@TheLittleDevil There is also a live version on Laurie Anderson's live album "Home of the brave", and there is a video from this show on Youtube. It's essentially her "Mr. Heartbreak"-Version, just without Peter Gabriel's voice, but backing singers instead, so one might not count it as an extra version.
Anyhow, I like Lauries rhythm track better than this one, though this version is still very good, too.

@mnaran thanks for the info.

@Cimbarius Laurie Anderson's version features Adrian Belew's guitar crunching.

I had no idea there was a video for this, and, although it's very 80's it's cool to see them both together

i prefer the original, but this is still brilliant!
-
don't like gabriel's mix, laurie's music is better
-
Laurie's version is titled "Excellent Birds".
-
interesting that this isn't on the "Play" DVD

Nice vid, but sound is way too low !!
I taped this off tv along time ago. The big deal about this vid at the time was the shadows were computer generated. There are two other versions of this song . One on a Laurie Andersons album and the other on Peter Gabrials. But this version is the best. Wish I had an audio version of this.

Laurie Anderson's version came out in 1984 on her MISTER HEARTBREAK album. Peter did his version on SO in 1986. Same vocal tracks, but different instrumentation.
