The Power in Playing Live


But Peter Gabriel paved an artistic trail in making his journey into the live "venue" an incredible one. By the time this double-live album was released in 1983, the bins in record shops were flooded with "live" sets; mostly issued due to a band's lack of new product or a means for the record company to cash in on a popular act without spending too much in production costs. The 16 tracks show the lyrical power and solid musicianship that made each show a personal event for every fan. A Gabriel concert was - and remains - a very special time for everyone involved, from the stage to the seats in the venue.

This is a fabulous means to hear Gabriel's classic material and one of the best live collections to emerge out of the "Golden Era of Rock. ".


A must own....
And I loved it. "Plays Live" was my first experience with Peter Gabriel back in 1983. Since then I have bought all his records (I beleive. . . ) but have never forgotten the unique musical experience "Plays Live" gave me. I haven't listened to it since mid 80's when my tape wore out. Today - in Sept. 2008, I finally got hold of a Plays Live CD. It's amazing! Even better than I remembered. Listen to the version of San Jacinto! I own app. 500 cd's - and this album (2CD version) is probably the one I rank highest.


Only rec'vd one of the two discs
I'm still waiting on the second. This is a great cd but I only rec'vd one of the two discs.
