Peter Gabriel - BBC Sessions, Volume 4: In Concert, Mermaid Theatre, London, Britain, 10-19-2011

Solisbury Hill 2011

Paul says: Here's the fourth and final album of Peter Gabriel performing for the BBC. (At least the fourth so far.) It's different from most Peter Gabriel concerts in that he is backed by a full orchestra.

Earlier in the month of October 2011, Gabriel released a new studio album, "New Blood." It consisted of orchestral re-recordings of songs from earlier in his music career. This concert is basically a live version of that album. But one key difference is he talked a lot between songs to explain their meanings. 

There also is a live album from this tour, called "Live Blood." But it's quite different, with a much longer run time. 

Note that a 2004 concert in Milan, Italy, was also broadcast by the BBC. But this was later released as the live album "Growing Up Live," which is widely available, so I didn't see the need to post that here.

This unreleased album is an hour and 16 minutes long.
