The concert makes its 4K UHD debut this spring
Mercury Studios will release Peter Gabriel’s Back to Front – Live in London on 4K Ultra HD on May 10th.
Back to Front – Live in London captures the complete live performance of the So album from start to finish. This spectacular live concert, filmed at London’s O2 over two nights in October 2013, 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 (David Rhodes, Tony Levin, Manu Katché and David Sancious, with Jennie Abrahamson & Linnea Olsson), and for the first time fans saw them play the multi-platinum selling album in its entirety.
While the core of the performance is the So album, there is so much more to the concert with unfinished, previously unreleased, and reimagined 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.
A notable inclusion in the concert is the song “Daddy Long Legs,” at the time a previously unheard and unfinished piece that opened the show. With the release of Gabriel’s current album i/o, the performance is revealed to be an early, work-in-progress rendition of the song “Playing for Time.”
The disc also includes “The Visual Approach” a fascinating bonus feature on the creation of the live show.
