What happens

Secret World Live is a film filmed in 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. The film received the 1996 Grammy Award for Best Long Form Music Video, honouring video director Francois Girard and video producer Robert Warr. On 11 March 2003 Secret World Live was digitally remastered in stereo, 5.1 surround sound and DTS on DVD. This version also featured bonus content such as the track "Quiet Steam", interviews, and a photo gallery. It was remastered again on DVD and Blu-ray on 2 July 2012 in the UK and 24 July 2012 in North America. The new release also contains the song "Red Rain", which was not present on the original releases. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
