Question There is a version of "In Your Eyes" that was done with Afro Celt or some middle eastern group, there was a video of it ,as I remember, and it got quite a lot of radio play, what album is that on.
Answer Hi Ann -
As far as I know, there was never a recorded version of 'In Your Eyes' with Afro Celt Soundsystem. On the tour supporting "So" (which included 'In Your Eyes'), Youssou N'Dour, the gentleman whose vocals are present on the album version, opened for PG and joined him onstage for IYE every night. At certain shows, there were other African musicians and dancers and the song became a wonderful celebration.
Unfortunately, there was no live album made from that tour, but there was a tour movie, called "P.O.V." which is long out of print, but is on schedule to be released on DVD eventually. A shorter video of that performance (unfortunately, they excised Youssou N'Dour's solo verse) aired on VH1 and other video channels, and you can see that here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sWvzKARJG8.
Last year, it was rumored that P.O.V. would be out on DVD for Christmas 2007. I haven't heard anything since then, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Please let me know if you need further information.
