Peter Gabriel - Growing Up Live

Summary: As good as it gets!
Review: For fans of Peter Gabiel this is a must buy. For lovers of great concerts you need to see this. The picture quality, camera work and sound are simply outstanding. Try and watch it on someone's projector, its unbelievable.
I was fortunate to see Peter Gabriel at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1980, and although his hair is now grey, he remains the ultimate showman.
Buy this dvd - you will not regret it.

Summary: Not a Gabriel fan, but love this DVD
Review: I've never been a huge Peter Gabriel fan. I bought "SO" when it was released, and I like it as well as his radio hits, but beyond that, I haven't paid much attention to him.

The other day, I was flipping through the channels and came across this concert on the INHD channel. I was mesmerized.

What a show. This concert is more like performance art than a rock show. Bike riding, walking up side down, rolling in a ball, all "props" that add to the excellent sound quality.

Although I was only familiar with a few of the songs, I found myself enjoying this performance immensely. I bought the DVD the next day and have watched it (or portions of it) over and over.

Even now, I still don't quite love the music as much as others, but the performance is enough for me to enjoy this DVD very much.

Summary: Get Secret World instead
Review: Bought this thinking that the music off of the newest cd would be better live...Wrong! The only good things about this video were, obviously Tony Levin, but then all of the props Pete was using throughout the concert. The new drummer is the most boring guy to watch since Peter Criss...Although, his old stuff with KISS was fairly exciting...but this guy butchers classic songs. Then theres the fact that Pete also got rid of his old keyboardist - again. Now its a boring woman with no real show of talent. Pete also brought his daughter along, but she can get kind of annoying at times. Overall, if you liked UP, get this DVD; if you prefer classic Pete stuff, avoid this DVD.

Summary: Life changing
Review: This musical experience is mind blowing. It is some of the most creative, eye opening performances I have ever seen. I can watch this over and over again and still feel like I was right there in the audience. You can feel the pasion that Peter feels just from watching this. Do the right thing and buy this.

Summary: Gabriel es Gabriel y punto
Review: Al mencionar el nombre de Peter Gabriel, se le viene a
uno a la mente calificativos como:
innovación, vanguardia, calidad musical, espectáculo,
etc.
Pues bueno todo esto y muchas mas cosas son las que
nos presenta este magnifico vocalista y músico en su
ultimo DVD llamado Growing UP Live. Un concierto
que deja al espectador atónito desde el principio hasta el
final.

Peter Gabriel nos tiene acostumbrados a sus montajes
espectaculares desde la época de Genesis y con los
años y los avances tecnológicos estos cada vez son más
impresionantes, en Growing up, podemos observar,
entre otras cosas, a Gabriel y a su hija, quien hace
coros, caminando boca abajo en una plataforma o a
Gabriel metido en una enorme bola transparente
caminando por el escenario y en juego de luces
descrestante.

La calidad de la imagen y del audio son
inigualables,en el sonido encontramos desde DTS hasta
estéreo digital, mezcla impecable y nivel de audio 1-A.

El empaque en el que viene el DVD esta muy bien
diseñado, digi-pack, con varias alas que se despliegan y
en las que encontramos dos folletos con fotos e información sobre de la gira, la envoltura se asemeja a
una caja de cartón.

Me atrevo a decir que este trabajo es uno de los mejores lanzados este año, o porque no el mejor que he
visto hasta ahora. Se los recomiendo a todos los amantes del buen rock gústeles o no Peter Gabriel si
pudiera le daría no 5 si no 10 o mas de calificación .

P.D: gracias Gabriel por mostrar que el buen rock prevalece por encima de la mediocridad musical que nos apabulla en estos días y que para ser rockero no se
necesita ser joven de cuerpo si no de espíritu y que el rock no es una moda, es un sentimiento es un
pensamiento, es una actitud de vida.

Summary: PETER GABRIEL; GREAT, OF COURSE
Review: PETER GABRIEL'S GROWING UP LIVE IS JUST WHAT YOU'D EXPECT. VISUALLY APPEALING, TOP NOTCH BAND AND GREAT SOUND. THE MAN'S A GENIUS, FOLKS. HIGHLIGHTS FOR ME WERE RED RAIN, SKY BLUE AND SECRET WORLD. BEING A BASSIST, I LOVE TONY LEVIN. HOW DOES HE PLAY WITH THOSE LITTLE STICKS ON HIS FINGERS? IF YOU LIKE PETER GABRIEL, JUST BUY IT.
