I have been really enjoying Peter Gabriel's latest album, i/o, which for me, was the best album of 2023, by far. Definitely check it out if you have not already. I previously posted a show from Gabriel's most recent concert tour (i/o tour), which contained many songs from the new album. So, today, I thought I would go back to the early days of Gabriel's solo career and post a show from the late '70's. So, this is a show from 1978, featuring songs from Peter's first 2 solo albums, and a dynamite band (Tony Levin Jerry Marotta, Larry Fast, Sid McGinnis). Actually, this is a compilation of performances from 2 nights (4 sets) at the Roxy in West Hollywood, CA USA, compiling the best recordings from those 2 nights, as taped and selected by master taper, Mike Millard. Thus, we get a slightly longer, enhanced version of the show, as not all these songs were played at each show, but here we get them all. Very interesting to go back to hear Gabriel at this stage of his career and these earlier album shows, prior to the bulk of his solo artist success. A wonderful trip back to those earlier days of this magnificent artist, who is still going strong more than 45 years after these shows. For now, I'm just posting the mp3 version of the show (due to filesize sharing site issues), but if there is interest, I can also post the Lossless version.
