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.”

Drake Refutes Kendrick Lamar’s Claims of His Secret Daughter, Being a Pedophile in ‘The Heart Part 6’

‘politico’ misses mark in story on who’s funding pro-palestine protests against biden, angry trump calls biden admin the 'gestapo,' predicts 'world war three and everything else', 'i love you, paul': family believes their mom is 'adrienne from brooklyn' from viral beatles clip, editor’s picks, every awful thing trump has promised to do in a second term, the 250 greatest guitarists of all time, the 500 greatest albums of all time, the 50 worst decisions in movie history.

“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.

Revisiting His Weird and Wonderful Performance: ‘Peter Gabriel: Secret World Live’

secret world tour band

Reaching the pinnacle of his popularity in the ’80s and early ’90s, Peter Gabriel was in the beginning, in the middle, and ever shall be, an odd fellow. He has also, all along, been a consummate entertainer whose early theatrics with Genesis groomed him perfectly to become one of the grand and shining stars of the video age. Through videos for pieces such as the sexually charged “Sledgehammer” and the ballad of the working man and, indeed, mankind itself, “Don’t Give Up”, Gabriel tore up the envelope, ate it, and demanded that, in the future, he be served one of better quality.

Both “Sledgehammer” and “Don’t Give Up” were culled from his 1986 album So (which receives the deluxe reissue treatment this autumn), but it was his 1992 outing Us that cemented his place in the video kingdom with “Digging In the Dirt” and “Steam”. It was in the aftermath of that latter album that the former public school student concentrated on making an unforgettable stage show that would touch on many of the––Jungian––themes found across his work but especially on Us .

Released in September 1994 this film––and accompanying album––were welcome arrivals from a man who probably did visuals––and live performances––better than most of his contemporaries––including U2, a band known for its highly stylized promo films and stadium tours. This wasn’t Gabriel’s only live video from those peak years––1988’s POV titillates the memory cells and brings to mind many a happy evening spent warming the ocular vessels ‘round the television––but it’s a damned fine one that retains its own musical and visual character and, as they say, holds up rather well.

Shot over two November evenings in 1993 during a Modena, Italy stopover, the footage looks remarkably fresh and vibrant on the current Blu-ray edition, radiating aliveness from the stage––and from Gabriel’s facial hair. True to our expectations, the stage set doesn’t disappoint––it, too, is rife with props and such that would make Dr. Jung proud. There’s an awful lot of dancing––more than you’d probably expect from most prog rock icons––but none of it ever strays so far from the core that Gabriel loses his sense of popzeit .

This isn’t a comprehensive best-of package. There’s no “Biko”, “Shock the Monkey”, or “Intruder”. This is Gabriel the hit maker making hits for one and all in a performance that is as delightfully off-kilter (read: filled with PG being his awesomely weird self) as his best work with Genesis. Curiously, the accompanying album has not yet been reissued, which is a shame because it’s as good a snapshot of the man during the era as the albums–– So and Us ––which it leans so heavily upon.

Backed by drummer Manu Katché, bassist Tony Levin, and Paula Cole, Gabriel surprises us with new but still comprehensible arrangements of favorites and a surprise or two––the (relative) rarity “Across The River” and a nod to the Birdy soundtrack via the excellent “Slow Marimbas”. Naturally, it’s the hits that come to the fore––he opens with “Come Talk To Me” (replete with a sentient—and possessive––callbox), then travels through “Steam”, eventually landing in the “Blood of Eden”, climbing “Solsbury Hill” and “Digging in the Dirt” while suggesting that, when faced with adversity, the best mantra is “Don’t Give Up”. One of the real stars here is Paula Cole who proves herself an able replacement for Kate Bush during the also aforementioned “Don’t Give Up” and maybe a superior vocalist to Sinead O’ Connor whose memorable turn on the studio version of “Blood Of Eden” may truly be bested here.

The rest of the band––guitarist David Rhodes, violinist Shankar, and keyboardist Jean Claude Naimro––delivers the musical goods with new arrangements and indefatigable musical acumen. Enough, any way, that one wonders how Gabriel could fail to bring a similar energy to his 2011 live release New Blood: Live In London . We digress. With footage such as this still lurking in the wings it seems that Gabriel’s legacy is secure and that the music that sounded positively of the future when it first emerged continues to sound that way two decades on.

Bonus materials include a time-lapse film of the stage set up at Gabriel’s Berlin performance, a making-of film with interviews and behind the scenes footage as well as two tracks that serve as the bed for a photo montage from the tour. The classic “Red Rain”, previously absent from the film, appears as a bonus track while a 2011 performance of “The Rhythm of the Heat” (a track about Carl Jung’s travels in Africa) with the New Blood Orchestra gives us future shock.

The remixed and remastered soundtrack sounds vibrant and neu , the master’s voice as clear and clairvoyant as ever. The ultimate Peter Gabriel experience? Nah. You really have to bathe yourself in the whole oeuvre for that, but this is one great spoke in the greater wheel that is Peter Gabriel’s not-so-secret world.

Still Corners Announce New Album and Tour, Share New Song “Secret World”

Dream talk due out april 5, 2024 via wrecking light.

Dream-pop duo Still Corners have announced a new album, Dream Talk , and shared its first single, “Secret World.” They have also announced some 2024 tour dates. Dream Talk is due out April 5, 2024 via the band’s own Wrecking Light label. Listen to “Secret World” below, followed by the album’s tracklist and cover artwork, as well as the band’s upcoming tour dates.

Still Corners are the American/British duo of Greg Hughes and Tessa Murray. The band’s last album, The Last Exit , came out earlier in 2021. It was one of our Top 100 Albums of 2021 .

Murray had this to say about “Secret World” in a press release: “Sometimes the thought of someone, wanting to know them, get into their world is dangerous. The real person doesn’t matter anymore, just the fantasy of them, which is totally wrong but feels right.”

She had this to say about the album as a whole: “The genesis for a lot of these songs came from dreams. Every night I would write down the dreams I could remember. While recording I would pull out my book of dreams and sing over various looped phrases Greg had been working on. The repetitive nature of the looping and singing almost felt like going into a trance. A lot of the songs came from that process, it was fun and what I thought were sort of ramblings ended up surprising us with their various meanings and imagery.”

The album was written in the south of France, East Sussex, UK, and Woodstock, New York.

“The songs came together quickly and being able to write from anywhere kept up our momentum,” says Murray.

Hughes produced Dream Talk at the band’s studio in Woodstock. He says: “We tried various things like different mics, amps and effects before committing to anything. Everything was mixed analog through our new SSL console, there’s a gleam to the sound.”

In 2016 Murray wrote a My Inner Geek guest blog post for us about Star Trek: The Next Generation and you can read that here .

Dream Talk Tracklist:

1. Today is the Day 2. The Dream 3. Faded Love 4. What is Real 5. Lose More Slowly 6. Secret World 7. Let’s Make Up 8. Crystal Blue 9. The Ship 10. Turquoise Moon

Over the past week, students at dozens of universities held demonstrations, set up encampments and, at times, seized academic buildings. In response, administrators at many of those colleges decided to crack down and called in the local police to detain and arrest demonstrators.

As of Thursday, the police had arrested 2,000 people across more than 40 campuses, a situation so startling that President Biden could no longer ignore it.

Jonathan Wolfe, who has been covering the student protests for The Times, and Peter Baker, the chief White House correspondent, discuss the history-making week.

Background reading

As crews cleared the remnants of an encampment at U.C.L.A., students and faculty members wondered how the university could have handled protests over the war in Gaza so badly .

Biden denounced violence on campus , breaking his silence after a rash of arrests.
