While Peter Gabriel still celebrates the 25th anniversary of So we are already celebrating the 20th anniversary of Us and examine how Gabriel's second most popular album holds up.
It was three years after the end of the tour for Peter Gabriel's most successful album that the accompanying concert film came out in 1990. It has never been released on digital media, but we still take a look at it.
The first Genesis album is largely unknown and not held in much esteem. This early work shows little of the style the band would develop.
The studio album New Blood is followed closely by the concert film from the tour. Peter Gabriel – New Blood Live In London was filmed during two shows that were scheduled specifically for the shooting at the Hammersmith Apollo in London in March 2011.
His first solo album was an new departure for Peter Gabriel. He was looking for styles, for his own way of expressing himself – and for trust in the music business. Not quite sure-footed, but large potential became visible.
Surprisingly in 2007 Peter Gabriel did a Tour through Europe – even if there was no new album to promote. The reason was his gig at the WOMAD Anniversary Concert.
From 2002 to 2004 Peter Gabriel with his album UP has been on the "Growing Up Tour" (which on the second half was called "Still Growing Up Tour"). We like to present an archive with all tourdates and setlists.
According to Dickie Chappell Cologne was the best show of the tour. Thomas Schrage was in the audience.
