Thu 23 Sep – Peter Gabriel, Ane Brun
Ok, this was different from his last concert, and Don Gabriel is adapting to his physical age. Nevertheless, it was a great performance and really good music, more classical style with orchestra arrangements. I think, quite a few people went to the concert without knowing the new disc and the idea behind it. So they were quite disappointed about this experiment. And if you don't like classic music, you wouldn't enjoy it because Don Gabriel interpreted and arranged songs written by other musicians such as Radiohead, Arcade Fire, Elbow, Paul Simon, etc. in his own way. The first part of the concert, he played the new songs in just the same order as on the disc. So, no surprises here. I thought, they had some serious sound problems in the first part, the orchestra parts were too strong, it was not well balanced. Of course, it was a joy to all catalans that Peter Gabriel addressed the audience in Catalan…
