I will made a review very soon. It was a very big venue (25 000) inside the arena. It wasn’t the full stadium configuration (60 000). A wonderful evening. It wasn’t sold out : maybe 2000 places left….

One of my favourite track ! It’s wonderful on stage…
-
There are differences
Yes, it's definitely not a playback... !!!
-
Yes it’s a better mix ! I like it a lot.
-
His voice is gone.......the show is nothing special for the ticket 's price.
There were some difficulties - on the higher notes, according to the videos - but her voice is still very present.
-
Carpet Crawlers will be good but David Rhodes isn’t the ideal guitarist for this kind of song.
-
I don't know why but I'm thinking of a more daring setlist. The band is well renewed, the approaches seem to be different and Peter mentioned - in a laconic tone - some surprises in the setlist...
I'm not sure about Red Rain or Shock the Monkey.
-
Sorry, Christian, I didn't notice that last sentence before.
I must say that Peter's editorial policy is confusing in many ways.

A beautiful and haunting song. Brian Eno is back on keyboards...
I saw an interesting note in the youtube description of the song:
"As well as new music, Peter Gabriel is about to embark on a tour with dates in the UK, Europe and North America on sale now. livenation.com / petergabriel.com
Further details on the release plans for the full album will follow."

Wait and see...

So much new pictures on Tony Levin’s tour diary:

As Steve Hackett’s Genesis Revisited Tour, it’s always the same… still boring.

The album will eventually be released - probably next fall - while continuing the monthly releases. It's clear that Peter's priority is touring. Releasing an album comes later. These days, it's the tours that make money, not the albums unless you're Harry Styles, Beyoncé or Rihanna.
I feel like Peter is trying something different than he did with the UP release. The album was a relative failure in the US - only 600,000 sales - and the arena tour was underwhelming. From what I can see on Ticketmaster, the US tour should be a success this time (the tickets put on sale 7 months in advance are a factor!). Maybe a release of the album after the tour can help to federate more people?
...
Unless, he's not interested in success anymore but I'm not so sure!!!

Seeing Richard Evans busting out his flute again...Does that mean we're going to be hearing Mercy Street!? I'd be totes good with that (my daughter too)!
Mercy Street is one of his best but I prefer other choices...
-
Does he? Hard to tell, isn't it? We haven't seen him perform in 7+ years, but I also hope you are right.
I hope so too... Even if in the studio you can do whatever in order to magnify a voice, it seems that Peter doesn't use autotune. The I/O songs were mixed (presumably) last summer. We can easily be positive about the quality of his voice.
-
Peter has an exceptional vocal condition for his age...if you compare to Phil Collins. The vocal reinforcement can be useful if he runs out of steam during very rhythmic songs.
-
The bandcamp subscription is relatively disappointing. I think I'll stop.
-
A very "massive" but interesting band!
-
Ghost are a metal band, that's a very different style.
Of course you are right but still it looks to me like they simply made the wrong decisions (choosing Jesus...) and also, Mike is not really playing well. Keep in mind he played really well during the Last Domino Tour!
Mike played better - guitar - on the Last Domino Tour but on bass - and on Jesus - he played very well IMO!

Peter Gabriel at Lille in May.
