Secret World Live (film)
1994 video by Peter Gabriel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Secret World Live is a film assembled from two Peter Gabriel concerts in 1993, as part of his Secret World Tour to support his sixth solo album, Us. The show is performed across two stages: a square and a circular stage, bridged by a conveyor belt. It was released on VHS, LaserDisc and DVD. An album of the same title with a similar track listing was also released.
