Peter Gabriel: Secret World - Live 1993 (2CD)

Secret World Live contains 16 tracks (15 on the CD version) from the 1993 Secret World Tour. Recorded at Palasport, Modena in northern Italy on November 16 and 17, 1993. Peter has always loved playing live in Italy, and the choice of venue was a conscious decision: "The band runs on the fuel that the audience provides, and in Italy it flows freely." The collection spans Peter's solo career up to this point, from debut single Solsbury Hill to Digging In The Dirt, Steam and Blood Of Eden from the U.S., the last studio album at the time. "The Secret World Tour was about communication and relationships - the phone was a perfect symbol. Robert Lepage had the idea to expand the image of the telephone by using the iconic red phone booth for the song Come Talk to Me with a wire that extended from the full length of the square proscenium stage to the center of the round stage in the audience." During this tour, Peter's band consisted of Manu Katché (drums), Tony Levin (bass, vocals), David Rhodes (guitars, vocals), Jean Claude Naimro - who replaced 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.
