Apparently PG is touring Europe this summer. Take a look at the link for details, but if he does even half of what he's rehearsing, he's pulling out some majorly old, rare, and obscure tracks. Including:
And Through the Wire
Moribund the Burgermeister
Waiting for the Big One
Humdrum
We Do What We're Told
This is the Picture
DIY
White Shadow
Lay Your Hands On Me
On the Air
Family Snapshot
Not One of Us
Mother of Violence
Intruder
I Don't Remember
No Self Control

Good Christ, I hope he comes to the US with this.

That's an incredible setlist.

Man, I gotta say, I'm no huge Peter Gabriel fan, but I saw his tour for Up -- great, underrated album, by the way -- and it was stunning. Probably the best arena-level show I've seen.

Yeah, I'd have to seriously consider attending this if it were to come stateside...which I kind of doubt.

[Alpaca]

That's a "leave the family on Christmas morning" caliber potential set. Ps. Sweet avatar

I've seen Gabriel twice and wouldn't hesitate to see him again. Aways a great show. He's truly underrated.

Peter Gabriel's Up, is prolly the best album ever with that title.

What about Right Said Fred? Oh, wait...that's right.

What...no Solsbury Hill...kidding...just kidding. Really impressive song choices. I haven't missed a US touring Peter Gabriel since his last run with Genesis doing Lamb Lies Down... Obviously, anxiously hoping he brings this sort of list to our shores. Funny Gabriel show moment: Was at Blossom (the shed here)...must have been a late 80's tour. Youssou NDour was the warm up on that tour. Anyway, they were setting up to film Biko for a video. I thought the guys working with the cameramen looked familiar. Then it struck me...it was Godley and Creme. So naturally I shouted out to them "hey...10CC rules". We all laughed.

Was at Blossom (the shed here)...

Sounds like you're from my neck of the woods....or rather, where I grew up. NE Ohio?

Last show I saw there, I believe, was the Bowie/NIN one. Nice venue, though. Way better than Tweeter, or whatever they're calling it now.

[DrJimmy]

fuck, that setlist is like a dream come true.

i've seen him 3 times and it was always phenomenal.


by the way, i'm sure he'll also do stuff from So. i can't see him touring without pulling out "In Your Eyes" or "Sledgehammer" once in a while.

[TJENZ]

picture from above link, a few more songs on what looks like a set list

[Vivian Darkbloom]

Vivian's European Vacation. Holy fuck is that the greatest set-list of all time or what?

[Johnny Feathers]

You can add Rhythm of the Heat to stuff he's rehearsing, with the added tantalizing thought on his webpage: "Will everybody end up playing drums?"

I will end up flying to Europe for this, I just know it.

Hours following my return, he will announce the American leg.

If you flying to Europe is what needs to happen to get him to do an American leg, then by God, book your flight now!

Family Snapshot- that song is fucking incredible.

[Johnny Feathers]

Spoiler below--the setlist. You might want make sure there's something soft for your jaw to hit when it drops. Rhythm Of The Heat On The Air Intruder D.I.Y. I Have The Touch Washing Of The Water QUICK ACC 613 Blood Of Eden We Do What We're Told (Milgram's 37) I Don't Remember No Self Control Moribund The Burgermeister Family Snapshot (German ) Not One Of Us (hybrid..German/English) Mother Of Violence I Grieve Big Time QUICK ACC 609 Steam Lay Your Hands On Me Signal To Noise Solsbury Hill Sledgehammer In Your Eyes

[DrJimmy]

so, yeah, that's pretty much a fantastic setlist. did he fall back into the audience during "lay your hands on me?"

[Johnny Feathers]

It didn't mention it on his website. There's gotta be a review that says whether he did or not, though. My only complaint: of all his old songs, I'd pretty much sell my whole family to hear Humdrum.

[boyo]

I'll bet he'll do an American leg. I'd be nice to see him in a place like the Chicago Theater doing a scaled back show. He could never top the last two tours he did from a visual standpoint. I saw him at the Uptown and it was incredible but I was perhaps too young to enjoy it in full. I did see him do Humdrum and that version ended up on the Plays Live album (from Illinois State University in 82). He also played Lead a Normal Life (which they've never played to my knowledge) because they were playing Normal IL. To top it off, I was sitting next to Adrian Belew during the show.
