On heavy rotation

Wonderful album. Playing it a lot here too!

Still waiting for my copy (given that there is only one music medium that really does the job properly).
I’m 39 years old. I no longer kid myself that my ears can tell the difference :-)
Yes, that's really old. I would not know how to cope with that. OK, OK, I don't have kids which remind me daily that I'm an old fart.
Really looking forward to this album now.
His Secret World tour in 1993 in The Point, Dublin is still one of the best concerts I have ever attended. Sinéad O'Connor performed the Kate Bush vocals on Don't Give Up and also contributed to Come Talk To Me and Blood of Eden. Astonishing.
I've goosebumps thinking about it.
Saw him on tour a few months ago with his New Blood Orchestra. It was fantastic and I highly recommend checking it out, if he comes to your area.
While Peter is getting on in age and his voice is not what it used to be, he still has that commanding stage presence. His orchestra was incredible as well.
Ok, this is already 8 years old Here comes the flood but for me Peter Gabriel still has a fantastic voice. If you ever want to see someone really getting on his age I can recommend the acoustic tour with Fish (former lead singer of Marillion).
I admit I probably would prefer Peter Gabriel without the orchestra but haven't seen it live yet.
Gabriel was in the studio with his New Blood Orchestra on Later… With Jools Holland this week (the full show is on tomorrow, Friday), and it was excellent. His vocal performance was spot-on—I can’t imagine that “Red Rain” is an easy one to sing.
Forgot to add this clip. Henning, that link is fab. I think the more recent Guitar Centre session is even better.
