Peter Gabriel is hitting the stage on Blu-ray in June.
In an early announcement to retailers, Eagle Rock Entertainment is preparing 'Peter Gabriel: Back To Front - Live In London' and 'Peter Gabriel: Back To Front - Live In London (Deluxe Edition)' for Blu-ray on June 24.
This spectacular live concert, filmed at London’s O2 using the latest Ultra High Definition 4K technology, captures Peter Gabriel’s celebration of the 25th anniversary of his landmark album "So." To mark the event Gabriel reunited his original "So" touring band from 1986/87 and for the very first time fans saw them play the multi-platinum selling album in its entirety. As a bonus, Back To Front includes ‘The Visual Approach’, a fascinating feature on the creation of the live show, the track “This Is The Picture” as filmed by fans on the night, and a montage version of “In Your Eyes”. While the core of the performance is the "So" album, there is so much more to the concert with unfinished, previously unreleased and re-imagined songs sitting effortlessly alongside classic hits reflecting what a multi-dimensional artist Peter Gabriel is. With innovative lighting and staging,' Back To Front – Live In London' offers a visual and narrative feast that puts the viewer inside a concert like never before.
Specs have not been detailed yet, but the 2-Disc Blu-ray/2-Disc CD Deluxe Edition release will include: a 60-page hardback photobook and additional interviews and montage versions of "Solsbury Hill" and "Sledgehammer" utilizing footage from live shows across the years.
Suggested list price for the Blu-ray is $19.98 and suggested list price for the Deluxe Edition is $55.98.
