His daughter does backing vocals for him on occasion.

I have seen him 4 times

Last time was 2014

His show opened with two Icelandic women on keyboards and violin

Very impressive

They then came back on with the rest of the band and one of them did vocals on don't look back

Again very good 👍

Re: Life affirming.

Genesis with Gabriel fronting them were great

Less so with Phil Collins, odd good song

Peter Gabriel's solo stuff is very good

I love the Genesis stuff up to and including The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. Not keen on the post PG stuff. I remember buying Duke at around the same time as PG3/Melt and thought it appalling....especially Misunderstanding. Flogged it back to the record shop within days.

Re: Life affirming.

Hear that voice again

Steam

Shock The Monkey

So many great songs

Great backing band mind

Shock the Monkey is brilliant. Just going back to Womad yes it is still going. Womad 82 was a financial disaster so PG had to get his old Genesis band mates to do a concert a few months later to make up for all the financial losses. Another one of my favourites Mark Hollis and his band Talk Talk were the support act.

Brilliant vocals from PG. I like the lyrics too.

Re: Life affirming.

It’s astonishingly good. Gabriel has produced some brilliant stuff over the years, but ‘Melt’ is the only album of his I still play regularly. The sound is near perfect throughout.

It’s a very intense, raw album. Steve Lillywhite did a great job on it. I prefer it to So

So was where he hit the mainstream but even so ......lol .....it was a great album

I liked his use of different cultures in his music

I personally don't think anything beats him belting out Biko live before he leaves the stage

People call him and his like snowflakes etc but you have to have passion to write a song like that

Re: Life affirming.

I’m not a fan really either, just think that’s a great record, but, as Rjk says, it was more the reaction of the two reviewers that was behind me starting the thread.

I did my best to avert it, but I'm afraid this thread has now descended into a bunch of granddad-rock nostalgia

No seriously, I really don't give a shit for what anyone on this thread thinks. Genesis have about as much musical value as steps.

If they float your boat then great, ain't your life a bowl of cherries, but some of us aspire to something more musically.

That doesn't address what B.Oddie said though.
