Peter Gabriel

returns to Ireland next Friday!!
In the words of one Kevin 'O Reilly (erstwhile Maynooth college housemate of mine) "F**kin' A!!"
As a long time PG fan, am foaming at the mouth at the prospect of seeing the great man perform again in this country
Has been too long, '93 in the Point to be precise!
Was there with another ex-Maynoothonian incidentally, the lovely Gemma 'O Dwyer (where is she now? God only knows....)
Here's a setlist from one of PG's recent shows on this tour:

The Rhythm Of The Heat, On The Air, Intruder, D.I.Y., I Have The Touch, Washing Of The Water, Blood Of Eden, wdwwt, I Don’t Remember, No Self-Control, Moribund The Burgermeister, Family Snapshot), Not One Of Us / Mother Of Violence, I Grieve, Big Time, Steam, Lay Your Hands On Me.first encore: Solsbury Hill, Sledgehammer.second: In Your eyes.

For those unfamiliar with all things Gabriel that is one helluva setlist! Includes some tracks I've never seen or heard live, cannot WAIT to hear the likes of 'Intruder', 'Not One of Us' and 'WDWWT (We Do What We're Told'), there's at least six tracks here he hardly ever plays

What tracks are missing? Well personally I'd love to hear 'Exposure' from Peter Gabriel 2, and if he doesn't play the mighty 'Signal to Noise', I'll be disappointed but in fairness if PG delivers a set anything like the above I'll be more than happy
