Looking forward to this! Hoping the tour come to the US

Gabriel is one of my favorites but I am not sure he is in the physical condition at his age to pull off a top performance. His last tour was lethargic

[Mr. Holland]

I love Peter Gabriel and look forward to his new album. But I just don't want to go to a stadium concert anymore. If I'll be seeing the artist on a video wall for most of the time, I can just as well watch the DVD when that's released. Besides I'm seeing Yes on the Relayer tour just two days earlier (before the Amsterdam date, that is).

NO F-ING WAY! thank the lords, Peter is a god! My first love in music at the age of 14

[alex peters]

22 shows in 35 days. I wonder if his voice will hold up. His chops are not what they used to be to begin with

[Mr. Holland]

£200 plus fees for Arena floor seats. No thanks Peter, this is too much.

That's indeed another reason for not going. The ticket prices are steap.

Ouch!

PG was one of my faves but the last time I saw him in concert 20 years ago, his voice was so far gone that I wouldn’t pay $20 to see him now, let alone £200.

[True]

I'm not sure of the last time I saw Peter Gabriel - I think it was the "Growing Up" tour - I guess that must have been around 20 years ago. But it was fabulous. I think this was the tour when he got inside of a "zorb" ball and rode a bicycle upside down. And a top band of players. He seemed to be in pretty good form on that tour with Sting a few years ago. If he comes around to an arena in 2023, such as MSG, I think I will try to catch that.

Yes. PG hit 50 and his voice cannot withstand a tour. I am surprised he is attempting another tour and this schedule is brutal over 35 days

This is your 3rd post harping on him. Give the guy a break... He is a professional and knows what he is doing. Who are you to decree "his voice cannot withstand a tour". Sheesh... Let's wait and see till writing the poor guy off-

I for one am really looking forward to when he and the guys come to America. One of few bands I'm excited about. Every time I've seen them he and the band was outstanding. Heard Manu Katche will be on drums too . And Levin and Rhodes! What a band!

And new music !!! Good stuff ! Exciting times...

Ok. Fair point. I love PG.

[Soundwaveseeker]

Above all, I look forward to new music from PG. Live? May see him live too when he swings stateside, though it will be hard to top the Growing Up or Secret World outings. Should be fun anyway though, providing ticket prices aren't too ridiculous. But new music from my faves is the main meat for me. i/o will be an instant buy.

I love Pete but after his first four solo's it really was diminishing returns for me. I continued going but although the staging was indisputably fantastic, the material became less and less appealing.

I hope it's a great tour, but it's not for me.

I may get lectured by Mr. SOMIS again but the past recent tours I saw of PG the staging was fantastic and for me the material has always been appealing. It was his rough voice and clear poor phyical condition that made me decide that I would pass on any future shows.

My guess is this show will be the Peter Gabriel Band and backup singers with lip synching by Peter
