Funnily enough, the last time I went to the Hammersmith Apollo, Peter Gabriel DID turn up and do a guest spot. It was with The Magnetic Fields in...2002?

Oh wait, that was the Lyric Theatre.
Still, same postcode. PG probably has a little bungalow round there.

i'd like to imagine him sneaking in the back of the venue and on to the stage whilst whispering the lyrics to Intruder to himself

Haha! Well - it's got strong ECM ties (Vasconcelos, Cinelu) and given KB has/had an affinity for ECM it's no surprise. If Eberhard Weber was able to play and be part of this crew...damnnnn.

David Rhodes is an interesting guy – was in a hugely underrated new wave band called Random Hold before becoming PG's guitarist

Still find it vaguely hilarious that Carin plays in both Gilmour's and Waters' bands

Fridrik Karlsson was in in Mezzoforte...an in demand session guitarist now...who remembers this 80's classic

his allmusic credits don't include 50 Words for Snow, although they do include the Aiden Grimshaw album

The credits for 50 Words for Snow just mention an orchestra with no names named

I enjoyed that Bill Hawkes' letter - it was refreshing in the face of what we've heard over the past month. I like KB well enough but "obsequious, unquestioning critical acclaim heaped upon this manifestly overrated singer" is pretty otm and I do rate her. She's good, but ffs she ain't that good!
― Acting Crazy (Instrumental) (jed_), Saturday, 30 August 2014 02:46 (nine years ago) link
yes she is.
― clouds, Saturday, 30 August 2014 03:16 (nine years ago) link
we don't need a KB backlash, thanks tho

she is that good, but some of the fanwank is a bit wanky tbf

The latter is just 'classical musician doesn't really rate pop musician pt-10000000000000000' rather than 'speaking truth to power' but I'm pretty sure there are some really annoying fans at those gigs.

Balanescu quartet's repertoire is straight up garbage.

I have to admit I didn't check anywhere else but here, but are there still no reviews from the later shows?
― ArchCarrier, Saturday, 30 August 2014 11:14 (nine years ago) link
Most publications will only review the first night of any performance or series of gigs.
― goth colouring book (anagram), Saturday, 30 August 2014 11:55 (nine years ago) link
First night is up on d1m3 if anybody is interested.

Links are out there on some blogs but unfortunately all are dead as a doornail. Wonder if she's got a Prince-like anti-bootleg radar on now.

I did wonder if there was likely to be any of it appearing anywhere. I now have the 1st night playing so wonder if any others are going to appear. I think this is pretty obviously an audience recording, sounds pretty clear but has a very enthusiastic crowd audible.
― Stevolende, Saturday, 30 August 2014 17:49 (nine years ago) link
Steveolende would love to hear it!
― Acid Hose (Capitaine Jay Vee), Saturday, 30 August 2014 22:03 (nine years ago) link
It's on Dime. Does sound pretty good though.
― Stevolende, Saturday, 30 August 2014 22:21 (nine years ago) link
& Dime's worth getting onto if you get the chance to.

They don't allow anyone to sign up right now, is the problem.
― ambient yacht god (Le Bateau Ivre), Saturday, 30 August 2014 22:23 (nine years ago) link
Oh right, I thought it was a question of persistence. Certainly was when I joined. Having to keep going back over a period of several hours and try again. After being initially told that there were no places at the moment. Has that changed?
Just struck me that it would take far less time to get copies from that source than having to wait for a copy to come through the post etc
― Stevolende, Saturday, 30 August 2014 22:47 (nine years ago) link
Found links. thanks

2nd Night up too, I'm told
― FML Threads (MaresNest), Sunday, 31 August 2014 10:53 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, just found a load of early demoes are up there too. & several dates from the '79 tour. Including an Xmas special video from Birmingham.
― Stevolende, Sunday, 31 August 2014 12:24 (nine years ago) link
Hearing her do "And Dream Of Sheep" is just... This first night recording sounds great, btw. Fantastic for an audience recording.
― Acid Hose (Capitaine Jay Vee), Sunday, 31 August 2014 12:31 (nine years ago) link
Listening to Night 2 now and noticing her voice is more confident in the first few songs compared come to Night 1. Beautiful witchy energy. LOVE
― Acid Hose (Capitaine Jay Vee), Sunday, 31 August 2014 17:00 (nine years ago) link
Also - an amazing audience recording. Technology sure has moved on haha

One of the things I loved is the Gregorian part in Hello Earth that they looped about 5 times at the end, while she was carried off stage into the audience by the fish skeleton people.
