Somehow, I was mostly unaware of the medicine of the "progressive rock" group Genesis, which was formed in the later 1960s, until its 1974 album.The title cut to The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway [listen] got a bit of airplay in this area. Shortly afterwards this album, lead singer Peter Gabriel left the group over personal and artistic differences, with Phil Collins taking over the lead vocals of Genesis.

Peter Gabriel (1980) ****

In my original review I claimed that all the drums were electronic, which on second thought isn't true - those are clearly real drums being played by Phil Collins on "Intruder". However, computerized drums are clearly being used on at least half the early tracks, and I don't wish to revision the entire review to factually correct a crucial sentence, so.

Mambo Taxi - Concert Reviews: Peter Gabriel, DJ Tiesto


So, 20 years ago, dan and I went to see Peter Gabriel play the Molson Amphitheatre near Toronto.

I haven't followed his music very close for the final few albums, but I have listened to enough Peter Gabriel over the days that I didn't need to overlook this opportunity. Thanks to my friend Justin who scored the tickets, we got excellent seats; about 10 or so rows from the stage.

Peter Gabriel brings orchestral act to . - Boston Music Spotlight

There`s no wonder that throughout his career Peter Gabriel has ever been in research of something new and different. From his flamboyant costumes in the 70′s, to his shocking departure from Genesis, to his current orchestral work, Gabriel has made some interesting decisions but managed to get success in each. Gabriel continued his successful streak with a mellow, yet captivating performance with the New Blood Orchestra at the Comcast Center on Friday.

Peter Gabriel Review

17 June 2011 | 2:13am

I make a lot of non-words in my mind right now.Like "Um" and "Er." Also, words that don`t think a lot anymore, like "Well," and "Hummmm."This is because Peter Gabriel`s concert has left me blissfully speechless. Words fail me, and it`s a safe thing.

First of all, I had THE Best Place IN THE ENTIRE PAVILION.I am not kidding.

Peter Gabriel will play Red Rocks tonight with a full orchestra rather than a traditional backing band. If that weren`t odd enough, it`s his first U.S. tour since the departure of his recent, rather disappointingalbum of cover songs "Scratch My Back.
