Friday Night Lights: Peter Gabriel - In the Big Room
DJ Don Edwards
Peter Gabriel – In the Big Room on Friday Night Lights!
And speaking of intimate and electrifying moments, brace yourselves for tonight’s highly anticipated “Friday Night Lights” feature! Every Friday, precisely at 9 PM EDT (9 PM EST), Live Jam proudly presents a very special, full-length live release, played in its entirety. This evening, we are honored to bring you a truly unique performance from the visionary artist, Peter Gabriel, with “In the Big Room.”
“In the Big Room” captures Peter Gabriel and his exceptional band in an incredibly intimate setting, recorded live in the “Big Room” at his renowned Real World Studios on November 23, 2003. This wasn’t a sprawling stadium show; it was a special, up-close concert for members of his Full Moon Club, offering a rare glimpse into the creative heart of his music. The performance took place during a short series of live shows in late 2003, showcasing a refined and powerful side of Gabriel’s artistry.
This 14-song set brilliantly draws material from both his “Growing Up Live” tour (2002/2003) and the subsequent “Still Growing Up Live” tour (2004). Expect to hear a captivating mix of his iconic hits and deeper cuts, including notable additions like “Burn You Up, Burn You Down,” “Games Without Frontiers,” and “The Tower That Ate People.” You’ll experience the masterful interplay between Gabriel and his phenomenal touring band of that era, featuring the legendary Tony Levin on bass, David Rhodes on guitar, Ged Lynch on drums, Richard Evans on guitar, whistle, and mandolin, Rachel Z on keyboards and backing vocals, and his daughter Melanie Gabriel also on backing vocals. The pristine mix by Ben Findlay further enhances this truly immersive experience.
This is your rare opportunity to step into the hallowed halls of Real World Studios and witness Peter Gabriel’s genius unfold in a truly personal and powerful way. “Friday Night Lights” on Live Jam isn’t just a radio show; it’s your exclusive pass to the most compelling live performances the world has to offer. Tune in at 9 PM EDT and rediscover why Live Jam is the ultimate destination for authentic, unforgettable music.
