Peter Gabriel " Growing Up Live in Milan" (audio rip)

Peter Gabriel é "O Cara!!!!!!"
Dito isso fica bem claro minha posição com respeito ao resto que orbitou ou orbita em torno dele, sou sim fã de carteirinha, me correspondi um tempo qdo dava e tenho uma profunda admiração por sua história como ser humano (tenho postado aqui se não me engano um disco feito por seu fã clube na itália e que me foi enviado por eles a pedido dele).

Muito se contou sobre ele e garanto que poucos sabem a verdade completa prq nem ele conta, e só os mais próximos conseguiram chegar aos detalhes mais sórdidos de uma relação que começou como amizade, virou amor e acabou em ódio.

Mas o pior ódio se podemos classificar assim, é aquele perpetrado por aqueles que odeiam algo ou alguém por inveja, por incompetência e por saber que nunca chegarão perto daquilo que faz o objeto de inveja e que o torna tão especial.

Bem, o Gustavo do blog Nas Ondas da Net gosta de postar uns sons que curto muito e tem uma variedade legal de Genesis, mas aí eu não consigo ficar sossegado enquanto não vou lá dar uns pitacos em seus posts e meter minhas patas onde não fui chamado e da última falávamos sobre este show.

Pra mim é um marco na carreira do Gabriel, ele estava há um tempo sem um show grande na europa e não sentia-se firme o suficiente pra fazê-lo qdo o produtor seu amigo apresenta a idéia de um palco único, totalmente desmontável e tb com tudo que se precisa saindo dele e etc e tal (só vendo pra quem ainda não viu).

O Peter pirou e disse a ele: Mas temos grana pra tanto?
Rs, esse é Peter Gabriel, e a resposta foi segura e tranquila: Diga sim que o resto eu resolvo.Peter Gabriel topou e deu no que deu, um show maravilhoso e que minutos antes do inicio ele pergunta se conseguissem pelo menos 10% dos assentos daquele estádio enorme ele já estaria feliz.
Tony Levin que está com ele desde seu primeiro trabalho qdo da saída do Genesis é tido por ele como "um dos músicos mais respeitados da terra" sorria pois sabia como os outros que a temporada estava toda vendida, as contas pagas e sobrando gente do lado de fora e que naquele dia de estréia estava superlotado sim como ele merecia e por isso guardaram segredo.

A parte mais emocionante pra quem conhece os detalhes (ao meu ver) é a entrada dele, e notar aquilo tudo em sua volta, ele parece uma criança num parque de diversões qdo é ovacionado pelo público e faz um show de arrepiar. O Gustavo ficou de postá-lo e então resolvi procurar só o áudio porque ganhei de presente da Luciana Aun em uma de minhas vidas e já até gastei de tanto ver e qual não foi minha surpresa ao não encontrar em mp3 pela net!

Claro que deve ter não achei, mas como não foi lançado em áudio não roda o show em mp3 ou flac, e daí resolvi provocar os amantes e os detratores dele, ripei meu dvd e pra aqueles que como eu queriam levá-lo no celular ou num portátil aí está com pouco menos de 200 mbs na íntegra faixa por faixa, sem os comentários e entrevistas e ainda com uma música bônus que não aparece no vídeo e nem consta da listagem do show, um desafio pra quem quiser e esperemos agora o vídeo do Gustavo pra completar a obra, mas se ele enrolar ele me paga,rs.Growing Up Live

Peter Gabriel - Live Concert DVD

Released : 03-Nov-2003

Growing Up Live captures the show over two days at the Filaforum in Milan.

Directed by Grammy nominated and BRIT Award winning Hamish Hamilton, the show was shot in high definition in state of the art 5.1 surround sound.

Twenty six cameras were used to capture the show, which once again brought together Peter and leading theatrical director Robert Le Page who also collaborated together on the ground breaking 'Secret World Tour' in 1993.User Reviews

A great production of a great concert

An excellent concert film. Looks like a full length concert. Lots of great performances and wonderful stagecraft.

The camera-work and direction makes you feel onstage most of the time.

I ran out and bought Still Growing Up and a host of other live concert films. This is still the best of the lot.
Pink Floyd's Pulse is another great film but, there the big stage and lightshow are primary. Here, the performers are primary and the stagecraft (while wonderful) is at the service of the music.

The sound is marvelous DTS 5.1. If you like this, you can continue the experience with Still Growing Up, which is from the same tour but in smaller venues.
Still, great performances with less stagecraft but it does jump from one location to another.

Perhaps it was a reaction to claims by fans and detractors alike that Peter Gabriel's previous live offering, Secret World Live, was really more “live" than live, that Gabriel decided to both offer up untouched soundboard recordings of each show on his summer tour and to quickly release a live DVD documenting a night on this European tour.

It would make sense—release the most raw audio footage in order to refute those who claimed Gabriel had to supplement his last live album with so much overdubbing that it really was more of a studio album than a true live album, then back it up with something visual. However, being true to himself, Gabriel reportedly did overdub some minor things—mostly in-between song talking, thankfully, as he spoke to the audience almost entirely in Italian (the concert was filmed in Milan, Italy) and a few minimal vocal overdubs in songs where needed. These are acceptable, as it's impossible to expect that a performance will go off perfect everytime with as much activity as a Gabriel concert typically features.

And what of the performance? Growing Up Live features Peter Gabriel and band in top-notch shape, deftly recreating his intricate studio material with ease and flair, and making subtle, tasteful changes where necessary. The presence of female vocals in Gabriel's work necessitates the need for a female vocalist at all times, a task Gabriel decided to bestow upon his daughter, Melanie. Reviews of her singing abilities were mixed, but as presented (and overdubbed) here, she is a fitting, if unremarkable, compliment to Gabriel's soulful wailings.SOMETHING ELSE! REWIND: Five favorites from the Peter Gabriel catalog, spanning both the obvious ("Big Time," “Shock the Monkey") and the more obscure ("Washing of the Water").

The set list concentrates on his newer material, heavily favoring his newest album at the time, Up, with a good deal of Us and So material, one track from Ovo, and an unreleased song ("Animal Nation," which wound up on the “Wild Thornberries" movie soundtrack, of all things.)

The show begins on a quiet note with a solo piano take on his overlooked “Here Comes the Flood," from his first album and the only song older than So besides the crowd-pleaser “Solsbury Hill."

This is a decidedly different tactic than Gabriel has used in the past, perhaps indicating that this will be a more intimate show. Known for his elaborate stage productions, Gabriel typically goes all out to make sure the event is more than just a concert.

This time, however, it seems more a struggle than a natural extension of the Peter Gabriel experience. Some tactics seem gimmicky and pointless—for instance, the band's drummer is covered up by a translucent tent during “Darkness"—and others seem hoky and too Vegas, such as when Gabriel and daughter Melanie suspend themselves upside-down on a hanging rig and run around that way for the majority of Ovo's “Downside Up." I get the concept, but it's this kind of circus-like atmosphere that detracts from a show's intimacy.

Melanie then climbs aboard a small boat during “Mercy Street" as the in-the-round stage circles the band, who are stationary in the static center circle. Yes, it illustrates the song, but it really seemed unnecessary.

Clever use of video-editing and effects, however, make the awkward and out-dated Up single “The Barry Williams Show" a visual feast that justifies the space on the setlist for this sub-par track. Gabriel works best when he's focusing on the emotion of the song, rather than making a spectacle, and dark, quiet tracks like “Sky Blue" and “Signal To Noise" from Up benefit greatly from this more understated treatment.

The Milan audience must be thanked, however, for pushing the perforance just slightly farther. While the editing, setlist, and band's performance assured the quality of at least the music would be high, the audience is so energetic and enthusiastic that they goad the band on to the level of stellar.

Responding with great roars of applause, or going completely silent, this is a rare thing—an audience that appears to actually know, in great detail, all of the artist's work.

Not only do they respond with great enthusiasm, they carry on, spontaneously echoing the chorus of “Animal Nation" as Gabriel introduces his band, and even anticipating “Sledgehammer" when only the slightest of hints of the song begin to converge together. It's an audience like this that makes a concert fun, and makes Growing Up Live a must-have release for even casual fans of Peter Gabriel.

Bonus material is minimal, but notable: “The Story of Growing Up," a short documentary on the making of the tour, Tony Levin's tour photography (which is accompanied by an unusual, stripped down version of “More Than This" that makes the set worth owning by itself,) and an interactive version of “Growing Up" for your computer.Diretor:Hamish Hamilton
