  • One of my fav songs... i tear up listening to it, don't know why. I think it makes my think of the girl i loved at the time i saw the show and got the cd... better watch some rugby league...

  • i will be philosophical...how do you know we are not upside down right now? maybe right side up means standing on our heads. ponder that

  • Utterly beautiful song. Mrs. Gabriel sings like an angel!

    

  • What a show!!

  • piel de gallina

  • OMG OMG !!!!!!!!!!!

    HERE FROMBRAZIL.

    WE lOVE YOU, PETER!

    We are sorry for the stupid incidente.

    Pardon! Have mercy...........we love you!!!!

    Come again....lets make is great!

  • there is a resonence within this song that lets itself to interspective thoughts!!..

  • Voz de Angel Melanie-Grande Peter...

  • Amazing song and performance!

    How can you remain upside down for such a long time , AND be able to sing?

  • @PatMetheny1980

    Well, They just turn the audience upside down. 

  • I always thought this song was recorded in a studio... it turns out it's live...

  • i remember hearing this song everyday for a year , i fell in love with all the songs from the show ,

  • Let's have a big shout out for professional stagehands... "TRUSS IS MOVING!"

    Nice job, people!

    (Also, now I want to try to sing like Peter and Melanie Gabriel while hanging upside down for a couple of minutes. That's a trained diaphragm, there!)

  • A veces las cosas parecen estar patas pa arriba.

    En ese momento hay libertad, riesgo. Debes dejarte llevar.

  • At 3:30 my body trembles with Tony Levin's bass. What a wonderful song. Perfection does exist. Thx for posting and thx to Peter and all.

  • Питер просто умница!! Талантище!! Снимаю шляпу!!

  • who ever disliked it , screw u , IT ROCKS xx

  • Peter is a genius, Melanie sings like an angel. Both beautiful and creative minds together on stage? priceless.

  • ¡ɓu!zɐɯɐ s! əɔuɐɯɹoʄɹəd əʌ!l əɥʇ

  • ¡ƃuos looɔ ʎɹǝʌ

  • Her voice has such a pure tone. I wish I could pull that off.

  • 32 people thought downside up was upside down and pressed the wrong like button:-)

  • gosh the blend is one of a kind..

  • one sing this people do not realise we can DL this any time from the rigth place :( shame of U

  • I wish I was there, I'd even pay full price to see this song alone.

  • Brilliant!!!!....as we allways get from pete....

  • Incredible performance... i had the chance to see PG in Lima, perfect show... they didn't play "Downside Up" here and the show was completely different but, what a night... they demonstrate in this video their proffesional and creative personality, and of course that genetic musicality between father and daughter... great...

  • This was a trip when I saw him on this tour..PG never fails to amaze and entertain :)

  • this is just amazing

  • une superbe chanson, avec en prime, peter et sa fille

  • now I want my guitar back that I sold..

  • Was a brilliant concert. Will never forget it :) Monsmeg from sunny Drongan :) Peter Gabriel aka Genius

  • Was a brilliant concert. Will never forget it :) Monsmeg from sunny Drongan :)

  • wish I was at the concert

  • amazing!!

  • Anytime a parent can work/perform with their child/children is a wonderful experience, something to treasure.

  • I play this song with accordion!I like this song!

  • Thirty are obviously suffering from cognitive dissonance, the reason being too far embedded in a confused psyche. Peter and his daughter, Melanie, deliver and amazingly profound song that can only be described as excruciatingly exquisite! Here is to you both and your amazing band! Melanie has retained such childlike voice, it can only be described as innocence personified!

  • @sisyphus511 It is impossible to dislike this song. Its composition is just perfect

  • Comment removed

  • Love it Love It Love it. Mel is so beautiful and sings like an angel. When's an album coming out??

  • I have always loved this song. The video makes it that much more amazing. Thank you for posting.

  • I remember seeing this live..

  • this is one of his few melodic songs

  • very nice song

  • Apoint well taken.In retrospect one would be safe to say the whole was greater than the sum of it's parts.

  • .. Нет слов.. Габриэль просто кудесник...  Коллеги музыканты - ориентир налицо!

  • I Saw Genesis ,both varieties,with and without PG,many times back in the 70's.I loved them then.But now,later in life,here I return.I don't listen to Genesis any longer.When PG left Genesis,Genesis was never the same ,really.PG,on the otherhand shed his cocoon then,sprouted spirit wings,and flies still.

  • @DANGITPEPE I was not born back then, so I couldn't tell about the theatrical side of the old Genesis, but all I can say is that the real genius behind Genesis melodies was not Peter Gabriel. It was Steve Hackett. Now, it doesn't mean that Gabriel isn't a genius too...

  • @DANGITPEPE

    Amen. :)

  • I have always thought a genius is living type of portal by which the divine world confirms it's reality.Where ever the music comes from that passes through this man,I sure want to get there.PG,I hope you make music until you are 110.Thankyou,Sir.

  • I remember the first time I saw this back in 2007, My family and I were watching it in my stepdad's music room with surround surround sound. I was blown away and became a fan of Peter instantly.

  • Whats the name of this tour..??

  • @UccideteviColGas The Growing Up tour

  • How much of this is a sequence?

  • Stupid, I mean stupendous. No , I mean stupidly stupendous, Ridiculous talent. Nonsensically awesome. I mean, come on, this can't possibly be real can it Simon Cowell? PG for no 1 2011........it starts here!

  • Comment removed

  • I have been an avid PG fan since he was with genesis (yes I am old), but I just recently heard this song and really, really liked it but I could not recognise the female voice until I found out here that it's his daughter. She is perfect in this duet! Has she done anything else?

  • Not surprising...Peter Gabriel has always been amazingly talented. I saw him in Philly years ago and called out to him...he actually turned around and looked directly at me in that huge crowd. Peter, thank you for enriching my life with the gift of your music for all these years. I'll always have a "crush" on you! God bless you & your family...Merry Christmas! xoxo

  • I remember as a child i used to lie down in the big bedroom of the house in Birkenhead for hours and imagine this downside up epiphenomenon. This brought back so many lovely memory's

  • 29 out of 1032 people missed the like button

  • I'm AMAZED at how, in the middle of an acrobatic and musical feat that he is taking part of, he offers kudos and applause to his band. Seriously, amazing.

  • @BrooklynJackBlue I love Pete Gabriel, but I hate it when he does that, it reminds me too much of Elvis.

  • amazing so amazing thanks Peter you´re just great

  • who is the Female Singer?

  • @nickthomaspost

    His daughter, Melanie

  • 29 hanno votato contro: hahahahahaaaa PETER IS A GREAT GENIUS!

  • Does anyone know if this is from a DVD ? Thanks!

  • @mcesariotube Yes, from "Growing Up" - the whole concert on that DVD is just amazing!

  • i have been here on this planet for 45 years now listening to rock and roll and this was the first song to make me cry......

  • Awesome

  • one of the greatest songs of the World... thank you Peter

  • love this song

  • Man, what an excellent performance!!!!!!!

  • Just one of a hundred reasons to see Peter Gabriel live!

  • what a great voice

  • father-in-law

  • Melanie is awesome too in this song!

  • Смотри НАтаШЕчка!!!♫♫♫ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥КАЙФ)

  • Awesome!

  • Peter, I love you!

  • this is brilliant... and more "real" than pple realize 

  • I'm so glad he did this live. One of the PG's best songs and he is not singing it on the album version...

  • @TheSebiszon This song is actually on PG's 2000 album OVO (If I understood you correctly)

  • @ThePowderfinger71 yes, it is, but the vocals was recorded by Paul Buchanan not PG.

  • @ThePowderfinger71 I SAW THE ACTUAL SHOWING OF OVO AT THE 'DOME' WHEN IT OPENED IN 2000,THE SHOW WAS AMAZING,I ONLY WISH I COULD GET A VIDEO OF IT,APPARENTLY THERE WASNT ONE MADE,THO LOTS OF PEOPLE THERE WERE RECORDING IT. IT WAS ON A PAR WITH THE CIRQUE DE SOLEIL.

  • @rmatmcam

    Gabriel and Cirque De Soleil, and interesting combo.  I would have loved to have seen both. :)

  • Wow. Anyone who likes this? Check out Genesis and Yes. Both great bands, PG was in Genesis (When it was the greatest music on earth) Check out my channel.

  • @sceptile759 Genesis were always the greatest on earth, even after PG left.

  • love makes the world turn upside down when it's just not "going round" as it ought to.... thank god for Leigh Bowery

  • love.

  • what a fabulous piece of music between father and daughter.

  • I love their Voices^^

  • Great song, gave me goose-pimps and a lump in my throat...

  • It's amazing! I love...

  • one of my absolute favorites

  • indeed one of my faves! tony rocks.

  • Melanie looks so tender and beautiful, Peter looks like a tower of strength, their voices match and complement each others perfectly.

    what a fantastic concert this is

  • Harmony of the voices, poem of the song, action on the stage. Incredible atmosphere. Like it a lot!

  • close to fears so beauty fhis like very much this vision perpetuel mouvement in circle fly solar impulse, the sun for all of us around this world or upsidedown she'll be right & best cheers in memory of Hans Wilsdorf and Nicolas Hayek 2010
  • PG and his team are a free-flowing channel of great ideas.

  • There is a tree whose roots are in the sky

  • yes, hard to imagine a thumb down, unless you are upside down....

  • very, extremely, absolutely, wonderfully great!

  • People who give this performance a thumbs down should be sent to North Korea to learn the art of discipline!

  • @DaveyLynch Or just given a better mouse. I'm guessing most, if not all, of those 24 are mistakes.

  • PG is one of the greatest artists ever. Obvious, from whom his daughter has the talent. She's got a fantastic voice.

  • Peter, I think is a creative genius when it comes to creating unique atmosphere in his concerts. It started early with Genesis, then he had his break from the band and found himself creatively as a solo artist even though it took a couple years. If you ever have a chance to see him live....he doesn't disappoint. Just another song in which he puts his special twist to live. Can't wait until he goes into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Brovo Peter.

  • Two real artists in one of their best shows ever seen... great, just great!

  • upside down she looks like a fucking treasure troll

  • Why do people rate this thumbs down? This song is brilliant.

  • Again, this song always makes me feel good. Whenever I am feel lost this one brings the "down sideup" I am hypnotized by Melanie's voice. I could not imagine anybody voice but hers singing this song

  • very clever stage production.. I wish I had his creative streak! Nice vocals from Melanie

  • Preciosa Melanie-Una voz de Angel.

  • @nenamounstro es esta!!! la busqué como peter gabriel y melanie gabriel de cabeza jajaja

  • That was a total and fantastic performance! Great for Peter and his daughter.

  • What DVD was this?

  • Great music!!! Wish there would be more of it nowadays!!

  • I have the DVD of this show it`s worth every penny....

  • Peter Gabriel is bar-none the one of the most creative and innovative musicians and entertainers anyone will see anywhere and if i was ever that lucky to be able to go see him i would do so in a instant no matter what the price or place.

  • Fucking Amazing! Peter Gabriel Rules !

  • The rig starts moving at 3:37 which means 15 seconds.

  • he has a few songs where he whistles, id love him to do a 5 minute song with him just whistling, Gabriel is a poet and an absolute genius.

    one of the uk's best artists

  • DSU -- in that same field... as children... we children ALL knew "string theory" better then any man.

  • i wonder if anyone has ever done a stunt like this in a live concert before? pretty cool

  • I'm amazed on how fast they're attached to that rig... From 3:22 to 3:42... 20 Seconds!

    Amazing song too ofcourse.

  • thank you Mr. Gabriel, for your awesomeness

  • The first time I saw them hanging upside down, I was speechless. Such a fantastic idea, I didn't see it coming. But should've expected it, the whole concert was an amazing and inventive performance.

  • exquisite

  • La mela non è caduta molto lontano dall'albero!!!

  • shes not only beautiful, but a nice singer too

  • Unbelievable - and Peter Gabriel is a genius.

  • This is sooo amazing....Peter gabriel is amazing and produced another great singer.. Wish i would have seen him live!!!! But have seen ALL his concerts, and the best one is the one with talk to me and the phone booth...might have been in berlin not sure

  • Italy.

  • This is definitely one of the best Peter Gabriel concerts I've seen (although I haven't seen all of them, so I don't know lol).

  • his daughter is an amazing singer.

  • Having Tony Levin playing on his music is such a stroke of genius!

  • Moving song. She has such a lovely voice.

  • I've been listening to this song a couple of times a day for about two weeks now. Instead of getting sick of it (this usually happens when you listen to a song to often) it seems to get better every time i hear it. It's driving my girlfriend a little grazy, though ;-)

  • i love this guy more than coldplay

  • ha ha! yeah. who doesn't?

  • Youngdean007 ... you don't like it...carry your ass somewhere else then...

  • thanks alinarria

  • zseniális!

  • He's got to be a proud father.

  • Melanie looks so much like her dad when he was young...amazing just what this wizard can do...

  • class

  • One of my favs...saw him live in the 80's and he was ahead of his time then! Still is!! Awesome...and Melanie is great in this too...lovely voice. :)

  • Little did I know that when I saw Gabriel with Genesis in the early 70's that 40 years later he'd be better than ever!

  • incredible !!! what a great idea to illustrate this song !!!

  • Love the guitar/keyboard accompaniement throughout the song... !  Gorgeous!!!

  • Melanie....

  • FABULOUS! Can't stop watching this!!

  • Gabriel..the legend.totally fearless,one of my heroes!

  • @splicer45 Same here.

  • Absolutely marvelous...

  • muy grande será Peter Gabriel pero su hija no le llega ni a los talones a Elizabeth Frazer.

    Es de otro nivel.

  • this my song. i own it. you can't have it...ok i'll let you listen

  • Awe inspiring!

  • Absolute GENIUS! The man has been inventing, breaking, reinventing the rules of performance art since 1970.... I'm speechless!

  • totally agree, the guy just amazes me, by the way im drinking a great wine as i write this!

  • The more I watch this video, the more Peter amazes me; just like a great wine, he gets better with age.

  • Melanie has a great voice too !

    I love it when they sing together..

    One word for this video ...amazing !

  • wow, singing really upside down... quite an achievement!!

  • She's certainly no Elizabeth Fraser, but it takes a great nerve and strong brain to firstly walk downside up on that thing and then sing to!

    I know what it's like to hang upside down and spin 60 feet above the buildings of London but you wouldn't get me on that rig!

  • I agree, Manu Katche was the best live drummer Peter ever had. The new guy is ok but he doesn't have the same touch and ears Manu had.

  • Best DVD ever, especially this song 'Dowside up'.

    Peter Gabriel truly knows how to standout.

  • Oh Peter~ how I love thee! WHEW! Thanks for the post mate!

  • Wonderful - simply wonderful!

  • grosoo total! el mejor video musical que vi en mi vida!!! increible!

  • love this.... i have this concert on dvd... the only complaint I have is that the drummer sucks the fat one, and he couldn't get Sledgehammer right!! He fails!

  • I loved the drummer who performed on the Secret World tour. That guy was amazing.

  • is one of my favorites songs

    they are amazing!
