Peter Gabriel At The Staples Center

by chris cunningham

Peter Gabriel at the Staples Center. 16 years between shows is way to long. Last time was at the L.A. Forum in 1986 on the “So” tour. During “Growing Up” a Zorb [LINK] was lowered to the ground, Peter was underground and came up underneath it and into its center. Then he wheeled it out on the circular stage and ran around the stage while singing. He didn’t have any water in his Zorb, and I didn’t have 15,000 people cheering me on [LINK]. No one in this band has any hair left. Setlist for tonight: Here Comes The Flood – Darkness – Red Rain – Secret World – Shock The Monkey – Sky Blue – Downside Up – The Barry Williams Show – More Than This – Mercy Street – Digging In The Dirt – Growing Up – Animal Nation – Solsbury Hill – Sledgehammer – Signal To Noise. Encores 1: In Your Eyes. Encore 2: Family Snapshot – Father Son. Saw Brooke Shields too. Speaking of which, I saw Tommy Lee this week and the little dancing midget guy from “Twin Peaks”.
