presentation, but the rising star was Ane Brun who is simply brilliant in "Don't Give Up". Incredibly Peter sounds stronger than in previous albums, his voice is much more powerful There are songs that become quite a nuisance over the years, and it is mainly because they have been played far too often. In Your Eyes is one of these – Peter Gabriel apparently found it impossible to leave it out of a live set ever since the first played it on the This Way Up tour to promote So. The New Blood concept offered an opportunity to at least turn the song upside down. The orchestra alternated between dominant, unruly passages and sedate, gentle verse. It is quite refreshing not to have to expect the shenanigans of the live show. So we do not lift our arms before the chorus but listen spellbound to the arrangement and Peter's vocals. Compared to other songs on New Blood he sings this one in quite a contained manner. A song that did not always live up to its full potential. During the tour in autumn 2010 it was right in the middle of the New Blood set, while it even was the opening song in London. This was quite fitting for the show, as the song is not quiet and calm, and so, usually, is the beginning of each concert. The studio version is all the better, though. One has time to listen to it all and enjoy full glory of the distracted intruder sounds combined with excellent vocals. With its breaks and starts, loud and quiet passages, Intruder works better than live. Mansfield, Brian (11 October 2011). "Peter Gabriel, New Blood". USA Today . Retrieved 29 April 2013.

What was particularly intriguing about Mercy Street live was the beginning, which was almost percussive. The rhythm has much more class than the kind of fuzzy begining of the studio version. Gabriel sings the first lines with a slight delay, stretching the words, as it were. One may have the impression of listening to a slide guitar in the second verse. It is most impressive how compact and varied an orchestra can sound. Austriancharts.at – Peter Gabriel – New Blood" (in German). Hung Medien. Retrieved 28 October 2021.

Originally three minutes of silence were to separate "Solsbury Hill", but it was thought this would confuse people, and Gabriel decided that "A Quiet Moment" would work better.The bass plays an important role in the original and in the orchestral version, too, though it sounds less massive. Both voices are carried by subtle string arrangements. A bit of piano comes in by the second verse and some rhythmic instruments while Ane Brun sings the bridging verse. The original version of the song with Kate Bush is considered the standard by which all other versions are measured. However, Ane Brun as his new co-vocalist is a real find. Though they both sing very well on the album they do not reach the intensity of the New Blood live shows. New Blood Live In London will capture all the vibrancy of the gigs with their huge onstage screens with graphics and animation. The concerts were filmed in using 3D cameras and directed by Blue Leach. This song was one of the live highlights. Many could not imagine how this song could work with an orchestra. It is most interesting to listen to the details on the album version where, of course, everything is crystal clear and every nuance is distinct. The multi-purpose venues certainly did not enhance this song with their less than perfect acoustics. The terrific finale of the song is identical to the live version, but far more intense: An absolute hammer right in the beginning. This was the opening song for the second part of the concert. It comes from Peter's popular fourth album and brought on much applause at every show. The studio version is as intense as the live experience. As with The Rhythm Of The Heat it is worthwhile paying attention to how the instruments were arranged. Only at the end of the breathing sequence does the listener miss the visual effect from the live show a bit.
