Show memories
My first Peter Gabriel gig!I went to this one with a good friend of mine. We had to wait a very long time in the arenas before the beginning of the show. First we had Idrissa Diop, very enjoyable with some good musicians. Then the Street, a mix of rap-rock-jungle-funk-reggae...A band whistled out by the audience (the lead singer replied "te French can't make good rock n' roll or something like that).
Then Dabi Toure made a short, but creative performance. Then nothing. At this point of the evening you could feel a bit of tension in the arenas : we were waiting for the man for hours, we were very hot, and a bit angry against the street.
So when we saw another guy coming up on stage we began to think that the whole concert was a bullshit!! But this guy was Levon Menassian himself, playing "the feeling begins" so the mood in the arenas changed a lot. This unique moment in the still growing up tour was a great one. Then Peter and his band took the stage. "La belle musique de levon minassian" said Peter before a strong version of "Red Rain" (with some mistakes in the lyrics). It was a very emotionnal moment for all of us in the audience to see the man finally. The set list was a great one with some magicals moments like "secret world", "the tower that ate people", "digging in the dirt" and of course "san jacinto". A highlight. The song had some great lightings effects. Marvellous in this old arena. The show ended up with biko. Another great moment in this (amazing but short)show. Just before Peter said, "the rest is up to you" we could see some big cars with the bodyguards arriving behind the scene. This detail, for me, kiled a bit the magical aspect of this moment. Nevertheless, it was one of the best musical moment I had the opportunity to live. A few weeks later I found my first Peter Gabriel bootleg, and discovered the movement by accident on internet and began my colletion and made my first trade.
A great source of happiness for me like many others people I had the opportunity to meet thanks to this passion. [peter]
