RevieweDVD! Peter Gabriel - Secret World Live
Peter Gabriel
Secret World Live
Eagle Vision
Peter Gabriel’s Secret
World Live is good, very good in
fact, and a better representation of Gabriel’s stage abilities than last years New
Blood - Live In London to be
honest, though you have to realize that this is Peter Gabriel nearly two
decades ago. Still, this is a release that people need to see, thanks to a
stupendous setlist including some of Gabriel’s massive hits like the quirky “Sledgehammer”
and the solemn “Solsbury Hill,” and that’s not even to mention tracks like “Don’t
Give Up” and “In Your Eyes.” And as for stage presence, Gabriel delivers in
spades, utilizing his stage like a playground, one complete with multi-level
staging filled with elevators, moving floors and trap doors, and even a huge
UFO which lowers from the ceiling. There’s a slate of extras as well, such as
extra tracks like “Red Rain” and “the Rhythm of the Heat,” as well as a photo
montage and exclusive interviews and behind the scenes footage that should come
to be expected with any tradition Eagle Vision release, but the main selling
point of Secret World Live is getting
to go back in time and reminisce about Gabriel’s sonic glory days.
Grade: B+
