manu katche / tony Levin

[verbod]

Merci à Robert Lepage !

[letekro]

Peter Gabriel seems like a cheeseball to me (nice outfit!) and is in that sort of Sting/music for yuppies category, but man, Manu makes these songs so darn interesting. And I suspect Levin's prodigious talent is partially responsible for pushing him to the heights he reached on this tour.

[twozero9]

how does beaujames59 know what gay pornstars look like?

[funkfanNo1]

Manu Katche. Over-Rated. For all of you who are jizzing over him and claiming him to be the greatest drummer ever, see Mr Dave Weckl, Mr Vinnie Colaiuta and Mr Teddy Campbell.....

[dragonsrightwing]

@funkfanNo1 -

Those who can, do - those who can't, sit around and criticize / disrespect on YouTube.

I think it likely that Mr. Weckl, Mr. Colaiuta, and Mr. Campbell (along with Mr Bruford, Mr. Mastelotto, Mr. Alan White, Mr. Bozzio, Mr. Wackerman, and a whole host of others) would be embarrassed to be associated with your comment ...

Your YouTube privileges are suspended until you gain some manners!

[CHC4669]

@funkfanNo1 Manu has more soul and feeling then Weckl and Vinny both put together. His idea's just flow.. He has a style all his own and doesn't sound like any other drummer. That alone allows him to stand above the others. Add to that he can play it all from funk to jazz and rock and still shine. He's not just a drummer but a truly gifted musician. The drummers you've mentioned are all great of course but Manu Katche has a spirit I don't hear in the others. He touches the soul.

[plecain]

@CHC4669 I may agree with you on the Weckl thing. But Vinnie is a monter...a monster with soul. I'd say from that time frame...Manu and Vinnie stood above the rest.

[CHC4669]

@plecain I like Vinnie and I respect his chops but there are so many drummers more feel then Vinnie. As good as he was with Sting the band sounded so much better with Omar Hakim who is so much more expressive. I mean Vinnie has his licks but Omar is so much more creative and expressive within the music. With Weckl and Vinnie it's as if you know what their gonna do before they do it. The slick licks are fine but that's not what inspires me to play drums. It's how one interprets the music.

[plecain]

@CHC4669 We'lljust have to disagree on Vinnie, then. And thats not to say I don't agree with your other thoughts. I loved Omar with Sting and he brought his own feel to that band. But a totally different sound to Sting at the time with Branford, Kenny Kirkland, and Daryl Jones. You can't really compare.  I also agree on Weckl...great chops and monster technician...not a lot of feeling for me. I'd rather listen to Kenny Aronoff who showed litlle in the way of chops but great feel and time.

[babacool81]

@funkfanNo1 you re forgetting Steve Gadd! Talk about soul when he plays!!

[sitatthetable]

Awesome video!! Did you ever wonder who the woman is in this video? She has a fabulous voice and is the perfect choice for this song. Her name is Paula Cole.

[superjmutt]

I'm not sure what all of the animosity is, or why this is so tough for people. Manu is an amazing musician, as is Mr. Gabriel. However, the audio track is clearly from some other concert than the video track. I personally don't give a rat's ass about live video unless I can see what a musician is actually doing in the audio track.

[owl199]

@superjmutt too less sex, too less R&R, but too much drugs.Make a CTRL+ALT+DEL for your brain and restart your life again,but not as musician,it´s not your job.

[punkypants1]

3 crackheads didn't like this

[szelf1]

good quality !!!!!!!!

[hellfaro]

Manu Katché on drums : one of the best world performer !

Awesome performance of all the band !

[Equinoxz78]

Damn Tony Levin played with my SVT-4 at the Quebec city Summer fest some years ago.. But the only bad think is... He didn't sign my head !! I will call him Groovy Tony! hehe

[bobchat1]

Hard to believe this was 17 tears ago! I had 2nd row seats and the show was amazing! No video can recreate the magic at a PG concert, if he tours in your town go see him, no matter the cost. And for those who think they are not really playing, well they never went to a PG show before. That is just professional video editing, used for the packaged DVD videos. Watch some of the audience uploaded camcorder footage of these shows on YouTube, and you'll see how it really was at the shows.

[steve3dqe]

@superjmutt - you are wrong. This is not pre-recorded. I've seen Tony Levin more than any other musician. With Yes (ABWH), King Crimson, Peter Gabriel, HoBoLeMa, etc etc. He could do this gig and this sound in his sleep. You will continue to believe whatever it is you think you're seeing here, but don't bring it here, or any where else where there are intelligent people. You're embarrassing yourself.

[superjmutt]

If any of you think that this is the same audio as this particular video....well, let's just say that it must be pleasant to have the level of perceptive capabilities as yours that it doesn't interfere with your enjoyment as it does for me.

[Frankygenesis]

C'est magnifique.....

[saadatorama]

lol.

[djangoodman]

@superjmutt I am sorry my friend but you are obviously wrong. Everyone uses prerecorded stuff, but the drum is still live as well as all the other instruments and vocals on this concert. What kind of musician are you if you think that Manu Katche is faking here??? He is not faking at all!!! This is one of the best concerts of all time and shame on you if you can only talk like this. You are unaccaptable not this show!!! Peace

[papareitor]

Tony and Manu breathing life into elevator music!

[turntapzap]

Paula!

[apathymusic]

Fantastic DVD!

[obsidiansands1]

Paula Cole is looking yummy in that black dress- sorry to be a pig, but she is. Audio is out of sync on the original video as well. Have had it since 1994.

[Zebogevo2]

Brother, youre not a pig for finding her yummy. You are human...and with good taste!

[zanderzoot]

There's nothing pig-like about that mate, she is beautiful and she sings just as beautifully.

[Rafcyk]

@zanderzoot Even in those stupid boots...

[zanderzoot]

@Rafcyk

Mate, ESPECIALLY in those boots!

[superjmutt]

Well, on the audio track he's doing a roll at the end of the tune and on the video he's all over the cymbals. They used audio from a different night.

[intrepgun]

many live dvds/recordings use the best snips from various tapes concerts. it's nothing secretive, just trying to get the best and most appropriate parts to kind of sum up the tour or just to get what they want out there. apart from that, peter has been using many backing tracks since the early days. don't get bent out of shape about it. it's still manu and it's still peter and tony and it's still a great performance.

[superjmutt]

Um, still complete bullshit. If you think that's acceptable fine. It's not for me. I am a musician and I watch video to actually see how musicians play certain licks and riffs--not just to jack it. I think it's totally unacceptable. And lame. I'm not bent out of shape--just that it sucks. The UP concert was similarly lame as most of it was pre-recorded. I think that's unacceptable as well. Lame.

[djangoodman]

@superjmutt Are you really suggesting here that you are a better musician and live performer than Peter Gabriel`s band? Wow! What is your name? Who are you? Show me how great musician you are! I am not gonna start arguing with you because it would be truly pointless. You are a jerk!

[russdonruss]

@superjmutt I understand the confusion here, however you are 100% incorrect in your assumption that the music was pre-recorded or tracked. The video footage was taped over a series of nights in the same venue. During the editing and post-production for the video, a master audio track of one performance was selected as the "best" in terms of sound and performance and the video clips were done likewise. The end result is a video composition which in many places fits and in a few does not.

[russdonruss]

@russdonruss You'll find this is typical in many "live" videos. Especially when they are trying to accomplish a major video production with numerous camera angles and super-high quality. I am a drummer myself and love Manu Katche--I believe he is the best drummer Peter Gabriel ever had. I too noticed that the video and his playing were not synced. Chalk it up to post-production editing. Manu was still playing --phenomenally, I might add-- and the vid editing doesn't take away from that.

[sagewah]

@intrepgun "Technically known as cheating" ;)

I was lucky enough to see this tour, pressed right up against the stage - if they were faking it, then more power to them; it would have been easier to just perform than it would have been to cheat that convincingly.

[superjmutt]

This video is complete bullshit--it isn't recorded at the same concert as the audio track. Just watch Manu and you'll see that he's not playing exactly what is on the audio track. What gives?

[elmerexpress]

I didn't see that? What I DID see was a lack of sync between sound and picture that you find far too often on youtube. What I mean here is that every sound to me seems to have its corresponding movement, but out of time. Live concerts will usually have an element of improvisation that is large enough to ruin the idea of combining two concerts. The developing songs would simply part too much. Peter Gabriel would never allow that to happen. He is just way too quality conscious.

[standupstella]

There is a programmed track in addition to his live drumming. This is a live performance. His live drumming only comes in after a minute or so. Then he drops out for about 30 seconds before coming back in.

[MEqwed]

good job

[nitedrive]

Love Pete; but the Tree reminded me of the 'Stonehenge' scene from ST.

[ord1711]

Peter Gabriel said the same thing; he was expecting a much bigger tree. (This is from the commentary track on the DVD.)

[BeauJames59]

Tony Levin is a wonderfully talented guy who just happens to look like a gay pornstar.......

[erikimba]

why do you know gay pornstars? : S

[BeauJames59]

(smile) Not personally, but I LOVE Mexican women...........

[drsteve0487]

Tony Levin....looking the same today as he did 30 years ago. A bit like Richard O'Brien. Bald men don't seem to age

[richnfamous59]

@BeauJames59 lol, you're dead right!

[AnonymousCowardX]

Quite boring actually

[gormarx]

Fuck you, faggot.

[TrejosEd]

In fact his name says everything "Anonymous Coward"

What can we expect?

[gormarx]

Amen. Nothing easier than sitting in his momma's basement and spitting on people's efforts to help others and do something significant - AND make this fantastic music at the same time.

[turntapzap]

That's one hell of a buzzy synth sound Mr. Levin gets on that upright.

God love him.

[SongoPanama]

One of the best rhythm sections "LEVIN - KATCHE"

[itadrummer1]

yeah brother the two of them are just INSANE !!!!!

I love Manu', he is one of my heroes!!!!!

[gormarx]

Saw this live... and nothing ever came even close after that.

[DocLibertos]

So did I

[llamaluva888]

manu kache is awesome and tony levin is awesomer!

[Bfaile2323]

You got that right Artgardenfunckle! I'm sure guillermotricantino, while probably a guy, is just jealous. What a bizarre comment.

[ArtGardenfunckle]

Nobody is ugly!

[guillermotricantino]

The woman singer is very ugly, so tall and with man´s voice

[tacomeet]

hey its paula cole before she went nuts and quit shaving...

manu is the man

[reisencub]

I caught this show at the Tacome Dome on July 8'th 1993 - a day after my 27'th birthday. WHAT A SHOW. I had/have seen many, many great concerts in my life, but this one was special.

Very, very special.

[RubinOotes]

I don't know if its true but I think this Secret World registration is the best musical thing ever, The band, the nr 1 musicians of the world, this gig, the songs, the visuals. Not even Peter himself could come close to this later on in his career. I know.. there is so much good stuff out there, but this is even a bit better. Wow.

[sharethemusic]

ive seen 1000 shows..this was top 10

[Fabionkeman]

Amazing!!

[ceazea]

I wish I could of seen this tour. One of my favorite songs solo. For those old Genesis fans like myself the vocal thing at the end of this song reminds me of a few songs he did that vibrato thing on. I this it was on The Lamb? I am sure someone knows what I am talking about. What a rhythm section.

[MyNameIsBucket]

Yeah, he did it at the end of "Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging". You can hear it better live on the first box set.

[ladywithtime]

Peter Gabriel. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm

[rauna84]

paula cole is the female singer ? wow she is so pretty

[jawadahmad77]

Whose the guitarist in the band??

[WOSUColumbus]

David Rhodes

[regorgnow]

fantastic band. Levin is god!

[bstupidass]

Cool beat, love the singing too.

[cannobbio89]

the sound of manu katche is amazing

[jawadahmad77]

Totally agree!! My drummer tried out his signature yamaha drums and they sound really good.

[JonasOfSweden]

Tony Levin played with Liquid Tension Experiment aswell, thought i recognized his face:P Great music anyway!

[ladywithtime]

And King Crimson ....

[jjdrummerboy]

uhh fyi, it says so in the "about this video" section that it's from the secret world tour. lol

[Dantefire]

I'm pretty sure this is off the secret world live concert, one of the best concerts ive ever seen footage off. Totally perfect performances from everyone involved.

I really must buy this on DVD, lost my VHS copy a long time ago.

[mouila]

Il est quand même mieux ici le Manu!!

[sdballerslashdrummer]

This is just such a good performance. You can see it in their faces. They like being up they're, always smiling. That makes it twice as good.

[illcollins]

and i think thats l. shankar on electric violin.

[IMCOnAir]

you're right. L. Shankar became famous playing the double neck violin, and was member of John McLaughlin's Mahavishnu Orchestra (Shakti Project)

[Oneness100]

Actually, L. Shankar wasn't part of Mahavishnu, he was part of original Shakti as well as One Truth Band. Mahavishnu used as lead violinist Jerry Goodman, Jean Luc Ponty, and then Steve Kindler (all excellent players!). L. Shankar has several hard to find solo albums under the ECM label. Great player, check him on Handful of Beauty with Shakti. Great album!!

[gsclose]

The woman is not Peter's daughter - that's Paula Cole. Touring with PG is where she got her break.

[nauggets]

this is really old school headies

[TrueScience]

like some skunk #1

[Philtertip]

Does it get any better than this? Gabriel.... Levin... who's the woman? What a great song... Thanks

[bono907]

the woman is the daughter of Peter ... Great voice

[Martini1969]

Sorry, the girl is Paula Cole; Melanie Gabriel sings this song on the DVD "Still growing up"...

[pulsating123]

sorry, its paula cole, and bono is a fucking poser chode muncher, just so you know

[AgentBuchwald]

Now hold on right there. You are wrong about Bono. He is not a fucking poser chode muncher as you insist. He is a knob gobbling, ball gargling, shit eating, butt fuckin', self absorbed, fucking poser chode muncher. Get it right! :)

[pulsating123]

i stand corrected! did you see that southpark that made fun of him? classic.

[fretlessphantom2000]

watch your language

[Martini1969]

The girl is Paula Cole...

[bono907]

Okay thx, i didn't recognize her ;)

[rogeralcantara]

that was awesome! tony levin groovin like there's no tomorow! awesome!

[lammyb]

jooooooooo da's niet niks!
