Apparently the single was released 35 years ago today. Just heard this again - and still don't think this remix was a good idea.
What do you think?

You think he'll make another European tour in 2024 to promote I/O ?
I think it was the Stick Men manager who "revealed" that Peter has blocked Tony Levin for quite some time in 2023 and 2024. Pretty sure Peter will continue in 2024.

Yeah I guess it really depends how many tracks will be on i/o. He’ll release every one on a full moon and only after that will the physical album come. It’ll definitely be after the tour. If you’re right and it’s November, that makes 12 tracks (there are two full moons in August 🙂).
I don't think it's this year. More likely it will come in spring 2024. Before the next tour leg starts. I am pretty sure he will finish this year's moon cycles and then decide what will be on the album.

same setlist in Amsterdam (as in Bergen)

Manu Katche said that the album will be released in 2023, but has Peter actually stated that himself? Us and Up were both released in September (1992 and 2002). I don’t think i/o will be released before all of the tracks on it have been unveiled via each full moon — there would be no point in releasing ‘singles’ after that point. So i/o will either have fewer tracks than we all think (9 or 10) and be out in September 2023, or it may not come out until 2024…
it won’t be out by September - that would require a lot of promo activity and vinyl pressing schedules etc. impossible. And he’s on tour then.

Watcher Of The Skies was added today as well

We have also added a new track article for Road To Joy here

PETER GABRIEL - Digging In The Dirt
Year: 1992
Album: US
Working title:
Credits: Gabriel
Lyrics: Yes
Length: 5:18
Musicians: Peter Gabriel, David Rhodes, Katie May, Manu Katché, Brian Eno, Melanie Gabriel
Played live: 1993, 1994, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2023
Cover versions:
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. -
Interesting to see that Love Can Heal isn't on that possible tracklist above. I remember Peter specifically saying himself in his Empire magazine interview that Love Can Heal would be on the album.
Love Can Heal was registered in 2016, together with Radio Everyone and Rock Paper Scissors. That's why it doesn't appear in that list above, which contains recently added tracks.
-
Could really Show yourself be the same song of the 2012/14 tour? I think Why don't you show yourself must have been registered year ago, before the Back to front dvd. Or not?
that’s what I wrote several posts before.
so it’s either a completely new version or a different song -
An a Short version has also been launched
-
Full moon video has arrived
-
First few vocal lines reminded me of Burn You Up, Burn You Down
-
Yes it’s obvious that pre 2011 material has been dropped from i/o, so Baby Man might come out in a different setting. He has also released some older material over the years such as I‘m Amazing. He also mentioned a different version of Nocturnal a long time ago. So that is no longer material for i/o.
Still hope we’ll get to hear Rock Paper Scissors and Radio Everyone as well. Those were rehearsed in 2016.

No setlist changes, same as in Stockholm
-
So Bergen tonight. Let’s see if there are changes in the setlist
-
Why do all of the posted set lists list "Here Comes the Flood" as "Washing of the Water"?
What do you mean? Have you attended the show in Copenhagen?
