Peter Gabriel/IL,USA 1982

Peter Gabriel opened up a new world with “IV (SECURITY)” in 1982. A masterpiece live album that conveys the scene is now available. This work includes “December 2, 1982 Chicago Performance”. This is the best audience recording that records the whole story. Speaking of Peter in 1982, he hosted the first “WOMAD” and also held the limited reunion of GENESIS “SIX OF THE BEST”. First, let’s look back at the schedule at that time in order to understand the circumstances around that. 1982, July 16th + 18th: 1st WOMAD (2 performances) [“PETER GABRIEL IV (SECURITY)” released on September 6th], October 2nd: SIX OF THE BEST, October 30th-12th June 19th: North America #1 (41 performances) ←★Here 1983, February 4th + 5th: Sanremo Music Festival [“PLAYS LIVE” released on June 6th], June 30th-July 9th: Europe #1 (8 performances) July 14th – August 17th: North America #2 (24 performances) September 4th – October 28th: ​​Europe #2 (39 performances) This is Peter in 1982/1983・Gabriel. In between “WOMAD” and “SIX OF THE BEST” they released “IV (SECURITY)” and started a world tour about two months later. The Chicago performance of this work was the 27th concert of “North America #1”, which was the beginning of the show. Also, speaking of this tour, the official live album “PLAYS LIVE” is the symbol, but that traditional album was also born from the four performances of “North America #1” from “December 3rd to 7th”. This work is also the most recent live album, the day before that. Although the recording of this show has been known for some time, this work is the first released master that has become a hot topic as the “A COVID-19 QUARANTINE RELEASE!” series. As you know, there is currently a storm of restrictions on going out worldwide due to the new coronavirus pandemic, but this is a new discovery that will help you survive the quarantine life at home with the best skills (Phil Collins’ masterpiece “CHICAGO 1982” is also available) Although it will be released at the same time, this is also one of the “A COVID-19 QUARANTINE RELEASE!” series, and the show itself is a sister work with the same Chicago performance 11 days later). In fact, the sound is exactly the picture of “excellent”. I can’t help but introduce it as “audience recording” in terms of classification, but the direct feeling that you forget the type when listening is amazing. You can feel the audience in the realistic applause and drum tones between songs, but there is little else. The guitar, bass, and keyboard are extremely detailed, and even in Peter’s vocals, there is no echo component. It is a great recording that is extremely tight and far from the guest records. What is depicted with such a sound is a full show that is similar to “PLAYS LIVE” but different. As mentioned above, it is the day before the official album, but the set is different. Let’s compare and organize them here.・CAR (I): Solsbury Hill ・SCRATCH (II): On the Air ・MELT (III): Not One of Us/Family Snapshot/Intruder/I Don’t Remember/Biko ・SECURITY (IV): The Rhythm of the Heat / I Have the Touch / The Family and the Fishing Net / Shock the Monkey / Lay Your Hands on Me (★) / San Jacinto / Kiss of Life (★)・Others: I Go Swimming *Note: “★” marks are Songs that cannot be heard on “PLAYS LIVE”. …and it looks like this. While selected from the four initial solo albums, the two core works are “MELT (III)” and “SECURITY (IV)”, and all songs from “SECURITY (IV)” except “Wallflower” are included. Big move. In particular, “Kiss of Life”, which also borrows calypso and Latin percussion, is not only not heard on “PLAYS LIVE”, but is also an extremely rare song that was only played on this tour. Peter’s early solos showed his unique sensibilities as he stepped into world music. This is a masterpiece of a live album that allows you to fully experience a show comparable to “PLAYS LIVE” with the finest on-site sound. This work itself is a wonderful musical masterpiece, and it is also special to think about “December 1982” when the two charismatic former GENESIS members mixed together with Phil Collins. A masterpiece that can be enjoyed in any way. Live at the U.I.C. Pavilion, Chicago, IL, USA 2nd December 1982 TRULY PERFECT SOUND Disc 1(58:01) 1. The Rhythm of the Heat 2. I Have the Touch 3. MC 4.
