    I've been a massive fan of PG since about 1971, and still am. But this tour was the first one where he was clearly using pre-recorded tracks, and it bummed me out. Still does. It hadn't been that many years since ELO was lambasted for doing the same thing. These days, damn near everything you hear at many concerts is a track, sadly. No minidisc and no synth will ever smoke like a horn section smokes.

    I know it's been said multiple times here, but Tony is just an amazing beast on this bass line. Mega Respecto! And of course, we all love Rhodes as well. It says a lot about Peter, the man, that top-flight backing musicians remained loyal to him and his work for decades. Gabriel, with all his talent and various innovations over the years, may be my favorite musician of all time.
