Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Peter Gabriel's extraordinary mix of sound, visuals, and theatrics gets the widescreen digital treatment in this remixed and remastered edition of a 105-minute concert recorded in 1994 in Italy. But not without some controversy, it seems, as several viewers have protested that the new version contains some not-so-deft lip-syncing with poor visual quality. The complaints may be valid, but chances are most viewers won't notice; in any event, the performance by Gabriel and his international band (with violinist Shankar, drummer Manu Katche, and bassist Tony Levin, among others) is strong, featuring versions of well-known material like "Solsbury Hill," "Sledgehammer," "In Your Eyes," and the always-moving "Don't Give Up" (with then-backup singer Paula Cole capably handling the Kate Bush role). Bonus features include a delightful "time lapse" view of the concert setup and breakdown, a "making of" documentary, and a brief preview of Gabriel's 2002-03 "Growing Up" tour. --Sam Graham

5 out of 5 stars Just Great!!.......2007-06-02

you know this concert was loaned to me by a friend after a shoulder surgery to watch while I recovered. I waited and waited to watch it. Well I just wasn't that excited about Peter Gabriel in concert. one night the wife and I finally popped it in the VCR and proceeded to wear out 5 VCR copies of this fabulous show! I waited for quite a few years to finally see it go to DVD While still recovering I got to see Paula cole in Concert here locally and it too was a good show. This is right up there with "Pulse" Not in light wattage but in showmanship!!! It is simply great!! I have bought more of Peter's Concerts since and like them all!!
Our niece who was 7 at the time liked going to sleep every night to this concert the summer she stayed with us!!

4 out of 5 stars Fun Video.......2007-05-17

This one dates back a few, but it showcases a really cool stage in the round and a concert experience different than most concerts out there. "In Your Eyes" is great and Paula Cole joins in on stage. Cool dancing, great sound. Fun to watch.

5 out of 5 stars One of the best DVD's ever........2007-04-14

This is a great concert in Italy. My wife and I have played this concert so much we wore the dvd out. I am buying my second one.

If you even remotely like Peter Gabriel you won't be disappointed with this DVD. The songs Solsbury Hill and Paula Cole's solo in Don't Give Up is nothing sort of incrediable.

It was an up beat, fun concert...wish we had been there.

5 out of 5 stars Peter Gabriel's Secret World Live.......2007-03-25

Absolutely well produced, absolutely well done. As a longtime fan, I thoroughly enjoyed it, despite it's overall 'VH-1-ness' - all the 'hits' are represented. There are some genuinely poignant moments, here - and some genuinely (affectionately) cringe-worthy ones, as well (think, 'hand gestures' and 'hipthrusts', and you've got it) - but the joy of it comes through, especially in the title track. A great performance by all - I would expect nothing less from Mr. Gabriel and his merry band.

I mean, you can't beat that VOICE.

I would definitely recommend.

5 out of 5 stars seeing is believing.......2007-03-13

I did not look at the cover for the videotape closely enough to see Paula Cole's name until today. I probably heard her voice on the 2-CD set years ago without thinking about it, but when I saw her performing in the concert, she was really there. I have not seen her often enough to know it was her, but I should have guessed that she could have been a star. The dance routines that Peter Gabriel does with people in the band were a stitch. I don't think there is a better word than stitch for how together it was. The stage set-up and props were fantastic. `Steam' and `Shaking the Tree' had special effects that seemed to be what the songs were about.
