Notes: The first single from the US album was once again a contrasting programme. Instead of producing a "beautiful" video, Gabriel created something aggressive and disturbing. In addition, the song hardly had any straightforward sound elements, but instead wobbled and pumped forward with rather unusual sounds. Digging In The Dirt soon became a live classic - the song probably had its best live version on the Growing Up Tour, as the greatest energy and force was transported there. Visually, the Secret World Tour was the highlight for this song. It has, unsurprisingly, returned to the set during the i/o tour in 2023. |
