed in the music, emotions and spirutual artistery! It’s in your eyes! ❤ The African language is wollof, spoken in Senegal. Home to Youssou N’Dour, who perfomed this song with Peter in the first tour after the So album release in 1986.
Paula Cole, the backing singer, is best known for singing "I Don't Want to Wait", which became the theme tune for Dawson's Creek. Her song "Feelin Love" is fantastic.
Paula replaced Sinead O'Connor in the Secret World tour and lifted things to new heights in my opinion. I still get chills when she hits her top notes.
The Secret World Live tour was indeed 'magical.' He was delving into world music at that time and was masterful at it, and Paula was amazing, as well. Every song in this performance is super 🔥
This is my all-time favorite love song. The idea of someone saying "I see the doorway of a thousand churches, the resolution of all my fruitless searches in your eyes" I mean-- 🤯🥺😍 Does it get better than that?! PS, the movie scene featuring this song spawned a million teenage boys to hold boom boxes. 😉 IYKYK
I'm 65 years old and only now starting to appreciate Peter Gabriel's creativity and musical inventiveness. I'll been watching this music video, his live concerts and listening to the "So" album over and over. It's always fresh and never gets old. Thanks for reacting to this BrittReacts.
hahahaha I'm 66 & also realizing what an incredible talent he is. I saw him live in 1983 with David Bowie and The Tubes, and did not appreciate what an incredible performance I was seeing. I was there for Bowie (Serious Moonlight Tour).
The female singer is Paula Cole who had two big hits in the 90s, "I Don't Want To Wait" (which became the Dawson's Creek theme) and "Where Have All The Cowboys Gone". She still performs and also is on the faculty at Berklee College of Music in Boston. Senegalese singer Youssou N'Dour is the one singing in his home dialect near the end. And Papa Wemba and his band are featured. The hourglass-shaped instrument is called a talking drum. Several years after its release "In Your Eyes" became a hit again when it was featured in one of the most iconic film scenes of the 1990s in the movie Say Anything.
It really has that freedom vibe. Peter was the frontman in Genesis from 1969 to 1975 and even then he started doing theatrical things on stage. He left the band in 1975 to do his own material.
You were thinking of Lionel Ritchie's song All Night Long. At the end it gets very upbeat and Jamaican. It might even be the same drum pattern as well. So good ear on ya.
Britt, I love watching your reactions. You are beautiful, intelligent, emotional and energetic. You actually get the lyrics of songs. This is one of my favorite videos. I’ve watched it maybe 100 times. Keep up the incredible work young lady. I’m an old lady now, lol, but have been a rock DJ since ‘80. Age is just a number. Our hearts and souls stay young through music. ☮️❤️🎧
Peter brought this to the WOMAD festival that came to my town and did a set at the end of the show. I got to check off Peter on my bucket list. WOMAD brought so many great acts that you would never get to see on your own. Too many to list. Just incredible, the whole festival!!
I have seen this concert, for the second time in this tour, the following day, in Southern France and it was as good as shown on this video (extracted from the "Secret World Live"). it was actually the very best concert of the many I have seen. There were 2 stages, one square and one round (masculinity and femininity). The scenography (by Robert Lepage and Peter Gabriel) was exceptional; a phone boot coming up from the ground, a treadmill on which Peter had loaded a giant suitcase containing the members of the band, a tree coming up from the ground and of course the dome,. The choreography is inspired by tribal dances of Western Africa. Papa Wemba and Molokai did the opening and came back for the first encore. PS. I had already seen a concert of Peter on the same tour 3-4 months earlier, in the Netherlands. The talented Joy Askew was on keyboards and backing vocals (so no Paula Cole and no Jean-Claude Naimro), and the supporting artist was Ayub Ogada.
The Secret World Tour was a spiritual gathering. Tony Levin as bassist and Manu Katche as your rhytmn section is immense. Amazing! Paula Cole, Papa Wemba all poured their soul's into this performance. It features Youssou N'Dour singing a part at the end of the song translated into his native Wolof. Gabriel's lyrics were inspired by an African tradition of ambiguity in song between romantic love and love of God.
I love the entire video of this concert. Still gives me goose bumps when Paula come in on this track. The way she holds that note and then goes up and off. Brilliant. Peter Gabriel always surrounds himself with master musicians. The music is sublime.
The third time Paula Cole performed in this show...one rehearsal and a tour stop in Germany. 4 days before she'd been sitting on her couch in San Francisco. God Touched this Night.
There once was a girl in my life. When she laughed or smiled, her eyes would light up, and that moment always put me in such a happy place. Every time i hear or play this song, it takes me back to those happy moments.
Britt… Peter Gabriel has always been pushing the limits of Experimental/Psychedelic Rock from his time with Genesis ( Live version of The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway), his band is comprised of many talented musicians from all over the globe, many from Africa as influenced in this song…You should really check out his song “Biko”, a moving tribute to South African Activist Steven Biko…
I knew you'd love this. If I ever don't feel right with the world, I watch this video, and just like you, I can't stop dancing in my chair, and the beat makes me tap on my desk with both hands, and in 10 minutes, the universe is beautiful and back in sync again. Love it!
I am fortunate enough to have attended every Peter Gabriel tour since the “security“ album tour, secret world was one of my favorites, the recent tour was amazing! Let’s face it. Every Peter Gabriel performance is amazing.
This song typifies Peters ability to blend many international influences. That piano riff, that reminded you of Lionel Ritchie "All Night Long", is commonly found in Afro-Cuban music. So there's a cross-pollination of influence there, Africa and the Caribbean. I can't recall which language they change to, but it is an African language. I want to say that it's the same language the guy with the really "cutting" voice was signing in, or at least from the same region. In fact that chant they were doing was the inspirational catalyst for this song, as i loosely translates to the connection that people feel when they see the light in the eyes of someone else.
Hey Brit, I was lucky enough to have witnessed this masterpiece of a show in London, Wembley and you’re right more than just a show more like an event, my absolute favourite from this show was when he performed SECRET WORLD and at the end all the band disappeared into a suitcase. The lady with the amazing voice is an artist in her own right her name is Paula Cole and best remembered for the theme song to Dawsons Creak a popular show in the 90s. Paula only toured with Peter for this year the role now is done by his own daughter Melanie.
Peter Gabriel has long been a very inventive musician and performer, he was a founding member of Genesis in 1967 leaving after their album The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway in 1975, moving Phil Collins from drums and backup vocals to lead vocals and drums. Genesis is another band well worth exploring. Peter has a plethora of live performances, nearly all being some of the best performances and music you will ever experience, the live videos for Growing Up Live, Secret World, the duet Peter Gabriel with Paula Cole HD Don't Give Up, Peter Gabriel - HD Signal to Noise from Growing Up Live (sottotitoli italiano)- a pure wall of music, and his exploration of classical/orchestral music such as his the video for his cover of the David Bowie song Heroes (Live in Verona 2010) about the Berlin Wall -a truly phenomenal track are just a few.
I love watching you react to this music. I saw Peter first when he came to Seattle in the 70s, and followed him ever since. He has 3 Lps that are considered "World Music" and much is neuvo African that you and some of your fans may like. Many people have failed to find it here in America because they don't know where to look. They are all listed under the name "Afrocelt Soundsystem". My favorite of the 3 is #3. React and spread the joy. I'm impressed with your ability to be one with music and demonstrate your feelings. Keep up the great work and hold on to that friendliness...
As you said, Peter Gabriel is an experience. Every member of his band are legends in theusic industry and have successfully careers of theur own, then they come together snd combine all of that on stage. When I heard he was touring again after all of these years I instantlt bought tickets and am counting the Days until he is in Dallas on Oct 19.
its about JOY. celebrating joy and love. it’s that simple, that pure. all those great thoughts and feelings you’re having? exactly why this tour is a legend. musicians from around the world, crafting and performing one of the most successful and beautiful fusions of western and African pop♥️ >> from same concert you must see Shaking the Tree you’ll love it equally.
Loved this song ever since it was first released - the original version is on Peter's album 'So' which is magnificent. It's grown over the years in live performances and this recording is wonderful. Enjoyed your reaction.
Paula Cole is the amazing female vocalist performing with Gabriel. She's a musician and vocalist he actually plucked from the Berkley School of Music to be part of his band. Paula had a successful solo career abd a big single with I Don't Want To Wat
Gabriel is pretty eclectic, and I think it's great. He's always trying new things, exploring different types of music and sounds, and helps expose his fans to new things. He's got a unique quality to is voice, too. Funny talking about the facade. A lot of older folks reach a point where they don't bother with pretense any more. Sometimes it's funny, but I think that's part of what wisdom is - not wasting time pretending to be someone you're not. That Lionel Ritchie song you're thinking of is "All Night Long".
The Secret World Tour travelled and performed in 1993 & 1994. I believe this video is from the concert at Modena, Italy in 1994. With Manu Katche on Drums, Jean Claude Naimro (in the Tux & Shorts), Papa Wemba (RIP - in the red hat), Malakai, Shankar (double electric violin), Tony Levin & David Rhodes (guitars), Paula Cole with the amazing voice, and others. The line up changed throughout the tour. This song was usually an encore along with his song Biko - You should listen to that too - Papa Wemba was Congolese so that was most likely the language he was singing in. Such an uplifting song: Love, I get so lost sometimes Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart When I want to run away, I drive off in my car But whichever way I go I come back to the place you are All my instincts, they return The grand façade, so soon will burn Without a noise, without my pride I reach out from the inside In your eyes The light, the heat (in your eyes) I am complete (in your eyes) I see the doorway (in your eyes) To a thousand churches (in your eyes) The resolution (in your eyes) Of all the fruitless searches (in your eyes) Oh, I see the light and the heat (in your eyes) Oh, I wanna be that complete (in your eyes) I wanna touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes Love, I don't like to see so much pain So much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away I get so tired working so hard for our survival I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive And all my instincts they return And the grand façade, so soon will burn Without a noise, without my pride I reach out from the inside In your eyes (your eyes, your eyes) In your eyes In your eyes The light, the heat (in your eyes) I am complete (in your eyes) I see the doorway To a thousand churches (in your eyes) The resolution (in your eyes) Of all the fruitless searches Oh, I see the light and the heat (in your eyes) Oh, I wanna be that complete (in your eyes) I wanna touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes In your eyes In your eyes In your eyes Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir
i spent some time in Toronto, in the summer of '82. went to every concert that was in town. Peter Gabriel was one of them, the 'shock the monkey' tour.
Britt, it's always an enjoyable experience to spend an enchanting few minutes sharing well loved music with you. Peter began his professional music path in 1965, this concert was part of his world tour in 1993/1994, All those decades later he is still producing new music and currently touring an, as yet unreleased, new album at the age of 73. Less energetic but no less charismatic, intelligent, searching, inclusive, inventive whilst remaining humble and often self-deprecating with dry humour. He has always known how to put on a spectacular show for the huge arenas, and mixed art, performance and music throughout his career.
A perfect reaction to a perfect performance. Peter Gabriel was heavily influenced by African music and promoted many African Musicians. I defy anyone not to start moving to the rhythm!!
The 1st Time I saw Peter on his own was at the Bottom Line in NYC, He came out with a totally shaved head, And had a Teddy Bear, Put it on the Piano, And Sang to All the people with Cancer, "Me and My Teddy Bear, We Got No Hair , But We Don"t Care".
Thanks for the memories. This was from the Secret World Tour , which I was fortunate to witness when he came to Los Angeles in 1992. This video was recorded in Italy. You loved it in video, just imagine see it live. He’s coming in October to Los Angeles again
I love this performance so much! Back in the DAY day, my gf at the time put this song on a mix tape she made for me, (the studio version) and I thought it was the most amazing song ever, and that she felt that way about me? Swoon and a half.
One of my favorite music videos of all time! This tour has some great videos. Try Shaking the Tree, either live from this tour, you get more Paula Cole, or the album version.
Oh my goodness, I had this concert on VHS when I was a teen. I must have watched it 100 times. I highly recommend the entire concert if you have the time some day.
Every song from this Secret World concert is performance/musical candy for your eyes and ears. The whole concert is available on YT as well as each individual song. Treat yourself and your viewers to more from this concert. Yes Lionel Richie's song "All Night Long" is the song you were thinking of.
There are SOOOOO many things to unpack in this video, right? Paula Cole, the unusual violin-like instrument, the world music influence, Papa Wemba....just beautiful together.
A very special song for me and my darling. This is a wonderful performance! Thanks for sharing your reaction and I'm glad you enjoyed it😂 She is on the other side of the country right now on business. But I think I will send the original version to her and hopefully bring a smile to her lovely face. There is nothing that compares to the way I feel in her eyes❤
The dome was set up at a smaller stage in the audience and was only used for this song, the encore of the show. What a treat that must have been in the room! It is one of the most amazing feel good musical performances ever. just a joyous celebration of musical diversity and talent.
Random fact - Paula Cole got married later to one of the musicians she met during this tour, Hassan Hakmoun from Morocco. You can hear them both in "This Gift", a single from his 2002 album.
Peter Gabriel has a studio called World Studio and he invites people from all nationalities and cultures Indian African whatever to play and record music and usually he takes them out on tour so they can get exposure to the masses, he's a brilliant guy once he left Genesis it just seems like everything opened up for him
saw this live in orlando in 1992 or 1993..he did something theatrical on every single song during the concert. had a square and circular stage in the center with a conveyer belt/track connecting them. magical concert, nothing i have seen has ever measured up to that experience.
'That instrument' is a double necked electric violin. Each neck is 5 string, rather than the normal 4. It takes a special player to master a thing like that - and 'Shankar' [ Lakshminarayana Shankar ] is one such.
The female vocalist is Paula Cole. She was fairly popular at the time of this concert. She faded from the limelight , not sure if she still makes music.
One of the best reactions I have seen to this amazing performance, everyone who has watched this, never stays still, and always leaves with a smile on their face. Great reaction keep up the great work. 👍🏴
Peter Gabriel is always a good show, he has a theatrical bent to all his performances... Even when he was part of Genesis. If you want to hear some of it go back and find Genesis album 'The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway'. He is really talented and creative. I am a big fan of your reactions, you are so animated and joyful. Those of us who grew up in the 60's and 70's were saturated with very talented bands and artists
I've loved this song since it was first released, but when I saw this live performance it was like a spiritual experience. BTW, the female vocalist is Paula Cole, who had several solo hits (ie. Where Have All The Cowboys Gone and I Don't Want To Wait), but this was just before she released her first album. She grew up a few miles from me in Rockport, MA and she has a degree in Vocal Performance from Berklee College of Music in Boston.
This is one of Peter Gabriel’s songs that get me in a good mood almost instantly. I recommend that you also watch the ‘87 version of it that is a part of the “Live from Athens” Concert. Instead of Paula Cole, Youssou N’Dour is singing with Peter Gabriel.
![ILLSLICK - KILLSHOT REMIX [FULL VERSION]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/RIK8RrqIAzE/mqdefault.jpg)
The African language used in the song is Wolof which is one of the native languages of Senegal and Gambia.
Lingala is sang by Papa Wemba the congolese
This performance (ending song of the concert) of 'In Your Eyes' is taken from Peter Gabriel's 'Secret World Live' concert film and features the late, great Papa Wemba.
Female voice belongs to amazing Paula Cole. This 1993 live show was filmed across two nights (16 & 17 November) at the Palasport Nuovo in Modena, Italy.
The Secret World Live tour itself was in support of Peter’s sixth solo album, US.
And guess what? Tomorrow night I'll attend Peter Gabriel's concert in Copenhagen, Denmark. Lucky me! 🙂
Enjoy!
yes, lucky you...i saw the secret live tour in orlando...best concert i've ever been too
Let us know how the CPH gig was! I couldn't make it. 😢
@@Fwhole I will. Hyped already. My third PG concert.
::gasp:: So lucky!!!
This is a perennial TH-cam reactor favourite, and rightly so. It speaks to a world we wish we inhabited rather than the one we find ourselves in.
VERY well said! Symbolic of what we COULD be as a people...
I second that...very well said.
It’s a love song about his wife. But it has a duel meaning. It was written that way on purpose. But the primary is about his wife.
Peter Gabriel did a lot of work towards popularizing "World Music", both by incorporating it into his own songs, and by featuring international artists on his tours. The studio version of this song features Youssou N'Dour, one of the most famous African musicians of all time. Gabriel also founded the WOMAD world music festival.
I was lucky enough to see him in 2004 as part of the "Growing Up" tour, and he was accompanied by an artist from Uzbekistan, Sevara Nazarkhan. As well as being the opening act, she joined him for "In Your Eyes" and was his partner for the duet "Don't Give Up". Beautiful.
Cheers, Britt. I love your positivity.
I’ve seen more than 30 reactions to this magical perfomance, and this reaction is up there among the very best. Love how you let yourself be immersed in the music, emotions and spirutual artistery! It’s in your eyes! ❤
The African language is wollof, spoken in Senegal. Home to Youssou N’Dour, who perfomed this song with Peter in the first tour after the So album release in 1986.
You knew she was going to love it.
Also Manu Katché's drums sound like Baaba Maal's talking drums
Paula Cole, the backing singer, is best known for singing "I Don't Want to Wait", which became the theme tune for Dawson's Creek. Her song "Feelin Love" is fantastic.
I liked Paula's "Where Have All The Cowboys Gone?" too.
Feelin Love is one of the raunchiest and most awesome songs!
@@calipidgious It really, really is.
Her first album, “Harbinger,” is ridiculously underrated. And Peter Gabriel shows up on her song “Hush, Hush, Hush.”
Paula replaced Sinead O'Connor in the Secret World tour and lifted things to new heights in my opinion. I still get chills when she hits her top notes.
The Secret World Live tour was indeed 'magical.' He was delving into world music at that time and was masterful at it, and Paula was amazing, as well. Every song in this performance is super 🔥
This is my all-time favorite love song. The idea of someone saying "I see the doorway of a thousand churches, the resolution of all my fruitless searches in your eyes" I mean-- 🤯🥺😍 Does it get better than that?!
PS, the movie scene featuring this song spawned a million teenage boys to hold boom boxes. 😉
IYKYK
What woman wouldn’t love to hear her man say that to her? It just melts the heart and soul. ❤
I'm 65 years old and only now starting to appreciate Peter Gabriel's creativity and musical inventiveness. I'll been watching this music video, his live concerts and listening to the "So" album over and over. It's always fresh and never gets old. Thanks for reacting to this BrittReacts.
hahahaha I'm 66 & also realizing what an incredible talent he is. I saw him live in 1983 with David Bowie and The Tubes, and did not appreciate what an incredible performance I was seeing. I was there for Bowie (Serious Moonlight Tour).
I wish we could put this video into a time capsule for space visitors so they think we might actually be a decent, loving society.

This might just be the best live performance ever given by an assemblage of human beings. It's that good. Magical.
Britt, I love watching your reactions. You are beautiful, intelligent, emotional and energetic. You actually get the lyrics of songs. This is one of my favorite videos. I’ve watched it maybe 100 times. Keep up the incredible work young lady. I’m an old lady now, lol, but have been a rock DJ since ‘80. Age is just a number. Our hearts and souls stay young through music. ☮️❤️🎧
That’s Paula Cole, who went on to release numerous albums. I got to see this tour in 93 and to this day it remains one of the best concerts I’ve seen.
Peter brought this to the WOMAD festival that came to my town and did a set at the end of the show. I got to check off Peter on my bucket list. WOMAD brought so many great acts that you would never get to see on your own. Too many to list. Just incredible, the whole festival!!

It would’ve been that much more amazing if Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was still alive.
I love the entire video of this concert. Still gives me goose bumps when Paula come in on this track. The way she holds that note and then goes up and off. Brilliant. Peter Gabriel always surrounds himself with master musicians. The music is sublime.

There once was a girl in my life. When she laughed or smiled, her eyes would light up, and that moment always put me in such a happy place. Every time i hear or play this song, it takes me back to those happy moments.
In Your Eyes was the centerpiece in Cameron Crowe’s 1989 classic Say Anything. What a fun time to be alive.
What a production!! The flow and the movement of all was magical. The choreography alone was brilliant.
Yes Britt,There is so much GOODNESS on this stage!😁❤
Britt… Peter Gabriel has always been pushing the limits of Experimental/Psychedelic Rock from his time with Genesis ( Live version of The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway), his band is comprised of many talented musicians from all over the globe, many from Africa as influenced in this song…You should really check out his song “Biko”, a moving tribute to South African Activist Steven Biko…

💖💖💖💖💖
I love that. 👏🏼
Peter Gabriel's shows were pretty spectacular. I Saw him 3 times in the 90s, including Woodstock 94.
I envy everyone hearing this for the first time. It’s hypnotic and a piece of brilliance we don’t deserve.
I am fortunate enough to have attended every Peter Gabriel tour since the “security“ album tour, secret world was one of my favorites, the recent tour was amazing! Let’s face it. Every Peter Gabriel performance is amazing.
The song Solsbury Hill when he's singing while riding a bike around stage is a great performance...
Yes, was thinking precisely about the Solsbury Hill performance where he's riding on the bike.
This song typifies Peters ability to blend many international influences. That piano riff, that reminded you of Lionel Ritchie "All Night Long", is commonly found in Afro-Cuban music. So there's a cross-pollination of influence there, Africa and the Caribbean.
I can't recall which language they change to, but it is an African language.

In fact that chant they were doing was the inspirational catalyst for this song, as i loosely translates to the connection that people feel when they see the light in the eyes of someone else.
This complete concert is worth watching. Just beautifully awesome!
This entire concert is absolutely amazing. Thanks for the reaction.
Pure Joy!
The girl hitting the high note at the beginning is Paula Cole, who has released several records of her own.
Hey Brit, I was lucky enough to have witnessed this masterpiece of a show in London, Wembley and you’re right more than just a show more like an event, my absolute favourite from this show was when he performed SECRET WORLD and at the end all the band disappeared into a suitcase.

It helps that, in Tony Levin & Manu Katche he put together one of the best rhythm sections you could possibly imagine.
As you said, Peter Gabriel is an experience. Every member of his band are legends in theusic industry and have successfully careers of theur own, then they come together snd combine all of that on stage.

The world needs more of this.
its about JOY.
celebrating joy and love.
it’s that simple, that pure.
all those great thoughts and feelings you’re having? exactly why this tour is a legend.
musicians from around the world, crafting and performing one of the most successful and beautiful fusions of western and African pop♥️
>> from same concert you must see Shaking the Tree you’ll love it equally.
Twenty years ago you would have your own radio show and it would be coast to coast. You're the best
Loved this song ever since it was first released - the original version is on Peter's album 'So' which is magnificent. It's grown over the years in live performances and this recording is wonderful. Enjoyed your reaction.
Paula Cole is the amazing female vocalist performing with Gabriel. She's a musician and vocalist he actually plucked from the Berkley School of Music to be part of his band. Paula had a successful solo career abd a big single with I Don't Want To Wat
Gabriel is pretty eclectic, and I think it's great. He's always trying new things, exploring different types of music and sounds, and helps expose his fans to new things. He's got a unique quality to is voice, too. Funny talking about the facade. A lot of older folks reach a point where they don't bother with pretense any more. Sometimes it's funny, but I think that's part of what wisdom is - not wasting time pretending to be someone you're not. That Lionel Ritchie song you're thinking of is "All Night Long".
One of my favorite recorded live performances EVER! Thanks for doing this one!
This song was such an anthem of the 80s. Peter Gabriel is an icon.
The Secret World Tour travelled and performed in 1993 & 1994. I believe this video is from the concert at Modena, Italy in 1994. With Manu Katche on Drums, Jean Claude Naimro (in the Tux & Shorts), Papa Wemba (RIP - in the red hat), Malakai, Shankar (double electric violin), Tony Levin & David Rhodes (guitars), Paula Cole with the amazing voice, and others. The line up changed throughout the tour. This song was usually an encore along with his song Biko - You should listen to that too - Papa Wemba was Congolese so that was most likely the language he was singing in. Such an uplifting song:
Love, I get so lost sometimes
Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
When I want to run away, I drive off in my car
But whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are
All my instincts, they return
The grand façade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
In your eyes
The light, the heat (in your eyes)
I am complete (in your eyes)
I see the doorway (in your eyes)
To a thousand churches (in your eyes)
The resolution (in your eyes)
Of all the fruitless searches (in your eyes)
Oh, I see the light and the heat (in your eyes)
Oh, I wanna be that complete (in your eyes)
I wanna touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes
Love, I don't like to see so much pain
So much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive
And all my instincts they return
And the grand façade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
In your eyes (your eyes, your eyes)
In your eyes
In your eyes
The light, the heat (in your eyes)
I am complete (in your eyes)
I see the doorway
To a thousand churches (in your eyes)
The resolution (in your eyes)
Of all the fruitless searches
Oh, I see the light and the heat (in your eyes)
Oh, I wanna be that complete (in your eyes)
I wanna touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir
Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir
Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir
Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir
Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir
i spent some time in Toronto, in the summer of '82. went to every concert that was in town. Peter Gabriel was one of them, the 'shock the monkey' tour.
Britt, it's always an enjoyable experience to spend an enchanting few minutes sharing well loved music with you. Peter began his professional music path in 1965, this concert was part of his world tour in 1993/1994, All those decades later he is still producing new music and currently touring an, as yet unreleased, new album at the age of 73. Less energetic but no less charismatic, intelligent, searching, inclusive, inventive whilst remaining humble and often self-deprecating with dry humour. He has always known how to put on a spectacular show for the huge arenas, and mixed art, performance and music throughout his career.
Such an incredible rendition of this song.
A perfect reaction to a perfect performance. Peter Gabriel was heavily influenced by African music and promoted many African Musicians. I defy anyone not to start moving to the rhythm!!
You can't stop moving & you can't stop smiling during the entire performance. My go-to song for a mood lifter!
The 1st Time I saw Peter on his own was at the Bottom Line in NYC, He came out with a totally shaved head, And had a Teddy Bear, Put it on the Piano, And Sang to All the people with Cancer, "Me and My Teddy Bear, We Got No Hair , But We Don"t Care".
One of the most beautiful performances….ever. I love this song in studio but this surpasses it.
The 80's was such a wonderful music evolution...
Never to be experienced again, it was a wonderful time to be young and fully immersed in the musical talent of this decade.
Thanks for the memories. This was from the Secret World Tour , which I was fortunate to witness when he came to Los Angeles in 1992. This video was recorded in Italy. You loved it in video, just imagine see it live. He’s coming in October to Los Angeles again
Such an epic concert!
"In your eyes, I see the doorway to a thousand churches; the resolution of all the fruitless searches."
That's heavy shit, right there.
"Shake the Tree' from the same concert is a quite wonderful performance! Take time time to enjoy the complete concert for yourself!!!
I love this performance so much! Back in the DAY day, my gf at the time put this song on a mix tape she made for me, (the studio version) and I thought it was the most amazing song ever, and that she felt that way about me? Swoon and a half.
That was the greatest reaction you were truly in the moment so honest .... Glad you are able to enjoy Peter Gabriel he can mesmerize...
This performance is just joy and love broadcasting to the universe.
One of my favorite music videos of all time! This tour has some great videos. Try Shaking the Tree, either live from this tour, you get more Paula Cole, or the album version.
Oh my goodness, I had this concert on VHS when I was a teen. I must have watched it 100 times. I highly recommend the entire concert if you have the time some day.
Great song, it was such a cool performance and yes I love the rain. It's awesome!
My favorite concert ever seen.
🔴🔴🟠🟠🟡🟡⚪️⚪️ .. stellar song - stellar voice - wonderful video - exciting band .. .. great one here Britt , thank you ! ⚪️⚪️🟡🟡🟠🟠🔴🔴
So much thanks for this. Such great joy and presence are ephemeral. Witness am I to one of the greatest performances of all time.
This is one of those few songs where the live performance expands and improves upon it the studio recording. True artists pure joy and magic.
When I'm feelin a little down I watch and listen to this. Always seems to give hope and cheer me up
Guurrrrl,you are in for a treat!Harmony and love in a sublime musical message!
Peter is a great artist
The bass voice and violinist is Lakshmi Shankar. He commissioned the building of a double-necked violin that he is playing here.
It's Paula Cole...she's a star in her own right.🎶💖🎶💖🎶💖
Every song from this Secret World concert is performance/musical candy for your eyes and ears. The whole concert is available on YT as well as each individual song. Treat yourself and your viewers to more from this concert. Yes Lionel Richie's song "All Night Long" is the song you were thinking of.
There are SOOOOO many things to unpack in this video, right? Paula Cole, the unusual violin-like instrument, the world music influence, Papa Wemba....just beautiful together.
A very special song for me and my darling. This is a wonderful performance! Thanks for sharing your reaction and I'm glad you enjoyed it😂
She is on the other side of the country right now on business. But I think I will send the original version to her and hopefully bring a smile to her lovely face. There is nothing that compares to the way I feel in her eyes❤
Talent this good is not of this world. It is a gift to us. Makes you glad to be a human being. What a genuine and intelligent reaction you had to it.
The dome was set up at a smaller stage in the audience and was only used for this song, the encore of the show. What a treat that must have been in the room! It is one of the most amazing feel good musical performances ever. just a joyous celebration of musical diversity and talent.
My favorite male artist...his live shows are always great!!!!
Random fact - Paula Cole got married later to one of the musicians she met during this tour, Hassan Hakmoun from Morocco. You can hear them both in "This Gift", a single from his 2002 album.
Peter Gabriel has a studio called World Studio and he invites people from all nationalities and cultures Indian African whatever to play and record music and usually he takes them out on tour so they can get exposure to the masses, he's a brilliant guy once he left Genesis it just seems like everything opened up for him
One of the most magical performances...
The drums in this one are exceptional, it worth a second listening just to pay attention.
Youssou N'Dour collaborated with Peter Gabriel writing the lyrics in the Senegalese Wolof language. They also wrote "Shaking the Tree" together.
saw this live in orlando in 1992 or 1993..he did something theatrical on every single song during the concert. had a square and circular stage in the center with a conveyer belt/track connecting them. magical concert, nothing i have seen has ever measured up to that experience.
Young lady, This is the music of my youth and I still love it.
'That instrument' is a double necked electric violin. Each neck is 5 string, rather than the normal 4.
It takes a special player to master a thing like that - and 'Shankar' [ Lakshminarayana Shankar ] is one such.
The female vocalist is Paula Cole. She was fairly popular at the time of this concert. She faded from the limelight , not sure if she still makes music.
This song is magic. I call it a joyous celebration. I wrote that before you called it a jubilee. Pretty much the same impression...
One of the best reactions I have seen to this amazing performance, everyone who has watched this, never stays still, and always leaves with a smile on their face. Great reaction keep up the great work. 👍🏴
You’ll probably witnessing some of the most talented musicians on the planet
Peter Gabriel is always a good show, he has a theatrical bent to all his performances... Even when he was part of Genesis. If you want to hear some of it go back and find Genesis album 'The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway'. He is really talented and creative. I am a big fan of your reactions, you are so animated and joyful. Those of us who grew up in the 60's and 70's were saturated with very talented bands and artists
Peter is touring now throughout the US and Europe for his new album. Never have I seen him live but will this fall.
I've loved this song since it was first released, but when I saw this live performance it was like a spiritual experience. BTW, the female vocalist is Paula Cole, who had several solo hits (ie. Where Have All The Cowboys Gone and I Don't Want To Wait), but this was just before she released her first album. She grew up a few miles from me in Rockport, MA and she has a degree in Vocal Performance from Berklee College of Music in Boston.
His album "So" was sooo good. Great reaction, Britt!
This is one of Peter Gabriel’s songs that get me in a good mood almost instantly. I recommend that you also watch the ‘87 version of it that is a part of the “Live from Athens” Concert. Instead of Paula Cole, Youssou N’Dour is singing with Peter Gabriel.
Beautiful reaction to this free spirited, flowing version of my favorite Peter Gabriel song.
Thanks, Britt❤
