good song; he played this on the back to front tour as 'daddy long legs', it's better with actual lyrics now. also snagged tickets; too expensive, assuming it's the last time I'll ever see him.

got tickets for his October show here...pretty excited. Not cheap but I guess pretty reasonable in the current climate. Got 6th row of the first deck for $110 each + bullshit.

Okay I was pretty happy with "DesperaDomino" until I remembered this is a Gabriel thread, so I ought to focus on Gabriel/Eagles confluences, as opposed to Genesis/Eagles confluence.

Per Bandcamp mailout:
The song features Soweto Gospel Choir, who were recorded at High Seas Studios in South Africa.'The older I get, I probably don't get any smarter, but I have learned a few things and it makes a lot of sense to me that we are not these independent islands that we like to think we are, that we are part of a whole. If we can see ourselves as better connected, still messed up individuals, but as part of a whole, then maybe there's something to learn?'

I can't explain what exactly but something in his singing lines reminds me of Mia by Gorki (former Flemish band, RIP Luc De Vos 2014)

While I'm not super-excited about any of the individual images accompanying these songs (or the songs themselves, for that matter), I do appreciate how PG is emphasizing the work of the respective artists by discussing them in his Full Moon Club videos. It's as if he decided to do this instead of making traditional music videos, which seems like the right move at this point (more dignified, dare it be said).
― eatandoph (Neue Jesse Schule), Thursday, 6 April 2023 17:42 (one year ago) link
iirc each of the songs on Us got a respective commissioned artist interpretation.

So we have what could be 1/3 of the album out so far and i imagine I'm not alone in being well... probably satisfied, not disappointed per se, but I have the feeling that we haven't yet hear THE song from this album. Each album has them and they aren't always the single or most popular song; I'd say Mercy Street, Here Comes the Flood, Indigo, Intruder, Family and the Fishing Net, Washing of the Water, Signal to Noise....I just don't feel like we've gotten that yet from this album. I like all of this stuff, but I'm worried I haven't heard the 'singular' song from this album yet.I guess if one isn't forthcoming it would be the Court, and while I like that, it's a bit short of the goal.

This guy has synched the audio from Plays Live to a couple of horrendously shitty audience videos of the 1983 tour and it's STILL amazing:

plus "the outtakes" - tracks played on those three audience videos not on Plays Live

Hmm. Maybe he needs to refill the coffers. In the past (esp. on the Us and Up tours) the staging was cool as shit, but probably pretty expensive. I heard the So:Redux tour was minimalist but still looked pretty cool. The tour with Sting was simple but effective. This looks fine.

That big circular thing above the stage reveals itself as some sort of screen, like Pink Floyd but no, he's not floating about in a tank of amniotic fluid or projected as a giant hologram, towering over the audience.

I’d also red Lepage was involved again so I was expecting something Us level given the size of the arenas, but apparently he was just consulting, he didn’t do a big design. Screens and projections are fine but absolutely everyone does them now.
