Only one disc (Disc 2)
Caveat Emptor!
Buyer Beware. Beware:
People are advertising this product and only delivering beat up copies of Disc 2 only.
Live can be good
Why not hear it live to really be convinced. Peter Gabriel is a musical genius. Well worth placing in your music collection!.
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.
