In The Big Room (2026)

"A nice souvenir of Peter Gabriel and his band recorded live on PG’s home turf, in The Big Room at Real World Studios on 23 November, 2003. Not something you always associate with PG – a surprisingly intimate concert, the evidence in the polite ripples of applause at the end of each number from members of Gabriel’s Full Moon Club, that took place during a short run of live shows in November 2003. For the performance Peter is joined by his touring band from this period. The intimacy of "The Big Room" doesn’t detract from creating a vast sound that reaches a peak in the slow build of "Signal To Noise". The almighty climax just missing the huge tunnel appearing from the ceiling that was part of the arena shows. Surprisingly the obvious local landmark and debut hit single from ‘7, "Solsbury Hill", fails to make the teamsheet but the highpoint comes at the business end of the set with the ‘S’ sequence: "San Jacinto", "Shock The Monkey", "Signal To Noise" and "Secret World".
