Peter Gabriel Live 1978

Watched this yesterday, really interesting to see PG's solo career just beginning. Real prog/punk stuff, with a hyped up 'Lamb Lies Down on Broadway' encore. Cool band he had back then; Sid McGinnis on guitar, a 'tache-less Tony Levin, Larry Fast on synths, Jerry Marotta on drums etc.

    Interesting video.  

    I saw an early tour of his--maybe the first one.  It was probably the same line-up.  They played in Asbury Park, NJ.  With all the lights outs in the theater, the band members entered from the back of the hall each one at a different aisle.  They carried these huge, very bright hand-held spot lights.  It was a great show.  Oddly, they did not play Solsbury Hill.   I always wondered about that since they were touring for PG's first solo effort.  

    Should auld acquaintance be forgot--hey, who the hell are you guys?

    Always enjoyed a little PG.
     
    The Secret world DVD is well worth a watch the band really look like they are having fun.

    PG 3 details:

    Gabriel's ex-Genesis band mate Phil Collins, who succeeded Gabriel as Genesis' lead vocalist, plays drums and provides backing vocals on several of the album's tracks. In particular, Collins played drums on "Intruder", which has been cited as the first use of Collins' "gated drum" sound. This effect, as created by Lillywhite, Collins and Hugh Padgham,[8] was featured on Collins' and Genesis's recordings throughout the 1980s. The distinctive sound was identified via experiments by Lillywhite, Collins and Padgham, in response to Gabriel's request that Collins and Jerry Marotta not use cymbals on the album's sessions. The sound was significant enough and influential enough that it has been claimed by Gabriel, Padgham, Collins, and Lillywhite. The drum sound on this album has been noted by Public Image Ltd as influencing the sound on their album Flowers of Romance,[9] whose engineer, Nick Launay, was in turn employed by Collins to assist him with his first solo album, Face Value.[9]Paul Weller, who was recording with his band The Jam in a nearby studio, was asked to contribute guitar to "And Through The Wire". Gabriel believed Weller's intense guitar style was ideal for the track.
    The album, produced by Gabriel and Steve Lillywhite, was Gabriel's first and only release for Mercury Records in the U.S., after being rejected by Atlantic Records, who handled U.S. distribution for Gabriel's first two solo albums and his last two albums with Genesis. Upon hearing mixes of the album's session tapes in early 1980, Atlantic A&R executive John Kalodner deemed the album not commercial enough for release, and recommended that Atlantic drop Gabriel from their artist roster. By the time the album was released by Mercury several months later, Kalodner, now working for the newly-formed Geffen Records label and having realized his mistake, arranged for Geffen to pursue Gabriel as one of their first artist signings.[10] Geffen (at the time distributed by Atlantic sister labelWarner Bros. Records) re-issued the album in 1983 after Mercury's distribution rights to the album lapsed, and has marketed it in the U.S. since (coincidentally, Mercury is now sister label to Geffen after Mercury's parent PolyGram merged with Geffen's parent Universal Music Group in 1999).

    Hi,
     
    I saw him during his second album I think, that had Random Hold as his band, and they were the opening act for the show.
     
    It was very good, and this was the lineup before Tony Levin, I thought. I don't think that Larry Fast was with Random Hold and Peter at all, but will have to check.
     
    It was a very good show and since I was not exactly a Genesis fan at the time, I kinda enjoyed his work just fine. For my ears, these were good shows, and they got better and stronger when Tony Levin and Larry Fast showed up, which I think made the whole thing way better.

    As a wise Guy once stated from his holy chapala ... none of the hits, none of the time ... prevents you from becoming just another turkey in the middle of all the other turkeys!

    I'm still trying to identify which of his first four solo albums I like better:  Peter Gabriel, Peter Gabriel, Peter Gabriel or Peter Gabriel...

    Yes, David Rhodes was with Random Hold, and has been PG's main guitarist for decades now. I saw RH supporting XTC many years ago, they were pretty good as I recall.
