Only about 5 people were present anyway it wasn't what I expected. Instead of the band it was Gabriel + Orchestra + 2 Backing Singers performing at Hammersmith Apollo. The 3D effect was used well helping to draw the orchestra into the performance.The only songs I knew were Biko, In Your Eyes,Solsbury Hill, Don't Give Up and Digging The Dirt. The rest I was very unfamilair and to be honest found it a bit of a slog at times without the usual rock band to add a bit of 'bite'. Interesting experience though and shows just how versatile the 3D technology is. I thought the exact opposite Absolutely blew me away from start to finish, and I never really got into Scratch My Back all that much. The cinema I caught it at had about 30 or 40 people in it if I had to guess, which was a pretty surprising turnout.

Please Peter, make another album of new content. Possibly as good as Up?

Next.

I saw the live 3D concert on the weekend and it was very good. Signal To Noise, San Jacinto and Red Rain were all spectacular and the orchestral stuff was much, much better than the Scratch My Back recordings. 

If the studio renditions are anywhere near as good as the live stuff, this'll be great.

I agree, i am sure he is happy about his life in general though. But to bore us with another " Scratch My back" scenario, where sadly he did terrible versions in the main.

Peter needs to stop playing geezer
with his cobweb orchestra

I've seen him in his last "new blood" tour. As 2nd set he played what's going to be released and it's much better that  the "scratch my back" covers, much more dynamic and powerful. The arranger did a great job and I'm eager to listen to this on a studio version

I'm disappointed and left wondering, has Peter finally run out of inspiration?
