all i can say is AMEN.btw, the sound quality is INCREDIBLE. i don't know if there are enough words in the english language to adequately describe my love for this CD. you really feel like you are right there, in the front row--dancing and singing an chanting along. take a journey to africa, england, and inside the mind and dreams of one of our century's most intriguing musicians and songwriters. gabriel's strengths as a collaborative artist really shine here, too: you can hear paula cole's heavenly soprano soaring in the background of many songs, as well as manu kacthe's propulsive rhythms and shankar's lilting violin.one review described this cd set as not so much a collection of songs but a journey towards "spiritual healing". ENJOY THIS MASTERPIECE OF LOVE, EMOTIONAL EXPLORATION, EXPRESSION, AND JOY. you can't go wrong with this :)
I recommend this disc set to anyone. I feel that Peter's move to go solo was the best thing for not only himself but for the music lovers out there that like good, well written songs that also have a captivating sound.
Peter Gabriel's songs are better when heard live. I've seen several videos related to this tour and have been really impressed.
Great live album. Although I really injoyed the show, I was upset because Peter had already left the band.
I have not actually seen Peter live in person. I saw Genesis in 1978 in New Orleans.
He continues to surround himself with some of the best musicians in the world which make his songs shine as some of the best in rock-n-roll or new world music. The music is great.
I have a top-of-the line NHT audio system (speakers, pre-amp, amp, crossover and secondary amp for sub-woofer) and this album is better than most other live concerts that I have heard, The recordings and mixes are simply spectacular. Kudos to David Taraskevics for superb recordings. Even if you are not a Peter Gabriel fan, this is a treasure. This is an outstanding double album from beginning to end.I have watched the DVD and think the audio tracks are better mixed on this version.
The live versions of Come Talk To Me, and Blood of Eden are more stirring and passionate than on the studio albums. If you are a fan and don't have this album, then buy it now. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Check out her albums such as This Fire, Harbringer, and Amen.
There are so many great songs and performances that it is extremely difficult to anoit one or two as best. You are a recording engineer par excellence. The band is sensational to say the least. Tony Levin on bass is superb as is Jean Claude Naimro on keyboards, David Rhodes on guitar and Shankar on violin. If you are not a Peter Gabriel fan then you will be after listening to this double album.
Other backup singers include Papa Wemba, Reddy Mela amissi and Styno Mubi Matadi. This is World music at it's best. Besides classics like Come Talk To Me and Blood of Eden, other stirring tracks are Red Rain, Diggin In the Dirt, Secret World, In Your Eyes and Shaking the Tree. However, this is not to belittle the other tracks. In case you do not know, these recordings are from the large venue shows in the United States and Europe. This album from the 1993 World Tour is the standard by which other live albums must be compared. However, the DVD is enjoyable to watch for the visuals and performances.
Manu Katche who has played with Sting and Eric Clapton, replaces Jerry Marotta on drums and is awesome. Paula Cole sings primary backup vocals during the European tour and she is wonderful. But, I recommend this version if money is a factor.
A great version of Peter Gabriel's concerts. The DVD is even better, adding a visual treat to some great and insightful music. Be sure to catch this version of "Shaking the Tree".
Extraordinario album.Tal vez se oiga un ligero ruido en la grabacion (es de 1993). pero no por eso deja de ser uno de los más extraordinarios conciertos que he escuchado.
