Peter Gabriel At Irvine Meadows

by chris cunningham

The last of the four concerts tonight. Peter Gabriel on his 2nd leg of the Growing Up tour. Concert highlights? He played “Games Without Frontiers” and “Don’t Give Up”. The 2 Kate Bush songs in his repertoire. He also did the song “The Tower That Ate People”. A song from the Millennium Dome show “OVO”. During “Games Without Frontiers” he and his daughter Melanie rode Segway scooters around the stage. The Zorb was back again during “Growing Up”. I left during the “In Your Eyes” encore to get a headstart on the traffic. I can really do without hearing that song again for the umteenth billion time. Hey, no mirrorball tonight. Oh, and here’s a rather uninteresting photo of the parking lot. This is the “Hey look at me I went to Peter Gabriel tonight” page. Seeing how his last tour was 11 years ago, that’s kinda a big deal. Setlist for tonight: Red Rain – More Than This – Secret World – Games Without Frontiers – Mercy Street – Darkness – Digging in the Dirt – Don’t Give Up – The Tower That Ate People – Growing Up – Shock The Monkey – Solsbury Hill – Sledgehammer – Signal To Noise. Encores 1: In Your Eyes – Come Talk To Me – Father, Son.
