Description
In The Big Room captures Peter Gabriel and band recorded live in the Big Room at Real World Studios on 23 November, 2003.
I’d not really taken advantage of the big room as a performance space myself and when, in
2003, the opportunity came up, we grabbed it and offered the small number of seats to
members of the Full Moon club. It was not part of a big tour so we weren’t as polished and
rehearsed as we might have been while on tour, but it made for a more awake and edgy
performance, as we were fully concentrating on what we were doing. There was no elaborate visual show, the whole focus was about making it sound good. I had pretty much forgotten how these songs sounded but listening back to these mixes I was pleasantly surprised how alive they were. I hope you enjoy this as much as we did. - pg
The 14-song set draws on material from both the Growing Up Live tour of 2002/2003 - Gabriel’s first in 10 years that accompanied the release of his album UP - and the subsequent Still Growing Up Live tour that ran through much of 2004. Notable additions to the Growing Up Live set include Burn You Up, Burn You Down, Games Without Frontiers and The Tower That Ate People.
For the performance Peter is joined by his touring band from this period of Tony Levin (bass), David Rhodes (guitar), Ged Lynch (drums), Richard Evans (guitar, whistle, mandolin), Rachel Z (keyboard and backing vox) and Melanie Gabriel (backing vox).
2LP 180g black vinyl, with high-res download code. 2CD in mini vinyl style gatefold sleeve.
