That reminds me, in the early to mid 80's I belonged to FOPG (Friends of Peter Gabriel), his UK fan club. I had to mail a 5 pound note every year for membership to the UK and they sent me a newsletter about 4 times a year. I've seen him twice in concert, '86 and '93, you could say I was a big fan. I had every record of his his, 12" singles and picture sleeve singles, even his 3rd and 4th albums from '80 and '82 both the America and the German pressing which he sang the songs in German, very neat.
Kind of fell out of favor with him the last few years, I guess like so many others, when everyone else likes them and they became mainstream I move on. It started with the So album and the song and video to Sledgehammer. He still makes good songs, but I'm not as dedicated.
For the live album, I like his stuff from early 80's era, when Peter Gabriel Plays Live came out in '83 I played that album every night for over a year. I was hooked you could say. The US CD was only on one disc and only had 12 tracks, the double album has 16 tracks, I guess in America they figured we were not into him enough to spring for a double CD. Check out that CD is you haven't already.
Here is all 16 songs from Pete Gabriel Plays Live '83 on youtube. This is when he was really into the African sound and Shock the Monkey was his big hit.
