Peter Gabriel's first solo tour, with a great band in tow. Television opened the show (see separate torrent for their set). The first album the tour supported was a surprise to Genesis fans and the tour even more so, moving away from his previous group's more prog rock tendencies.
The covers in this show may have been the most interesting part of the set. Marvin Gaye's "Ain't That Peculiar" and the Kinks "All Day And All Of The Night" were both very faithful to the original versions and only "Back In NYC" provided a look back at Genesis (who had played the same hall a month earlier). Robert Fripp's muscular playing (from behind a curtain just off the stage) was also a unexpected surprise, seeming a world away from King Crimson.
The tape came out great, location is everything. The first 15 seconds of track one sound a little rough, but then it sharpen's up nicely.

Sorry to post this here, but from Italy any page containing the LIX.IN extension is still stopped by the Web Police (because of suspected paedo-porno activity).
Thus any link from this site is no longer accessible.
Is there any other QB user who is experiencing this ? I can't find any discussion on the web.....
Thanks!

Nice that more solo Peter Gabriel shows seem to be making the rounds!

(I just d/l'ed an "historic"
Peter G. concert from a different site: a Womad show from Cornwall, England on 8-28-88 with some very interesting "special guests" from the 'world music' realm--unfortunately it is only available as mp3 files--i wonder if that one is available in better quality someplace!?)

Thanks for this one Dave. This, as most of them, looks like a good one.
