In October 1987 after many months on the road, it was in the elevated surroundings of the hillside open-air theatre at Lycabettus overlooking Athens, that the "So" tour came to a climactic close. The three nights were filmed in what was the first-ever Peter Gabriel concert to be committed to film. As a concert film, it was brilliantly shot and has now been equally brilliantly remastered, a crystal-clear record of Gabriel and band in their mid-80s pomp. The viewer is placed right in the heart of the action all the way, from the band's synchronised choreography on opening number "This Is The Picture", right through to the skin-pricking closer "Biko". In between, we're lost in music, spellbound by the spectacle, totally absorbed by the imperfection-free tightness of a band that's been on the road for so long.

There was a hilarious moment, when between two songs a girl from the audience shouted ''Peter I love you!'' P.G. said, "I think I asked you to be discreet''. Then, in the next break a group of guys shouted all together, PETER WE LOVE YOU ! He said, ''And I have asked YOU to be even more discreet ! '' LOL !

I'm a huge Neil Young fan, and a few years ago I had the temerity to call Neil out on a few of the really shitty decisions he's made over the years in how he's treated other bandmates, etc. Anyway, this Neil fanboy came down on me with the wrath of 10,000 suns! He was so upset I thought he was actually going sue me for slandering Neil!

@lordmonty9421 4 года назад

@@TomWatsonB1 You must understand that no one necessarily saying Gabriel is lacking for talent. The production quality here is excellent and he is unquestionably a great performer. However, the lyrics to this throwaway track are absurd, and to elaborately mime the movements of a primate without a hint of irony? He comes off looking like a member of The Wiggles. Now you may very well be The Wiggles' biggest fan, so I'm sorry if that critique hits a little too close to home; but the only way Gabriel could redeem this very dated part of his catalogue would be to say that he and the band put it together while in the midst of a week-long cocaine binge and that the dance moves were an elaborate tongue-in-cheek test to see whether those lacking in taste (that'd be you) would actually accept it unflinchingly.

8 years earlier, his would-be friend and collaborator got the audio engineer for her tour to take a small radio mic, put it on a wire coat hanger that was twisted out of shape, and give her for most of the show so she could sing while she danced, creating, in a rather DIY fashion, the first wireless head mic to be used extensively during a live stage show. I see Peter made a great use of what made its pretty humble (but respected!) start in Kate Bush's tour... I wonder what it would've been like of it had already existed at the time of The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, with Peter wearing all those heavy costumes...
