Eagle Rock Entertainment have officially announced that they will release on Blu-ray Peter Gabriel: Secret World Live. The classic show has been fully restored and remastered from the original film and features many of Peter Gabriel's hits including "Steam", "Sledgehammer", "Don't Give Up", "In Your Eyes", "Digging In The Dirt", "Shaking The Tree" and "Solsbury Hill". Stree date is July 24th.
Secret World Live is a Grammy Award winning film and this new version allows the original film to be seen and heard in the best possible quality on Blu-ray. Filmed in Modena, Italy across two nights in November 1993 as part of Peter Gabriel's acclaimed "Secret World Live" tour in support of the "Us" album, the show is elaborately presented and choreographed with two stages joined by a narrow moving walkway. The line-up for this show featured Peter Gabriel (vocals, keyboards); Manu Katche (drums); Tony Levin (bass, vocals); David Rhodes (guitar, vocals); Jean Claude Naimro (keyboards, vocals); Paula Cole (vocals); Shankar (violin, vocals); Levon Minassian (doudouk) with guests Papa Wemba and Molokai.
A slew of great Bonus Features are also included. "Red Rain" was not included in the original film, this is now included as an extra for the first time. This version also offers Timelapse film of the complex stage set up, plus a featurette on the making of the Secret World Live film, including interviews and behind the scenes footage. Additionally, there's a newly restored photomontage slideshow to the remixed "Quiet" version of "Steam" and, finally, "The Rhythm Of The Heat" orchestral version from the New Blood: Live In London show.

i saw several stops on this tour as well as few warm up shows for his woodstock performance. loved the dvd since day 1...never thought the blu would ever come. the man is pure genius. excellent musicians. smart lyrics. great visuals. puts on an excellent show.
yes. i am a big fan. i was fairly young when 'so' came out and could not be happier that my father said i should take a listen. i eventually found my own way to 'selling england by the pound' and 'the lamb lies down on broadway.' the rest was history. my only problem with pete is he is always so busy doing so many fascinating things, he takes forever to put out some new music!
