I missed the Seconds Out tour so guess I'll settle for this one.

I don't see available for pre-order anywhere in the US yet?
The 2 CD/BluRay version is on Amazon now, just ordered, $27.98.

Thanks for pointing this out. - Is fixed now.
(But I wonder how this could happen...)
I don't see a difference in SF and LA, what am I missing??

I think Peter Gabriel and his band have started their North American tour in Canada.
Is there anyone on the forum who has attended any of the concerts and can give us their impressions?
Is the set of songs the same, any news?
Have there been any pictures of the Quebec concert for example?
At what price is the merchandising?
Any other relevant questions ....
I got a shirt and a tour program.
Honestly, it's my first time seeing him and it was absolutely a fantastic show, so I really felt compelled to purchase a few momentos.
Having said all that, unlike the show, the merch was underwhelming in my opinion. The white t-shirt I got is a bit plain and quite frankly looks like a Jack-in-the-Box restaurant design from the front, and the tour book I thought lacked any history and could've included more pictures of the show and less space for his causes and artists behind the video presentations. But to each his own, nobody made me buy them.
Shirt was $50, book was $30. 1 merchandise stand in the entire arena, was hard to find and a long line but they were pretty good about moving through quickly.

I expect different formats and special editions. A deluxe box set will surely be an option …
I also wonder how they will deal with the different mixes. A bright side and a dark side edition in some form seems obvious. But then again … it’s Peter
Maybe even a live version at this point??

The Growing Up tour had those songs
Darkness
Growing Up
Sky Blue
The Barry Williams Show
More Than This
Signal To Noise
plus further new tracks:
Animal Nation
Downside Up
Father Son
No Way Out and My Head Sounds Like That were also played sometimes
later during that tour he also added The Tower That Ate People, White Ashes and Burn You Up Burn You Down.
So there also was a lot new material, althought nearly everything was available when the tour started.
As for the i/o tour, our sources say they did rehearse The Towe That Ate People and Shock The Monkey.
I doubt Peter will drop Darkness, as it is attached to Love Can Heal.
He played "The Tower That Ate People" tonight in Columbus. Got an extra song tonight!

"The Tower That Ate People" tonight between "This Is home" and "Sledgehammer"!

I did upgrade my tickets for a $10 fee at Ticketmaster, cut my distance to the stage in half once they started dropping prices. Found tickets for the same price I already had much closer now than when they went on sale.
-
Those of you who have gone, is this a largely sit-down audience or a stand on your chair all night or somewhere in between?
Thinking of trying to get better tickets on the floor but I'm old and fat and my friends are short and not sure any of us want any sort of standing for hours on end
. -
I have checked some of the venues recently as well and I think they will start offering cheaper tickets in August. Tickets cost even more in NA (compared to Europe). I hope they will manage to sell enough tickets.
Maybe we can trade-up for better seats if that happens. I think Ticketmaster will do that 1 time if you can find tickets at the same price or higher that you want and pay the difference for.

I just took a look at the seats for Denver, where I'll be going-it looks like it's about 2/3 full as of today. I wouldn't be surprised if more of that gets filled up over the next couple months! When I saw Phil Collins there in 2019, it was a packed house.
Anyway, I wonder if Peter's setlist during the US leg of his tour will be any different then it has been? I imagine he'll still do the same new songs, but I'm thinking perhaps he might switch an older song or two, like trade out Big Time for Shock the Monkey, or Digging in the Dirt for Games w/o Frontiers or something??
Phil switched up his setlist for the US legs of his tour, to include songs that were more popular in the US (like Don't Lose My Number and You'll Be in my Heart)...
Columbus OH remaining seats:

Man, just browsing shows to see what's still available, lots of tickets available at most US shows, especially the Tier-2 type of mid-sized cities.
Was this the case in Europe and a lot of last-minute sales??
-
Maybe he'll do what Tyler Childers did with his last album, put out a triple set with the same songs on each disc mixed differently.

No. 80 minutes is the red book official time, though you can squeeze more on. The longest commercially produced CD is(was?) a Herbert Von Karajan disc on Deutche Gramafon, 81 and a bit minutes BUT over 80 you are not allowed to display the "Compact Disc Digital Audio" logo as it's not to spec and may not play on all machines.
74 minutes was the limit back in the early days (till about 1988) due to the fact that, at that time, the only way of creating a portable master copy of the digital file was to copy it onto a Sony U-matic tape, using a video recorder and a PCM encoder. The CD mastering plant had to have the same equipment to decode it. The longest Sony U-matic tape? 74 minutes!
Good to know! I knew a CD-R could be either 74 or 80, and the 80's didn't always play in every player, so assumed 74 was the standard.

Isn't that how much music a standard CD can hold?
