This performance of In Your Eyes is the single best thing Peter Gabriel has ever done in my opinion - a magnificent song, a historic occasion, and it's enhanced enormously here by the pan-African ensemble of Senegal's Youssou N'Dour, Beninese singer Angelique Kidjo and the marvellous Soweto Gospel Choir. As a joyful ethnological love-in to honour the beloved President Nelson Mandela (R.I.P.), this could scarcely be bettered!
Absoletuly touched by this version with Youssou. I've followed Peter since Genesis, well before his participation in the Human Rights Concert at the River Plate Stadium in 1988, with Sting, The Boss, Tracy Chapman, etc., which I attended, up to date (I am 62 and I'm sorry for my bad command of the English language, being an Argentinian; please do forgive me). Peter's voice is like the greatest wines: it gets better and better as time goes by. A truly genius. Period. Thank you UK for bringing to the World a pletora of artists that helped us cope with the worst periods of my generation.
I'm listening it now on 3 June in South Africa. Just fitting after our national election. Somehow it felt like 1994 as if Mandela was here. He said South Africa unite🙏♥️💪
Peter Gabriel released this song in 1986. It became instantly, for me, the very ideation of that special someone I was looking and waiting for. I carried it with me for many years, always a favorite....and always looking...for those eyes.
I was feeling so sad the morning after my husband died. I turned on Pandora - I hadn't had a chance to enter artists I liked but Salsbury Hill came on and I felt a rush that went right through me. I said "if this is you it's all I need" to know he was okay. He was a Gabriel fan from the beginning. I absolutely love "In Your Eyes". It touches on every level.
I was lucky enough to attend this exceptional work of art in Argentina on October 15, 1988 when I was very young. Thank you Youssou N'Dour, thank you Peter Gabriel for what you have given us, forever.
I seen Peter Gabriel at Great Woods and it was one of the best concerts I have ever seen. Very theatrical and so entertaining. A true showman and entertaining singer.
