Back to Front - Live in London

Andrea Worland this song is about Peter’s quest for God and why God will never show himself when the times are necessary. It could be a hand off God with Peter'sagnostic viewpoint. Period that makes more sense is that why doesn’t God show himself? We’re looking for proof. Favorite track: Why Don't You Show Yourself.

veekew So glad I could attend the 2004 tour but unfortunately not that 2013-2014 tour, with this incredible setlist starting with a pseudo-acoustic set. I just love this live album. Even though Here Comes The Flood wasn't played that often...

jorge alegria Wonderful gift. Nice touch. Red Rain may be my favorite track. Favorite track: Red Rain.

about

To mark its 25th anniversary, Peter Gabriel set out on a tour which would see him play his classic 1986 breakthrough album So in its entirety for the first time. The So album was Gabriel's bold leap from the experimental margins into the mainstream and a benchmark of intelligent avant-garde pop music.
The title of the tour - Back to Front, printed backwards - hinted at more than a straightforward exercise in nostalgia; instead, this was to be an entire So reboot. A ground-breaking artist revitalising a pivotal stage of his life and career with unblinking clarity and fresh vision. A night full of wonders.

I absolutely LOVE Dark Matter and think it is one of PT's best early tracks that holds up to even their best work in the early 2000s, and this particular live performance is sublime! kilimajaro

I first saw them a year later at the Moonloop launch in London with Kava Kava. PT played on ground level with the audience of about 60. These early recordings are where it all started. Stoked :)) matt1098
