Secret world live.

Secret World Live contains 16 tracks (15 on the CD version) from the Secret World tour of 1993. Recorded at the Palasport, Modena in northern Italy on 16 and 17 November 1993. Peter has always loved playing live in Italy and the choice of venue was deliberate; “The band runs on fuel provided by the audience, and in Italy it flows freely.”

The collection spans Peter’s solo career until that point; from debut single Solsbury Hill right up to Digging In The Dirt , Steam and Blood Of Eden from US , which was – at the time – his most recent studio album.

“The Secret World tour was focused on communication and relationships – the ‘phone was a perfect symbol. Robert Lepage had the idea of expanding on the telephone image using the iconic red telephone box, with a cable that extended from the square proscenium stage full length to the centre of the circular stage in the audience, for the song Come Talk to Me.”

Peter Gabriel, Secret World Live by Laurence Le Blanc

During this tour Peter’s band consisted of Manu Katché (drums), Tony Levin (bass, vocals), David Rhodes (guitars, vocals), Jean Claude Naimro – replacing Joy Askew who started the tour – (keyboards, vocals), Shankar (violin, vocals), Levon Minassian (doudouk) and Paula Cole (vocals). Peter on vocals and keyboards and special guests Papa Wemba and Molokai.

Peter worked with Robert Lepage to conceive and stage the show, which consisted of a traditional proscenium arch stage connected to a circular stage (in the centre of the audience) by a moving walkway. The traditional stage represented an urban, industrial and male world, whilst the circular stage was more rural, open and nourishing. The movement between the two was a key subtext to the overall show.

It was, however, a technical challenge, as Peter Walsh the front of house sound engineer (and co-producer of the live album) remembers in his interview  for this website, “It was a very large and complex setup as you can imagine. Two stages meant we needed two of almost everything. Two drum kits, two mirrored sets of vocal mics and a complicated cable run from one stage to the other connecting all the other instruments.”

The show features many memorable set pieces, including Peter’s emergence within the red telephone box for ‘Come Talk to Me’ to open the show, the use of the moving walkway for ‘Across the River’, the literal ‘Steam’ effects and the tree that appears for ‘Shaking The Tree.’

As Peter told UNCUT magazine in 2020, “There was a moment, entirely Robert’s idea, where it looked as if we climbed into these suitcases on the moving  walkway – we were actually disappearing into a trapdoor – and that was the end of the show. A lovely way to finish – the suitcase fitted with this sense of a journey that we’d designed the show around.”

At the centre of it all though, is a thoroughly committed and total performance by Peter himself – further consolidating his reputation as a ringmaster of dynamism and daring – as captured by the concert film , directed by François Girard, which is also available.

Originally released as a 15 track CD on 28 August 1994, the album was recently released on digital platforms with the addition of the track San Jacinto and was released for the fist time on vinyl in November 2020.

“More than the studio originals, these versions elaborate on the dramatic potential inherent in them – the heat and magnitude of rhythm, the human/animal ambiguity of an otherworldly cry” – Rolling Stone

Secret World Live

By Susan Richardson

Susan Richardson

It’s a rare moment when an artist takes his established, even iconic work and makes it still stronger, but Peter Gabriel ‘s live two-CD set Secret World Live is just such a moment. Recorded in Modena, Italy, during a January 1994 performance on his Secret World tour, the album and the concurrent video release bring songs threaded together by the images of earth and water into a cycle that explores relationships between men and women. The result is tantamount to a religious rite, merging grandeur with the intimacy of feeling, the public with the secret.

Gabriel draws most heavily from the songs on his most recent studio album, Us (1992), assuming the emotionally ambitious task of reaching the places found deep within intimate relationships. “Come Talk to Me,” a plea to bridge a widening gap of misunderstanding, establishes the urgent passion of Secret World. The ethereal introduction of “Steam” gives way to the song’s sinuous, powerful energy. Peter Gabriel’s veteran band — including bassist Tony Levin, drummer Manu Katche and guitarist David Rhodes — lays relentless grooves for “Shaking the Tree,” “Red Rain” and “Solsbury Hill,” the originals slowed and deepened into an emphatic swing that is exuberant as well as majestic. Yet bitter despair runs through “Blood of Eden”: “I can hear the distant thunder/Of a million unheard souls/Watch each one reach for creature comfort/For the filling of their holes.”

The prayerful “Washing of the Water” seeks to purge the taint of broken love: “In the washing of the water, will you take it all away/Bring me something to take this pain away.” “Digging in the Dirt” captures the in-your-face fury and the wounded vulnerability of an argument and suggests the eroticism of such passion as it bursts into the sexual fire of “Sledgehammer.” Transcending the heat of “Dirt” and “Sledgehammer,” Secret World arrives at sober grief, posing the wrenching, solitary question “In all the places we were hiding love/What was it we were thinking of?” and finds no answer but only the response: “With no guilt and no shame, no sorrow or blame/ Whatever it is, we are all the same.”

Nicki Minaj and Husband Ordered to Pay $500,000 For Alleged Backstage Assault in Germany

Candace owens is out at daily wire after months of railing against jewish people, kendrick lamar declares war — and five other takeaways from ‘we don’t trust you’, drake bell calls nickelodeon’s ‘quiet on set’ response ‘pretty empty’, editor’s picks, the 250 greatest guitarists of all time, the 500 greatest albums of all time, the 50 worst decisions in movie history, every awful thing trump has promised to do in a second term.

“Don’t Give Up” contrasts Gabriel’s male persona — bearing the unbearable weight of identity and success — with a feminine voice, which offers a reminder that help is present and offsets that consuming tension. And “In Your Eyes” is a jubilant paean that takes abandon to an epic level. In the wake of questions, pleas, anger and sexuality, the song affirms a love that is innocent but not naive, substantial but not heavy.

More than Gabriel’s Plays Live (1983), this album maintains a powerful continuity that loses neither pace nor momentum; more than the studio originals, these versions elaborate on the dramatic potential inherent in them — the heat and magnitude of rhythm, the human/animal ambiguity of an otherworldly cry. Secret World enters an inner realm that is knowable only through the range of emotion it gives rise to, joining ecstasy and agony into music that avoids being larger than life and instead is as large as life itself.

• Eileen from Aston, Pa Did you think you didn't have to choose it? I alone could win or lose it. Could it be salvation?
• Natan from Herzylia, Israel At Europe sessions of "Still Growing Up Tour" he says: "Tony and I, we had a hobbie. I bet you'll think of body building. (laughs) But no, we took close-up pictures of flowers with a high definition camera. And we discovered a new world of sensuality, that attracts the attention of the bee thats passing by. This sexy new world, brought me to this secret world". That's a nice definition of the song, in his own words.
• Peter from Huddersfield, England My favourite Uncle Pete song...incredible live, I do the spin with my daughter(16) whenever we listen/watch it.
• Grayson from Cleveland, Oh The Secret World tour is what turned me onto Peter Gabriel as well. excellent show.
• Todd from Denver, Co The live album/video was what turned me into a Peter Gabriel fan. My wife (before we met) attended the Denver concert of the "Secret World" tour and loved it. At a second-hand music store in '94 my future wife found the VHS of the concert and I loved it. I liked Genesis' early stuff as in "A Trick Of The Tail" and "Abacab," but wasn't familiar with the albums prior with Gabriel, but was of course familiar with Gabriel's "So" and "Digging In The Dirt" albums. We saw him when he toured in support of his "Up" album a year or so ago, which was entertaining. Unfortunately he wasn't feeling well and ended the show early.
• Travis from Somwhere, United States in live performances, Gabriel has dedicated this song to ?the spirit of Jimi Hendrix?

The album comes with a download card with a choice of digital download (Hi-Res 24bit or 16bit).
