That venue was on my bucket list! But it’s 20+ years since I’ve first been to The Garden. And it was Peter Gabriel in 2002.
Whoever is going - enjoy. Quite possibly his last stop there ….?
Interesting article in the New York Post. Seems the MSG show was actually sold out in the end, this might explain why! Might be worth those of you in USA who don't have tickets yet to keep scouring the ticket sites as prices are coming down the nearer the gig date. You'll need to disable any ad blockers you have to read the article.
The show was near sold out months ago for NY ( like all dates in Canada or Boston, Philly, Chicago.., )
But yes not all cities
I don't quite understand why they sang Happy Birthday to Jimmy Carter. His Birthday is on 1st October ...? Was he in the audience? Can somebody explain?
Review with a ton of photos and videos

A great review with excellent photos...but someone needs to tell the staff of the site that there is a difference between Brooklyn (the borough of NYC) and Brookline (the town just outside Boston where Tony Levin is actually from).
Sorry, as someone born a few miles from Brookline, I remain proud of Tony as one of our great musicians.

I don't know for sure why...but Carter has been in hospice at home for a while now, with the presumption being that he may die at any moment. Perhaps Peter had heard something about his condition that made him want to send that message from the stage now (now being the NYC show) while Jimmy could still see a recording of it? Or maybe someone from Carter's family or office was there at the show and he knew they would be able to get a recording of the moment back to him?
Again, all speculation...but those are my guesses.
