Most helpful review Peter Gabriel - Secret World - Live

  • One Hell Of a Show

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    The litmus test of a good concert is whether it can stir your emotions. The test of a good concert DVD is whether it can repeat that feat for someone who was there.

    When I saw this show in Sheffield, Secret World moved me to tears. When I watched this DVD (filmed in Modena, Italy) it did it again.

    The staging is superb, the musicianship is astounding and the set-list almost perfect (no Games Without Frontiers, BOO!)

    The 5.1 mixes are also superb, with the quality of the DTS track astounding. The only gripe is that the picture is a tad grainy, but that is forgivable for a show as darkly lit as this.

    When I rent a live concert to watch I expect the artist to sing, he mimes through the whole show, I was so disappointed

  • Not 'That' Improved...

    Even as a lifelong Gabriel fan - I have to say two things about this reissue. The picture quality is only OK at best - the DVD was barely watchable - but the supposed remastered BLU RAY is little better - covered in haze in every single shot.

    The sound is great - but there's also the matter of how dated this concert is. I loved it at the time (was moved too) but it's a hard watch now. I've seen this stuff and heard these tracks too many times now. I just wish the guy would stop regurgitating the past and produce some new material.

    I'd say rent this before you buy on nostalgia - the music may still turn you on - but the supposed upgrade isn't really worth it...

    Peter Gabriel at his best and as usual an excellent band to back him up.

  • Great concert!

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    What a fantastic concert this is. I remember watching this in an edited version on channel 4 a few years ago.

    This will be one of the most innovative concerts you will ever see.Look out for the weird camera shots in 'Digging In The Dirt'.

  • Stunning Concert!!!

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By MS from Edinburgh , 10 Mar 2005
    I was fortunate enough to attend a concert during Peter Gabriels Secret World Tour and to this day I'm still mesmerized by the talent of the man.

    This disc contains a stunning concert and an excellent DTS soundtrack. Although the picture quality is distinctly average.(It's both grainy & Pixely).

    Essential Viewing for any self-respecting music-lover!
