Peter Gabriel

Peter Gabriel in NYC

On Monday 3rd May, Jari & I went to NYC to see Peter Gabriel and his New Blood Orchestra. It was a wonderful concert and the orchestra was great. Us “old fogies” are really enjoying this new trend of classic rock with orchestral backing/arrangementsĀ  :-). Unfortunately my memory is so bad I don’t remember all the songs that the pics come from so you’ll have to bear with me.

A highlight (of sorts!), at least for those of us who loved him in the 60’s and 70’s, was the guest appearance of Lou Reed for his version of Solisbury Hill. Not quite the same tempo as the rest of the concert, but a thrill to see him live, nonetheless.

I do have some video too but can’t quite work out how to upload in a small enough file size, so may need to FTP it to another page and link it.
