I really didn't want to make this new album all about the hits," Gabriel explained to Mark Blake. "So there's no ' Sledgehammer'... I was unsure at first about ' Red Rain' and about doing ' Don't Give Up' without Kate, but then it felt like it would fit. In the end it worked." [1]

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.

Writing for the Evening Standard, Pete Clark awarded the album four stars out of five and stated, "In typical Gabriel fashion obvious choices have been avoided: no Sledgehammer or Biko here. Instead, he and arranger/composer John Metcalfe have opted for songs that might best benefit from the grown-up treatment. Mostly, it is a great success." [12] Simpson, Dave (6 October 2011). "Peter Gabriel: New Blood – review". The Guardian . Retrieved 7 June 2012. 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. Never before has Gabriel made music that is more brilliant and clear than on New Blood. It is breathtaking to see how much an album that is, at its core, a kind of rehash of old classics and secret favourites, can sweep one away. Those who have seen Ben Foster at the shows may have an inkling how essential he was for New Blood to work. Every note is there, every change in the arrangements is well thought-out, variations are introduced in a tasteful manner, quiet passages inserted where they fit and other parts played loud where it makes sense. New Blood is a rollercoaster ride in dynamics and a very rhythmic offering even without drums and guitars. It is difficult to settle on favourites, and everybody will have their own. Red Rain is a strong contender, Rhythm Of The Heat anyway and even Darkness and Digging In The Dirt, two songs that worked only so-so in the concerts, have great merit here. What is missing? Biko and Secret World – New Blood must have come too late for them.

The album features a new song, "A Quiet Moment", which originated in his desire to separate " Solsbury Hill" – remade due to huge demand – from the rest of the album. 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.
