Peter Gabriel – Live in Athens 1987

It’s incredibly nice to see Peter Gabriel release the bulk of his solo material on Bandcamp.  He even offers a subscription for rare tracks and remixes, most of which are perfectly okay.  This release was a pleasant surprise, as it was, I believe, once released as part of the So box set, but it sounds fine as a standalone disc.  The recording is during the peak of his creative powers, and the musicians working behind him in this tour (David Rhodes on guitar, Tony Levin on bass, David Sancious on keyboards and Manu Katché on drums) are as tight as can be.  As good as one can expect from a live recording.
