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.
Here's the best I could come up with:

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).

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:

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.

I stand corrected - Wikipedia:Gabriel announced on January 9, 2023 that he would be releasing singles from the album on each full moon, and the alternate mix (either 'Bright-Side' or 'Dark-Side') every new moon. He has since stated that he might continue in this release format if he has enough stamina to keep up.[31][32][22] Gabriel has stated that he has 20 or so possible songs for the album.[22]

Well, tbf, releasing one (version) of a song at a time, once a month, gives him time to, you know, work on the album. I mean, it's only been 20 years, which is why so much of this stuff sounds like he could have released it in 2000. He'll need another 20 years to make it sound contemporary, 30 years to make it sounds ahead of its time, like his best stuff. Just let the guy work.

Saw him in concert yesterday, with that setlist posted above, so half hits/classics and half new songs. It all sounded incredible to me. There's this one new song that he hasn't released yet called 'Love Can Heal', when they started playing it I thought they were building up to Mercy Street but it went somewhere else, somewhere astoundingly beautiful. I'm not sure if I was ever moved as much by a live song as with that one.
The staging is very pretty, there are different art projections from different artists on the circle and the panels throughout the show. It becomes a bit of a live museum.
No deep cuts from his earlier work but it's not exactly 'the same old stuff' either, there's some variations and good uses of different instruments. I especially appreciated the brass. And the hits/classics are a joy!
