Soon he returns to the stage and it is here that fans can enjoy a live show like no other in which Gabriel promotes a range of songs that will continue to make his name for years to come. With award-winning songs under his belt it is no wonder this musician is still running strong and has been awarded the likes of the Polar Music Prize over his career, as well as seeing Genesis inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
With Genesis, Gabriel performed alongside Tony Banks, Anthony Philips, Chris Stewart and Mike Rutherford, with the line up also including Phil Collins and more during its life (which still continues today with Collins, Rutherford and Banks). But today it is his solo work that receives much of the attention, and rightfully so as it has included the likes of “Solsbury Hill”, “Intruder”, “Games Without Frontiers”, “Biko”, “I Don’t Remember” and “Down to Earth” for the motion picture “WALL-E”.
When he first embarked on a solo career, his early releases were notable for their lack of names, with Gabriel refusing to give them a moniker. It means that they are usually differentiated by numbers, though fans have given them nicknames to help in discussion. Then when he was finally convinced of the need to name his work, named them simply “Up” or “Us”, it means that his whole discography consists of “Peter Gabriel I” (1977), “Peter Gabriel 2” (1978), “Peter Gabriel 3” (1980), “Peter Gabriel 4” (1982), “So” (1986), “Us” (1992), “Up” (2002). One thing that has defined these releases, however, has been their enduring popularity, containing songs that have gone on to earn him unprecedented success. It means that the man that began with Genesis, is now flourishing on his own.
2010 also sees the release of “Scratch My Back”, which will allow the musician to continue to prove that he has what it takes to keep his fans happy. The album is a series of covers that demonstrate a broad range and help to elevate him above many of his contemporaries. Alongside the likes of greatest hits “Hit”, it shows that even after all of these years, Peter Gabriel is a driving force in music.
Seeing Peter Gabriel live is a must if you wish to see an enduring musician take pride of place onstage. The performer made a name for himself in his early days for his unique dress sense when he took to the stage and whilst he has changed this in the years since, he has not forgotten about the need to make an impression. So purchasing Peter Gabriel tickets is of high priority as they provide you with an opportunity to witness an extraordinary show.
