Secret World Live (2CD)

An aural postcard of Peter Gabriel's 1993–1994 “Us World Tour”, SECRET
WORLD LIVE is demonstrative of this studio perfectionist's a­bility to
produce singular, textured works in any setting.

He has always surrounded himself with first-class players who shared his
vision of incorporating world music into the Western pop vocabulary
(guitarist David Rhodes, bassist Tony Levin and drummer Manu Katche
have been with Gabriel the better part of ten years). To expand the
music's breadth, for the “Us” tour he added noted jazz violinist Shankar
and vocalist Paula Cole to the band and restructured the songs to reflect
the more celebratory aspects of live performances.

This mix provides SECRET WORLD LIVE with its world-beat meets new age
jazz meets English art-soul sound.

Recorded live at the Palasport Nuovo, Modena, Italy on November 16–17,
1993.

“…this album maintains a powerful continuity that loses neither pace nor
momentum; more than studio originals, these versions elaborate on the
dramatic potential inherent in them…” Rolling Stone **** (Excellent)
