Free Music Review: Secret World Live
Hit: 5 Stars
'Secret World Live' is a brilliant example of Peter Gabriel in concert. You can hear how he performs the songs live and how the audience react to them. This collection includes all his major hits, as well as some songs that are less known commercially, but which are just as, if not more, impressive. This tour was highly acclaimed for it's innovative stage set, as designed by Robert Lepage, and although you can't see the set, you get a feel for how it affected the performance from the audiences reaction throughout. If you want a better idea of this, check out the DVD of this tour. This is a great album of Gabriel doing what he does best, performing simple, honest songs with passion and integrity. It can't be beaten.

This is the CD to own, by far. I can listen to it a million times and not be sick of it. Peter Gabriel is a musical genius, infusing his unique sound with world music influence, most notably singers and percussion from Africa. And his lyrics are intelligent, not your standard pop/rock. I always enjoyed Peter Gabriel, but this CD incorporates all the elements into the best versions of these songs I have ever heard. "In Your Eyes" alone is worth buying this CD. I own the DVD of SWL as well, which is incredible in itself, but unfortunately cuts off some of the best parts of certain songs - like a young Paula Cole shaking the tree with her incredible voice. I can't say enough about this CD, except do yourself a favor and buy it.Free Music Review: Secret World Live

Great live album. Peter Gabriel's songs are better when heard live. I've seen several videos related to this tour and have been really impressed. I have not actually seen Peter live in person. I saw Genesis in 1978 in New Orleans. Although I really injoyed the show, I was upset because Peter had already left the band. I feel that Peter's move to go solo was the best thing for not only himself but for the music lovers out there that like good, well written songs that also have a captivating sound. He continues to surround himself with some of the best musicians in the world which make his songs shine as some of the best in rock-n-roll or new world music. I recommend this disc set to anyone. The music is great!Free Music Review: Best Live Album Ever!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
This album is one of the greatest achievements of Gabriel's career. The energy and emotion from the stage is perfectly translated into a layered and deeply moving musical experience. The sound quality is superb and Gabriel is on top of his game. Also notable is the set list. It is not your typical greatest hits + a few obscure new songs, but rather the concert flows like a conversation, almost leading the listener into believing that she is listening to a concept album. I always have this album in my short stack of music, and I anticipate that it will live there permanently. Buy this! and enjoy. If you like it, check out Sting's "Bring on the Night" which is also a superb and unbelievable live album.Free Music Review: Hold the Phone

I've loved Peter Gabriel's inspiration and creativity since the early 'Genesis days' and really appreciate his eclectic field of diverse interests and influences.
This is a killer CD. If you're put off buying it because you have the tracks imbeded in other CD collections etc- don't be. Gabriel does really well bringing fresh energy to his works in different seasons and this is no exception. It is just fantastic. Consider it a fresh interpretation of many classics and an exercise powerfully assisted by the energy of the perfomances, the vib of the audience and the not inconsequential collaboration with Paula Cole.
The DVD is also great!
