Amazon.com: Peter Gabriel: Growing Up Live presents the complete 2003 Milan concert from Peter Gabriel's tour based around the album Up, featuring 17 tracks across 134 minutes. Literally central to a memorable show is a revolving stage that sees Gabriel going for a cycle ride in an exuberant "Solsbury Hill," performing "Growing Up" inside a Zorb ball, and delivering a gravity-defying sky walk in "Downside Up" with daughter Melanie. Accompanied by regular sidemen David Rhodes (guitar) and Tony Levin (bass), Gabriel is joined by the legendary Blind Boys of Alabama for the spine-tingling "Sky Blue," throughout mixing recent tracks like the abrasive "Darkness" and "The Barry Williams Show" with established crowd pleasers such as "Red Rain," "In Your Eyes," and "Sledgehammer."
Gabriel may be less wired than before, but he commands the arena with effortless charm and charismatic presence, his voice retaining all its paradoxically fragile power. Presented in an understated blue light and shot in an unobtrusive, gimmick-free style, the concert begins and ends in virtual darkness with Gabriel alone at a keyboard; from the opening "Here Comes the Flood" to the final "Father, Son," Growing Up is rock theater of rare intimacy, emotion, and intelligence.
The DVD is presented with a flawless 16:9 anamorphically enhanced picture and three soundtracks: rich and clear stereo, excellent Dolby Digital 5.1 and even more precise and detailed DTS. The Story of Growing Up is polished nine-minute documentary in which Gabriel talks about his ideas for the tour and the presentation of some of the songs. Tony Levin's View (five minutes) sets the song "More Than This" to photos taken by the bass player. --Gary S. Dalkin
The Great Peter Gabriel I purchased this DVD for my fiance and he has watched it around 10 times within a week or so. This is one of the most entertaining and original concerts that we have ever seen. The performance of "Upside Down, Downside Up" is just awesome. I also love the "Blind Boys of Alabama" and to see them with Peter Gabriel was a real treat. I would love to see this concert live but until then, this is FANTASTIC!!!!!!
Best Live Concert Seeing the preparation, then the perforance, is what makes this concert in the round, a great video concert expirence.
The very best of Peter Gabriel This concert , is by far the best live apresentation of Peter Gabriel . The sound is incredible , and the video , is good .
Great DVD !
very disappointed After becoming a Peter Gabriel fan after watching Secret World I was very disappointed with this DVD. I felt that it was being done to make money and for nothing else. The energy was non existent. I couldn't believe that Peter Gabriel would do something like Barry Williams Show, what a joke that was and when he rode a bicycle around the stage I was done. Buy Secret World it is a much more entertaining DVD, and Paula Cole was much better then Gabriel's Daughter.
Terrific Concert! This concert is a feast for your ears and your eyes. I knew I'd like some/most of the music, being a fan since the mid-70s. But, the creativity and spectacle of the concert's staging is amazing. Very, very well done.
Peter Gabriel, like myself, has aged 30 years since "So", Sobut he still has the look and the voice setting him apart, and beyond, most of his rock and roll peers.
I rate this concert right up there with Pink Floyd's 1994 "Pulse" concert Pulseand The Moody Blues 1992 Concert at Red Rocks, CO. A Night at Red Rocks with the Colorado...
