Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer (Live in Athens 1987)

Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer (Live in Athens 1987)

In October 1987 after many months on the road, it was in the elevated surroundings of the hillside open-air theatre at Lycabettus overlooking Athens, that the "So" tour came to a climactic close. The three nights were filmed in what was the first-ever Peter Gabriel concert to be committed to film. As a concert film, it was brilliantly shot and has now been equally brilliantly remastered, a crystal-clear record of Gabriel and band in their mid-80s pomp. The viewer is placed right in the heart of the action all the way, from the band's synchronised choreography on opening number "This Is The Picture", right through to the skin-pricking closer "Biko". In between, we're lost in music, spellbound by the spectacle, totally absorbed by the imperfection-free tightness of a band that's been on the road for so long.

This man made me a cup of coffee when I went to his house in London to service his swimming pool in 2008. Cool dude.

Peter Gabriel and Sting have those kind of voices that you always recognize as soon as you hear them.

I miss the Peter Gabriel of the 80s and 90s. What an exceptional musician, artist and performer.

[calmnsense]

'80s music at its finest! Peter Gabriel and his band were top notch performers, particularly live!

[Desireesorenson]

One of the coolest songs of 80's and Peter gabriel has one of those voices that you can't compare to anyone else and he's simply awesome!!!

[neudan]

It's amazing how he and Phil Collins sound similar and have similar nuances in singing. And they are from the same original band..
Crazy..
