About second unknown track: What lies ahead

https://www.setlist.fm/setlist…akow-poland-2bb9d4ea.html

So we have a long setlist (23 tracks for a Gabriel’s rock show are much more than what I was expecting). But what intrigues me, it’s we have 11 new songs performed (counting obviously Playing For Time/Love Can Heal/White Lies Ahead because they’re all in the new final version that we’ll find on the new album).

And it’s very interesting how “So” it is still so predominant (I didn’t expected this after 3 years of “So” dedicated tours), and “Up” and “Us” equally represented (2 tracks each) and only 2 songs pre-1986. All of this is pure admiration from my point of view: it’s not so common, finding artists with almost 50 years of career, NOT hiding behind the “greatest hits” comfort zone - ignoring the most recent production to please the audience (and the promoters), but taking the risk of performing 50/60% of the concert with the new material in which they believe in, and the rest, selecting not from the “golden age for most” but from their recents album. So glad of this!

Like much of Peter’s career, very worthy and admirable but I’m not sure it’s what I want to see if I’m honest. I’m not after more hits as such, but a bit more from the first four albums.

Anyway, I’m glad I’m going and I’m sure I’ll enjoy it but I am a little disappointed so far. Hope all those who went tonight had a great time.
