Peter Gabriel
Jul. 25th, 1987 08:00 pmSo was a pretty big album. It sounded pretty good, and I liked some of Gabriel's other songs, like "Solsbury Hill", "Games Without Frontiers" and "Shock the Monkey". Nobody else was really interested in going, except Bill's sister, Becky. We paid $16.50 for bleacher seats.
Youssou N'dour was on first. An African pop star. Good show.
Gabriel's was a very cool show. He did all of his hits, and quite a few more I didn't recognize, but I liked it all. His music is not something that takes a while to warm up to. You either like it or you don't, and you like it right away.
There were rails running around the sides and back of the stage, with light towers on them. They were like stands, with a large, counterbalanced arms on them. At the top of the arm was a head with lights hanging from it. They were big, and would reach well out over the stage. They could be positioned for different songs, or they would animate and participate in the theatrics. During one song, the four of them, were "attacking" Gabriel, swinging down on him, and chasing him into each other.
The band was Tony Levin (bass), David Rhodes (guitar), Manu Katche (drums) and David Sancious (keyboards).
