Peter Gabriel - Mercy Street - Live in Milan 2003

[holicat098]

divine song!

[flotopo]

THIS is art...and yet it's not promoted, you do not hear it on the radio...Why?

[donbut66]

I don't care who inspired this song. Because Peter Gabriel makes it magic!

[GeFlixes]

0:15

Someone died...

[Cimbarius]

New album by Peter Gabriel "NEW BLOOD" out now ;)

[donbut66]

The album version is better!

[marian444]

Wonderful song and performance!!

[melldu58]

j'adore. c'est magnifique. 

[TheSoftRockBallads]

@melldu58 c'est bien de voir une francophone. Mercy Street is probably my favourite PG song.

[melldu58]

@TheSoftRockBallads c'est vrai qu'il n'y a pas beaucoup de français qui semblent apprécier ce genre de musique... mais peu importe, je suis là pour montrer que la France n'écoute pas que des artistes très médiocres... Peter Gabriel est un artiste et il traverse les pays avec toujours le même succès, rien que pour cela, il a du mérite!! il fait également partie de mes artistes préférés...!

[totricioK]

PERFECTO



[vilinarev]

Beautiful voice ! It's a dream !!!

[fastweis]

there is 1 better version :) ... from the Secret World Live EP, because it'll be last 2 minutes longer. perfect music.

[tigerblue4ever]

Beautiful.



[M0n0bl0kk0]

Phil Collins logged in with 14 different accounts anc clicked dislike with each one of them.

[MattySP34Ks]

If I ever die.... I want this to be sung at my funeral.

[napoletanoolandese]

Timeless beauty, there are no boundaries to PG's artistic and musical qualities...

[Kafrifelle]

I cannot think of any word to describe how I feel when I listen to PG's music except " perfection " maybe ...

[MrCorvusC]

Oh my godness, that is incredible, mindblowing.This song is one of the most beautiful things i've ever seen, heard or felt in my whole life

Sorry for my bad English, that isn't my native language.But I think that its not enough words in any language to describe this song

[littlemisterpig]

@MrCorvusC Dude, you wrote a perfect english sentence and apoliogized for your bad english?

[neil9ification]

the flute in this song is played beautifully.

[23valeriaferreira]

this is an amazing and deep song!!! Touches our souls. I liked in special ther part that show a man on public...singing " in your dad´s arms"...Almost cried!!!!!

[AlFesta1]

Listening to this beautiful timeless song .....always makes me cry.......thank you Peter for givin' us this masterpiece and for all the emotions you gave us trough all these years....you are a GENIUS.

[elphring]

Dear YouTube~

This video has dislikes.

Please fix.

Thanks.

[Eifelbrandt]

Peter Gabriel is a godamn genius! I first heard this song on Miami Vice. That serie has some of the best songs out there, even today!

This is real music unlike all that r&b/hiphop crap the radios and television feeds us with.

[schnute68]

So wounderfull!!!!!!

[zPolski1991]

perfect

[mcarmo001]

muito bom realmente ele sabe tudo...ficou incrivel...um abraço e obrigado...

[whoof1]

I have to respect.....the respect.....so, my respect

[cardo1111]

A true master.

[Isan011]

@cardo1111 I have been a huge Gabriel fan since the early days of Genesis. I remain one to this day and detest what Genesis became 2 albums after he left. I know that the poet who inspired this is generally reviled but his lyrics and delivery make me forget that and remember the daddies of my wife and myself who we will miss as long as we live!

[BOB73578]

This is the best reading of Anne Sexton's poem "45 Mercy Street". The background music accompanying makes this special. Copy and Youtube search this exactly : "poemsapennyeach mercy street . . by Anne Sexton"

[fabriciobraga]

Música de verdade, arranjo perfeito. Que coisa incrível!

[icl1993]

what kind of flute is used in minute 5:30?

[dpycolli]

Peter Gabriel é o cara...



[JakeFeatherston41]

A man who has gone beyond his peers. Thanks to you all for supporting Peter and thanks to Peter for his incredible material.

[bruceleetaiwan]

Not much can be said of Mr. Gabriel but BRILLIANT. Happy to have been young in time when music was music

[Thumelikar]

Wow. the bass-player has bass in his voice, too.

[plezhurhouse]

I can only just say that from Genesis to now--I just LOVE him! Spiritually gifted in all areas.

[whoof1]

Amatuers.....welcome to PG, i 've been watching and listening to this for years...PG is a finger on the pulse....hope you have one

[GoaMicha]

best song ever peter

[brainofhomer]

Viewed this video multiple times every day for a week now whilst mourning the victims of the tragic massacre in Norway.

One World One People.

[seventhskin1]

Incredible... Closed my eyes, had an "out of body" experience, and tears welled up and began to run down my face. Whewww...

[dModer101]

I am STAGGERED that some people have 'disliked' this, tone deaf morons!

[watergoddess22]

his daughter melody is just so lovely in this (the one in the boat)

[ajlara79]

Peter Gabriel is my favorite modern music musician as a music writer.

[mahlerisacco]

as usual, the best in italy

[LiveAFullLife1]

Brilliant. Timeless and brilliant.

[keliciousify]

Peter-I would never picture being the type to ever divorce, BUT just in case, can you look me up? PLEASE!! sing to meeeeeee.

[arwen54]

this is brilliant! I get goosebumps every time I watch it

[loopduo]

Ah yes but would he make the X factor final. Please stop the world I want to get off.

Love his unique voice.

[channelsurreal]

Desde a época da mini-série, que eu me apaixonei por essa música!!!!

[MarcusDidiusFalco]

@alexita333

Anne Sexton (to whom is this song dedicated) was an inmate of a, I think its called mental home in english. I read that she was there because aof suicidal tendencies. As part of her therapie she wrote many poems. They must be wonderful if PG dedicates a song to her. As far as i know she (unfortunately) succeeded later in her attempt to leave this world before she could write more of them.... Hope she found the peace she missed o this side...

[RamsAndPabRock]

I need some hair gel to paste down my armhairs. goosebumps x 10000

[whoof1]

Trust me, once you hear this and see this....you're doomed for life. It's a tender mercy..

[EmitFlestiKY]

How could any sane person with hearing give this a thumbs down? WTF? This song is Beauty incarnate!

[joea608]

This song is so beautiful it could bring world peace, if everyone listened to it :-)

[oasisoasis21]

i had the tape of this album when i was a kid and i remember just listening to this amazing song...now it reminds me of when i was younger, when life was just so simple and beautiful

[MoCityVlogs]

sexiest flute ever

[soulreaver6879]

12 people are deaf

[kanime1986]

@soulreaver6879 make that 13 lol, gotta love peter gabriel

[chichipotle]

PG is allways better live. Amazing.

[suddenlysusan99]

I want to know how I lived 55 years and never got turned on to this man until now???

[dogsbalearics]

@suddenlysusan99 i am 41 and been listening to this since he split with Genisis! Peter & Phil were fighting it out, I think they are both greats. Alot of Peters stuff brings back to me, you know where I am coming from I suppose.

[suddenlysusan99]

@dogsbalearics He's amazing... I like Phil Collins too, but I've been listening to this song for the past 24 hours!

Remember the music of the future in "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure"? You know the music that makes all mankind unite and the planets align? Well lol this is it!

[MaxBGuitar]

@dogsbalearics

So you're Phil? xD : p

[bgrulzz]

How amazing is this dude?! Love the song and this live version is just so good!

[marcoskengo]

I agreed with rain74925 i teared my eyes listing this one!!

outstanding!!

[MichaelDovenGray]

Epic!

[joey300372]

magic at its best.....

[LIONARTist60]

This would be the ultimate for me. I have to see him live before it's all over. He's going to be in Red Rocks 6-13-11. That would be amazing.

[calle68]

The intro is amazing ....

[vitorro1970]

Genial los musicos que lleva Peter,incluida su hija y el mejor Toni L...

[Madman007]

Attention Beiber fans: THIS is REAL music, folks! 

[Lastman0nEarth]

@Madman007 shhh

[Chaoitcme]

@Madman007 What is a Beiber??? ;)

[BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

@Madman007 Attention to the Lady Gaga groupies, Beyonce, Kesha, and all of the rest of today's so called musical artists, learn how to compose, write and sing something that passes as music, not the dribble and trash that you are turning out. Listen to Peter, Sting, and any number of artists from 70's and 80's that you can't hold a candle to.........

[eclipsestorm1975]

whats so great about Peter Gabriel is that he sounds the same live as on the recordings .. unlike newer so called singers

[MrFbcvideo]

I love it. Its 2 o´clock in the night and i keep listening and keep switching between this one and here comes the flood. I had to cry two times but i can´t stop watching. Its so beautifull and reminds me when i listen to the songs as a child with my father. Just love it !

[22Yeller]

@MrFbcvideo Spot on. Reminds me of when my son was little + I used to pick him up + hug him. He's grown up + a soldier now. When he went to Afghan I used to play this song a lot. Brought tears to my eyes.

[ThePapillon2705]

Richard Evans is playing a low whistle made by Colin Goldie, a tenor E small bore actually. Wonderfull sound, wonderfull music!

[ixcuix]

What kind of flute is being played in this video?

[ThePapillon2705]

@ixcuix

It´s a low whistle made by Colin Goldie, Richard Evans is playing a tenor E small bore. Great sound, wonderfull music!

[ImperatorMunk]

The DVD is the BEST Music DVD i have ever seen, beside PULSE from Pink Floyd. I love both of them. It's amazing!

[Perfectsymmetry18]

All of his music is so atmospheric it's crazy!

[tearsinrain2]

★★★★★★ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

[slowdown1]

Quelle belle émotion !!

[lazernteebbee]

i don't want to wreck anything because this is a great song and a performance ...however this is overdubed with the bed tracks when they play live...it doesn't really take away from the momment though ....however it is really just a lip sync with a bed to follow.

[bloodsuckingclown]

I have seen Peter Gabriel live a couple of times - and while he is always fantastic - this is the best ever performance of this song :)

[NikkoCorfu]

He was so great, now he's got a girl sitting in a boat to illustrate a point that even the dumbest of humanity will understand.

Retire, don't do this to us, it;s embarrassing.

[markpreece]

@NikkoCorfu The girl is Peter Gabriel's daughter.

[donPimenta]

Só alguem muito grande como o Peter é capaz de algo tão bonito.

[aeromilagro85]

Watching this whole DVD was like a religious experience for me.... Absolutely beautiful!

[ariiicm]

back perfeeito *-* realmente parece mt com Phil Collins

[BloomAndGrow]

was Phil Collins up there?

[IDisposable]

Tony Levin is God's gift to me... personal, direct and intentional. You all can share him, I and he and God don't mind... but understand that that bass is my heartbeat, my soul's cry translated to the human realm. God does provide.

[MrSom3thing]

haha .. @0:11 some lady screams "my nigga!"

[McGwinn]

this video sends shivers down my spine. Ich bin süchtig nach dieser Aufnahme ;-)

[MaryJoMuser]

church of Peter beautiful

[0Sirk0]

omg, whos the guy with the mustache??

cause i've seen him playing for king crimson

also hes crying *sniffle*

[audiobyrne]

@0Sirk0 The bassist? Tony Levin.

[DANGITPEPE]

I'm a 56 year old man , and Peter Gabriel's songs still bring tears to my eyes.I've never been to any church where the music could put me as close to The Spirit as this man's compositions.I think he is a foretaste of the music that must fill Heaven( which,by the way,is an ocean).

[kurvanoha666]

eleven idiots don´t like this song - i cannot understand this...

[pik46]

god it made me cry sitting here at work the song made me cry....."aint there one damn song that can make me break down and cry" Yes Mr Bowie there is.

[Frytz68]

Never heard it better. The acapella intro is breathtaking and cuts my throut. Brilliant version of a brilliant song.

[katiavlenoir]

e maravilhosa esta musica, toca profundo na alma! e recorda a fase mais linda da minha vida! ( estava gravida )

[thiagotecnico]

Tony Levin, liquid tension experiment, looks awesome

[KaiserFranzM]

@thiagotecnico Tony Levin, king crimson, looks even better :D

[thiagotecnico]

@KaiserFranzM for sure, haha! XD

[VampirePostalService]

The softness and appeal to human nature as innocent and striving toward good that this song represents is enough to make me cry with joy.

[Gersongrub]

Maravilhosa !!! simplesmente Maravilhosa !!!

[NumeroPrimo17]

Breathtaking...

[BiauaGaua]

great.

[sportychik07]

no words can describe how beautiful this song trully is...calling it amazing, beautiful, majic, perfect, haunting, anything! it just doesnt do it justice...it's all of those things a million times more!

[kanime1986]

@sportychik07 and yet you can sense the sadness in the song its a timeless classic

[wagmigo]

Verdadeiramente grande música emociona D+!

[Jeffrywith1e]

I swear the moved that sign.

[HappyKarsten]

Perfecto !!

[pbackperry]

Seeing him is number one on my bucket list. I keep my fingers crossed...

[p262shp]

my wife has fallen in love with this song its so haunting pure class

[willow15ks]

voice is still the same as years / decade ago...great song

[niniaty]

Pure magic. . . =) 

[TheIanjcar45]

Like all his work, totally haunting...Amazing.

[rodemobil]

@TheIanjcar45

new blood tour is also great ....

[orangewizard]

PG is starting to look a bit like Hannibal Lecter as he gets older,lol!!

[Xtra999]

@orangewizard

Hmmm, brain ...

[Willowtable]

she pictures the broken glass, she pictures the steam

she pictures a soul ..with no leak at the seam

take care soul-friend and thank you for this

[klimavi]

[kurvanoha666]

he´s a real professional, amazing

[kitosh7000]

excellent music



[Middlesexful]

this amazing flute or whistle that richard evans plays at 3:51 is the best part of the song

[Yateist]

For those who are interested, the Anne Sexton poem "45 Mercy Street" is here: wwwdotpoemhunterdotcomslashpoe­mslash45-mercy-street

[isabeauladyhawke]

Il più bel concerto della mia vita.. io c'ero... Meraviglioso, nostalgia fino alle lacrime.. stupendo

[LISTUNUP]

What a blessing to be able to see this.

Mercy is something my Lord has been working on me to understand for many years now.

Even if you are not connected with learning from my Lord how do you account for mercy? Is mercy important to the human condition? I believe so.......Forgiveness is derived from mercy. LOVE is derived from forgiveness. All you need is LOVE...Thank you pccondor33 this is a moving piece:-) Thank you Peter Gabiel and all those that worked on bringing this to us.PEACE

[calafsdream]

wow - better than the studio recording

[SpenceSyd]

Is that guy playing the wind instrument Peter's son he looks so much like Peter

[joannaleasa]

so beautiful

[ilvendicativo]

Sto piangendo...mai successo.. Dio mio..

[yowassupzation]

use headphones when listening to this. excellent quality. who doesn't love this song?

[CuddlyBadger]

@yowassupzation The devil.

[SvevaForever]

questa piccola barca per la misericordia è per Anne Sexton. thank for Anne Sexton

[bojanix]

MASTERPIECE !!!

[claypigeon77]

It never fails to make me scratch my head in wonder why people who don't like this kind of music can't just move on and not leave obnoxious comments and/or click dislike.To the 11 music haters that clicked dislike..go away,you won't be missed.

[rossiffer22]

is this his dauhter i must ask

[MrZebra69]

@rossiffer22 yeah. the young lady in the boat is melanie gabriel

[rossiffer22]

is that woman his daughter just to ask

[jaimiecurrie]

Thumbs up if better than the studio version?

[MaxBGuitar]

@jaimiecurrie

Somehow he's always in live more... Alive. :D It all seems so close and full of emotion!

[Wilczurek92]

I love this song. Peter Gabriel is the best!

[flotopo]

So much emotion....it just leaves you speechless and the tears running down say it all.....

[drawingsf]

Phil who ?????

[superchargedtaoist]

Exquisite. One of my all time fave songs; filled with melancholy hope.

[rain74925]

I'm lost for words. If heaven is full of music like this, that alone is reason enough to wish that's where you go thereafter. Does anyone actually experience a physical sensation when listening to this song, like I do? tingles, goosbumps, or teary eyes?

[whopunkedu]

@rain74925 yes i do, i know how feel i am there with you

[stupidname78399]

@rain74925 OHHH yeah, dead on the nail

[1kingfire]

@rain74925 yes very much so

[Ollie3E]

@rain74925

I agree. You know a song is something special if it evokes feelings like that.

[wigtonjohn]

@rain74925 completely relate to the physical impact this has on you - every time I listen to it; the special power of great music.

[phyter21]

@rain74925 this actually is one of a few songs that make me cry.

[thaoddie]

@rain74925 to me music is emotion turned into sound waves and yes when it comes from the soul like this it touches me mentally as well as physically.

[ninoboy213]

@rain74925 yup lol. tingles, goosebumps.... the whole package

[eclipsestorm1975]

@rain74925 alot of his music has this effect on me ... very good artist

[HerbetFernando]

Um dos melhores videos já vistos, igualando a versão original se não melhor que a original. Parabéns e obrigado por postar esse video fantástico !

[Victorina32]

This is incredible, an amazing performance of the best song ever written!

Vicky 

[jcowell1977]

He may have grown older, but he is still one of the best ever. This is just beautiful. If you don't like it, I feel sorry for you. Enjoy this. Peace and Love, Jake.

[DavidSandor]

És akkor egy újabb csoda. Amennyire agy Apa csak szeretheti a Lányát.

[AvirtualSwitzerland]

A simply magnificent song...what emotion!

[laliluipu]

Great! Everyone noticed: Your Passion is music.. Respect!!
